Welcome to Gaia! ::

(sorry got a bit hasty sweatdrop )

alex jumped from the rumble and landed on the pile. " im quite srry but like i said im a little nervous of u" she raised her arms again and the ground beneath ike rumbled and turned to quick sand hardening back when he was up to his neck, only his head now showing she walked up a couple feet from him. " the shadows wont like u very much" she said her eyes turning black as the shadows covered his face, pulling at his skin and hair. she breathed hard, i need to be more careful of my powers. that last move was a little hard to do.

her eyes widened and her heart spead up. i will not die nor will i forfiet. i have to try the new move, its either be killed, give up, or be slightly disbaled. in less than a second she was gone, underground. the light spears clinked together, the one above her stinking in the ground, only inches from her head. she moved under his feet unoticed and collected all the power she could, the ground quaked and surrounded ike, alex apeared before him, her eyes red with anger " i will not be so generous, and im quite sorry to say u will die." she yelled her voice omnious ice daggers bigger than her apeared all around ike, and spikes made of earth apeared beside the mound he was stuck in. the daggers flew at him, hitting him from all sides and he fell onto the spikes. to ensure hus death she sent shadows into his soul, practicly burning him alive. as ike died she fell to her knees her eyes turning back to normal, she fell on the ground darkness clouding her vision. " im so srry" she said before she passed out from blood loss and exhausttion when she went underground the spear on the back of her neck cut her, although it was no where near fatal her body did not do kindly to blood loss exspecially when she used all of her power at once

a smirk spread across her face and she kicked the sword out of his hand. " luckly i held back alot on the test. i did notice the clone but you dont understand. im quite a good actor, i used the energy from the blst you through at the cruch. all power has energy even when exspelled from the body. ur blast was so big i was overloaded with energy." she said jumping away from him. she touched the cut on her throat. " i will admit u scare me ike. i might not win." she pulled her dagger from her boot an held it in front of her. it shone blue for a moment then went back to black. " we're both scratched up, but we're both still breathing. when ou mess with me, ike, i give no mercey. and i gave up my chance. but i might still foreit if im absolutley sure i will die." she steadied herself for his next move. " and to let you no, i did pass out. but power grows, and mine grows quickly."


( i gotta go to bed, can we finish tomorrow?)

Ike let out a sigh of relief and stood up "And to think i was about to play dirty." He said with a smile. He vanished back into the dome ironically next to Falo the vampire. "Oh hey, I guess you saw that huh? Good thing she did not make me use it, like that one demon did." His eyes became cold and filled with dispair "I hate using it."

Bandi whistled. These competitors were good. From what he could tell, they were neither from his time, nor his own world. This was not Shindi. At least not the mortal world of Shindi. He wondered why he was the only one to arrive to this tournament from his time. He was sure that the seven guardians of Shindi were all worthy candidates... But perhaps there were other forces at work...

"Well, here I thought I was lost alone in a odd world! Uncle!"
A voice called after Bandi.
It was a young man who looked barely in his twenties. It seemed his form was preserved as well. It was probably a courtesy of the gods for the services his father and mother provided for the world of Shindi.
He had a playful expression playing on his lips and several scrolls hanging down a sash across his chest. One hand held a large sword and another was bringing a cigarette up to his mouth.

It was Aldeth Darkwoods.
