The jet of flame suddenly began sputtering, and went out, becoming the ring of fire once more. Prythian was still moving at his full speed, which was four times as fast as he could've run, but it was only half of how fast he'd been moving before. Prythian still shot across the finish line, stopping and touching the crystal at the end, deactivating the course. After that he stood there, thinking about the new ability.

Magus flew over to where Prythian now stood, landing silently a few feet away and walking over. "Quite remarkable. Your new found ability grants you a surprising advantage... not just speed and levitation, but the offensive protection of flame as well." The shadowmage glanced down into the trench. The entire Serpent's Gauntlet glowed with the flickering light of flames left behind by Prythian's technique. "I don't think I've ever seen anyone overcome the Gauntlet with so little effort."
"When you're ready I can lead you to the next challenge... or if you prefer something else, I'm open to suggestions."

"There is a drawback to this ability." Prythian said. "When I activated it to it's full extend, I could not help but go as fast as possible. The force generated was too much to even slow down. Manuevering complexly, while easy when this is passive, is nigh impossible when fully activated. That's why I had to attack the golem head on; there was no choice otherwise. I would've slammed into it at that speed."
"However, this Gauntlet taught me much about my newfound power. I must thank you for the training." Prythian looked at him. "The next challenge was a fight with myself, isn't that correct?"

"Indeed." Magus replied, nodding slightly. "A doppelganger fabricated from shadow magic, able to think, learn, adapt, and mimic both your skill and powers to a limited extent. Are you interested?"

"..." Prythian stared at the crest on his hand for a moment. "Another time, maybe. I think I need to return to my base at the moment, actually. I don't believe I have time to bring you with me this time, though. I thank you for your time. And we WILL be meeting again, I can guarantee that."

Magus nodded. "Very well, then. I will look forward to our next encounter."
He gestured towards the cavern's ceiling, and once more the levitating circle of ground began to descend. "When you're ready to go, simply step onto the platform. Again, thank you for your assistance against those Heartless earlier."

Prythian chuckled. "That was nothing. Heartless are a nuisance, nothing more. And you don't need to lower the platform just for me. I can find my own way out of here." He held up his hand. "We'll see each other soon, I think." The crest on his hand gleamed, and fire spread outwards from it, surrounding Prythian. In a flash, the fire was gone, revealing no one there.
