The bells and cheering could be heard all over the place. Logain snorted at the number of fighters that had decided they could make it. 'What sad, desperate fools.' Logain
Logain decided to do a little recon. Jumping up atop a statue, Logain scanned the area and noticed several areas already drawing crowds, indicating fights already taking place.
Logain wore a pair of black cargo jeans and a black T-shirt underneath an open, dark red dress shirt, which had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His shaggy dark brown hair stopped just above the collar of the shirt, which shifted and fluttered in the growing wind gusts. 'Best hold off on the fire attacks. With wind blowing like this, it could get out of control, and fast.'
"Hey you! You look like your fighting in the tournament. Are you?" Logain turned his attention to a guy wearing a green and brown robe with black hair pulled back in a long braid.
"And if I am?" Logain asked, a smirk forming behind the sarcastic words.
"Then we fight!" When the guy punched at the air, Logain knew what was going to happen before it did. A tremor started up beneath him before the statue sprouted a boulder that hurled Logain into the air.
'So much for no fire.' Logain snapped his hands, balls of fire appearing. Logain flipped and pointed his hands down at the ground before shooting twin jets of flame down to get control of his body. 'Light, he threw me higher than I thought!'
Logain dropped back down and immediately jumped to one side as a boulder rose from the ground. Grabbing the handle at his side, Logain drew his Gun Sword and held it like a blade before leaping over his cover and rushing his assailant.
The man appeared surprised before he pulled out a large axe and swung at Logain. The Fire Elementalist slid across the ground and struck at the man's legs, only to hear the TINK of metal on metal.
'Great, he has armor.' Logain thought to himself as he jumped up from the ground, using his last bits of sliding momentum to jump up into the air. Fire Darts! Spinning around, Logain flourished his blade, grabbing the gun handle part, aimed at the Earth Elementalist, and fired three fire darts, each hitting the man in the left shoulder.
Smoldering, the man fell to one knee, clutching his shoulder. "Jetil, Harik, assist me!" Two more men jumped out from the crowd, each attired similarly to the man who attack Logain.
Logain rolled his eyes, sighing. "Great..."
