Raein vs. Cadence
Cadence plops down on the ground and starts rummaging through a sack of random gadgets. Pulling out several handfulls of knives, daggers, horseshoes, and many other sharp pointy objects. Pulling two twigs out of his messy purple hair, Cadence begins to beat them together. While whistling a happy tune, Cadence spins in a circle calling out to the wind. Waving his arms this way and that, the small green elf grins as a breeze picks up and lifts his collection of weapons up and swirls around and around. Within a few moments there is a whirlwind of blades that moves to seek out Raein.
Raein grins, a rare smile spreading across his facade, he slowly slides his hands down to the twin Sgian Dhu's (real fencing rapiers) at his side, quickly ripping the crimson tainted blades from their scabbard's he stares at the new attack ammused. Raising his blade in a salute and the other lowered to his side, he crouches, launching forward he parry's and thrusts his blades to the best of his abilities, small cuts appearing to only make him happier.Reaching the edge of the quay, he slices at the elf's side, his blades making a blurring shine of flowing metal, growing closer to the dancing elf's side...
Cadence yelps and runs away as he seen his opponent coming towards him with an outstretched rapier. Moving as quickly as he can, Cadence escapes with only a small slash on his arm throguh the sleeve of his shirt. As soon as has put a little distance between himself and his attacker, Cadence finds a nearby tree and scampers up it as fast as he can. Pulling a small knife out of his sack, he throws it up into the air and starts beating his sticks together so quickly that the noise seems almost solid. With the shrieking sound of metal scraping against metal, the blade splits in two as it begins to fall back toward Kuri. A second later, the sound occurs again and four blades appear. The entire time the blades fall, they duplicate themselves, increasing exponentially. By the time the weapons reach Raein, there will be hundreds of them.
Raein smiles his bloodlust growing after seeing the hit, then finds himself watching closely as the knife soon ends his celebration, bloodlust only urging him on he starts to spin, his blades becoming as one, his cloak covering his head and face protectively.The blades quickly enter within his area with a whistling sound. Shouting quickly he disappears in a flurry of bat-like beasts only to reappear a few blades sticking from his body upon the very branch the small green elf is resting on, showing he was a bit slow on the defense, but nontheless proving him to be relentless as he slashes mercilessly with both blades at the elf's head, the tree before him appearing to be almost transparent in his eyes.
Cadence shrieks in horror as his opponent appears on the branch next to him. He isn't so sure anymore that he likes this idea of dueling people with swords and sharp pointy things. Instantly releasing his grip on the tree, Cadence calls on the rhythm of Kuri to help his escape. The planet creaks and groans, as it begins to spin a little bit faster. The increased gravity gives Cadence the extra inch that he needs to narrowly avoid having his head lopped off. Landing with the grace of an elf, Cadence groans as he notices a few locks of purple hair floating down after him. Looking up at Raein, Cadence shouts "Timber!!" The increased gravity and perhaps a little bit more of Cadence's diverse magic has caused the tree to be too heavy to support itself. A few other nearby trees fall as well, creating even more of a danger to Raein up on the highest branch of a falling tree.
Raein curses at his miss, the locks of hair floating to the ground meaning nothing but a failed attack to him, the crackling though arises his suspicions as Cadence screams out the one word Raein, makes his moveripping the small blades ouf of his shoulder knowing that it may be a bit tricky...Dropping to the ground he runs forward heading for the one place he knows will be safe, Cadence's spot, slashing madly at anything that may hinder him or harm his progress with a quick decisive slice from one of his blades as he runs.Reaching the little green , yellow-eyed , purple haired elf He slashes down, hoping to create two of the little bard-like elf or half him, his eyes flashing brightly as his twig and brush scraped body hurtles at the elven man.
Cadence groans and mutters as his opponent comes racing toward him once again with a weapon aimed for him. With a little grin, Cadence quickly undoes his spell on Kuri...overly so. The trees suddenly begin to return to their upright position. Running as fast as he can toward the tree nearest him, Cadence grabs on to the lowest branch as Raein's blade comes crashing down. The tree's upward momentum hurls Cadence through the air and away from his blood thirsty opponent. Raein's blade falls along Cadence's leg, slicing off a slice of green skin from his calf. Much better than being sliced in half, one would think. Of course, Cadence is as ungrateful as always, and instead yells down curses at Raein at the height of his soaring through the air for ruining his beloved yellow, polka-dotted outfit.
