#22 - Klick Klack

Reena flinched back when flames started licking towards her. She was fairly certain those weren’t real but she wasn’t about to take any chances.

She took a tentative step forward to read the plaque, suddenly less certain about the flames being fake. The heat did feel real.

This room was perfect for her however in the sense that the fire and sense of danger did a very good job at occupying her mind.

She took her wand out and got into a defensive stance before casting a defensive spell to add to her brick.

Reena felt rather confident as she conjured four bricks into place, yet took a step back from the heat as the fire roared against her little wall.
She watched in slight dismay as it destroyed one of her bricks, leaving her with less than half of what she needed to succeed.

While she was aware of the danger fire posed, she was fascinated by it at the same time. This fire especially seemed rather alive to her, almost sentient.

Likely because it was magical. Magic was sentient to some extent after all. She could feel it course through her and all around, especially in such a history rich place as the castle.

She felt almost compelled to compliment the fire but instead she waved her wand in a firm motion as she cast yet another defensive spell to build onto her wall.

Reena felt rather smug when she was able to conjure five bricks. A smugness that was promptly wiped away when the fire sent two bricks back towards her and she flinched back.

Her arm was held up protectively over her face and she glimpsed up behind it when nothing ended up hitting her. The bricks had been destroyed before they could reach her.

Reena cleared her throat and patted down her uniform before getting back in a proper stance.
She glared down the flames, feeling as though the fire was trying to mock her.

She waved her wand once more as she whispered her incantation for another defensive spell against the flames.
