Ya!
----
Sheart entered the arena, the sun and cloudless sky looking down on him. It was the perfect day for a match. He wasn't much for fighting senselessly, but this wasnt sensless. He needed the money to buy a new trinket he'd seen in a curio shop.

As Sendoran walked into the arena, one of the supervisors told him that no pets were allowed during fights. "Oh very well."He said." Bunny, why dont you go sit near that very pretty lady up there." Today was a day where Bunnys second personality ws dominant. " Yes, very well.. Ill just go and waste my life watching a shrivelled prune duke it out with a kid. This will be one of the greatest wastes of my life yet."
Sendoran walked towards Sheart and held out his hand. "May the best man win. Oh, and do take it easy on me. I am an old man after all."

Sheart smiled. "I wont underestimate you, sir." He said, shaking the old man's hand. "I need the money, so it really will be the best man who wins."
Sheart moved back and drew his sword, lifting his shield, too.
And then the trumpet sounded.

" I hope you have a good sense of hearing and smelling" Sendoran said smugly. He immediatly began casting some magic: "Praeumbro caliginosus!!(latin for Obscuring Mist)" Then, within a few minutes a mist enveloped the arena. Unfortuantly, Sendoran wasnt a dog, so he was just as blind as Sheart. He then decided that it would be best to attack Sheart by casting a horizontal chain of small fire arrows, hoping one of them connects. "Sagitta Flamma!!!" And Sendoran just hoped they would hit

Sheart heard the arrows whizing through the air and raised his shield, blocking the ones that would hit him. One barely missed his shoulder, cutting the cloth. "Damnit, that was close..." Sheart smiled. Just because he was a merchant didn't mean he was helpless. He pulled a slip of paper out of his bag and bit his finger, letting some of the blood roll onto it. "Eyes of Eventide!" His eyes became purple as he saw clearly through the fog two colors: Gray for that wich didnt live and Red for that wich did. He could also see a faint outline of all the surroundings, the shapes of things. Sheart brandished his sword and ran towards the unmistakable red figure, slicing horizontally, hoping to catch the old man off guard.

The attack certtainly did take him off guard. Even though Sendoran jumped out of the way he suffered two things: he received a big gash across his chest, and his back started aching because of the speed he jumped back. Now bleeding profusly, he decided that his best chance would be to use a potion. He reached into his bag and pulled out a green potion and drank it. Immediatly the cut began to clot up. Sendoran then reached for a pill, (which he takes daily) and used it to relieve his back. However he realized that Sheart was no mere novice.
Now ready to attack he cast his fire arrows again but this time aimed at his legs hoping sheart would jump due to the range between them. Then, in case Sheart did jump, he cast another spell "Commoratio flamen incendiaries globus" (Delayed Fireball) that way while Sheart was in midair, he would release the spell.

Sheart did jump and was by the fireball. Because he was in the air, the pressure of it around him didnt allow him to bring his shield up in time and he was hit in the chest with the ball of doom. He was able to land on his feet, but he kneeled down. He'd said that he wasnt going to underestimate the old man, but he had. Now he knew better. Sheart pulled another slip from his bag. He wished he had time to use his special ointment, but it took some time to apply, despite its nothing-less-then-miraculous effects. He plaed the slip on his chest, immediately feeling a soothing going through it. Sheart pulled a small knife from under his shirt. It wasn't an ordinary knife, oh no. He'd claimed it from the body of a rogue Illusionist, after completing a quest from the mayor of a village. The knife glowed and sprang to life as it appeared to float in mid-air. Holding it was now a clone of himself, and the dagger turned into replicas of his own shield and sword.
Him and his clone raced across the field, swiping from one side each. Both would hurt equally, but only one would be hurt by an attack.

Sheart already knew what to do before the two Shearts began charging. "Manifestus veneficium!!"(Be able to see the magic inside someone)" He was then able to tell that the Sheart on his right was the clone. And based off his knowledge of clones, he knew that one hit was enough to destroy a clone. But Sendoran wasnt reckless, he needed time to think. "Murus ferrarius!!(Wall of iron) in two seconds he was completly surrounded by iron and was able to think in peace...

The two attacks hit the wall to no avail. They immediately jumped back to a far distance. The real Sheart wished he could use another spell, but at the moment the single clone was enough for him to handle to stop him from using any other techiniques involving magic. Sheart began to think. He took the time to also apply the ointment. He readied himself and waited.

Sendoran then had an excellent idea. "Adumbro eliciolicitum!"(lets him clone himself) "Invisus!" The real Sendoran then became invisible His last spell was "Commoratio flamen incendiaries globus"He was worried that Sheart would hear but then he remembered that no sounds enter his wall, and no sounds leave. He then dispelled the wall and the fake Sendoran cast 12 flamming arrows

Sheart and his clone both put up their shields, leaving now blank spots, so no matter how many arros were shot, unless they were made out of some piercing material, he wouldnt be hurt. Sheart quickly crushed the arrows and the flames out and moved forward. Him and his clone both selected one of Sendoran's clones and slashed.

However, Sendoran, had anticipated this. As the clone was dispelled, the real Sendoran quitly snuck up to Sheart. And at point-blank range and said:"game over kiddo" and released his delayed fireball.

Sheart was blasted against the wall of the arena, the burning in his chest equalling the pain in his back. He smiled as he realized he couldnt move. "Yeah... You win."
