With the ringing of a gong the battles begun and the Black Mage found himself hurling fireballs and launching daggers of ice at his foe, a young woman whose size belied her ferocity. Her opening movement was a quick dash towards the Black Mage, cutting from one side to another as he slung his spells but still relentlessly charging forward. As she came forward the girl hastily pulled out the colosseum bow and fired a volley of arrows. Despite her quick feet the arrows he could see the arrows were well placed, but their speed suffered enough that he had ample time to dodge, the Black Mage rushing to one of the nearby stone barricades.
The Black Mage took a deep breath behind the cover of stone but knew it would not last long. The girl was determined to make the fight a close one, and he had done little to halt her advance. Looking over his cover for a moment he spotted her dash from one barricade to another, well past the midway-trench. She was getting far too close, and the Warrior of Light needed to at least slow her down. Pulling out of the cover the Black Mage spoke his fire chant before lobbing more fireballs at the girl, attempting to dictate a slower pace to her dashes. Success was fleeting as soon she was perhaps ten meters away and firing another volley of arrows. Another dodge had to be made but rather than go towards his barricade the Black Mage backpedaled, creating a bit more distance between the two of them.
It made little difference however, as the the swordsgirl was on him in seconds, making rapid slashes in all directions. Barely able to follow the martial motions of the young girl the Black Mage counted himself lucky he came out with only a few slices on his arms, but the fact of the matter still stood. The girl had come entirely too close to him.
"Wind, flowing, never tame, throw my foe and give him pain. Aero!" The Warrior of Light spoke as his hands came together for a clap, a cyclone escaping his fingertips and pushing the barefoot swordsgirl, causing her to skid backwards before she came forward to press the attack once again. Rather than wait for the girl to charge however the Black Mage had rushed to follow her skid, waiting a split second for her foot to leave the ground before he unleashed another gust of wind, throttling the now off-balance swordsgirl into the stone barricade he'd used as cover just moments ago.
The young girl was quick to shake off the shock of his advance and pain of being thrown at a stone wall, but the Black Mage had already started backpedaling, not wanting to keep close longer than needed. His steps weren't the quickest but his stance was strong and his mouth was ever moving, completing the chant necessary for his Bolt spell on the move. As the swordswoman would charge she'd find a straight path would be a quick way to meet a lightning bolt's embrace. If he could land a good bolt or two perhaps this would be over before the cuts on his arm gave him too much trouble.
