Early in the morning the skies were beautiful. Not a sky was seen for miles, there was nothing but blue skies and the occasional bird. The students were actually happy for once, beads of sweat rolled down their faces as they worked hard at their combat training. Summer was about to begin, then their happy expressions would fade away into nothing but exhaustion. The sun made it's way through the air gracefully, the temperature increased, but the students and masters were still happy. They believed that absolutley nothing could go wrong on such a splendid day.

But the common sense of an adventurer would tell them to never think that. No matter how much one would like to believe that they could get through one peaceful day. A traveler came, a loose shirt and fire red hair. His eyes seemed to burn like flames. He imeediatley asked to face the strongest one there. Not the best student, but whoever was the head of the Outdoor Training Grounds. When asked his name, the man responded "I am destruction, but most humanoids call me, Aduro Silex." They relayed the message to a knight, the one who was currently in charge of the facility. The two met in an arena, where students stood to the sides to watch the fight to unfold.

"So you are my opponent?" Aduro said with a smir as he looked the man over. The knight was over six feet tall, he had long hair that came from beneaath his helmet. It appeared as if he had a muscular build. The knight's person weapon of choice was a war maul, curently thrown over his left shoulder. Whereas the knight stood armored, Aduro Silex wore nothing but simple clothing, and his weapon of choice were long claws. "If you truly are as oiwerful as tales say, then there is no reason for me to hold back."

The red haired man took a breath as he looked his opponent over once more. "Perustum, Enflamment!" With these words the entire being of the one called Aduro became engulfed in flames. A wicked smile came from behind the flames before they took off after the opponent who slammed his hammer where he believed them to go. The knight was fast, but with such strength h was clumsy. Aduro analysed this before backing up away from the strike. The knight began to raise his maul back into the air, but this left him open. With the force that was put into lifting the mighty weapon hhe was easily kicked back and onto the ground. With his opponent to the ground the opponent announced, "I am an elemental of destruction, I am yours!" He thrust the claws into the armor four times, once in the head, twice in the heart, and once more in the stomach. The armor had turned red from the heat in those spots. "I propose this to you! You can all come at me to avenge your precious little leader!" The elemental challenged all there to come forth and attack him at once.

Astra lay in the training area with her mock oppenent's foot on her stomach and sword point to her neck she scowled. She had been practicing for a few days and had not proved to be very good at this yet and was begining to get discouraged. She sighed agrily and got up wiping the dirt of her blue armor. Her armor consisted of a short skirt made of dragon scales, a top that had many straps crosing in front of her collar bone and shirt tank for the top also made of blue dragon skin.

Again she held up her rapier sword and fenced defending herself against a few blows to the upper chest, neck and arm. But when her opponent did some fancy foot work and spun he came behind her putting the blade to her neck.

"What would you do now?" He asked into her ear.

Astra angrily hit his leg with her hand, and when that failed to work she turned to face him, and with a thrust of the knee hit him clean in the groin. He fell to the ground holding his crotch. "That is what I would do." She said after sitting next to him and rubbing his back. "I'm soo sorry I just ment to prove a point I did not intend to hurt you that badly!"

Her attention was turned again to someone who, at the time was having a tad bit of an anger issue, the man turned completely to fire, yelled at his opponent and then proceded to kick his butt. She was also very rudly staring. Fire was a close element to air, it needed air to flourish without it, the flame would die. And with Astra being a air witch she was intruiged and scared by the new comer.
