With a mighty lunge Jym flew forward, the Ensuane out thrust, just missing Seth and stabbing instead at the cold stone wall, this was followed by a fast slash from the warlock, also just missing... Both warriors slid away from one another, facing off again they stared at each other for a few seconds, silence hung in the air of the small stone chamber, Seth's lone table had been pushed into a corner and the small room was being used as a close-quarters training area.
Seth formed a small fireball in his palm behind his back, holding it for a second before dodging to the left and releasing the ball at Jym, only to have it deflected by the Ensuane, the fire hit the stone inches from Seth's head, this time there was no pause as both men lurched at each other, bringing their blades to bear in two powerful arches, there was a loud clang of steel on steel as the Stormblade and Ensuane struck each other with enough force to shatter lesser blades...
Seth was not wearing his cape, nor his armour, Jym was dressed likewise, and bot only bore their swords as weaponry... After another brief pause they moved the swords apart, and a flurry of slashes from both fighters followed, each parrying the other with precision swings until the blades struck and there was another moments pause, then both men jumped back a little, touching the walls on opposite sides of the chamber...

Sweat dripped from the wizards forehead, the frog's short breaths could be heard and amongst all this, Shade could be seen staring out to sea, sitting on the balcony.
All was peaceful, then as if from nowhere, both fighters lunged at eachother, their blades crossing once again, emitting a high pitched chinging sound which could be heard from the beach.
Jym swung his sword high, but Seth countered with a heavy knee to the soft underbelly of the amphibian, causing Jym to gasp, and his body to keel over. Seth raised his sword in the same manner, but seeing the reflection in the Ensuane, Jym quickly jumped straight forward, effectively spearing Seth, bringing him crashing to the floor beneath the now pink Jym.
Seth lurched his body, sending Jym flying off, weapon still in hand. The frog landed rather close to the window, the loud clash of steel on stone not phasing the black bird at all. Shade slowly looked around, seeming almost uninterested, more annoyed than anything.
Jym lept to his feet, and raised the Ensuane in an odd manner. Clutching it by the blade, looking rather clumsy and disoriented and just in time Seth realised what the frog was up to, as the blade came flying right at his face. Seth ducked out of the way just as he felt a hand, a strange hand, but a hand nonetheless, grab his forearm. His feet lifted off the ground, and he flinched as he waited for the cold stone floor to meet him.
Seth opened his eyes, and was blinded by the light that was shining directly upon him, the solar light. He turned over and stopped suddenly, almost painfully, just in time. His nose, only his nose, pressing against the ground...

Seth's nose pressed lightly against the warm sand, but he had no time to enjoy the sun and surf as he did a kind of barrel roll mid-air, striking Jym, who had leapt out of the window after him hard in the side with the flat of Stormblade, sending the from careening across the sand as Seth landed on his feet and prepared for another round, Jym leapt up and held the Ensuane up once more, the two stared each other down again with expressions more competitive than bloodthirsty...
The waves crashed gently onto the beach as the warriors stood silently for a moment, then a shrill cry from a seagull announced the second round, both men leaping at each other once more, and again the two blades crashed together, the Stormblade emitting small bolts of lightning, the afternoon sun was now threatening to turn orange... The cool sea air danced across Seth's face as he fought in another flurry of blows being parried by Jym...
Seth finally got a moment, taking the chance to fling Jym face first into the sand before leaping out toward the ocean and creating a series of almost transparent platforms hovering above the waves, Seth landed on the furthest one, holding Stormblade at his side as Jym flipped back onto his feet and charged at Seth without pausing for a second the little frog made a mighty leap out onto a platform, dodging a stream of lightning he moved to the next one, and continued forward, dodging magic and leaping between platforms until he was on one next to Seth's own.
The two eyed each other for a second and then each jumped forward, they passed in mid-air, each making a single strike before continuing and landing on the others platform, both turned unscathed and faced off once again. Jym was first to leap, but he was too hasty, not noticing Seth's confident expression the frog leapt high above the warlock and then came down heavily toward him, the Ensuane ready, but before he could land the blow Seth's hand shot forward, and Jym was held in place long enough for the wizard to launch a spin kick, sending the tiny paladin off to another platform...

Getting back up to his feet, a little dazed, but nothing severe, Jym gathered up the Ensuane which had fallen from his hand in the midst of the attack. Rubbing his pained kidney, the Frog readied his weapon again, whispering to himself, a grin on his face, as his hand moved from his sword to his mouth.
He bounded back towards Seth, with increasing speed, speed which Seth had never seen him move before. Soon becoming not but a blur, the frog lept from platform to platform, and was at Seth's foot within seconds, but before Seth had time to react, the frog had already lunged into the air, and was on his way back down again.
The frog readied himself for a mighty strike right on the tip of the sorceror's head, and as his heartrate increased, so did his hopes, his foot was outstretched, and Seth had barely moved. Barely inches away from Seth's head the frog found himself flying much more horizontally, and in much more pain than he had barely seconds before, as Seth had just managed to jump up in a show of acrobatics, and kick Jym square in the stomach in a feat which can only be described as a striker scoring a world cup winning goal for his nation would.
Seth was panting severely, with beads of sweat falling from his head, yet he was still unscathed. It always took a lot out of Seth to manipulate the space time continuum.
Jym flipped himself around, already having recovered, and managed to land on his feet. His muscular legs bulging oddly, his arms both holding the Ensuane, the blade facing him...

Clouds slowly crawled across the sky, blocking the glare of the sun from the two fighters as it sank ever lower... Jym closed his eyes, placing himself in the hands of fate and leapt forward again, the Ensuane held high, Seth readied Stormblade, thinking it would be an easy strike, but as the from rocketed toward him the sun victoriously burst out from behind its veil, the blinding rays assaulted Seth vision in an uncanny moment of luck, and Seth could not see the little frog as he connected with the warlocks stomach, knocking the wind out of him in an instant, the two of them fell to the platform with a thud, landing in a heap...
Seth shook himself a little, coming back to his senses in time to see Jym reaching for the Ensuane... Seth reacted in an instant, his foot once again finding Jym's gut, and sending the little frog sliding across the platform, straight past the Ensuane, at the same time the platform underneath them vanished, sending Jym into the ocean, and Seth into the air, it only took a moment however for Seth to realize his mistake, as Jym was an excellent swimmer...
Seth hovered ten or so feet above the churning water, waiting for the frog to come back into view, but nothing... Nearly a full minute went by and still nothing... Seth closed his eyes as a shadow passed in the waves below him... He pressed his hands together, Stormblade between them, all went quiet as the shadow continued to swim around below Seth, waiting for an opportunity, but he would never get one as a huge bolt of lightning fried the water, forcing the frog to the surface again, but Seth couldn't land a hit as Jym was back on shore as quick as a flash, all that the warlock could do was set off after him...
