Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rednal wandered into the clearing, blinking slightly, his Mana of Elements floating beside him, looking around with a sort of detached interest. Rednal was a little more in tune with spirits than other people would be, and was a little better at guessing their thoughts... though it had to be admitted that he still got surprised by them fairly often. It could have been worse, though. Still, he hoped that the others would get here soon... it was one thing to be patient while working, but he wasn't quite so good at just waiting and not doing anything.

Loud snoring could be heard in the clearing the snoring was soon after followed by cracking noises coming from a tree near the one Libros was in. And then crack the large branch that had somehow supported this over 200lb man for quite awhile collapsed dropping its contents on the hard dirt floor and there was Arroyo eyes just barely opening from the commotion then widely opening and looking at the tree is disappointment. "Son of a glorious gunner! It took me forever to climb this foul beasty and it doesn't even bear the fruits of my incredibly difficult labor! Eh?!" Arroyo's gaze averted to Libros and the other man who walked on water. Oy you there! He said pointing at Rednal. You feelin freeeeeeeeeesh?! Cuz I sure am! Arroyo had said with great enthusiasm and confidence as he pulled the almost invisible string camouflaged in the dirt yanking his well hidden wagon to him. Then he changed sights to the tree that was next to him noticing Libros. "Oy Mr.Funny Hat we best start If im here and your here stiff proly is to and boss proly be watchin from the far off land o tree town. Stiff is the secret weapon after all...I just yelled that sucker out loud dint I? Oh well ow bout we get this dance on the devils dance floor goin wanna take the first step!" Arroyo dug in his wagon an wanked out one of his larger faux Ballistas and arming it he wanted to get this done fast obviously.

Drawing his bow Libros knocked and fired three arrows rapidly. He was firing from his concealed location roughly 40 yards away. Each shot was aimed at the summoner's body.

After firing his shots Libros would drop down to the ground and sprint into combat weaving in and out of trees. Once he was in 15 yards of his target he would swing his arm diagonally rising up, releasing a 52 card attack that would slice his target.

He talks a lot. Rednal thought as his companion raised her hand. The arrows fired through the air by the weaker one twisted, then simply fell to the ground, followed by the cards being flicked aside so that they dropped as well. Firing attacks through the air when there was an entity present that could control said air was not the greatest plan of action. "Well, perhaps I'll take your bow with me as a trophy when I leave." Rednal said calmly. "If it hasn't been broken to pieces. Sorry, but I don't think the mere fact that you like it means it's invincible. What do you think, a little more wind?" his companion smiled and nodded, before razor-sharp arcs of wind shot towards the two archers, all but invisible as most attacks using wind were, and shot at speeds usually reserved for describing hurricanes. Perhaps the man's bow was strong, but Rednal wasn't so sure the man holding it could survive having the bottom half of his body cut apart. And air was the easiest element to manipulate, or so the Spirit had told him; fire ran wild, earth was stubborn, water flowed well, but wind... wind had no shape at all, and if broken apart, it could just reform with more air and keep going. I hope they give up before Flandre comes out... That could be bad... Rednal thought as he waited patiently. In combat, he generally didn't move much. He wasn't agile except for writing things down. Summoners were like that, relying pretty much completely on the friends they called to act as both sword and shield.

Being as close as he was Libros had very little time to react, he didn't want to have to use this move yet, but it was that or destruction, so without hesitation a three foot current of wind whipped around Libros, focusing it to his feet he leap up thirty feet doing a double front flip, avoiding the attack, then at the peek of his ascent he drew his dagger and focused the wind to his feet once more ending the second flip halfway though.

He was being propelled straight down at the summoner with his dagger in hand at considerable speeds. He would loom like a hawk diving down at it's prey.

The wind slammed into Libros' body knocking him off to the side, however the windstep's current weakened the majority of the attack. Rolling backwards thirty feet, Libros caught himself and got to his feet. Only a little time left......

Gripping his dagger tightly Libros dashed towards his opponent. Using his extreme speed he became nothing more than a blur and to the eyes of a book reading wizard nearly invisible. While the summoner and his monster attacked Arroyo Libros would flank the summoner in an instant, and aim to strike him in the back of the head with the handle of his dagger, knocking him out.

((No, you just intended for them to pass... they were stopped before they got that far. My character's a bookworm; you think he's at all acrobatic? XD ))


The wall of earth that shot up as Libros came in did an excellent job of stopping the weaker of the two fighters. "Kid, maybe you can get that to a good level someday, but as you are, you're weak." Rednal said, chuckling. The Mana of Elements was one of the greater spirits, after all, and nobody at the level of the little one was good enough to beat her. Not alone, and not without one heck of a plan. A little of the mud from the wall fell off as the Mana, quite capable of manipulating her elements freely, pulled the wave of flames back and spread it significantly wider than it had been before. She hadn't allowed it to go much past the man, but was instead bringing it for another strike. And he'd wasted most of what little time he had already...
