"Sure," Elena shrugged, taking off her ring again. It turned back into her daggers. She examined Kayla. She was a daughter of Apollo, skilled enough with her archery and good enough with magic to heal.

Kayla pulled out her bow and nocked an arrow, eyeing Elena's stance. She anticipated them with no problem, a strategy forming at the back of her mind. Silently, she decided to play defense and get the hang of her opponent's moves.
Elena cocked her head, angling her daggers. Around her ankle, on the inside of her black heeled boots, a small Mist charm started forming. A darkness spell, for her to form into a ball later. She took a quick step forward, slashing out with her right dagger.
Kayla used her sword to block the slash and shot an arrow, aiming at the girl's boot. She didn't know what she was doing but instinct told her to shoot that particular place or she'll be a goner.
(she can't see the charm since it's in her boot)
(also, how is she holding a sword and a bow and arrow? )
(also, how is she holding a sword and a bow and arrow? )
(Ok... and her sword is sheathed by her side, she had placed her bow on the ground.)
Elena dodged to the side, eyes narrowing. Kayla could sense the magic. It made sense, though, since the spell was a darkness charm. A daughter of Apollo wouldn't like one of those.
She sliced toward Kayla's side with her left dagger.
She sliced toward Kayla's side with her left dagger.
Kayla hissed as Elena drew a few drops of blood. Summoning some of her golden healing glow, she closed the wound and slashed wildly at her. Her ebony sword clanged on Elena's dagger, the sound of screeching metal vibrating in the air. Increasing her strength, she pushed forcefully towards Elena, forcing her sword towards her arm.
Elena locked her dagger, swiping with the other one to break the contact. She slammed her right hilt toward Elena's shoulder, bringing the other one toward her side.
Kayla grimaced but used her legs to kick the daggers surrounding her away. Her vision was starting to swim with the pain but she brushed that away firmly. Grabbing her bow again, she shot accurately, deflecting Elena's incoming daggers.
(Oh yeah... let's just make it as Kayla failed to kick her daggers away)
Elena ducked, the arrow grazing her arm. She slashed at Kayla's leg, the darkness charm on her ankle sliding up to her wrist. She flicked her arm, and it exploded at her feet, surrounding them both in inky blackness.
Kayla blinked in surprise, her mind whirling. "Elena?" She called out and summoned a small ball of light.
Elena closed the Mist around her, making it seem like she wasn't there. Invisible, other than her movement. She moved to the side quietly, and struck at Kayla's abdomen.
Kayla caught sight of a movement and a sickening pain against her abdomen. Whirling around wildly, she had the discreet feeling that she was floating. Shrugging, she reached for her arrows impulsively, squinting in the darkness and let the arrow fly randomly, all the while trusting her instinct.
Elena slashed the arrow out of the way, setting it on fire with the immediate touch. Smart.
Seeing the fire, she pinpointed Elena's location and slashed her sword wildly at that direction. She didn't know whether any one of them made contact with her opponent but she didn't stop.
Elena dodged the first few attacks, then blocked the next two with her daggers, becoming slightly more visible. Though it was still hard to see through the darkness.
Based on the sound of metal clanging on metal, Kayla predicted her rough location and kept raining blows towards that direction.
Elena gathered a tendril of darkness and lashed it at Kayla's wrist like a whip.
Kayla felt a pull and used her sword to slash at whatever that was pulling her. Light opposes darkness. She thought as she channeled a soft warm glow towards the pull. She could feel it easing and she applied more power.
Elena hissed, but her dark blue eyes flicked to Kayla, who was focused more on the darkness than she was on Elena. She swiped at her shoulder with the other dagger.
Kayla let out a muffled cry. She purged the flow of her blood instantly and slammed the hilt of her sword against Elena's faint silhouette.
Elena growled, twisting but not managing to completely avoid the blow. Her shoulder was probably bruising already, but she ignored it, focusing the Mist around herself again. This time, she projected it so that she appeared to be a few feet away from where she really was, invisible.
Kayla squinted, her mind grasping the fact that Elena indeed didn't look, well, real. Dismissing the thought, she lunged towards Elena's image, only to stumble. Damn, the Mist. She cursed inwardly and stepped backwards, thinking silently.
Elena stalked to Kayla's side, creating another two images on either side. Her power was starting to tire, the edges of the darkness starting to fray.
Kayla groaned. "The downsides of fighting with a child of Hecate." She muttered and analysed the situation. Two more images beside her, nearing the fraying edges. She eliminated them as merely a distraction. Focusing ahead on the two shimmering figures, she tried to lunge at the one nearer and shook her head. That was another image. The figure merely swayed and did nothing to defend herself. So, that means....Hurling her sword with intense accuracy, she released her sword, aiming at the real Elena's thighs.
hmm nel takes out her sword of iron and says ''anyone who challenges me''
Izzy comes in here. She gets out her daggers and launches herself at the dummies, carving them up.
Tears were streaming down her face. You always mess up everything. You’re a failure who will never be loved. Your fiancé comes back and you already have him angry!
When she’s practically destroyed them, she flies off to the Zeus cabin.
