(This particular concept is actually new to me. I'm surprised that I've never been somewhere else which used it.)
Raiden sat on the dirt ground, fiddling around with some marbles in his hand. It suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't gotten much battle experience lately. While this could be construed as a good thing, it probably wasn't wise to let his skills atrophy. He stood up and stretched for a second. Then: "HEY! Does anyone want to have a quick bout? I promise you won't die or anything." He removed his wooden sword and twirled it around in his right hand for emphasis of its tree-based property.

Adara approached Raiden. She hadn't gotten much practice in unarmed combat lately, and this might be a good chance to refresh her skills against an enemy that *was* armed. "I'll take that offer."

"Hmm...alright, let's do this." Raiden noted her unarmed-ness, and felt a little uneasy. He gave it some consideration, and then threw his sword high into the air, aided by a burst of wind, so that it disappeared out of sight. He then lunged forward with a right hook towards the face.

Adara had been expecting something like that, and twisted, throwing a punch of her own. She grinned slightly.

The counterattack didn't exactly catch Raiden off guard, but he lacked the reflexes to actually dodge it. It caught him on the jaw and sent him spinning, but he recovered with a quick flip and landed on his feet gracefully. He moved forward and appeared to launch a punch at Adara's midsection, but his movement slowed drastically before impact.

Adara slammed an arm down at Raiden's in a motion to stop the punch. With her other arm she threw another punch.

Raiden's motion had slowed to the point that his punch never even connected with Adore's arm. However, Adore's punch was also slowed down before reaching Raiden by a wind pressure shield he'd conjured between them. The sword suddenly landed, and Raiden grasped it with his right hand before spinning it around while rotating back a step to assuming a threatening pose with his sword arm out.

Adara pulled her arm back instinctively at the sudden resistance. "Right, magus, I forgot." She grinned a bit, considering her next move and wondering if that wind shield went all the way to the ground.

"Don't I know it!" Raiden grinned sheepishly, then assumed a more serious face. He walked in a circle while twirling his sword. A small flame at the end of his sword formed loops, and when a loop was completed, it rose up and formed a fireball, which launched at Adara. At first, the fireballs only got somewhat close and dissipated, but as Raiden walked in circles closer and closer, they began to fire in range.

"Interesting. Still..."Adara turned steadily, watching Raiden, waiting and edging closer. As soon as she was in range, she struck, whirling, thick tail swinging in a quick try to knock him down. "Sometimes other abilities work just as well."

"Alright then..." Raiden continued spinning the sword, dodging Adara's tail strikes seemingly by accident. The loop ceased to create fireballs, and instead began coiling around into a whip of fire. Tendrils of fire moved in the way of Adara's tail swings.

Adara finished her turn, facing him and pulling her tail out of the way. Hm. I don't know if I can get close enough to punch, and he has that wind shield *and* the fire. Damn. She circled, staying out of range of his fire, considering. Now how could she get close enough...

Suddenly, the fire which had been coiling along overextended and latched onto Raiden's wind shield, temporarily setting his surroundings on fire. Luckily, he had been smart enough to distance the shield from himself slightly, but it took him a few seconds to cool things down.

Adara jerked backwards a little in surprise as the fire caught. She'd been taught never to lose an advantage, though, and as soon as she saw the fire out, she pounced with one punch at Raiden's stomach and an uppercut to his chin. Maybe this time I can actually hit him.

The punch to Raiden's stomach was delivered with perfect accuracy, but he stumbled quickly and the uppercut missed entirely. He held his stomach for a second, and then stood upright. "Well, that was an impressive sock. I guess fire isn't my element..." Luckily, he was still pretty close to Adara. He focused for a second, and then the soft crackle of lightning was heard behind her before a beam of it shot out in a straight line towards Raiden.
