Az stood upon a wooden pillar sticking out of the water. There were many of these wooden pillars scattered about, sticking out of the water, and part of them on the beach. They were a good 6-7 feet above the ground, since the tide was out, and making them appear higher. Az observed the ground below him on low tide, seeing that it was an old rotten broken down dock. He saw soggy, rotten planks of wooden scattered about the ground, each one having a past.

But who cares about the past? Az was in the present, and moving along the pillars, jumping from one to the other, getting a good workout. They were only spaced about 5 feet apart from each other, and stretched all the way out about 100 feet into the ocean. And out that far was the last of the dock, a long 50 foot dock still intact. He didn't go on it, since he stayed along the pillars. He flipped across some, jumped from one to the other and letting off a spinning kick, and landing on two others, his feet spread across both. It was a huge low stretch for his legs, but he was flexible and had good balance with plenty of training. There, as he stood in a stance, he threw out punches, blocks, strikes, and sometimes flipped onto the same one.

He then ran on them back to shore, flipping across five of them without using his hands, and landing on the last one in a handstand, and remained there for a while, catching his breath. He flipped back upright, and went back out about halfway. He stood across two and slowed down his movements to slow movements, and practiced using his balance and breathing from then on. His legs ached a little bit, but he pushed through that easily.

It was getting close to sunset and the end of the day, the sun's light beginning its dying golden glare, the last of its heat coming in and dying out. Seagulls chirped as they flew about, ducks swam around pillars still suberged partially in the water, and kids were having their last few minutes of fun before they had to go home. They laughed, giggled, yelled at each other, splashed in the water, trying to wear themselves out. It made Az smile, since kids were so funny to him. But he kept to himself and his workout, silently wishing he had someone to fight at the moment...

Kenyari was laying on the beach during the day laying in the sun. Things have not been the same since he has returned from his secluded training. Things have changed within the world and his old friends had either turned on him or had died while he was gone. The were very few he could really call a friend during these times. Kenyari looked out as he saw a bunch of children playing along the shore of the beach. Kenyari stayed laying down under a tree just taking in the calmness of the day.

Kenyari kept his eyes on the people playing at the beach as he slowly drifted off into sleep. When he awoke it was near dark and he knew he should be getting a move on because he was still after his brother Azreal, in which he was aiming to kill. Kenyari stood up and put devastation and his new heavy blade which he called agony. He took in a deep breath of the cool crisp air of the beach as he started walking off. He walked down to the shore line when he saw a small figure on top of the pillars sticking out of the ocean. Kenyari quickly jumped up on the nearest one and ran on top of them in the direction of which the figure was.

When kenyari came of distance he stopped abruptly trying to recognize who the person was. He couldn’t make out the person but from what he was doing he seemed pretty well trained. Kenyari smirked as he thought of starting a little fight with the figure. Kenyari is normally a person who tries to keep to his own but he has been highly blood thirsty for a fight ever since he got back. Kenyari leaped forward until roughly 15 or so pillars stood between him and the figure.

“Bone missile” he said in a small whisper tone as four green skulls started encircling his left arm. He watched the figure as he seemed not to notice kenyari standing there. Kenyari through the skulls at four adjacent pillars around the man completely destroying them with ease. The rocks cause a huge splash and kenyari was sure that caught the attention of the man enough to try to start something. Kenyari smirked as he awaited for the next move of the figure. He put one hand on his sword devastation as he waited.

Az suddenly felt one of the pillars shatter beneath his foot, and quickly regained balance on the other one. At the same time he heard the ones around him also blow up and begone. He stood upon his single pillar, 10 feet gaping between him and next pillar. And beyond that next pillar was a new foe, the source of the spell. He stood there, finally noticing him, sizing him up, ready to fight him.

He saw that he had a huge sword, and it looked lethal. He knew he only had a dagger, and had to watch what he did, or his head might be off. He didn't know what to expect with it, but he knew he would have to take his chances if he wanted to get back to shore with his head. He could tell he was out for a fight, and he nodded to him, as if saying, "Thanks. I needed this."

He leapt off of the pillar he was on and to the next one. He saw that his new opponent was still about 13 pillars away, so he sprinted with his demonic speed across the pillars to him. He approached with two to go and leapt into the air, heading to Ken with a flying kick, well aimed at his head. He kept silent, since a silent warrior strikes best. He didn't know if it was going to strike or not, but he planned his land ahead of time on the pillar right next to it or behind, depending on if he hit or not.

Kenyari saw the figure coming toward him aiming a kick towards his face. Kenyari smirked as he watched the distance between them close rapidly. “Teleport” he said in a low town as he teleported to the pillar in which this man had came from. He watched as he landed on the other pillar due to his miss. “This will be fun huh” he said as he prepared to attack. “Tell me. What is your name. I like to know the person that im fighting.” he said in a low calm tone. He didn’t even give the man time to answer before he went on the attack.

Kenyari leaped towards the man as he unsheathed his favorite sword devastation. I will show you the power that has been used to destroy countless lives in the past. “Thunder blade” he said as a lightning bolt fell from the sky striking his sword sending an electric surge through his sword making his sword glow a very bright blue. Kenyari was fighting calmly for now because he knew where fighting with his anger got him last time. Kenyari jumped into the air toward the back of the man as he started to bring his sword down heavily aiming to completely dismantle this man and destroy the pillar at the same time. “This will be quick” he yelled out as he eased in closer to the man with his sword aiming right at the top of the mans head.

He saw his attack hit air, and landed on the pillar behind. He knelt on it a bit, and stood up. He listened to what his opponent was saying, but kept quiet. Maybe when I don't have an attack coming at me. He thought to himself as he turned around just in time to see his blade become charged with energy. This was going to be a different battle to Az, but something he was trained for. It was still a blade, just lethal if made contact. It was no different even if it was just a sword.

Az watched as Ken came down up his head with the blade and stood there a moment, waiting for the right opportunity to move. Time slowed down for him, as he saw every movement made, heard every thing, and smelled it too. He then quickly jumped to the pillar in front of him, and jumped back when Ken came down upon the pillar, this time aiming another kick to him, maybe to knock him out of the way. Who knew, but he was about ready to show Ken that he wasn't just going to stand there, even if he just came back from a long time of training. Az trained his whole life for something like this. If not, worse.

Kenyari’s sword smashed heavily into the pillar completely destroying it. As the rocks were falling kenyari propelled himself off of one of them towards the nearest pillar only to see that Az had launched another attack. Kenyari quickly used his sword to block it. Kenyari then jumped back leaving a one pillar gap between them. Kenyari almost lost his footing but quickly regained it before it cost him everything.

Kenyari could do nothing but smile at the man. “So a sword fighter you are not huh!? Then how about we even the odds a little bit more.” he said sheathing his sword. Kenyari readied himself as he was preparing to attack. He knew that the only real thing they could do to each other is kick because the pillars were too small to have two people stand on but that there would be something. Kenyari quickly scoped the area noticing that there was an old dock down below.

Kenyari smirked as he looked back at az. “Bone missile” he said again as four more skulls surrounded his arm. Kenyari made these skulls weaker than the other ones so that he could conserve his energy for the upcoming brawl. He then quickly jumped back firing a skull in the direction of az. “Lets take this fight to the dock where we can do some real fighting” he said as he free falled from the pillar to the dock. It wasn’t a very long distance but it was long enough that if u were inexperienced you would more than likely hurt something on yourself. Kenyari hit the dock with a loud thud and prepared himself for what was coming next.

Az backflipped off of Kenyari's sword and back onto the pillar behind him. He still kept quiet as Ken talked, not wanting to really speak to him. He could have cared less if he kept the sword or not. He liked a good challenge every so often, and he like proving to himself and everyone that he could fight open handed against a sword. But a brawl was always good. Maybe if he grew fond of the fighter soon he'll speak up a little bit with taunts...

He watched as he fell to the dock, and followed as soon as the bone missle was launched. He front flipped off of the pillar, over the missile, and down onto the dock. He landed a few yards from Ken, so he rolled towards him, absorbing some of the shock from the fall, and ending the roll in a two footed kick towards Ken's gut as he came out of it. The force of it lifted him off the ground, so he would be on his feet with no time and energy wasted.

Kenyar saw the small roll that Az was doing and he jumped back trying not to get hit but the kick still caught him slightly. Kenyari hit the ground and rolled backwards coming up to his feet as they were now a few steps apart from each other. Kenyari noticed that he wasn’t the real talking one so he decided to let words go for now and show him action more than words.

Kenyari reached out his hand as he mumbled out small words. “Summon lesser shadow” he said in a very low voice. His hand soon became covered in a dark black mist. He then opened his hand and a black snake like think slowly took form from the black mist. Kenyari also heard a loud roar from the distance as he now knew Uzziah was aware of his fight. “Looks like my lupine is coming.” he said in a hush town as he quickly motioned the shadow figure to attack az towards the face. As the shadow moved in to strike kenyari jumped into the air preparing a downward kick right for the chest of az. Kenyari has been trying to stay offensive throught this entire fight and he planned on keeping it that way.

Az stood in a still fighting stance, watching Ken with a hard stare in his pure black demon eyes. He watched as he summoned a lesser shadow, and heard a roar simultaneously. He smirked. "Can't back up your own fighting skills?" He said in a cold stoic voice. Just a small taunt, as he was reassured by his own senses that the lupine wasn't going to attack, and it was just the lesser shadow and Ken.

He watched at Ken jumped up and the shadow came straight at his face. He gave out a quick snap kick at the shadow snake, and followed up with a quick spin and a spinning heel kick aimed upwards at Ken's descending kick to meet it in mid air. Az himself was trying to get to the offensive, but a lot of times his best offensive was defense, and a lot of the times he waited for his opponent to strike first.

Kenyari saw the heel kick coming to meet his already in motion kick. Kenyari then positioned his body so that the heel kick would hit him. Just as he planed the kick hit him but had done nothing but spun his body and kenyari did a quick three sixty degree turn bringing his other foot out for a spinning kick aimed right at the face. The three bone missiles left was still encircling kenyari as he was letting off his attack. Kenyrari then quickly spun himself around again and tried to bring his leg down for a heavy leg drop followed by firing the three remaining bone missiles towards the chest of Az. Kenyari knew that the missiles did not have that much energy behind them therefore if they even connected they wouldn’t be enough to end this fight here.

Az felt his attack make contact with Ken, but it had recoil with it. Since he was still in the air, the force of the impact slammed his down foot onto the deck, and made him loose his balance. He staggered back, putting both legs down, and felt a kick nail him in the head. He flew off to the side, and slammed into the dock, almost falling off the edge as he slid a few feet. Not enough to end his fight here, he jumped back up to his feet as it he just tripped, and put up his guard against the rest of the bone missiles. He punched each one, each one shattering against his fists, leaving behind a green grainy mist. But not without toll. His hands hurt like mad now, the throbbing pain almost unbearable. His adrenaline kicked in hard over time, the pain slightly going away, but it was going to be a while before he could use his hands again in the fight.

He then broke through the green mist and leaped at Ken. He threw a swift roundhouse kick to his face, and following up with a spinning back kick, also aimed at Ken's face. A great fight it was already, but Az wasn't ready to give up yet.

Kenyari smiled as he saw az punch the missiles away. Kenyari then closed his eyes as he tried to wipe the sweat from his face and move his long hair out of the way. When he reopened them Az had mad his move. He was now in the air in front of kenyari aiming a kick towards his face. Kenyari took one step backwards feeling the wind from the kick rushing by as he barely dodged the attack. He stuttered backwards off balence as az threw another kick towards the face. Kenyari was too far off balance to try to dodge the swift attack. He quickly threw his hand up to block it but the attack was packed full of force enough to knock him over and make him roll a few feet.

Kenyari grabbed his arm as it was now in pain but he was sed to feeling pain like this. Kenyari stood up as his eyes changed from a light blue to a dark brown. His eyes change colors based on the emotions he is undergoing. The lighter his eyes the more pleasant state and the darker the color the angrier he got. That was a sign that kenyari was starting to become rather angry and if this kept up he would lose his temper very soon.

Kenyari walked to steps towards az as he looked down at the injured hands of az. Kenyari knew they would not cause too much of a problem anymore since they are wounded but he wasn’t going to let his guard down now. Kenyari was ready to really let this fight heat up. "Ashen fire" he called out as a low roll of thunder sounded off high in the sky. The sky around them suddenly turned a dark red color as huge chunks of fire and rock fell swiftly to the earth. The rooks smashed hard against the dock, knocking chunks out of it. If the ashen fire kept up the dock will be no more within a matter of seconds.

Kenyari then took in a deep breath and charged at az. He dodged a few bits of rock as he gumped into the air. "Crimson lightning" he called out as he pointed directly for the chest of az. Kenyari didn’t put his full into the blast as he tried to save his energy. He put enough in it to injury him more but not kill him. Kenyari looked directly behind Az as he noticed his shadow was coming for an attack from the back of the unsuspecting az. Kenyari was really trying to show az he is not a force to be reckoned with.

Az was out for the same thing. When Ken started using magic to send flaming rocks down to the earth, Az smiled and knew he could use those to his own personal advantage. He saw that the rocks were destroying the dock, and so he jumped quickly onto a part of the dock where he knew a pillar was supporting it. There he knew that he wouldn't fall unless the pillar was destroyed. He saw a flaming rock coming down just in front of him, and timed a kick just right so that he set the rock flying towards Kenyari. His demon strength helped him a lot, as the pain in his hands soon died away. Either that or he just didn't notice it. Now Az would start taunting. "What? Can't fight hand to hand? Gotta stand twenty feet away and hide behind magic?" He kicked three more medium sized stones Ken's way at full speed, just seeing what he was to do.

He then stood there, waiting for a few more chances of rocks to come down upon him and kick them to Ken. That moment was interrupted though when Ken shot a bolt of crimson lightning. He had no clue what the rocks did, but the bolt was Az's next worry as Ken came crashing down. Az had moved his attention to Ken now, and not rocks, and was hit with one on the shoulder, and hard. It knocked him to a knee, flipping his back to Ken, and soon he was struck with the crimson bolt. Az felt the heat and the shock go through his body, and he was soon crippled to the dock for a moment. He fought the urge to scream, showing he had strength.

When the blast was over, he took what little strength he had and rolled to the side, laying on his back out of Ken's way. He panted hard, his adrenaline pumping like mad through his body. He opened his black eyes to see another huge flaming boulder coming down upon him. He stuck up his feet, and caught the boulder on his feet. He felt his body crush under its force and crack the dock under him. He took a quick glance as to where Ken was, and shoved the boulder his way. With that distraction in motion, he took a moment to catch his breath and get in his happy place...

The words of az fell apon deaf ears as kenyari was too engulfed in making az hurt rather than actually sparring. The mood of kenyari changed. At first he wanted a simple sparring partner but now he soon saw this as a chance to add another victim to his list that he tortured. He wanted az to squirm under his own agony. Kenyari has done it many times in the past and he has become quite good at it.

Kenyari fell to the dock wit a loud thud as he landed on his feet. He had noticed that az had sent some of the rocks flying towards him. He quickly unsheathed devastation, his favorite sword, as he hacked the rocks down. He took an upward slash splitting one of the rocks in half as he laughed loudly. He was too busy having fun that he missed the medium sized rock that smashed into the side of kenyari’s face knocking him down with tremendous force. The rock cut him deep and blood gushed from the wound it had created. The blood ran down his cheek and onto his neck were it started to stain the side of his shirt. Kenyari eyes turn blood red with anger as he looked into the sky stopping the ashen fire. The last few chunks of molten rock crashed into the dock destroying over half of the dock in its course of action.

Kenyari staggered to his feet holding devastation with one hand and his face in the other. “You bastard” he yelled out in a rage as he sheathed devastation. “touch of death” he whispered to himself smiling as his finger started to glow a bright red color. “I am going to kill you for this” he called out to him as he quickly rushed over to where the body of az lay. Kenyari stood over him as more blood came out of his face. “Look what you did to me. Look!!” he yelled as he touched the forehead of az with the finger that was glowing bright red. “You are going to die here and now, and before you go you are going to heal my wound” he said as he kept the finger that was imbued with the spell pressed against az’s forehead.

Az never knew if the rocks hit Ken or not, but he did find out when he walked over to him. He opened his eyes, still panting slightly, and saw that his attack his square in the face. He listened to Ken's words, and laughed a little. "Serves you right." He said simply, grinning sinisterly.

Then he felt something touch his forehead, and soon screaming white hot pain throughout his whole body. He still fought the urge to scream, squeezing his eyes shut and clenching his teeth. He grabbed Ken's arm suddenly, every move was a jerk with the last bit of strength he had left. He twisted Ken's arm madly, and snatched his dagger from its sheath, and jabbed out quickly at Ken's ribs. He felt his consciousness waver, and he stopped feeling everything. He never felt the impact of his knife striking anything, the white hot pain just disappeared, though he knew it was still there.

His demon side was screaming at him. It was screaming to keep up, stab the guy, rip him apart, punch the lights out of him, everything Az had ever done to anyone else. His demon wanted to show that fists beat all when it came down to nothing. He hoped he could get through this fine, hunt down Ken later on, and serve round 2.

Kenyari felt the small dagger jab him in the ribs but it did little to nothing seeing as the life force energy from Az was being forced into kenyari. Kenyari felt the very life from az slipping out as he smiled greatly as blood leaked from the side of his face.

"You will pay for what you did to me. And you will pay me with your life" kenyari called out in a loud demonic voice. Kenyari grabbed his sword as he trusted downwards many times to the body not really feeling it go in or completely missing. Kenyari was in a small blind rage and could feel nothing but the health returning to him fast numbing his entire body as he continued to laugh demonically trusting downwards 5 more times. Kenyari was right over Az but because he was in a rage it was hard to tell if the hits was connecting with him or the wood underneath him.

Kenyari quickly jumped off letting out a loud scream. He was not screaming from pain. It was a scream purely from the beast inside of him. When kenyari got up the spell had stopped so it gave Az a small chance to try to gain a second wind. "Get up and fight me" he wailed out in a demonic voice as his current self was completely taken over by a demonic force. "Come meet your death here and now" he yelled as he held devastation up ready for combat. The small gash on his face seemed to have no longer be leaking blood.

Kenyari breathed heavily as the demon inside if him took over more and more. He pointed his sword at the body of az and awaited the actions from the fallen man.

Az maintained a hard concentration as his life force was being stolen from him. He pulled out his dagger as soon as Ken began raising his sword. He had to hang on, hang on harder than ever and get through this. He waited for the blade to come down, and brought up his dagger and blocked it. The blade landed perfectly on the flat side of the dagger, and was retracted to come down again. Az kept blocking them until he was left off of the spell, and laid for for a split second before getting up slowly. He was glad he wasn't stabbed 17 times, or so it seemed he blocked that many.

Now that he was up, drained of life, he had fight smarter now. Maybe get a litte more stylistic too if his energy would allow it. Sheathing his dagger once more, he jumped straight into the air a ways, and came down and slammed his knee into the dock. The dock under him shattered, and sent a straight shockwave through the dock to Ken, splitting boards in a straight line. Thick splinters were sent flying everywhere and dangerously, and split board were sent into the air along with them. He took the force of the recoil to throw himself back up and onto the dock. He stood there this time in a guard, awaiting for Ken to react to the splitting force heading straight for him.

Kenyari watched as az jumped into the air. "Your attempt at all of this is pointless" he yelled out as he started charging towards him. Suddenly kenyari stopped as kenyari had slammed his body onto the already broken apart dock. "He is going to destroy it all" he thought to himself. Kenyari stood still as he waited. He watched the straight line of energy come right towards him. He quickly looked back to see how far away the shore was compared to him, but it was too far to make.

Kenyari snarled as he dug deep and charged right towards the incoming attack wave. Some might say this was a dumb move but to kenyari this was perfect. Huge waves beat against him as the dock broke apart in front of him. A large splinter caught him in the shoulder but did little damage to the enraged demon.

The wave of energy that was destroying the dock, was a few inches away when he leapt into the air. ALl the dock breaking under him. He had noticed while on the ground there was still a few pillars standing and when he jumped he jumped in the direction of the pillar closest to him.

"Pointless attack" he called out as he neared the pillar. "Crimson lightning" he called out as a rush of cackling electric energy rushed through him. He pointed his finger not at Az but at the place az was standing for everything was soaked with water and water is always the best conductor for electricity. The electric energy surged through him as it left his finger at high speeds towards where he was pointing. The red like lighting rushed in and all kenyari could do was smirk as he softly landed on the pillar still shooting electric energy out awaiting for the contact with it.

Az also leaped to the nearest pillar in front of him as all the dock in front of him had shattered to bits. He dodged the lightning bit a little, but slipped on the edge of the pillar. Az had obviously lost a lot of energy, becuase he oculdn't even land on another pillar. He started falling now, but barely caught the edge with one hand. He hung, not knowing what to do from there. he knew it was over, and he knew for sure he was to try again with more preparation. He held his dagger in his dangling hand, looking at Ken, waiting for his next move.

Kenyari smiled at the poor az hanging from the pillar. “Bone missile” he called out as four bone skulls appeared circling around his arm like it had been all the other times he casted the spell. “This fight ends here” he yelled out in a rage. “Thunder blade” he yelled out. He was casting his spells at full power not trying to let the poor az have any room to try anything. A sudden blue bolt of lightning swept down from the skies and hit Kenyari’s sword devastation. The sword glow a dark blue color showing the amount of energy that was being focused into the blade.

Kenyari Smiled once more as he called out one last spell. “Teleport” he called out as he appeared right above az within a blink of an eye. He launched the skulls right over head of az and pointed his sword downward as the small streak of energy followed. “This is the end” he yelled as he inched closer and closer to the body of az.

Az looked up at Ken and his circling bone missiles. He reacted quickly before he had a chance to shoot, but it wasn't quick enough. He put his feet up on the pillar and shoved off, flying back. It was too slow though. He managed to dodge the bolt and three bone missiles, but one managed to knock him in the head and knock him out. Az fell to the ground, out cold and landed in the edge of the water.

Kenyari watched as the poor body of Az as he lay there knocked out. Kenyari was calming down slowly as he looked at him with disgust. Kenyari looked around as the ocean around him seemed to be as calm as it was before the fight. They had only fought for maybe an hour or so but it felt like a lot longer. Kenyari sheathed his sword as he took a long deep breath as his anger subsided. He looked on in the distance as the waves of the water crashed into each other. Kenyari turned to where his kind and trusty pet Uzziah was. He was still standing there waiting for Kenyari to give him an order.

Kenyari smiled at his beast as he looked back at the body of Az. "I will let you live for i think you have the making of a very talented warrior" kenyari whispered to himself as he jumped off the pillar. He hit the water with a splash as he walked slowly to the shore of the water. Waves of water crashed into him but it did nothing but cool him don after a long day. Kenyari turned back once more to Az and smiled as he walked up to uzziah. Uzziah let out a loud resounding roar as his master approached. Kenyari sighed as he flipped his hood back on as he walked away from the ravaged scene of battle. Nightfall was falling upon the shore as kenyari slowly disappeared from the shore. Disappeared from the battle victorious.
