Maddalena shrugs at the suggestion. “I don't care if you do. Are you sure you want your friend involved with… all this?” she asks carefully. “For all we know, if you invite your friend, he may end up being a target or an unwilling part of our quest.” she warns as such a thing wouldn't surprise her considering the rest of the Parthenon.

"Yes, he's dealt with this. I'll call him and tell him, he'll meet us in the park at 12:30 today, so go get ready." Mallory walks to her room to get dressed. She decides to wear a black tanktop, a pair of dark grey jeans, and pink Converses. She walks to Maddalena's room and knocks. "Almost ready?"

Maddalena grunts as the binding makes her stand and head back to her room. “I thought I said not to this again.” she growls, slamming the door behind her. Fortunately, getting ready in this way means she is actually able to tie on her boots correctly. “Yes.” she grumbles as she finishes running her finger through her hair and double-checks her daggers again before meeting Mallory at the door.

Mallory walks out the door closing it and locking it behind her. "My truck is this way." She walks over to a red 2019 Toyota Tacoma. She starts it up and drives to the park. She walks over to a park bench in a clearing and sits. (LOL reference from the anime rp) "RinRin, I'm here."

RinRin hears Mallory say, "I'm here." He appears from the void of ethereality, casually sitting at the bench with Mallory and another strange woman. "Mm. An immortal, eh? Not looking very much like it," he says to the woman.

Maddalena follows Mallory to the park and looks around. The car ride had been more interesting than she’d actually admitted but she was trying to stay alert in case one of her “friends” decided to torment her. Or threaten Mallory.

The former goddess raises a brow at the boy’s appearance. “Don't mock me.” she warns. “Though I have to admit, I’m surprised. Everyone keeps telling me that mortals are losing the few powers they had and yet… I meet two of you in just two days.”

RinRin nods. "Mm. We are the only two now. I know of the ancient ways to maintain these powers." RinRin looks at Mallory. "What do you need from me, sister?"

“She thought it would be a good idea for you to tell me what powers I still can use while I’m trapped as a mortal.” Maddalena interrupts, answering for Mallory. Though she is curious about the ancient ways Mallory’s “brother” mentioned.

"Mm." RinRin summons flames upon his fingertips and makes it into a ball. He makes the ball of fire float and spin, making entrancing patterns. "Well, I can't tell you that. The only way is to find out. I'm going to do this with both of you. So you two, go stand over there." He points to a spot across the field, about 25 yards away. "Lena - Yes, I know what your comrades called you - manifest whatever you can of your powers. You'll need them." He walks over to a position opposite of the two. There's 10 yards in between RinRin and the two.

Maddalena doesn't give much thought to the display of fire, other than how impressive that must be for a mortal but nods at the request. She is a little surprised by the use of one of her nicknames… For a moment before brushing it off, assuming that his powers are perhaps more refined than Mallory’s.

Once she stands across from the male, she concentrates on her powers with a disappointed frown. Something that once made up her very being is now only accessible to her as no more than a simple thread. Still fairly strong but no where near as powerful as it should be.

RinRin speaks, "You both ready?"

Mallory nods. "Yeah."

Maddalena gives a simple nod, already bracing for an attack.

RinRin casts a shield around Lena. "Mal, you can make your own shield, right?" She nods. "Okay, good. Help Madd attack, okay?"

Mallory says to Maddalena, "Okay, Lena, focus on the powers you had when you were immortal. Imagine using those powers on my brother. You can attack whenever. I'll reinforce the attack a little, but I'm already boosting your focus and, unlike my brother, I have limits."

The former goddess raises a brow at Mallory, not expecting her aid in this way. “I am focusing.” she assures, taking note of the implications. “And while I'm like this, I believe, I too have limits.” she adds before summoning a descent-sized fireball and throwing it at her “opponent”.

RinRin lets the fireball come withing an inch of hitting his face. Then, he grabs it, and amplifies it until its 8 inches in diameter. He lobs it back at Maddalena. "Try harder. You are also welcome to use your blades, by the way."

Maddalena likewise catches the fireball but extinguishes it after a moment. She nods at his instruction and gives a hum as her lips quirk into a brief smile. “I would but isn't the point of this to see what powers I can use? I know how to use my daggers in my sleep.” she points out before creating a “wave” in the ground and sends it racing towards him.

Mallory struggles to focus on three things at once. Keeping a shield, helping Lena focus, and enhancing Lena's attacks as much as she can. How does RinRin do it? she thinks.

RinRin raises an eyebrow, once again letting it come extremely close. He diminishes the wave, with ease, trying and succeeding to show off.

Maddalena smirks at RinRin’s performance, not really disappointed. “Are you sure you're not a Demi?” she asks, using her own nickname for a demigod. It would certainly explain a lot.
