Jaxom pulls out his staff and begins to concentrate on a spell. Slowly but surely, three small balls rise out of his pouch and orbit around him. His eyes begin to glow a deep purple; his staff glows the same. The three balls orbiting him soon begin to glow also, and they suddenly break off. In a burst of purple light they become three spiraling balls of ice, able to freeze anything on contact and heading straight for Caitian.
Caitian looks at the three balls heading towards her and decides to take it a bit easy to start. She raises her arms together and her eyes begin to blaze as she splays her fingers and says a single word "Erce". All of a sudden, a stream of fire explodes from her fingers, igniting around the three balls and melting them easily. Caitian then smiles and starts moving her arms in a circular fashion; she also begins to chant in a foreign language, one that has been dead for many years...she chants "Lleu Llaw Gyffes, Anail Nathrock, Dochiel Diende, Uthvass Bethudd, Necrombor Llun!!!" All is silent for a second, then all of a sudden a sphere of flame appears around Jaxom, and it sits there for a second then flames with great heat and starts to expand inwards...towards Jaxom's self. What is Jaxom going to do?
Jaxom growls and mutters to himself about Fire magic. then he stands up straight and begins talking quickly in Elfish. His staff glows a brilliant blue-green, and a similar colored ball floats out of his pouch. Jaxom grabs the ball, and it is slowly absorbed through his skin. Then, like a ripple going through his body, he begins to turn into water. The fire directly beneath him is extinguished as he falls to the ground, away from the sphere, and rematerializes, once again solid. He pulls another small ball from his pouch and tosses it into the air. as it falls, it begins to swirl and change. It stops directly above Caitian and the ground beneath her grows to meet it, trapping Caitian in a cage. The cage of rock and earth then begins to contract, growing ever closer to crushing its inhabitant
Caitian sighs and looks at the cage of earth as it starts to converge on her. She quietly mumbles a few words in that lost language and the earth beneath her starts to warm up until becoming lava. Caitian sinks into the lava just moments before the cage closes on where she was. There is no sign of Caitian for almost a minute before all of a sudden a giant dragon made out of magma bursts out of the earth with Caitian riding its head. The giant beast spurts a stream on lava from its giant maw straight at Jaxom as Caitian silently jumps down to the ground next to it.
Caitian shakes the access lava off of her.
Jaxom looks up to the Magma beast *which is actually a Lava beast now that it's erupted* and waves his staff in the air. Suddenly the wind picks up, and a fearsome gale blows in from the north, complete with snow. This freezing air is just enough to cool down the lava into rock and blow it slightly away from Jaxom. This wind also solidifies the lava beast, an added bonus. Jaxom taps his staff on the ground and a pool of water opens beneath the beast as it falls. Caitian falls with the beast, her paws trapped inside the solid rock that was the beast. with a giant splash, Caitian and Rock formation fall into the pool of water. But how will she avoid drowning?
Caitian gasps in surprise at the rock solidifying around her...and manages to take a breath in before going under the water...(where evidently her fire won't work that well.). Caitian thinks this is a time to use another type of spell. She concentrates and gestures with her head to the trees nearby. Great vines reach out from the trees and lift Caitian and the giant rock out of the water, thus letting her breathe (finally). She then spurts out the word "Yr" and the rock softens with heat so that she can get her paws out. She leaps well away from the rock and lets the trees lower it again into the water. Caitian sighs at the
wet fur but decides that she should get back to the duel instead of drying off. Caitian gestures at Jaxom and a sphere of darkness envelopes him, making it impossible to see, then suddenly changes the darkness to pure light, which is enough to blind him for quite a while, and suffices to daze him for a bit.
Caitian gestures again and the vines that held the stone up now reach around and bind Jaxom tight, making it almost impossible to move. She then gestures again and a group of tigers come from the trees, and start to converge in on Jaxom...
Jaxom sighs, apparently bored with being merely blinded. He then feels something entangle him, and hears the growling tigers. He's not bored anymore. He mutters something under his breath and his staff glows dimly, as do his eyes. He slowly opens them, and screams at the approaching tigers. He says something to his staff, and 2 medium sized balls float out of the pouch. Flying through the air, they quickly flatten out and grow spikes, like buzz saw blades. They quickly free him from the vines and
disappear. Now able to move, Jaxom makes a small gesture with his hands, and a pack of dire wolves solidify in front of him. Effectively frightening away the tigers, Jaxom turns their attention to Caitian. They slowly plod toward her, calm and confident. And hungry.
Caitian notices that Jaxom let his wolves leave her tigers alone for a while but decides to act on that in a second. She raises her hands to the sky and four walls of fire surround the wolves effectively keeping them out of the battle. She then gestures at Jaxom and vines grow again and take his pouch and staff from him, and the tigers turn their attention to him again.
Jaxom tells you: Oh that was mean:)
You tell jaxom: yups... *smiles*
Jaxom tells you: No that was really really mean:)
You tell jaxom: was it???
Jaxom gulps at the tigers and the vines, then looks longingly to his staff and pouch. He closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. Slowly, ever slowly, he begins to grow smaller. Luckily, he only needs to be small enough to slip out of the vines, which he does rather quickly. Now faced with the tigers, he again concentrates. the tigers sense his fear and advance. But then, something in their eyes change. it quickly becomes more than just their eyes, and soon their entire bodies are that of small tabby kittens. Jaxom
then raises his hand, and his staff slips out of the vines and comes to him. Feeling stronger now, he decides to try a new approach. With great flourish, he waves his staff about the air, and a great draconic beast emerges, scooping up Caitian in its jaws, carrying her high into the air, and dropping her. With another quick motion, the ground far, far beneath Caitian gives way to reveal a hideous-looking bunch of jagged rocks.
You tell jaxom: Now THAT was mean...my poor kitties... *sniffle*
Jaxom tells you: Bah! I didn't even hurt 'em! :)
Jaxom tells you: Wouldn't hurt a cat, nope, never.
Caitian yelps in surprise as she's dropped from the air, and decides that it's time to start getting a bit better with her casting. She looks at the draconic beast and quickly extends her powers of control onto it. She gestures below her and the beast circles back and catches her on its back. She gestures again, this time at Jaxom and his staff, and all of a sudden the staff of his is grabbed by erupting lava bursting it into flames as it's pulled under the earth, she then gestures upwards to the sky again and a gout of flame
rises up from beneath Jaxom, enveloping him in superheated flames.
Jaxom gasps weakly.
Jaxom suddenly remembers something from Magic School, and waves his hands about and a strong wind erupts from them, keeping the flames from covering above him. Then the ground below him begins to rumble and shake, and then it erupts with the power contained in the staff, launching Jaxom away from the flames and into safety.
