Grinning Sora lept forward, the huge puddle before him comming into his command as it swurled around him, soon engulfing him as he dove at Sheldon, arms held in a cross like postion as he dove head first at the mage, the water a massive stream around him as he'd put out this mages fire one way or another.

The lump, that still resided in the middle of where the puddle had been, moved around slightly, the movements seeming to struggle more as Sora and his attack approached. Right as impact was bound to be made the lump seemed to explode, a massive golem molded from stone sprouting forth and capturing the water bender with its large stone-crafted hands. The impact of the water attack barely phased it though it did chip away some of the mud that caked its rock body. The golem seemed to grunt, its grip tightening as it whirled around and pinned Sora to the ground.
A few feet away, around the area where Sora had been before leaping to attack, an arm smashed up through the snowy ground surface. It was followed by another, both hands gripping the ground as the elf dragged himself out from the ground. He took a deep breath, the chilling air a relief after going under like he did.
"Phew... it's dark down there, yah know?" He said, dragging the remainder of his body out of the ground, the earth seeming to reform and fill the hole he'd previously occupied, making it seem as though he'd never been there. Shelden shook his head vigorously, sending a spray of dirt from his hair and clothes.
"Darn... I'm gonna need a shower or something after this..." He said, looking up and grinning towards the trapped Sora.
"You didn't think I only messed with fire now, did you?" He asked, not really waiting for an answer. He was starting to get really annoyed by both the water bender and the on setting cold. It had to be later in the night by now, way past his bed time at most. He looked back at Sora.
"Like a wise person once told me, never focus on just one thing because eventually someone's gonna out do you in it and then you'll be... something... something... well, it falls along the same lines as now," he stated, flickering his wrist a bit. The waters around him collected into spheres hovering a few inches off of the ground.
"I take it you like water? Water attacks, water moves... probably even prefer to die by water or something. Am I right?” He asked, watching carefully for any tricks the bender was preparing to pull.

Sora only grinned, as he took in a deep breath, his eyes seeming to lighten in color as he blew gentally on the golem that trapped him. The moisture crystalizing almost instanly, as the rock slowly became brittle, With a second breath, the water he was soaked in began to glow slowly, and then, in a nail on chalk board type sound the golem was no more, large spikes of ice now protruded from his body, his lips begining to change color.
"Better listen to that person kid, your out matched..."
The ice seeming to grow like hairs about his once soaked body as it seemed almost alive, if one could tell he wasn't moving at all, though his breathing seemed odd almost as if he were bending the water through his breath and thought alone.
"Funny thing water....it's kin to ice...and well lets just say ice is a bit meaner."
With that said, he held a frozen hand out, knowing his body couldn't hold this icey shell much longer he decided to have some fun with the kid.
"I've seen it all shorty."
He grinned, before breaking his shell off, flying from the impact of the departing ice, he spun into the air, the water's once in the mage's power now flew to him rapidly, becomming ice, as they soon covered the hole, and began to sprout like a tree.
Standing atop the massive ice sculpture, he his movements became sharp, much unlike his flowing movements, the ice now flew fast at the mage, spinning blades the size of kitchen tables, as if his arms were saws on wood, they flew faster and faster.
"Enough of my families died by water!"
He growled as he continued his attack, his body still blue from his icy shell. His breath's comming faster and faster as the blades only seemed to become bigger and bigger.

Shelden cocked an eyebrow, a frown crossing his face at the destruction of his golem.
"Man that was the best one I've ever summoned too!" He groaned. Blinking, he looked at Sora as he responded and frowned, both from what he said and at the fact he was glowing.
"Well yes I should shouldn't I? Course that same person jumped off a cliff. Shouldn't take all the advice he tells me now should I?" He retorted, watching curiously as Sora seemed to glow, blinking and staring at the ice structure he created. Slightly surprised, he looked up to where the water bender was located, eyes growing big just a little bit at the sight of the oncoming ice.
"Hm... to bad it doesn't stand up to fire as well as water," he said, muttering a few words as a red aura appeared around his person, the heat intense enough to melt the snow and fend off any creature that didn't wish to get burned. He gave a slight smile, waiting a moment before jumping up onto the nearest blade, secretly thanking the mother god for the agility she'd granted to her people. He ran along it hoping from one blade to the next, sometimes slamming a fist into any shards that were in his path. Even though he got a few cuts from the smaller shards formed, he pressed on hoping closer and closer to Sora.
"And I'm to blame for all their deaths or something? You really should manage that temper of yours before someone else gets killed by water! Did you ever consider that?" He shouted, jumping and throwing a forceful flame at the water bender.

Sora gave a cocky grin, before bringing a large chunk of ice up to take the firey blast, the ice gave way, water flying returning to him as he seemed to float there, steaming from the firey attack, the ice strcture melting from the heat aura the attack had brought, and with a dash he ran down the now forming water trail.
"Who said you get the honor of dying by water?"
He grinned before flipping clear over the elf, the river like torrent of water however did no follow suite and was plowing towards the mage at rather nerve racking speeds, a small grin as the water bender dug his feet into the snow, a twist of his feet and the ice once more held him in place as one arm and hand held the oncomming river of water, the other twisted and fisted, the snow and ice about the mage's boots freezing as ice began to grip them still, like tar or mud, soon however if the elf didn't move, he wouldn't be able to with out removing his boots.
"Water is one of the four, it purifyies and heals, why would I kill you with it? I'm not a murderer, and you deffinatly haven't earned that honor wanna-be."

"Wanna-be? Who gave you the authority of calling others 'wanna-bes' exactly?" Shelden asked, ears perking slightly as he looked down, watching with slight interest as his boots were slowly becoming encased in ice.
"Purifies huh? So what, it purged your family away? Is that it? You did yourself say that you watched enough of them die by water. That should probably mean something right there. But hey, what do I know?" He questioned. His ears twitched a little the sound of the roaring waters approaching running through his mind. He'd have to do something quickly if he wanted to avoid getting washed away, however he wasn't really worried.
"If you're not a murderer, then why do you seem so intent on killing me? And don't tell me you're not because last time I checked, people didn't hurl gigantic ice blades at others for 'the heck of it'." He questioned, looking at Sora and crossing his arms. He didn't show any signs of fear it seemed, despite the oncoming flow of water bound to take him out.
"And when did there become honor in dying by water? What lame phrase is that anyways? I mean dying by blade maybe or dagger sure, but water? I think I'd fear utensils more than something I drink."

Sora only smirked, as his bangs began to cover his eyes. The torrent dousing the boy nearly ripping his clothing off but doing no major harm as the bender had wanted.
"They were betrayed by the waters, The Creeps saw to that."
He said, the ice encasing the poor mage, a case that now included his clothing as well, the faberics tightening in the cold, as his fisted hand let it go, the ice once again became water.
"But then again, what would you know about The Creeps? Your just an Mage."
He murmured now, the ice about the mage's boots cracking and bursting into shimmering dust as the water bender filled his hidden pack, and turned towards the inn.
"Talk to me when you think you know something about the world..."
He called back as he knocked once and waited for an awnser so he could finally get some sleep.

Magdalena had just begun her decent to the couch, a plate of warm food in one hand when Sora knocked. With a 'hmm' she set her plate and walked over to the door. She gathered all of her long, silky hair in both of her hands, twisting it gently before tossing the strands over her shoulder, to her back. She reached the lock of the door and moved it open slowly, making a small crack to peer out from. She stared at Sora suspiciously a moment, not enough way for him to edge his way in yet.
"Did you bring with you my perch?" She asked him. "I won't let you in without him." She said again and shut the door to Sora, knowing full well Shelden wasn't following directly behind Sora. She locked the door once again and casually walked back to her seat.
"You really shouldn't be so rude, Mr. Water bender." She said aloud to Sora as she ate from her plate.

Shelden shivered, wrapping his arms around himself quickly once he was released. Being wet and exposed to the cold wasn't the greatest of ways to end a battle. Of course he himself wasn't finished quite yet. He hadn't started this battle, but he certainly would end it.
He blinked listening to what Sora said a moment, a frown crossing his face.
"Oh yes! Please forgive me for knowing nothing about such a deadly disease! Please, forgive me for being a mage, as how could I ever hope to possess the knowledge you do about such a dreadful thing?!" He said a tone of sarcasm and annoyance in his voice as he continued.
"I'm sorry for never having an encounter for you. Surely traveling across these lands and witnessing the deaths of innocent lives within homes of families willing to take one in certainly dulls in comparison to the experiences of your own!" He growled, letting out a sharp breath as his frown grew a little more.
"Suddenly YOU decide who's suffered? Suddenly, YOU'RE the only one who's ever suffered? My friend I think maybe it's YOU who needs to go and find out about the world."
Shelden blinked and howled in laughter, despite the pain it brought to his lungs at what Magdalena did. He hacked and coughed, nearly falling over as tears shed from his eyes.
"Oh..." He gasped, wiping his eyes and looked back up. "Now that was a sweet, sweet sight for me." He said, giving a slightly wicked grin. He conjured a small ball of water, frosting it a bit and chucking it at Sora's head.
"You wanna-be."

Sora leaned against the door, taking in a deep breath before turning towards the mage, a rather insane look on his face as his bangs began to cover his eyes once more. Looking back he gave a rather insane smile before stepping back from the door, in a quick motion he stepped to the side, sending the mage flying into the poor door, with a resounding 'thud'.
The snow wafting after the mage, a sprout of left over water his surprise tool, as he now set the mage against the door, his hand clenching the poor mage as he banged the youth against the door, growling.
"Last time nicely, open the damn door, or I'll break the damn thing down!"

Shelden yelped as he was crashed into the door, continuing to yelp and growl as he was banged into the door.
"Ow! You, OW by OW the OW Mother OW Get OW OFF!" He screamed blasting Sora away from him with an intense blast of heat. He rubbed the throbbing areas that'd been banged against the door, his chest huffing up as he glared at the water bender.
"You damned b*****d! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He shouted, getting to his feet and taking in a deep breath of air. He blasted a full force of flames at the water bender, eyes glowing with rage.
"You DON'T treat Shelden Featherswift that way you bloody a*****e!" He yelled, summoning up his aura of heat around himself, the heat much more intense then he'd had it before.

Sora growled, the water in his pack comming to his protection as he threw his arms up in defense, a growl as he swipped at the poor Mage's feet with a strong burst of water, the bender grip at the poor boy's clothes.
'They'll dry soon.'
He thought before pulling out all the stops, snow came from every direction now, ice and water melding into slush as it all flew at the little fire hazard, Sora grolwing before sending a large wave of slush and water over the boy's head, over the very inn itself.
"Shh, hear that? it's the sound of you whinning like a little GIRL!"

Magdalena jumped with the sudden smacking of the door with her human perch. She was about to consume a warm coacoa drink when Sora had gone and done his banging. With a shake of her head and an annoyed sigh, she crossed one leg over another and continued on with her snack.
"Now that was not so curtious..." she said lowly to herself, talking both about Sora's banging and Shelden's cursing. She surmised the fighting would not cease for a while, and that she would never get any sleep at this rate. She looked over across the living room of the inn, to a curious boy peaking out from under the stairs. Magdalena smiled shyly at him, raising and walking past him and dissapearing behind the manager's quarters. She had a plan in mind to stop the fighting one way or another.

Shelden wailed at the onslaught, flailing as he was nearly drowned by the vicious waves. He growled his own way, slamming a fist to the earth and causing something similar to an earthquake, the ground where Sora stood seeming to cave in and engulf the water benders ankles.
Shelden sat up, shaking his head furiously to rid his hair of the water it was retaining. He glared at Sora, hoping to his feet.
"Well do you hear that sound?" He asked, slamming a foot into the ground, further dragging the water bender down to his knees.
"Oh, that's right! It's you whimpering like the dog you are!" He yelled, raising up his own wave of water and slamming it forcefully towards Sora's face.

Sora gasped, the cold water something he hadn't excpected but just what he needed, letting the water poor over him, he began to grin before his icey shell returned, sending him flying through the air, a long cold water whip, slamming into the mage, bringing him close so his own elemental aura could cancel the firey mages.
"Think it's funny? We'll freeze to death if you don't suck it up!"
He growled before the whip became an ice blade, the blade smacking the mage back into the ground as Sora fell a few feet away, breathing or rather gasping at the cold snow along his now aching body.
