A Melodious Warp

Dasha's Siren

**Jay (POV) **

[Kaarmanet, Academy, Training Grounds]

I was working in my office when I heard my daughter screech. I left everything and looked out the window worriedly, only to see something beyond me...

My favorite clip!" Kiah screeched and threw a flame straight at Dasha's tie. Please tell me she did not just do that! I thought grimacing

"That is it!" Dasha shot angrily as took his fighting stance, "Out of the way everyone, your class topper needs a practical lesson on how to act with her KING!" He declared and directed an air blast Kiah's way throwing her a few feet away.

Not him too!

"Oh, how I've been waiting to kick your a*s for a long time, Professor!" She spat narrowing her eyes and getting ready for a fight.

"Are they serious?!" I heard Cahaya exclaim with a giggle. I'd completely forgotten that I was on a conference call with them and now, let's just say, They're gonna keep watching no matter what I say or do! It's not like I can blame them, it was getting pretty interesting!

"Looks like it!" I sighed despite myself.

"Awesome!" I heard Cahan clap his palms focusing on Kiah and Dahsa like it was a fun sport.

Kiah blocked three of Dasha's blows, moving like a snake, and as the fourth air blast spell came her way she kicked it like a ball turning its direction, only to hit a training target. She then turned her wrists as she cast a palm spell at Dasha. He fell back as the spell hit him before he saw it and Kiah topped it up with a water blast directed on his head that had him slump to the ground.

"She's good!" Rebh cheered proudly.

"Is this what I get for being nice to you?" Dasha all but screamed simultaneously dousing Kiah with a water blast twice the size.

"Oh, you call yelling being nice?" Kiah remarked shrugging her coat off, "I'll show you what's being super nice!"

She punctuated the word 'super' before she used the posture-sigil technique to shoot a snowball his way. Dasha barely managed to slide out in time and threw a fireball her way with the same technique which my daughter expertly blocked with another snowball.

"Awww! Are you tired old man?" Kiah chuckled looking straight at Dasha.

"OLD MAN???!!!" All of us repeated shocked.

"What did you just call me?" Dasha asked dangerously grinding his teeth. His shirt bulged and we knew what that meant, he was getting angry... really angry at that!

"God help Kiah!" I sighed, "She brought it on herself!"

"She'll be fine! You should have more faith in her!" Vira chimed.

"You are getting me wrong, Vira! I have complete faith in her arrogance!" I retorted.

"OLD MAN!" Kiah repeated poking the bear quite literally.

"Does she want to get killed?" A professor on the sideline remarked.

"That girl is beyond my comprehension professor, please keep me out of it!" Remakred her music teacher.

An infuriated Dasha, as expected, used the one technique no one else besides him could in the entire Kaarmanet Planet... Mayika: A Rhythmic Sigil spell-casting technique that was also a dance form in itself for the steps taken to cast each spell looked like a dance routine. It was powerful magic that not many knew how to combat, as no one could cast it, except Dasha.

Dasha began with his right foot at 180 angles ahead before bringing his left forward, shoulder length apart, and knelt half, only to rise his right foot high above his head. His hands flowed in synch with his body and we heard a magical rhythm as he moved. He then turned his body to the left with ease raising his left foot to his shoulder and spun around like a play blob leaping forward with great elegance. He landed on his right foot while his left leg was still raised high and took a triple flip before landing on his toes; his body fell to the ground only for his right elbow to break it. He moved like water as the elements responded to each step he took; while Kiah, who was standing 12 feet away, was being hit nonstop by pressure blasts that forced her further back. By the time, Dasha was done Kiah was on the ground her face stuffed in the dirt by the pressure spell so powerful that I felt its power 13 feet away and 2 floors above ground.

"Oh, Chaos witness! How the heck is she holding out?" Adri cried on the call, "I feel the spell, all the way here!"

"So, do I!' Queezed Vira and Cahaya at the same time.

"Humhumhuhuuuuuuu...." Began a melody out of nowhere. But it wasn't a normal melody for with each note that was hummed water droplets began to dance. Each droplet raised higher as a new one raised from nowhere, forming a chain that had everyone's eyes glued to it. The melodious humming got louder by an octave when the necklace of droplets pulsed in synch with the melody.

Dasha's focus must have been disrupted by the sight for I saw Kiah push herself off the ground and the melody got clearer. The droplet necklace soon began moving like a ribbon encircling itself like a whine around Dasha's body tightening with every note that she hummed. Kiah hummed louder and louder tightening its grip around Dasha to push him down to his knees. Dasha knelt down with a red face as he couldn't breathe with the droplets chain tightly wound around his body. With great difficulty, he threw a lightning spell on a tree nearby drowning the sound of Kiah's melody, to free himself before collapsing on the ground.

"What have you done to him?" Screeched a girl from her class angrily, only for my daughter to look confused.

"Sirrrr," Dasha breathed.

"King Dasha, are you alright?!" Quired Dasha's security head as he rushed to his king.

"Siren!" Dasha mumbled a little louder catching his breath.

"She's the SIREN!" Dasha repeated looking my way through the window.
