Elyjaa vs. Cadence
Cadence pulls two twigs out of his messy purple hair and begins to beat them together in an enchanting rhythm. Tapping into the subtle rhythm of time, Cadence manipulates only one aspect of the normally linear illusion: Healing. Slowly, as the rhythm master's beat continues on, you realize that the thing people tend to take for granted the most is being affected. Leaves nearby begin to show small holes that have been since repaired. Grass that has been walked over slowly flattens, having the ability to heal itself taken away. You quickly imagine what would happen to a human being should this effect reach them and continue for any length of time. Blood would not clot, old cuts and scrapes and minor injuries would reappear, having no way to stop the bleeding. Any more serious injuries that may have happened in the past would soon be life threatening. Slowly the effect of Cadence's rhythm expands, stretching out to envelop Elyjaa.
Elyjaa listens to rhythm and is not something he has heard before. He cannot gets in the bat and thinks that Causcasions has less a charismatic vibe. Since this is an attack that Elyjaa is not used and not sure how to react to an attack like this. He backs away nut still nows that as long the attacker keeps playing the spell will keep will eventually engulf him. He thens kneels down and grabs a handful of dirt with both hands. He hurls the dirtballs at Candence to see if his playing with stop the music thus dispel the spell.
Cadence is completely engulfed in this very difficult spell, and does not notice the first mudball sailing toward him. The mudball is inadvertently effected by Cadence's spell and begins to dry out and harden. Luckily it does not have enough time to get too hard before it collides with the little green elf's shoulder. Cadence is knocked off balance by the unexpected blow. His rhythm stops, causing its effect to slowly diminish. Scrambling back to his feet, he quickly runs away, hiding behind the nearest tree in hopes of avoiding the rest of the mudballs. Pulling a long knife out of his sack of knickknacks he got from Karcas for his duel yesterday, Cadence begins to chant from behind the trunk of the tree. The knife dances away from him, rhytmically slashing and striking as if it was being held by a trained fighter. The knife fights its way through thin air toward Elyjaa.
Elyjaa smiles as he finally gets the duel he so craved for weeks. He takes a short breath of relief as he sees that his plan worked but his small celebration is cut short when he sees a floating knife come for him. He takes a defensive stance to see how high the knife is from the air. To get some excersice he waits for the knife to start slashing and thrusting. He dodges the swings and stabs with ease but makes his way over to Cadence hoping that either he would stop the spell or Cadence will have to dodge the swings from his own knife making another distraction from him.
Cadence yelps as he sees his opponent come into view on this side of his tree. Doing the only sensible thing to do at a time like this, he runs away. Once he manages to get some distance from the threatening weapon, he pulls a small, cream filled, yellow cake from his sack. With a decisive movement, Cadence shoves the twinkie into his mouth. Momentarily distracted by it's wonderfulness, Cadence allows some precious time to pass. With the sudden realization that he's now in more danger than he was before, he pulls out another twinkie and throws it into the air. With a similar movement Cadence throws one of his drumsticks into the air and watches as it impales the twinkie, breaking it in two. With glee, Cadence makes use of the unwavering rhythm of multiplication. Before long, there are hundreds of twinkies dancing around in front of him. Snatching one more out of the air and stuffing it in his mouth, Cadence waves his wrist, pointing his remaining drumstick at his opponent. The twinkies shoot toward Elyjaa with amazing speed. If something isn't done soon, Elyjaa will find himself in a rather sticky situation.
Elyjaa gives a disappointing look at he sees Cadence run away ruining his plan. Still Elyjaa notices the knife drops the ground as the beat changes to a different rhythm. He turns to his opponet as see that he cloning twinkies. Due to Elyjaa doesn't know what a twinkie is he backs up in a tree and closes his eyes saying a nubian prayer. Tree branches from the tree that Elyjaa is covers him as the killer twinkies plat into the braches but still get a little cream on his face and chest area. Elyjaa takes a deep breath with puffes his face. After a moment he lets aout an exhale and leaves from the branch fly out at the elf making a pretty much harmless leave storm.
Cadence tilts his head at the leaves flying toward him, wondering what hidden danger lies within. Taking his sticks, he beats them together, and begins to dance. The catchy rhythm fills the air, making everything nearby want to dance. The leaves form a line and begin swirling about in their own dance with mother nature. After a few moments, Cadence stops dancing and puts his sticks back in his hair. The leaves dance their way off into the distance.
