[uwasa]

He smiled as he saw the man pull out a sword and raised his hand palm facing up and spoke."Where i come from is not different then here manners are manners."Just then the wind picked up and blue electricity sparked off of uwasa's body and then in a flash of blue light all that stopped. Above his hand floated a blue orb he then reached into it and it turned in a blue bladed sword with a black handle.It was a long sword with a very fine crafted sword and handle it gave off a blue aura witch felt old. He got inot a fighting stance holding the sword in his right hand and smiled."If you wish to fight then comeon show me this darkness."He was ready to parry attack he had no interest in attacking till he knew this mans skills.  

[Moonduster]

Jacob was rather hoping the man would continue using his silly little magic tricks instead of pulling out a sword of his own. But, Jacob wasn't about to back down from a fight. And this man wasn't going to let him leave so this was really the only way to go at the present moment. Never had Jacob liked making the first move but he was going to this time. It may his downfall but it was worth a shot. Jacob pushed off his feet in a small jump twisting his body while whipping his sword around almost like a propaller on a plane. When he came in for a landing his sword would come down diagonally from the left to strike towards his shoulder and chest area.  

[uwasa]

Uwas watched the boy's attack and nodded in aprovement at his atempt to distract him with the complicated move. But whne the stirke was about to hit his sword whipped up with blinding speed and stopped his sowrd with a flash of sparks."You are a good sword fighter but you left yourself far to open."He said as he pushed the boy back with amazing strength and brought his sword to a lower position, and made a quick slash upwards trying to cut his chest area.  

[Moonduster]

The impact caused a small shockwave to travel up Jacob's left arm filling it go all the way up to his shoulder. Making it look as if it was shacking. Trying desperately to place his feet firmly upon the ground. At the push Jacob nearly stumbled completely backwards almost losing his balance. His sword pointing outwards completely leaving him open for an attack just like the man said it would. At the last second to save himself from being sliced opened he twirled the blade in his hand and brought the sword up from beneath. Stroking the bottom of the man's sword and continued upwards to push the sword towards the sky.  

[uwasa]

Uwasa smiled as the boy deflected his attack enough to save his life and took a step back and let the boy regain his balance."You are pretty ok jacob i'm inpressed most poeple do alot worst then this."He said as he put his left hand in his pocket and took a relaxed stance."Now come on give me your best shot i will only use my right hand."He said smiling and waited for the attack his sword's tip resting just above the ground.  

[Moonduster]

He stumbled another step back but didn't have to deflect once more considering the man was now simply standing there in a calm manner. Taking the time to regain his posture and spin the sword once in his small hand as he stood upright. It felt like the man was mocking him in some form or another. Oh, Jacob would give him his best shot alright. Holding the sword diagonally behind him with the tip pointing down his eyes started to became a darker crimson nearing that of blood like the one that spills forth when a lung is punctured. The boys shadow begins to ripple like the surface of a puddle. The blade of the sword started to glow almost as if being swallowed up by flames but these flames were dancing along the sword with a smoky color to it. This was going to take a rather large amount of Jacob's energy but he wanted the man to leave him the bloody alone. Twirling the sword in his hand like one would with a staff he grasp hold of it tightly making the spinning cease. Bringing the sword up behind him and above his head. He struck the curve of the blade straight smack into the ground. The earth seemed to split forth before him as that dark magic blasted out and started to cast its way towards Uwasa.  

[uwasa]

Uwasa saw him charge up some magic and smiled."About time you show me some power."He said smiling and he switches his stance so his sword is behind him and his left side is facing him. He flips the sword so it is backwards in his hand and then pulls his lef thand out of the coat and raises his palm to face jacob. As the blast came closer and closer a dark aura surrounded uwasa, a shield of shadow energy came around him just as the attack was about to hit. Dust and smoke was thrown up in the air and it looke dlike he was gone but as it cleared he stood there. There was a small crater around him but the piece of ground he stood on was fine and so was he."Wow that one was close, you have some real power there."He said laughing then a line of blood apeared on his cheak he whiped it with his left hand and looked inprest."Hey some of your attack even got through my sheild now i'm realy impressed."He said looking at the boy still in a relaxed stance.  

[Moonduster]

Jacob watched and became shocked at the way the shadows started to form around the man. That when it struck him that the man had nearly almost the same powers like those his sister has. And his sister was quite deadly with her magic. Now, he really knew he was in trouble. But, yes that attack he had thrown towards Uwasa was quite powerful. They always were when he was having one of his temper tantrums but only then were they powerful. But, the fact the man managed to nearly blocked all of his attack he knew he didn't have enough to create one as power as that one. Jacob stood his ground though not budging from his spot as he was bent at the knees a bit holding his sword aligned up with his side as he kept his eyes focused on the man awaiting his next move.  

[uwasa]

Uwasa pointed his palm at jacob again and smiled as a large orb of shadow energy was created he looked at jacob and nodded."I hope you still have some fight left because you need to learn to conserve."He said as he shot the orb at his it went speeding towards him. About five feet from him the orb split into five smaller ones all of them heading straight for him. He had passion his sword ready to defend him from anything else incase joacb tried to spring an attack at him after he dodged this if he did dodge it that is.  

[Moonduster]

Jacob immediately pushed off and charged forward as the orb came speeding towards him. Continuing to weild the blade at his side once getting close enough he brought the sword up from his side and slashed it across horizonatally. Cutting through the splitting orb. He would then twirl his blade and continue his charge forward silently counting down in his head how much time he roughly had before he was out of energy. Bringing the word back he thrusted forward at the man to stake him through the stomach.  

[uwasa]

Uwasa saw him get past his magic attack and smiled and got ready as he came towards him. As the lunge came at him he swept his sword upwards he parried the attack and spark flew. After he parried he brought the sword slashing from the left downwards straight for his chest. His atatcks where fast and graceful as well as fulol of power.This guy is good i never thought he would be able to last this long.He thought to himself as he did his attacks hia left hand had returned to his pocket.

By now, Decoda had moved out of the way of the battle as an independent observer. She narrowed her eyes at the two boys as they fought, intrigued at their power. She wasn't very skilled with her own, having only recently discovered the manipulation she had over electricity and metal. Placing her bag down, she sat on the squishy duffle, it being filled with clothes and a few art supplies and music.

Her dagger was holstered on her ankle as she relied on her magical art more than weaponry, but her dagger was prized--she had practised with it and was highly skilled.

The older of the two seemed to be so calm and collected during the match and she admired it. Cody hoped that here she could get the chance to be like that and not let her magic control her or what was around her.
 

[Moonduster]

Considering Jacob was lunging forward it left little time for him to pull back as the man parried his attack. It did cause him to start stumbling again though but didn't leave him any time this time to come up with a defensive move. The hot sting of a sharp blade slicing through his chest like butter erupted. A small cry of pain escaped his mouth. But, it was small he had dealt with much worse wounds then this during his life time. He jumped back putting some distance between the two of them as his free hand covered the area his sword struck. Just another scar to add to the many others that covered his small body. He was starting to breath a little heavier now as he continued to count down. He had about sixty seconds left perhaps seventy before he would be completely out of energy. Ignoring the fact that blood was staining his glove and hand as he stood there staying at a defensive position.  

[uwasa]

Uwasa looked at him and shook his haed he could tell he was nearly done, the wound would slow him down and he was nearly out of energy."Look this fight is over i tested your abilities and found you are quite capable but there is not need to continue. I can sense it your almos tout of energy and that wound is pretty bad, besides i have been holding back this whole time. So please just give up i do not want to hurt you anymore."He said sounding like he truly did care he got what he wanted a test of the bows power so it was over."Now come here so i can heal that wound you have."He said stepping into a regular stance.  

[Moonduster]

Jacob's face darkened again when the man suggested for him to come over to him. Instead Jacob took slow careful steps away from Uwasa keeping his eyes sharply upon the man. There was no way he was going to let the man come close not at all. Yes, he needed medical attention but he could care less about the wound. His mind was actually far from it. Like the first time once he was some feet away from the man he turned around and started heading for his bag keeping his hand firmly against the wound to slow down the flow of blood.

"Just..stay away from me..' Jacob growled.
