Reaching Out

A boy left all alone in the world after being abandoned by his mother in a poor clan that treated him harshly because he started showing signs of being different from other kids and the people around him. With him being ostracized more and more he became less and less of the cheerful young kid he use to be until eventually turning discreet and mute around others in hopes that they would stop being scared of him. Though that plan never worked out for him and, in the end he was left to strive on his own as best as he could in the environment he was left in. He explored the towns library and any books he could find in his Clan even if they were useless. Years on years of doing such things eventually led him into stumbling across a book that would help push him towards the thing he wanted the most. "The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

Lightning and Ice

"Well Ice isn't the worst for me I guess." Facing her opponent she tried to ease the pain any way she could while moving her arm around while scanning his body trying to detect her Astral Energy inside him. She had figured it might have been gone but to her surprise it was still there hiding and waiting for her command. "I guess he's not the best in this area." Most people wouldn't let such a thing happen to them so they would get rid of it as fast as possible unless they simply couldn't.

"Well that's good."

"Wow you managed to actually get back up from that, impressive."

Hearing his voice for the first time since the match started she grunted slightly.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"Indeed, I do hope you can prove to be more resilient."

Rolling her eyes she didn't even bother replying to him anymore. "I wonder if it's just this clan obsessed with trash talking or what." Each member she had fought from Feltin seemed to be not the nicest of people and it seemed that trend was going to continue. "Well whatever, words are just words." At this point she was getting used to it so she didn't pay much more attention to him as an individual as she watched him attack again.

Charging Astral Energy into his weapon he created extra Ice Spikes that stuck up from every end while he ran forward preparing to swing. This would add a little more weight making it a bit harder to swing it but it would help him end this fight faster. "She's a lot tougher then she looks but she did make it this far so that's not too surprising." Contrary to her good looks she was quite feisty in fighting and her tone of speech but he didn't mind it too much. "If I can land one or two more hits she'll probably be finished. Ignoring the slight stiffness in his body he appeared in front of her and wound up his attack before smashing towards her. He wanted to end this here and now if possible and if she was as weak as he hoped after that hit it would be the end if he was lucky.

"Just because she can still move after that doesn't mean she'll be perfectly fine." Smashing down he tried to finish it but lost track of her as his hammer's end got into his vision before smashing into the ground with her nowhere to be found. "Dammit." That move was always risky for that exact reason but he hoped to catch her off guard while injured but it seemed she had more fight in her then he thought. Looking around him he tried to find her body but couldn't as he felt a hand clamp onto his shoulder sending jolts of Lightning into his body causing him to stutter a little in place before he felt another fist fly into his spine shoving him forward on to his own hammer.

"Argh"

Flying into his own weapon he fumbled to grab a hold of it as his back ached but he didn't have time to deal with that as he felt a foot touch his back again before he could even pick up his own weapon that sent him flying further away from his weapon before he eventually stopped a few meters from the edge of the arena. Fortunately his attacker stopped there as he opened his eyes to see her standing near his weapon breathing heavily a little bit. "So she has this much strength." He was surprised that someone weaker than him and smaller then him could actually do so much damage to him as he eased himself up off the ground. He would have to try and grab his weapon again if he wanted to win but that might be difficult if she played it right.

"Haa..Haa..."

After that Tearia felt her breathing become heavy as she chose not to pursue. "Keeping all this up takes too much energy and I still need to fight more today so I need to end this fast. A couple more times should do the trick and at least I got him away from his weapon as well. Should make things easier for me." She had used her high speed and his brief period of blindness when he attacked her just now but that would no longer work yet she was okay with that. As long as she could keep him from grabbing his weapon life would be easier for her. "All that's left is just sit here and let him come to me a couple times." Snickering she grounded herself where she was as a confident smile surfaced as she crossed her arms and waited for her opponent.

Time limits did exist in these matches that would happen after thirty minutes that would decide the winner based on the flow of the fight throughout the time limit and the winner would be decided by the three Referees that were watching on the side. "It'll be my win." With the way the fight was going now she wasn't too worried about it being her loss if her opponent refused to come at her but that wasn't too much of a worry as he came towards her while her smile grew even brighter.

"Let's get this over with." Thinking that to herself she blocked one of his attacks before attacking herself not giving him the chance to escape. If he wanted to walk right into her plan then she wasn't going to let him out now. Sending more electricity into him she refused to let go for a couple seconds before a kick made her back off to stop herself from stumbling to the ground but she had done what she wanted to. With a couple more of those he would eventually be unable to move completely and the fight would be over. Slapping his arm she made sure he couldn't grab his hammer while she was forced to retreat before she launched herself forward a little bit while kicking him right in the knee forcing him to bend slightly and punching him in the gut again.

"This is over."

But a cold feeling started to run up her arm at the last second.

Little late sorry..

Enjoy
