Something bright and fast zoomed across the sky, turned in a wide arc, and tackled Starlight, pulling her mercilessly towards the snow below. "No backup for you!" Sol growled and released her friend, attempting to slow down, but still crashing into the white mess, not stopping until she was a body-length below the surface. With some effort, she dug her head above and gasped for some air, looking for where the other crashed. "I must commend you for finally having your thoughts blocked. Only too bad we decided to retire!" Sol trolled.

"Mom, I don't want a personal trainer or whatever! I just want to practice magic and learn some fighting moves like a normal kid!" cried Ciro, hackles raising in anger. "Why is that such a big deal? You don't care if Risi and Tea get into fights or practice magic with other kids. It isn't fair!" Was making this huge embarrassing ordeal part of his mother's plan to keep him from fighting? If so, then it was working. Why, why wasn't he allowed to learn to defend himself? Ciro realized then that while he'd been feigning disdain for combat as a way of differentiating himself from his siblings, everyone else had merely been assuming that he wasn't up to it, that he was too weak to fight. Shame and outrage washed over him like waves of boiling, freezing water. So that's how it was, was it? Well then, he'd be damned if he'd let anybody train him now. He was going to prove that he was capable of fighting just fine already, he didn't need some boot-camp drill sergeant to "toughen him up". Contempt replaced his frothing temper, clearing his mind. He knew of someone who could help him, someone who could let him test his limits without making a public mockery of himself. The only problem was, he had no idea where they might be. "Let's just go to the history place, alright? You win." he said sullenly, curling up in a ball, seemingly defeated.
At the sound of the bell, Vorun began to circle Leaf, gauging the young fighter's movements carefully. When it seemed like the right time to strike, he snaked forward, batting at his opponent's upper body with a powerful swipe of his claws, hoping to land a good first strike before the other dragon had a chance to retaliate.

"I don't care?" Phoenicia stopped mid air, her voice dangerously high. "did you pay any attention at all? Lantea spent 2 years training her magic every day with her grandmother, and Taranis is fighting... Well, since he broke out of his egg!" she went on, "What my problem is, that life is not a game, there's no restart. Tell you what, you're gonna learn a 'few' moves here, and then you gonna do what? Try and stand to fight big brother? I'll end up melding your bones back together, just look at how Lantea always winds up." She reached out and grabbed ciro, holding him in front of her. "I'm simply afraid for you, little guy. If it were up to me, none of you would be fighting ever. I thought you of all others would understand."

leaf side stepped voruns first attack and stuck his tail out to trip him. once he had fell leaf snuck in a good blow on his leg before he could recover.
-----
sapphire held her breath once the bell went off and let it out once she saw that he was still alright.
---------
luna settled down just as the fight started. naturally being one of the main people to help put the games together she got a front seat. the bell clattered and the young emerald dragon sidestepped the dark dragons attack and snuck in a good blow. he was good at calculations in fighting.

Vorun had already gotten out of range by the time the earth dragon's tail swung at him, and he circled again while he watched his opponent's moves. He wasn't one to blunder into an attack, not at his age, and though the young dragon was swift, it would take more than that to catch him unawares. "Think fast." said the dark dragon, diving into the shadows only to reappear instantly behind his opponent, striking at him with a powerful sweep of his tail, aiming to knock him over.

leaf jumped and turned sweeping his tail to hit vorun and then swiped at him with his claws. Whenever he was done hitting he would arch electricity through his body just enough to stun if he got hit and undetectable to anyone but an energy dragon.

Starlight jumped out of the snow from Sol's left and dived for her head. "Guess the young ones can finally call me a VETRAIN." she whoop as she swept a fistfull of the powdered snow at the other dragons head before leaping back into the white mass, disapearing. Ooc: duuuh-dun, duuuuh-dun, duh-dun-duh-dun-duh-dun-duh-dun...  |

Thoron heard the fight already happening so he left Scourge with his dragon and took off so he wouldn't miss more then what he already had. When he got there he was already seeing the dragons taking swings at one another. The giant dragon quickly landed then jumped up while boosting himself with his wings and landed calmly on one of the arena's southern support columns. As he steadied himself on the pillar, he looked down at the fight where he could see it perfectly.
Scourge looked at the tattooed dragon and snickered, "I am god of my realm and lord over it's very deteriorating existence. My lord Thoron was not born there, he was born on this world so don't get confused of him being of our awesome demonic family!" Scourge suddenly saw Thoron take flight and hurry to the arena when cheers could be heard within it's walls. The demon would follow just his dragon was struggling with it's now weakened mortal form so he decided to stay for good safety reasons and talk to the demon prince until he got things cleared up. "It's an honor to know that a royal blood like yourself can be trusted here in my presence! I was going to... train, my dear child here to be in the arena just he isn't familiar with the mortal code yet!" Spoke the demon god as he swung his hand out shooting out a barbed chain where it wrapped around the summoned dragon's neck and tugged hard at it making the dragon walk to the two in ignorant agony. The reconstructed dragon tried to ignore the pain but when it comes to having mortal weakness it grunted painfully when he walked up to the two. "See he is already knowing what pain feels like!" ruefully spoke Scourge as he looked back at Iskander with an evil grin.

Seeing the energy dragon's attack coming, Vorun braced his arms against the attack, only to be shot through by a jolt of electricity. Momentarily stunned, he fell to the ground, trying to regain his balance.
Ciro writhed free of his mother's grip, aided by a bubble shield he used to pry her hands away from him. Free, he hovered in front of her, flapping intermittently. His eyes were cast downwards, unable to hide the stab of guilt her words had caused him. "I'm not gonna fight Risi, ma. I just wanna know how to fight if I ever need to defend myself. I don't want to be the one that needs protecting." he mumbled ineffectually, made uneasy by the heartfelt lecture. He didn't want a trainer: what he needed was experience. Why was that so unreasonable?
"Royalty? No-- you are mistaken." said Iskander nervously, disturbed. Had it really been that obvious? While it would be a stretch to call his family royalty, they had certainly been favored by fate. The slayer's odd acuity stunned him, until he realized that a demon as ancient as he would probably have recognized his father's name, as one of the older and more powerful ifrits of the avaritian circle. Relieved, he examined the elaborate summoned dragon approvingly. "He is certain to strike fear into the opposition." he said, unsure of what the god-king wanted him to say. Already he was formulating an excuse in case the demon king asked him to help train his pet monstrosity. There was no way he was going up against that. He now wished he'd accompanied Gorn and his family to the arena when he'd had the chance...

leaf saw is chance and brought both forelegs down on vorun to knock the air out of him then would follow up with a slash to the back leg. once he had done this he would then try to get a swipe in with his tail and retreat far enough that he would be out of the distance of this dragons tail.
----
tukali looked through the protective shield and watched the young dragon leaf fight. he had a surprising amount of experience in him but how had he stunned vorun so badly? that had been a solid block! he hoped that he wouldn't have to fight this young one. youth and experience where a dangerous combination.
------
luna saw the dark dragon land above her on one of the support beams but wasn't freaked out like most the others siting around her for she could see that this dragon had no malicious thoughts at this time and was not bothered.
-----
sapphire was ecstatic so far leaf hadn't sustained a single hit or blow. and she knew exactly how he had stunned that dragon, the little but head was actually using his head.

Regaining his footing, Vorun dropped into the shadow cast by the incoming dragon just before he brought his front paws down, slipping into the shadow nexus. Before the young dragon could reorganize himself, Vorun reached out of the darkness beneath his feet and made a grab for Leaf's hind leg, aiming to pin him to the ground by dragging him knee-deep into the sandy floor of the arena.

leaf was dragged down into the sand. "no this cant happen" he thought to himself as he struggled to try and get out. "okay stop and think leaf" he thought in his head,"your part earth dragon you can do this." and he tried to delve into the magic that so rarely worked for him.

Claws at the ready, Vorun burst from the shadows, the momentum from his nexus-assisted jump propelling him with enough force to throw the young dragon to the ground. If he could just subdue him for a few seconds, the match would end then and there, and a victor would be declared.

right when vorun was a hair away from leaf the ground exploded around leaf and chunks of earth went all over the arena some being deflected by the protective barrier. dust filled the air and leaf saw his chance he could see vorun had gotten blown over from the blast and he pounced his aim to keep vorun down long enough to seal voruns arms and tail in earth.

((In the future, try not to autohit. XD))
While bruised and battered from the blast, Vorun was able to roll to his feet swiftly, coughing. He was rather shocked that the earth dragon would use such a volatile move in a mere competition; it was only a game. Soon, Leaf's dark shape came charging from the dust cloud that had settled over the arena. Vorun had just enough time to roll on his back and kick upwards with his hind legs as the earth dragon's form went sailing overhead, trailing dust.
