My Beginning After the End Four Armies

Father, Son, Bonding

A wind blade came at me, it dispersed into the air as I conjured a wind wall to match the energy. Damon conjured a black sword as we stood across from one another, ready to fight, we were sparring for the first time, so it was pretty nice. I conjured a sword as well, ready to fight him, we weren't using our Beast Wills, that would most likely scare everybody in the city behind us.

We were fighting on the sands on the shores of Etistin, preparing for the battle that was to come. He launched himself at me, swinging his sword down, I parried his attack, spun and sent a kick into his stomach, and as my foot was about to hit him, he brought an elbow down on my leg.

He hit me, giving me a dead leg, and his sword came at my face, but I ducked under it before it could reach me. I brought my sword up to his chest, and a wind blade exploded toward me, but as it hit my skin, it dispersed again all throughout my body, doing no damage.

"Haha." Damon and I laughed as we each conjured a black spike at one another, backing the other up so that we had to gather ourselves. "You fight well." I told him, if he was to go into his Beast Will while I stayed out of mine, I might lose to him, but our Beast Wills were not equal.

"Thanks, father." Damon said, pointing his blade at me. "I'm not done yet." Wind started to build up around him while I stood there nonchalantly, ready to defend myself by using the same magic. I conjured a wind shield around my body, it wouldn't allow any of his winds blades to hit me.

He shot at me, shooting his winds blades alongside him, I pushed the wind barrier forward, the spells hit, breaking each other up. He was backed up slightly from the wind barrier, but he pushed through it, then appeared before me as I didn't move.

His blade came down, I parried it, brought up my own, he side stepped it, then brought his blade to my face. I moved my head slightly, allowing his blade to go past me, then sent an elbow into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him slightly. I swung my sword as he took deep breath, and he blocked the attack by shooting a wind blade at my sword, knocking it away.

He swung his sword once again at my face, but I met his blade with my own, and they connected. We held our blades together, looking at one another, then I conjured a black spike at his chest, and he did the same, but the spikes collided with one another, stopping them in their tracks.

I pulled my sword back, allowing him to trip a little, almost landing near the spikes, then I swung my sword at his face. Damon stepped forward, caught my wrist, then tried to drive his sword towards my core. I side stepped it, brought an elbow to his face as his momentum carried him forward, and it connected, knocking him to the ground.

I didn't want to hurt him, so I allowed him to get up off the ground before I continued attacking, which he did in a split second, ready to go. I shot a wind blade at him, he allowed it to go past him, then he shot at me.

His blade came down, missed, then my blade came up, slicing him slightly in the shoulder, then he brought his sword to my chest as blood dripped onto the ground from his wound. I went to block the attack, but he shot a wind blade at my throat, so I conjured a wind wall, blocking it and him.

I could feel the eyes of some of the citizens watching us from the city, they were probably curious about Damon, and curious about how strong I had become. The reason I say this is because my brother was now among those people, he was watching us, or he was trying to see just how strong Damon was.

Damon conjured another blade, then came at me, he swung once, missed, then swung again, and just kept going, forcing me to back up as there were no openings for me to attack, all I could do was defend myself. I blocked his attack again and again, then I conjured a small divot in the sand below us, causing Damon to slip up a little, then I sent a kick into his chest, sending him rolling across the shore.
