Camp 2024 Summer Duels, Match 5

♢ Date | 2 August, 2024 ♢
♢ Interacting With | Cyrus Darsel^{@Koko Riddle}♢
♢ Hex Code | #C08838 ♢

As quick as the duel was started, his wand lashed out a moment later. "Obscuro!" He had the satisfaction for just a moment of seeing a blindfold wrap around one of his opponent's eyes before his own vision was cut off. "Ugh! Cyrus are you ok?" He couldn't see what spells the other boy had been hit by, but he hoped he had at least managed to dodge the blindfold. He couldn't even hear anything from the other team in terms of exclamations of pain or shock. "This blindfold better not mess up my hair." He mumbled underneath his breath, mostly upset about the fact that he was hit at all.

The next few minutes were indeed more measured, and Julian couldn't help but feel a smidge sorry for the quartet of duellists as each of them struggled against the different spells impairing their movement or vision. Rhett and Cyrus, having emerged the luckier duo from the previous round of spell-casting, had an easier time of it. Rhett quickly pulled off the blindfold that had wrapped itself around his head, while it took only a well-cast general counterspell for Cyrus to regain his freedom of motion; and with their opponents both tied up, they had the latitude they needed to quickly free themselves without interruption.

The situation was a little more complicated for Hadashi and Milosh's team, with Milosh being both tied up and blinfolded, meaning either Milosh or Hadashi would have to free themselves from their ropes before Milosh's blindfold could be removed; and while Milosh was able to quickly wriggle out of the ropes binding his wrists, Hadashi was having a harder time of it. Hopefully, he might've at least managed to loosen them up. Julian squinted at the boy's wrists, trying to gauge his progress. If he didn't get free soon, it would start getting much harder as the Cyrus and Rhett started firing off spells

All he had to do was continue to move. He'd squirm and strain against the restraints, trying desperately to not become a sitting duck. Finally, a snap occurred, and he'd sit upright, nearly panting. He had not been in such a panic before, but as soon as he righted himself upright, wand grasped in hand, the sudden darkness hit him once more. Crap, that was still another thing he had to deal with.

The other concern on his mind was how his partner was holding up. Although he couldn't really.. ask him how he was, he'd instead cup his hands and yell for him.

"Hadashi? How you hanging in there man?"

Whilst waiting for an answer, he'd decide he just had to take care of himself at this point, granted.. his actions were still limited, but he also realized no spells were slung their way this turn. That was pure luck, but also.. had the other figures escaped from their bounds? It was all so nerve wracking when he couldn't see anything, and yelling during the midst of a duel wasn't the smartest as it was distracting to him and his partner and gave the other team an advantage, which they obviously didn't need any more of.

Rett yanked the blindfold off, quickly smoothing out his hair and mumbling a thanks to Cyrus for the compliment, a blush coloring his cheeks. Not his fault that Cyrus was cute and complimenting him. He looked over at the other two, Hadashi still bound by Fulgari and Milosh still blindfolded. "Aye, we ain't doin' half bad now." He gave a toothy grin over towards Cyrus, proud of where they were sitting pretty on the duelling piste.

At least for now. "You need to teach me how to do those fancy double spells." Honestly, it was like having three spells in one round, but he couldn't imagine how exhausting they were to do.

The advantage that Everett and Cyrus had gotten last round was about to pay off - as Hadashi still struggled against his bindings and Milosh tried to clear his vision, the other boys went on the attack! It was a good strategy - attack while your opponents were too distracted to dodge. Luckily for the struggling team, Cyrus's wand betrayed him and he was unable to cast the blasting curse he intended to. Phoenix wands could be quite unpredictable! Rett on the other hand sent a powerful one right at Milosh. Though Milosh managed to get his blindfold off, it was a smidge too late. The blasting curse exploded at his feet! Ouch..that had to hurt.

Luckily for Milosh, he wouldn't be alone for long. Hadashi finally was able to break free from his bindings and rejoin the fight! And at least Milosh would be able to see again (assuming he wasn't seeing stars). Rett and Cyrus had taken an early advantage, but with all duelists now fully back in the fight, anything could happen. It was definitely not too late for a comeback. How were Milosh and Hadashi going to regroup, and what would they do to try to regain the control? (Stay tuned to find out).

Milosh's next course of action could not be any clearer. He'd reach up back behind his head and tug at the knot, swiftly releasing the blindfold from around his eyes. His first reaction was to squint and whip his head around at his surroundings. Luckily for him, his eyebrows shot up into his forehead as he saw Hadashi wiggle out of the binds, finally! Now that they were both free-

Before he could finish his sentence, he got blasted slightly backwards from a strong burst of flames. he'd dust off his robes, making sure he wasn't still aflame. Deducting that it was just a really well cast Confringo, a frown slipped on his features, that pissed him off. Of course, a duelist must take advantage of their opponent's weakness. But had he gotten the blindfold off a second quicker, he would've been able to dodge.

That being said, a small exhale escaped him as he saw the two opponents exchange a babble of words, some annoyance plastered on Cyrus' features as his wand fizzled out, producing a failed spell. He would hold that above Cyrus' head for the rest of his days had they decided to have another practice duel.

He'd send a small grin to Hadashi. "Shake it off, let's go. Head back in the game. So help me if I get bound again. The fight's only begun and I want to deal some pain." Milosh's jaws clenched as his gaze flicked back to survey the two in front of them. The next round would be interesting, they were essentially on the same level once again, just a bit more damaged.

There was a sense of ease that came over Everett when he was spell casting, and thank Merlin for that because he spent countless hours practicing and refining his technique. Him and his wand were good friends, an extension of himself at this point. "Confringo!" He couldn't help the small smile that bloomed on his face as he watched the explosion erupt at Milosh's feet.

He turned to see Cyrus hyping up his wand, seeing as his last spell failed and he couldn't help but giggle at the boy. "No sweat off my back Cyrus. We're sitting mighty pretty. I can give you and your wand a moment of privacy if you need it." He stuck his tongue out playfully at the boy before his gaze hardened and shifted back to the battlefield to focus once more. They couldn't get too comfortable.
