[i]He reaches to his jaw and releases the safety switches on the helmet. A white mist sprays out of the respirator and he pulls it off, revealing a battered, but young face. [/i]

"Feel better?"
-
[i]He touches his face and smiles slightly. He nods his head at you.[/i] "Much better... But out there the air isn't always safe, and my lungs are one out of the 6 organs that are all organic."
-
"So You're a Cyborg?"
-
"A very unique kind of cyborg. My augmentations aren't powered per se, they are connected to artificial muscles and nerves which are directly connected to my brain, the only power running through me that isn't generated in my brain is my power core."
-
"So more prosthetics?"
-
[i]He nods[/i] "Exactly, except not as safe to other people."
-
"I think I get it."
-
"And you? How do you do what you do?"
-
"How do you mean?"
-
"You're magic. I've seen people who control time and elements, but not someone who can use magic. No you are the first magician i have seen."
-
"I'm not sure I understand. The first magician?"
-
"Mhm. I've never met someone with your skill."
-
"But I was using elements against you, was i not?"
-
"But the people with the abilities i knew had genomes that let them absorb and manipulate the materials in their body to mimic the elements they wanted, they could even use animal genes."
-
"That's a bit to advanced for my taste"
-
"It was in their genes so it was like breathing, the genes were implanted in them. That science always fascinated me."
-
"Bloody science."
-
[i]He chuckles [/i] "Not one for that kind of stuff?"
-
"It removes the natural ways of magic and such."
-
[i]He nods his head.[/i] "Takes all the fun out of it with its explanations and such."
-
"Too many theories and loopholes and such."
-
"I know what you mean. Its waaaay more complicated than it should be. But i like complexity."
-
"It's very difficult to understand. Especially for me since I'm not from this time."
-
"Oooooooo a time traveler? Interesting... What time period?"
-
"Late Thirteenth Century."
