Adventure Awaits: Tales of Elementia

Chapter 13: Fire Sin of Wrath, Leon

Leon walks towards Fikar, his fiery passion alongside his burning appearance. With one step before him, Fikar and Leon stared at each other for quite some time... But by pure instinct, Leon threw a fiery fist forward at his face, but Fikar dodged it, while the bystanders all backed off in surprise, making room for them to fight. Then cheers began to play out, and people began to shout and throw hands in the air at this sudden fight that they didn't mind.

And so, both Fikar and Leon went at it while the huge crowd went crazy.

Leon:
"Hahahaha!"
"Now, this is what I've been waiting for!"
"Let's dance!"

Fikar:
"..."

Both of them rushed each other with a hard throw, both their punches clashing together, creating a shockwave of energy from a single blow. It was so strong that the shockwave blew winds of warm flames throughout the air, and the fight continued with quick steps and fiery respect.

Leon:
"That's it!"
"Show me more just like back then!"

Fikar:
"Back then?..."
"What do you mean?"

Leon:
"Hah!"
"That's right, you forgot."
"I'll make you remember,"
"With this little fight of ours!"

Leon threw punch after punch, kick after kick. Fikar was having a hard time trying to dodge and block the fast attacks, but this feeling... the fight, backed into a corner... Something was just burning inside him this time, and it was not just familiarity but a desire to fight and win.

Fikar's vision began to flash, and more of his mind was being hit and changed... Now, he was facing Leon on equal terms. Each attack was being blocked and countered each time, and both of them looked at each other with a sign of respect and determination, as they both clashed against each other once again.

Leon:
"That's more like it!"
"Come on now, Fikari!"
"Just like years ago!"

"Years Ago...?" Those words flooded his mind like wildfire. And with one last clash of fists...

-----------

Today, I, Fikari, go off on my way to meet an old and battle-hungry friend. He's probably still waiting for me after I finish some... "Work" with another pal. Now then, I made my merry way to the Hell's Volcano for a little sparring match against Leon. I swear every day he's always been asking for me to fight him every time, but when he does, we always tie! At least when I'm against my other friend, I win most of the time because he gets over the top with himself.

I make my way up the volcano hopping over lava pits, rivers, and pools, barely just getting splashed by bubbles of lava. But after a while, I finally made my way to the entrance where, to no surprise, Leon was waiting for me, his arms crossed and a burning look on his face, his bare feet tapping against the ground angrily.

Leon:
"What took you so long?!"
"You know how long it's been since?!"

Fikari:
"Geez... It's only been an hour."
"My pals got me hung up on something important."

Leon didn't want to listen. Instead, he goes up to me and puts his fist out towards me.

Leon:
"We fight, right here, right now!"

Fikari:
"Bro-"

Leon:
"No excuses!"
"FIGHT!!"

"When in doubt, fight it out." That is what I would say in this situation, but I shook my head and put my fist up. He smiles, and with one stomp of his feet, he creates a big yet small grounded field for the both of us. And so, we both begin to fight like any other day.

Leon is headstrong, durable, and powerful. He's someone for sure to get the fiery start of a fighter, like himself. No weapons, fists only... If you're someone like me. We both hold weapons in our hands, for him, Gauntlets, and for me, a special sword made for me. But I won't be going into details about it.
