The dry air carried the scent of the forest far. The crisp leaves that had fallen off the giant green canopy crunch under the black boot of a tall man, he wore a dark suit of clothes and a dark circle brimmed hat. He stopped abruptly, his hands in his pockets. He stared at another man in this hallway of trees. The other man stood tall, he wore a light suit of leatherly armor and his eyes glew like hot coals. The moon that shone above the forest revealed the dark clothed mans face, his eyes a deep blue. Suddenly they btw charged at each other, the sound of twigs snapping crackled the air and then the smell of ash birders as the leathery dressed man conjured a blast of fire from his outstretched hand. The blast was dodged by the dark man with a simple leap to the side. Then another leap at a second blast. The trees behind the man however did not enjoy this manueverbility and birders in flames. The entire forest Egan to burn and glow. Then like a dark gust of wind the dark man became a blur as he unhumanly dashed next tothe fire conjurer. The two clashed in a battle. The firey man's hands burned with fire as he thirsted a power ful fist to the other man's gut. In return the dark man open his hand and Palmer the other man's chest and with a whirr and a dark flash. The fire conjurer was blasted backwards. The dark person smirked and let loose another blast of this mysterious energy with both hand creating a rift in the middle of the burning forest which the man walked into. And the rift disappeared only to reappear above the firey man and the dark man dropping out of it. The dark man fell on te firey man, slamming him down with a grunt. The firey man struggled to turn upright and then he smiled. Then a giant blast blew a shallow crater into the forest, sending both men into the air. The dark man was severly burned, but with a twist of his wrist he created another rift and used it to appear next to the other man as they fell to the ground in a synchronized way. The two thrust each others gut. Fire burning the dark man and a mysterious energy bashing the firey man. Then the dark man stopped and blasted the other man back. .... ...... ........ .........
