Ice golem vs earth golem ((CS))

Walking down to the Danger Room he scratched his chin slightly trying to figure out the best way to help Locke, who like him had the ability to create and manipulate/will golems. Unlike him however his golems were made of stone and was as far as he knew far more heavier and stinger than his golems. It didn’t mean however Sam couldn’t teach him a thing or two it’s just Sam had to keep in mind that Locke couldn’t due some of the things he could do with his golems, what those things were he wasn’t sure yet but he was looking forward to finding out.

The metallic looking hallway was bland and revealed where Locke was, even a blind man would be able to spot him, then again the only blind man he knew was Luke and Luke could find a needle in a haystack from a mile away, but still it was easy to spot the young boy he met at the dance with Katrina.

”Locke!” Sam said with a cheery sound in his voice and a warm smile on his face, ”You excited?” Sam asked as he walked over with basketball shorts and a t-shirt. The cold metallic felt great on his bear feet.

Walking over to Locke and the main doors that opened with a whoosh Sam patted Locke on the back and then walked in. ”So, care to tell me exactly what you can do before we get started so I can get an idea on what we should work on.”

Sam blinked for a second and nodded his head when Locke said he was placed into a wall, surprisingly not to unheard of when it came to the mansionites and the danger room he went through a few walls but never got stuck in one. The danger room itself was its typical self large round and grey boring now yes but in moments Sam would change the scenery to something he deemed fit for Locke and himself, one where they both could train in.

Making mental note of all Locke was able to work with Sam waved his hand to the god room and instantly the scenery changed to a scene of the Rocky Mountains where he grew up as a kid. Sam had never really been called nostalgic but this did stir some memories he’d rather not remember. Pushing said memories of his childhood to the back of his mind he placed his feet in a nearby pile of snow and then wiggled his toes around and admired the beautiful scenery.

Boulders and jagged rocks covered the ground near to where they were standing the flat earth they were standing on had patches of snow nearby. Off a ways a stream flowed through the rocks that he had placed for Locke specifically to mold and control. The scene was perfect for him and Locke the reason he had designed the area like he did. ”Tell me Locke what do you feel?” Sam asked knowing that from what Locke told him he would be able to feel all he could work with. ”No walls for you to be stuck in this time.” there was however a cavern that was used as a mine shaft decades ago that Sam had put in for later use if the session called for a change of scenery.

”Should be a lot of materials for you to work with just like there is for me.” Sam lifted his hand when he stepped out of the pile of snow as his bare feet hit a patch of dirt and pine needles that were lying about. His hand rising higher and higher and a hand reached out of the snow as an arm followed. Within seconds a golem of ice exited from the pile and Sam smiled, ”Now let me see what you can do and what you’d like to work on.” Sam took a few steps back and gestured to Locke letting him take the floor as Sam’s golem mimicked Sam and took a few steps back.

Sam’s good eye remained fixed on Locke the entire time he seemed to be feeling around the scenery. A smile touched Sam’s expression when he nodded his head to Locke who seemed to just discover the mineshaft leading into the cavern. ”Yes, mineshaft I wanted to see what you were fully capable of and we will be going down there in a bit I just want to see what your capable of with your golem as of now.”

Sam watched Locke shiver and form his own golem taking in each detail of the golem he created the lines and groves that Locke had intentionally or unintentionally created something he did to his own work as well trying to better his new golem compared to the last.

The ice golem was about a few inches taller than Locke’s golem made of dirt which if he had to guess a bit more durable than his golem. ”Now you can create,” Sam said as he took a few steps forward till he was close enough to the golem to reach out in touch it, ”but how well is your reaction time with it?” Sam reached his hand out and instead of reaching forward for the golem Sam turned slightly and reached out trying to grab hold of Locke’s shirt.

Sure his eyes were glossed over but if he was as good as he said he was he would have been able to fell this coming. Adding a step forward to make it easier for Locke to feel Sam waited to see what he would do, all the while his ice golem remained stationary behind him waiting for orders.

Surprise gripped him before he could grasp Locke, not a bad surprise more like a ‘Oh I was right!’ surprise from what he could tell Locke didn’t move but he couldn’t keep his eye focused on Locke and keep an eye out for his golem made of dirt. He only had one eye after all and seeing as he didn’t have his thermal sense activated he couldn’t have kept an eye on both and from what he could guess Locke’s golems wouldn’t show under Sam’s sixth sense, which could be a problem for Sam later down the line for a few future exercises he had planned for himself and Locke.

The dirt hand pushed at Sam and braced against his side managing to push him back but due to Sam’s reflexes he managed to jump back before any real damage could befall him, it was a good thing his eye picked up the golem moving. It was a surprise to Sam to see how fast it moved; then again it shouldn’t have surprised him, his golems could move quickly. Even considering that Locke’s golem was probably far more durable than his golems they moved far faster than he expected. ”Interesting…” Sam said as he took a few steps back making sure Locke’s golem didn’t chase him away if it wasn’t under his control.

”Can you still hear me Locke?” Sam asked curiously keeping his eye on the golem but lowering the temperature so he could see Locke off to the side a bit in perfect sight for his bad eye if he was able to still use it. Sam was waiting for a reaction from Locke because he did see Locke’s eyes glass over. ”Nice reaction time, now do you control them or do they move all on their own with their own agendas?” he was curious to see if Locke did have such control to send that golem after him within a seconds notice.

The problem with Sam’s golems was the amount of focus he needed to get them to move, even if they move with his thoughts it was still a lot to keep them under control and move on his own.

Locke didn’t move, other than the occasional inhale and exhale there was little to no movement that meant that either Locke was in a trance or the kid was good at sitting still. His eye still remained on the golem who shifted his body as if to look at Sam making sure that he wouldn’t make another pass at his maker. Sam smirked slightly and then noticed that when he picked up on movement from Locke the golem seemed to suffer.

”Well that answer’s a lot of questions then…” Sam said taking a few steps towards the pile of dirt that had once been the golem that had tried to force him back. Crouching down and picking up a handful Sam let the dirt fall back down to the pile as he examined the bits as if he was waiting for a secret to be revealed by the dirt. ”So I take it you can’t do much when your in your golem…” Sam nodded his head and then looked to his golem wondering what it would be like to be fully submerged in a different body.

”Why don’t you start off by telling me what your capable of, what your golem is capable of limitations and such, not all the secrets if you want to some to yourself…” Sam looked at his golem and then waved his hand in a motion to draw it closer and so the golem moved. ”For example, I can vary the shape and size of mind and from what I can tell the major difference between my golem and your is I can focus on other things and still control him.”

Then again this was only from what he saw from a few moments ago, for all he knew Locke was putting on an act and only making it seem like was incapable of things that Sam just mentioned. ”It is easier for me to understand what we should work on if I know what your already capable of.” Sam smiled and placed his hand onto the ice golem and then pressed it down forcing it to fall apart into little pieces of ice on the ground near Locke’s pile of dirt where once his golem stood.

Nodding his head to what Locke had said about his abilities Sam had guessed right, ”You know…” Sam said sitting down near his pile of ice that was once his golem. ”There was a time when I couldn’t even make a golem, they are relatively new to me about two years ago I think it would have been near impossible for me to do it, I just lacked the control it always ended up like a puppet…” Sam reached his hand over the pile of ice and snow and a miniature ice golem formed but when Sam willed it to move it was stiff and rigid making it look more like a robot than something that could actually move around freely.

”I always had great control over ice but until I was aware I could make a golem, something that can actually move about I really focused on control.” Sam paused and stood up and focused on the nearby stream as the smaller puppet ice sculpture fell down and apart. Turning his body away from Locke and facing the stream Sam closed his ice and inhaled then exhaled lowering his level then slowly rising up with the water that quickly turned to ice forming three golems about his size.

The started out slowly but they quickly took shape and exited the stream and walked towards Sam and Locke, ”The more I make however the harder it is to focus on myself because even if they can move a bit on their own I still need to focus in them.” Once the golems got closer to Sam he turned his back to them and shrugged at Locke. ”Now a two part question of mine would be have you ever tried to put yourself in a golem before, and have you ever created anything other than golems?”

Sam waited for a second to let the question soak in as he willed the closest golem to him and stepped backwards into the golem. The ice opened up and welcomed Sam like an old friend as it encased his body in ice. It was his ice armor something he always created whenever he was in a fight that required a little extra protection and it was easy enough to control. Once he was in his ice armor he willed the next closest golem closer and reshaped forcing large chunks of ice to fall off until he had a large dual-headed axe. It was far too flashy to be used effectively it was just used for a visualization

Smirking at Locke’s comment he added, ”Well they saw god is the only perfect one…” Sam shrugged, ”Who knows though, he could have had multiple attempts at creating humans they just said he succeeded on the first try.” Sam shrugged and then thought back to when he tried asking the man up stairs for advice, it didn’t turn out to well and since then Sam hadn’t been the most religious person. If there was an all-powerful being Sam figured he didn’t want to play favorites and was the type to sit back and let his creations make their mistakes and achievements.

Sam watched with interest as Locke contemplated his abilities with his golem, ”Well it is never to late to try right? Why don’t you try to create your golem again and once he is created control the dirt inside of him and hallow it out.” Stepping backward and out of his ice armor he had created he waved his hand downward like an artist clearing a canvas, ”Try it out, just remember to leave hole or two so you can breath… made that mistake once, wasn’t fun…” Sam said tying to make a joke as he sat down to watch his young student work.
