Ienzo looked up at her and nodded, suddenly feeling rather more awake than he had earlier. He wasn't sure whether he'd gotten a second wind from being up for so long, from resting on the train a little or whether it was his nerves keeping him on his feet.
"He is," he confirmed. "Pure Ice. No subtypes. He's probably the most powerful Ice Elemental you're ever likely to meet and he knows how to use it to its full potential." Somehow, that still felt like an understatement. "He doesn't look like much, but he's powerful. He's a mage and a true Master of his element. Don't underestimate him should it come to combat."
He remembered Ulquiorra's recording and how Axel had looked on it. It was as though he had the Fire he wielded entirely under his control, even in that volume. Vexen was, in Ienzo's opinion, better than Axel with Ice than he was with Fire. Axel lacked Vexen's precision control and relied on physical attacks as heavily as magical. Vexen did not.
"Now we just have to find him," he said.
He looked at the yawning darkness ahead of them. Daguerreo was built into a giant, hollow rock, or possibly a dormant volcano, probably thousands of years ago. It was said to pre-date the War of the Magi. Ienzo could hear rushing water up ahead of them and he could see the moonlight that managed to penetrate the Mist glittering on what could only be two waterfalls either side of the mouth of the cave. He smelled nothing of interest, not yet. The scent of the sea was strong, but even that was dampened by the ambient Mist.
