Duel:Felmacius v Satoshi
Satoshi vs. Felmacius
- Judges: Verse, Jerralith, and Jacklin
- Winner: Satoshi, unanimous.
Felmacius nods and says "Aye lets dance." swiftly he twirls the bladed staff at Satoshi with a descent speed.
Satoshi eyes the whirling blade with a cool air, her face unreadable as her position upon the ice blockade shifts from idle crouch to a proper precautionary stance. As high up as she is, on eye-level with the giant, Satoshi has no more need than to shuffle back a step as words dance from her lips in a call to the frozen element beneath her. Her defense against the approaching weapon comes in the form a trio of hefty stalagmites springing up before her, thick girths eager to endure the slicing of Felmacius's weapon and spare the cat. And with those standing between mage and paladin, Satoshi carries on her quiet casting, words sinking into the blockade and producing a faint glow, seconds before a myriad of sibling frigid spikes erupt from its face. Conjured, pointed tips lunge for the massive target of a giant in a mockery of an approaching spike wall, each possessing a glacier's stoic durability. Let the dance begin.
Felmacius clashes the metal against the ice barely cracking it, after he pulls his blade he moves back in despite to the mages defence he wipes the little bits of sweat on his face "let us fight with honour." he then starts to swirl the blade not forwards but in a circular motion as if it was a bladed shield.
Satoshi scoffs, the sound used to pull the spikes back into the blockade with a crackle of ice. "Honor is death. Fight to live." There's almost a tune to her words, and once more the mage proves her every sound is unwasted, speech put toward her spell-weaving. It's the only warning the giant will get, before the section of blockade at her feet abruptly throws itself skyward, a veritable wall of snow between ice magus and dancing blade. Snow that marginally gives under the whirling movements, allowing Felmacius to push forward. Until he's cut through half the barrier, and Satoshi hisses another command to her element. Ever obedient, the wall shudders once more, solidifying from the soft snow to a solid sheet of ice. A sheet of ice possessing an alarmingly keen edge as it suddenly descends upon the giant, in a fashion reminiscent of a guillotine.
Felmacius stands his ground as Frost_sickle flies down at a speed where his beak would be an arrow descending upon Satoshi, he then spins the blade in a very fast motion as the ice cuts his elbows up a bit but the blade caused the ice to split in two only doing minor damage towards him.
Satoshi has long since forgotten the bird's presence, focused as she is on keeping Felmacius at a safe distance. But she receives a painful reminder when the damnable beast drives his beak into an arm outstretched for the start of another spell. With a hiss, casting interrupted, Satoshi backpedals and flails, dislodging the winged corpse with a violent jerk and a wet 'shink'. But not before her balance is compromised and she's tumbling down the blockade, ultimately placing it between herself and the giant with her misstep, and earning her a handful more cuts and bruises in the fall. Hissing her displeasure, the mage shuffles to the barrier between her and opponent, bloodied hands pressing palms flat against it. The singing nature of her weaving vanishes, replaced with the cold, harsh words of an indignant cat as she snarls out her demand once more to the ice and throws the full-force of her magic behind the spell. The result is instant, an upheaval of the entire wall, curling upwards and forward like an algid wave to hover over Felmacius for a long second. With the crack of spidering ice, the tidal wave crashes down under its massive weight, with a preemptive hailstorm of frozen, needled icicles announcing it--for good measure.
Felmacius stands recieving the pain of the icey needles "argghh!" he then spins the blade in a circular motion winds speed pressing down Satoshi hopefully suppressing her casting he then signals Frost_sickle to let the upwind push him straite into Satoshi hopefully dealing moderate damage towards Satoshi.
