Basically, I've decided to dust off my favorite little red-headed boy for a casual 1v1 RP. Honestly, I'm in a bit of a lazy mood though, so I'm not going to post a profile (You don't have to either, just post a name, and maybe a class, basic description and species if you feel like it.).

Setting:
The mushroom forest: By all standards, the mushroom forest is a rather.... odd. True to it's name, its a forest made almost entirely of mushrooms. From giant mushrooms which block out the sun and rival trees, to feilds of tiny musrooms which almost act like grass, the forest is filled with 'shrooms, along with a variety of insects, moss and lichen, which prosper due to its moist, dark nature. The fight will take place on top of the mushroom forest, on the tops of the giant musrooms.

Reason to fight: A freindly spar, unless you want something less generic.

Rules And Requirements:
Nogodmodding
Play until the end of the match.
First person to post gets to play
Spectators are allowed, as long as they dont physically interact with the palyers until I say so, if I say so.

I'm very very very tempted to use my namesake in this fight but since that would make things less interesting I'll use one of my other characters but I'll tone him down a bit to make things more interesting for me.

Name: Kenju Zamura

Nickname: Kenju of many blades

Age: 23

Race: Human

Weapons: 6 elemental blades (none for this fight though)

Spirit:

Wolf Berserker: When Kenju loses contact with his swords, his family curse takes over his mind sending him into a kind of wolf human crossover form. In this form Kenju's eyes are a hollow white, his hair is bright silver, his teeth become fangs, and his hands resemble that of a wolfs claws.

Special Attack:

Talyn's Vengance, A technique Kenju picked up from his cousin after being forced to kill him after his cousin was completely taken over by his own wolf berserker, this skill allows Kenju to creat various animal like objects such as claws and other things out of raw energy. (Not lightning just a pure form of energy)

Physical Characteristics: Kenju is extremely quick and known for being able to hold his own against the fastest of opponents.

Reason for fight: After speaking with Bolts in regards to Athias, Kenju consulted his inner wolf, a very odd thing to do in a crowded town, and decided a quick spar would be perfect for testing out his newly aquired techniques.


Eh I know you didn't need a character sheet but I just can't help but make em somtimes.

On one end of the Giant Mushroom's top stood what appeared to be a boy, albeit an odd one, with deep crimson eyes and hair the same dark-red shade. While he wasn't particularly famous, his name was not an unknown one in these parts. The crimson-boy's name was Athias, an energetic boy of crystal and lightning, famed for his hyperactivity, unthreatening appearance and his enigmatic orb, which never left his side. However, there was something odd about Athias, something very odd indeed. For one, his signiture orb was only half it's orriginal size, now only about twice the side of his fist. Though the unexplained change in his orb's side was only one of the rather odd changes about the boy. For one, two feathery, red stumps portuded from his brown shirt and the marks which covered his body now looked like oddly-red scars as opposed to paint. The boy's size remained the same as it always was, though with his sudden change in clothing and appearance, he gave off the impression of a much older man, especially since the ridiculous spikes in his red hair were gone, replaced by a mass of messy red hair.

However, despite this rather odd change in appearance, possibly amoung other things, the boy's wide grin and personality remained mostly unchanged. Which was good, because otherwise, he might of seemed rather threatening when he smiled widely and gleefully said. "Let's begin."

(I'll allow you to use the first attack.)

((Very well then))

On the opposite side of the large mushroom 'tree' stood Kenju swords and all. After reaching for a small clip on his chest all of the six swords he carried came tumbling down to the grown as a light blue aura began to surround him. With a look of what appeared to be a mixture of respect and mild anticipation, Kenju turned towards Athias.

"Yes quite...." Kenju muttered as the aura began to flare out a little more violently as Kenju's hair, eyes, teeth, and hands began to shift into the usual features of the wolf.

"I take it I can trust you to leave my swords alone...." Kenju said as he vanished from sight and reapearred directly infront of Athias while swinging a clawed hand down towards him.

"Or this fight will be anything but friendly!!!"

Athias braced himself as his opponent began to glow faintly blue, if an opponent started emiting an aura this early, it was obvious that they weren't fooling around. Athias also decided not to overlook that the man he was facing had morphed into a rather ugly half man-half wolf beast. However, Athias hadn't prepared for when his foe had suddenly appeared right infront of him, bringing his paw down in a violent slash. A smart move, as it caught him unprepared, but it might have been smarter if the foe saved a move like that, when Athias was running out of energy.

The red-haired boy didn't have enough time to jump out of the way of the attack, but he did have enough time to counter-attack, so that if he would be hit, so would his foe. His hands glew red for a breif second, before he let out two bolts of lightning, straight at Kenju's chest.

((Who're you callin ugly >=O.....also the aura just kinda happens whenever he's preparing an attack so yeah....))

Kenju couldn't help but be struck by the bolts as he was sent rocketing backwards a few feet before performing a kind of backward hand spring to regain his footing. After raising himself back up he grimaced a bit at his badly torn and burned shirt and with little to no effort, ripped it completely off.

"Not bad little electromancer....not bad at all.....but tell me....how long can you keep that up?" Kenju muttered before dropping back into an odd animalistic like stance as the blue aura again began to surround him.

((You, yer ugly as sin.))

"I can keep it up longer than you can endure it from what I've seen," Athias said with a superior grin on his face, "and that's all that matters in a fight like this. " He realised that the wolf-man was most likely trying to goad him on, so that he didn't realize he was preparing for another attack. Athias decided he should play along for now, his foe was fast, and possibly strong, but he had proven to be much too rash and impulsive to prove any real threat. "And honestly, you don't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed. You've already revealed a usefull combat trick, and expected someone who manipulates something as fast and unpredictable as lightning not to expect a sudden attack."

Athias' orb glew red for a breif moment as it shifted it's shape into that of a spear. With a deep-red wooden shaft, a rather sharp point, and brilliant red feathers tied where the two met. Sadly Athias didn't have time to admire his wonderful creation, he was in the middle of a battle, and he couldn't afford to lose his concentration. Athias' hands and bare feet became covered in red, eletric energy as he threw his spear right at Kenju with all his might, aiming for his stomach.

Kenju listened intently at the boys own bragging. To be honest it was hard for him to even keep a straight face at the boys own arrogance. It seemed to him that this boy honestly thought he had seen Kenju's full array of tricks and as so could endure anything Kenju could throw at him.

Unfortunately Kenju didn't have much time to laugh as the boy launched the spear towards him. As the spear drew closer and closer a wide smile appeared on Kenju's face as he simply turned his body to the side allowing the spear to glide right by him as only the feathers managed to tickle his skin.

"....Been practicing for a few dart tournaments have we?" Kenju asked as he turned his back to Athias and held his hand up to his eyes so as to watch the spear travel onwards before turning back to Athias and extending his clawed hand out to his side.

Soon after doing so an odd blue light appeared around each of Kenju's fingers and extended down to the ground. Then, with one quick sweeping motion, the claw like blades of energy shot towards Athias in the shape of a wolfs paw, tearing through the mushroom upon which they stood as it did.

((When did Athias brag, he never claimed to be amazing, just that your character isn't. It might be arrogance, but it's not bragging))

As the spear flew past Kenju, it's angle rapidly changed, and it embedded itself in the ground only a few inches away from him. The spear was a part of Athias, and while he couldn't fully control it's movement, he could manipulate it to a certain degree. This would be important for later, but for now, he had the matter of Kenju's destructive attack, which was tearing through the mushrooms and was headed straight at Athias. The attack was moving fairly fast, but it's speed wouldn't have been to much of a problem, if it wasn't for the fact that it made the mushroom's top weak, prehaps to weak to support Athias' weight. So Athias decided to make a compromise, he would dodge and fall, but not before doing a bit of damage to is opponent.

Before making any attempt to dodge the attack, Athias concentrated on the spear behind Kenju, thinking a single word, boom. After a few seconds, the spear exploded in a red flash, it wasn't a large explosion, but hopefully it would be large enough to either hit Kenju, cause the ground below him to give out, or both. Without further ado, Athias jumped over the attack, and landed on the weakend ground, which immedatly gave out and caused him to plummet about 15 to twenty feet downward, with only a small chunk of mushroom to weaken the impact of his landing.

((Payback for callin me ugly =P...or maybe I'm to lazy to reread it iuno...))

The explosion from the spear plus the rapidly splitting mushroom launched Kenju forward. Before he could grab on to the side of the mushroom it was already out of his reach. Because of this the only thing he could do was prepare himself for landing.

Upon reaching the floor with a somewhat muffled 'thud', Kenju raised himself back up and brushed his mushroom covered shoulders off.

"Who in God's name designed this place...."

As Athias hit the ground, the piece of mushroom underneath him seemed to explode, bit's of it falling everywhere. The mushroom had served it's purpose in cushioning the fall, but as Athias landed, he slipped on a peice of the mushroom and fell straigh on his face, right into some more mushrooms. Needless to say, Athias was getting sick of mushrooms.

Aside from a bit of light which came from the newly-made rips and tears, in the large mushroom Athias was fighting in just moments ago, the Mushroom forest was completly dark. The ground, which seemed to be more moss and mold than dirt, was soft and moist, and gave off a distinctive damp smell whenever he stepped on it. Infact, the whole forest smelled damp, aside from the faint smell of smashed mushroom which Athias was now covered in. Truly it was an odd forest, if it could be called that, but what was even odder was the creatures living in it. As Athias fell, he had spotted an insect the size of him, which had scurried off before he had the chance to onbserve it. Then again, a fight was still going on, so it was doubtfull he would have had the chance even if the enigmatic creature didn't flee.

"I honestly don't know," Athias said, replying to Kenju's question, "But whoever it was, he's clearly insane... Now do you want to start the fight again, or should I."

((Ha-ha, self-mocking.))

"Actually I'd like to kick Bolts in the nuts for sending me to this fight in the first place so he wouldn't have to come but since I'm here might as well finish it." Kenju grumbled as he tried to brush the last remaining bits of mushroom off his pants and appeared to be getting a bit dizzy from the stench.

"God I hate this wolf sense of smell sometimes..." He continued to grumble before again assuming his animalistic like stance.

The plain and simple fact about Kenju was that he was predictable. His moves were varied, from what appeared to be teleportation to that energy-claw attack he used a few minutes ago, but how he acted was not. Every time, before he began an attack, the wolf-man took up that same stance, which gave Athias time to prepare for an attack, or, if need be, a counter-attack. And Athias was not about to overlook that oppertunity.

First things first, Athias thought, I'm going to need a weapon. Athias' spear was buried somewhere amoung the mushroom debris, but not for long. After about a second, it began to glow and revert into it's natural of an orb shape, then flew past Kenju and into his hand, where it tranformed back into the shape of a spear. Athias barely held back a grin as he raised up his spear with his right hand, as though he was about to throw it again, and ran straight towards Kenju.

((Nuts, Bolts, Geddit?))

((Que?))

Kenju continued to smile at Athias as he lunged towards him spear in hand. The boy had obviously overlooked the fact that he had been faring much better by simply waiting for Kenju to attack but with this new turn of events Kenju rose up and spread his hands and feet out apart leaving his entrie core open for attack.

Athias was thoroughly impressed, Kenju had managed to do something completely unpredictable, for better or for worse. The Wolf-man had managed to surprise him, but only by doing a really stupid move, leaving himself completely exposed as Athias ran at him with a spear. Perhaps, Athias mused, the wolf-man is smarter than I've given him credit for. He's probably trying to set me up for a trap, so that when I attack him, he'll maul me, or at least beat me up. I've taken every opportunity I've gotten so far, but this one is a bit risky, perhaps it's time I stick to my original plan and make an opportunity of my own.

Despite the obvious trap, Athias didn't stop running at his foe, and didn't even change his position, aside from him bringing his arm farther and farther backwards. Until suddenly, right before he got to Kenju, he planted in in the ground with all his might, using it like a javalin, and hopped over Kenju. His back was facing Kenju as he flew over, leaving him unable to attack, but not for long. The red stumps on his back began to glow, then became covered in electric energy in the shape of wings. Athias turned around in mid-air, pointed his fist and Kenju, and let loose a blast of eletric energy.

As Athias lept over him Kenju performed a kind of limboesc dip behind him so as to keep the boy in sight, turning, as he did so. When the boy let loose the new beam of electric energy however Kenju had to drop down just a tad bit lower to the point where he was being supported by his right arm but still able to manuever out of the way of any potential attacks that would soon be launched towards him.

((I saw the ooc question you posted before editing the post and yes I did open myself up while you charged at me with a spear. Theres always a method to my madness......just not always a good one.))

"You forgot one thing," Athias said with a grin, just before the spear exploded.
((Short post, but I couldn't really think of any good way to make it longer, and I'm mad tired.))

((Meh its ok I get tired of making big posts anyway.))

Kenju used what little bit of propulsion he could muster from his new stance to dive out of the way of the new explosion, hoping that atleast it would have some effect on Athias, before turning back around. He casually waited for the dust and debree kicked up by the spear to cloud both his and Athias' vision before he began rapidly circling the boy.

"Oh where oh where has my little dog went?" Kenju growled from just outside the cloud before leaping through it at what he expected to be Athias' backside.

"Oh where oh where could he be?" He now laughed as he threw a rather strong kick to the backside of Athias' head.

((Don't ask me why he just sang a children's song.....it seemed like a good idea at the time.))

"This isn't good," Athias thought as he was overcome by the dust. Not only was the moldy debree mildy-unhealthy to breathe in, it made it near-impossible to see anything that wasn't directly in front of him. If his opponent was also hindered by this, Athias wouldn't mind it as much. But unfortunatly, Kenju was a wolf-man, which ment while he couldn't see Athias, his sense of smell would allow Kenju to find him just find. Just when Athias thought it was all over, the idiot started talking, giving up his general location; behind Athias. Athias spun around and let loose a bolt of lightning. Unforetunatly, just as Athias spun around, he was greeted by a kick to his midsection. The kick threw Athias backwards, sending him tumbling into the moss.
(1. This post Sucks.
2. Man... I want another of my characters to chalenge Kenju... It would make such an awesome fight.)

((I could bring Bolts or another one of my characters in along with your other character and we could make it a two on two fight with each of us conrtoling two characters?))

Kenju flinched as the bolt of lightning shot into his right arm numbing it sufficiently for the time being. But Kenju didn't have time to concern himself with the tingle in his arm, he had thrown his opponent off balance and against electromancer's this was indeed a rare oppurtunity. Without further delay Kenju darted on all fours ahead of Athias until he was infront of him and prepared to deliver another intercepting kick to his midsection.

((Also if you like Kenju now you should try fighting him when he does have his swords.))

((That would be pretty interesting, you introduce bolts first, I want to keep my character a surprise (Namely because I'm debating which one to use.)))

The biggest mistake the Wolf-Man had made was thinking that Athias was only skilled in electromancy. Now, this wasn't a stupid mistake, infact, most people didn't even know the full extent of Athias' powers, as he tended not to use them. He hadn't even mastered electromany yet, but he found that it came much easier to him than his other-skills. Unforetunatly, the of the eletric-attacks he had currently mastered, none could provide him with a knock-back which was strong enough to allow him to get on his feet before the wolf-man struck again. No, Athias to do something unexpected, unexpected and powerfull.

Typical aerokinesis was useless in a place like this. There was to much cover, and it would be easy for his gales to pick up, and throw large chunks of mushroom debree everywhere, potentially hitting him in the process. No, he'd have to use a branch of it in which he was particularly skilled; sonic.

Athias clapped his hands as the wolf-man got close enough, releasing a powerful sonic boom which sent him flying backwards, and would hopefully do the same to the wolf. If it worked, the distance between them would give him a huge advantage, as his lightning could probably reach farther than Kenju's fists, or rather, claws.

Kenju was sent rocketing backwards by the unexpected and to some extent unexplainable shockwave. He had expected this to be nothing more than a fight with a simple electromancer yet this boy possesed far more than a few thunderbolts. However he didn't have time to ponder this any further before he found himself caught in what appeared to be a web of raw lightning. Yet the web didn't cause him any harm. What could be the explanation to this? Kenju would soon find his answer though it wouldn't be one he exactly wanted.

Kenju: "What in God's name are you doing here Bolts?"

Bolts: "Business was good so in the interest of protecting my 'product' I left early..."

Kenju: "You come up with some of the strangest names for your balls you know that?"

Bolts: *shrugs* "You going to keep complaining or should I let you down yet?"

Kenju: "Oh by all means please do...." Kenju said as Bolts dicipated the web out from beneath him causing Kenju to faceplant right into a rather large mushroom.

Kenju: "I.....HATE.....YOU!!!!"

Bolts: "Love you to buddy...."

(Ugh... I don't know who to choose... Byraku or Reas... hmm... how abotu someone whos already faced bolts, Raz. Remember that creature you RP'd against for about 8 posts before I determined he was to weak? This is him, only, he's much stronger.)

A figure darted out from the trees, lunging towards Athias. With what appeared to be a mighty blow, he sent the boy flying, knocking him even further down into the forest. "What the hell was that," he shouted, as he got up, he looked around, but the sun was almost completly eclipsed by the mushroom tops, so he couldn't see anything. He heard the same sound he had heard just before being knocked back, he braced himelf, and prepared a bolt of lightning, hoping it's atleast deter his unseen foe. But before Athias could get up, a raspy voice came from behind him, saying, "Wait... you're Athias ain'tcha? Everything in this place smells like mushrooms, and I sensed eletric energy on you, not my true foe."

"Raz, is that you? What the hell are you doing here?"

"I've got a bone to pick with that annoying spark over there," Raz said, most likely pointing at bolts. "And it doesn't help that I'm saving your sorry ass from having to figt two opponents at once. Now charge up a blast, I'm going in, and I needyou to cover me." With that, Raz was gone, rushing towards Kenju or Bolts (Whoever he could get to first), baring his claws.

(Kenju v.s. Raz
Bolts V.s Athias)

Bolts: *Sighs* "Would you hold on for a second Kenju?" Bolts grumbled before tangling several webs of lightning around the mushrooms circling them so as to perform a protective and sticky shield around them.

Kenju: "Whats that all about?"

Bolts: "Ohhhh you'll see in about.....2 seconds." At that point Kenju could sence Raz coming towards them before he turned back to Bolts and asked.

Kenju: "What bar did you rip off this time?"

If the other electromancer believed that such a barrier would stop a craging stalker, he was wrong, dead wrong. Raz was weak when he had first faced the boy, weak and cocky, but now, his claims weren't out of cockyness, but out of fact, years of training had made him exponentially more powerful, as bolts was about to find out.

Raz ran straight through the web, only showing the slightest hesitation. The sticky web fell off of him in only a few seconds, its magic failing. You see, a stalkers fur, skin and blood are all highly magic resistant, to make up for a stalker's lack of magic. So while Raz felt pain, that pain was grealt yreduced, and not nearly enough to stop a charging stalker Raz brought his hand up and swung it down powerfully, aiming for whatever part of Bolts he could hit.

Bolts tossed his scythe to Kenju as Raz came barreling through the barrier and in a flash was standing behind Raz as he slashed through the after image of what used to be Bolts.

Bolts: *Whistling* "Over here...."

Kenju had by this point walk back over to Athias with a white flag hanging on the end of Bolts' scythe to indicate a pause in their battle.

Kenju: "Is the big mutt a friend of yours?" He asked as the six swords he had previously dropped rose from the ground and attached themselves to his body causing him to revert to his normal, more human looking form.

(After-Image? Couldn't you think of something else... I mean c'mon, that's so cliche'd)

"Yes," Athias said, "I guess you could call him that, though watch who you're calling a mutt. First of all, it makes you look like a hypocrite, and second of all, you might just bite off more than you can chew. I'm willing to bet that that 'Mutt' can slaughter you, in fact, that would be pretty interesting to see, wouldn't it..."

"Hey Raz," Athias yelled to the stalker, "how would you like to switch opponents?"

The stalker turned around, and Athias could finally get a good look at him as he stood in the dull light. He was, if anything, even more frightening partially obscured by darkness than he was in clear daylight. His wrinkled snout and sharp teeth were highlighted, along with one of his slit-like eyes, which glistened oddly in the queer light. The beast's silky-black fur was so eerily bright that Athias could barely stand to look at it for more than a few minutes, and it's claws gave off a rather large and intimidating shadow.

Raz grunted a grunt of annoyance and arrogance, and it was clear he did not want to switch opponents, not until he had done away with his current problem anyways. That was both a stalker's bane, and a stalker's boon, their arrogance. Stalkers were stubborn and prideful, a necessary trait for a hunter. If, on the off chance, a stalker couldn't instantly make a kill, they would stalk their target for days, even weeks, to ensure they got it eventually, hence their name. And, after several long months of tracking, to even think about facing someone else almost caused Raz pain.

However, after a few moments of thought, Raz grudgingly replied "yes." Raz's reasoning was crude, but effective. It was obvious that this wolf man knew Bolts, and that Bolts was no match for Athias (In Raz's opinion anyways :ph43r: ). So perhaps, in addition to striking down his foe's friend, Raz could watch the two electrokinetics fight, and observe Bolt's weakness for another fight.

(Basically, it's officially Raz V Kenju and Athias V Bolts.)

((Yes well I think clones are vastly overused and after images are cooler so >=P ))

Bolts turned back to the bargaining Kenju and Athias leaving Raz completely open to attack him. He seemed atleast mildly annoyed that Kenju was so ready to bargain off an opponent he knew next to nothing about for little to no gain whatsoever.

Bolts: "*Ahem!* Would somone care to ask me if I'm interested in trading!?"

Kenju: "Nope now shutup and fight Athias while I deal with the big mutt...." These were the last words the more reasonable Kenju would utter for the rest of the fight as he unstrapped his swords from his body and again assumed his wolfen form.

Bolts: "I thought you said you couldn't control that form just yet?"

Wolf Kenju: "Eh I'm feeling cooperative today...."

Bolts: "Ah..."

((So yeah incase anyones wondering Kenju has to deal with alot of voices.....his inner wolf talks, all six swords talk, even his pet wolf talks....he just doesn't know that yet))

(Both are retarded. Why cant you just block, or atleast jump-back.)
A bolt of red lightning pierced through the darkness, it disappeared almost as suddenly as it had appeared. Though the bolt was unexpected, it's origin and target (Bolts) were obvious. Oddly enough, by the time the bolt was gone, so was Athias, who disappeared deeper into the darkness. The boy could have been anywhere, but it was clear where he would end up, as close to his target as possible. Several seconds later, a spear flew out of the darkness, landing at Bolt's feet.
--

Normally, the red-boy would have given more warning before making an attack, and his actions surprised even Raz. But that's not to say they were totally unexpected. Raz knew that the boy would do something like this, most likely to make it up to him for stealing his victim. If the boy lost, Raz would be pretty angry, and there was nothing worse than an angry stalker.

Raz decided not to strike first, he would let his current opponent go first, and see what he did.

Bolts leaned to his right as the bolt shot by his head before he lept up into the air to give him a better view of the battlefield. He watched as the spear was launched from the shadows and promplty sent his own flurry of bolts towards that general area.

Meanwhile Kenju was cracking his nuckles while staring at Raz with hollow white eyes. Raz might indeed be more wolfish than him but appearances were often decieving as was often the case for Kenju. He soon dropped back into a somewhat defensive stance as the strange blue aura again surrounded his body.

((I don't use them as a form of dodging but rather just to illustrate how fast Bolts is capable of moving when he doesn't have his scythe))

((Dude... that's kinda, overly fast... eh?))

Athias grinned, fighting this novice was going to be easier that he thought. The boy was fast, but unless he could sprout wings, he was helpless in the air. Athias rocketed out of the shadows behind bolts, the feathery stubs on his back becomeing alight with red energy in the shape of wings, as he propelled through the air, charging at bolts. Athias punched the air right behind bolts, letting out a powerful gale that should send the (Insert whatever bolts is) flying.

((Is Bolts a boy? A member of a specific race, something that I can use to make it easier to mention him without saying his name?))

((Ugh, stalkers kinda look wolven, but only very slightly, mainly because of their snout, which is more resemblant to that of a pug's.))
"Do you honestly think that's going to work?" Raz smirked. It was unlike a stalker to talk to anyone but themselves or their allies in mid-battle, but Raz couldn't resist. Fighting this buffoon would be to easy if he gave fair Raz warning before using a move. Raz jumped backwards, and disappeared into the darkness, the wolf-an would never guess where he was hidding, he was sure of that, and being in the forest for days, he smelled just like it. (Normally I wouldn't pull that card, but if I didn't, you'd assume Raz was somewhere he isn't, and everything would be screwed up.))

((Well he is an electromancer after all, speed kinda comes with the job, and he's like 26 so no not really a boy))

Bolts turned just in time to see the aero charged punch connect with his right shoulder blade and send him rocketing downwards towards one of the larger mushroom like trees. Upon impact he bounced once and landed firmly on his feet while looking up towards Athias. He seemed moderately perturbed that the boy was more than an electromancer like himself. Seems he'd be firing his information gatherer soon but that wasn't important; what mattered now was that Bolts had to come up with a new strategy for attacking Athias.

He quickly placed both hands infront of him as a small ball of lightning formed between them and shot out towards Athias. The ball itself wasn't intended to hit Athias so much as blind him long enough for Bolts to dissapear into the shadows which he did so very promptly.


Meanwhile Kenju was still in his defensive stance as the blue aura surrounding his body faded away. A smile appeared on his face as the stalker dissapeared into the forest. Seemed he could succesfully ward off both Athias and Raz by looking as though he intended to attack. That knowledge would be useful later but for now he'd wait for Raz to make the first move.

"I've got all day Raz......aaaaaaaaaaallll daaaaaaaaaaaaaay"
