The Duel

[Verdan]

((Anyone else: spectate if you wish, but do not intervene.))

Verdan stood on the lake shore, waiting for his opponent to arrive. He gazed over the surface of the water, still as a glass and thought about the event that is about to happen in this place of peace and quiet, so unlike its surroundings. There was about to be a fight here. A fight in which Verdan was to emerge victorious. He needed to teach that insolent fool a lesson about holding battles in a chapel. Just to think: tainting a sacred place, a place to unify with the Lord, with bloodshed. He would not take it. That one shall not fight for a long time after Verdan was through with him.

[Shinji of the Purgatory]

Shinji came walking up the the mage "if you wish to live surrender now and ill spare you"he said looking with no remorse."I will win because a fool like you has no honor defending a demon in a place of worship in the of the lord and if you wish to not fight in his name its your own damnation"

[Verdan]

Verdan turns around slowly and deliberately. He smiled a grim smile, one that would send chills down anyone's spine. It was an unusual expression for the mostly peaceful mage. Keeping a steady gaze upon Shinji, Verdan drew a complex character in the air directly in front of him, muttering an incantation in an ancient language. As he finished speaking, the character faded away and Verdan put his hands down by his sides, his eyes watching for a movement from Shinji. He made no direct reply to the warrior's words, except for his smile.

Shinji didn't flinch or glance away from the mage just looked at him with no smile nor frown he just grabed a sword from his back and just stood there waiting.and started saying a prayer "in the name of the lord lend me power to vanquish the one who oppeses your will the one who has no honor to fight in your name to coward to defend your holy house from the demons from hell I shall make him repent for his sins"

[Verdan]

Verdan looked at the warrior with contempt as he began to speak words of prayer to the so-called 'lord.' First, he defiles a temple, then he prays. Talk about hypocrite. "Prayers will get you nowhere. Make your move, O Defiler of the Sacred, unless you fear what's coming for you." Verdan gradually raised his hands several inches and curled his fingertips ever so slightly, summoning his inside energy, preparing to cast a spell, ready for the warrior to attack.

OOC:LOL took u awile to post here again huh

Shinji kicked some dust in the air to make himself invisible and reappearing behind the mage " ILL SEND YOU BACK TO HELL"

[Verdan]

((If you hadn't noticed before:

Verdan turned gradually and deliberately to face Shinji. He brushed some dust off of his shoulder, eying him up and down. "There's no need to scream, I can hear you perfectly fine..." he said slowly, as if trying to explain it to someone of the inferior mind, using hand gestures to further explain his point. "Do you un-der-stand me?"

[Shinji of the Purgatory]

OOC:my bad i left my cap keys on

"fool" he grabed his sword and plunged his sword into the chest of the mage

[Verdan]

Verdan looked evenly at Shinji as the warrior was waving his sword around in the air before him. "Nice butter knife." Verdan commented as the blade went awry, somehow missing Verdan by an embarrassing distance. He raised an eyebrow. "Little one," he said, standing there as if nothing had happened. "Try not to hurt yourself with that stick..." Verdan talked to Shinji as if he was holding a conversation with a child, not a duel with a so-called warrior. He still spoke slowly and enunciated each word to make sure someone of a lower level of intelligence would understand him.

[Shinji of the Purgatory]

Shinji stared at the man "for one with a big mouth you have no honor for a duel come to me again once you learn it" he sheathed his sword and didappered in the forest

[Verdan]

OOC:LOL took u awile to post here again huh

Verdan laughs uproariously as Shinji tries to make an excuse for an escape that wouldn't make him seem like a complete coward. Apparently, that excuse failed as Verdan was close to tears from laughter at the so-called warrior's attempt at what he calls honor. "Aww, the widdwe warrior scawed to take on de big bad mage?.. Going off to cwy to your mommy?" Verdan talks in a mocking tone of voice as he shatters whatever little dignity Shinji had left into tiny shards of painful embarrassment.

[Shinji of the Purgatory]

Shinji turned arouned and frowned "fool" shinji walked closer to the mage "poisen whip" the wip came out and wrapped around the mages arm burning off the flesh "bafoon" Shinji unsheahed his sword

[Verdan]

As the whip flies forward, it closes in on thin air. Shinji draws his sword, hoping to get a swipe at Verdan, but the mage has disappeared. Standing several feet behind Shinji, the Scholar calls out tauntingly, "Ooh. Impressive. Where'd you find that piece of string, the Avaren dump?" With those words, a powerful wave of raw magical energy distorts the space between Verdan and Shinji, making its way towards the warrior and his 'poisen' yarn. Verdan's hands, however, do not lower. He stands ready for the next piece of garbage that this clown tries to throw at him. "What's next, a banana peel?" the mage inquires in a quite serious tone of voice.

[Shadow]

Shadow walked up to the lake, eager to watch the duel he had heard rumor about. upon reaching the area, he laughed. the rumor ws true. climbing a tree, he sat down on a branch watching the combatants with eager anticipation. Hoping that he wouldnt be included in the duel, he decided against yelling out... but what the heck, it couldnt hurt... so he threw caution to the winds and decided to announce his presence the old-fasion way. "BEEAW! FIGHT! BEEAW!" He stood on the branch as he did this, shaking his fist into the air. Quickly sitting after, he regained his balance, awaiting the next move, and taking notes.

[Verdan]

Verdan was tempted to throw something sharp at whoever the fool was who screamed something about beaus. Not shifting his gaze from Shinji, Verdan forms a large, diluted ball of energy in the general direction of the screaming, not realizing who the owner of the voice was. He was too busy with the current moment to worry if he hits someone who is innocent. It was their own fault that they were distracting him and they pay the price. Verdan would deal with it once he turns Shinji into a rag to clean one's feet.
