2023, Stage 2 Slytherin vs Ravenclaw: Match 9

It was another wild weather event; such always seemed to be in store for the average duelist on the piste. Thomas was for once not wanting to take a particularly aggressive role, opting for a supportive spell to try and blind the opposing Slytherins. It would serve to be an annoyance at the very least, a notion that brought a small smile to his face.

"Ah man, Callie. You look crispy," he noted as she got cooked over the open fire.

Effects: Callie is no longer Aflame from Round 1, and does not take fire damage. Lumos Maxima has ended.

The bright light that Thomas had created would prove to be a huge turning point in this duel. Santario and Ileen had to raise their hands to try to block the light out, but even still they could barely see their opponents. And not being able to see in a duel was almost as bad as, well, having to move your hands to block out blinding lights.

The momentary distraction gave time for Thomas to extinguish the flames that had whipped up on his dueling partner, much to Jake's relief. Finally, no more fire.

And then came the apocalypse.

Callie, it turned out, was a monster. Seeming unphased (at least to Jake) by the fire that had left her stumbling just moments ago she would get revenge by shooting out flames towards BOTH the Slytherin team members at the same time! Thomas's light had gone out as he cast his spell, leaving their vision spotted and dark as their eyes adjusted. The first thing BOTH of them would see (or feel) would be Callie's incendio duo spell (she was really putting the duo in incendio duo). It seemed like with every cast she could fight off two people at once. How did she DO that?

Jake's dad had often talked about how he was always putting out fires at work. On his more frustrated days he'd talk about how every time you put out one fire, two MORE pop up. Jake was REALLY starting to get it. Of course those were just metaphor fires, but it was even worse when they were real ones. Callie had been extinguished but now both Slytherins were alight.

Ileen would turn to give Santario a healing spell - she had been hit twice already, but Jake knew how tough Santario could be and so it didn't surprise him at all when the girl reached forward and sent a knockback jinx right back at Callie, hitting its mark perfectly.

At this rate it was going to be fastest duel Jake had ever seen.

It seems like this was a duel where no one ever missed. Ileen was still trying to block out the bright light as it suddenly disappeared. It left her blinking in confusion, trying to adjust to the new normal lighting, her eyes overshadowing everything with a violet shadow of the pain that had covered everything seconds ago.
And this second of distraction was her downfall. Apparently the Ravenclaw had decided to give it right back to them.
Ileen saw the flames too late and suddenly her robe was on fire again. The burning, piercing and biting pain made her gasp, but not more before she would fight it down.
Gritting her teeth she raised her wand and followed through with the original plan although the extinguishing spell felt like the first choice. She wouldn’t leave her partner hanging. Never. the healing spell flew naturally over her lips.

Man, this sucked. What especially sucked was how dizzy she was getting as the other team started to chip away at her. At one point she was so out of it that she didn’t even hear the others call her gifted! Truly, a rare sight to see Callie miss the opportunity to brag about her spell splitting prowess.

Hi everyone! There are a bit less than 11 hours remaining! I still need moves from the Ravenclaw team! @Santario Martin @Thomas Baines @Callie Jensen @Ileen Knight

Some small part of Thomas resented his relegations into more supportive roles in recent duels. There was something decidedly less exciting about putting out the fire on his partner’s robes as opposed to casting flames of his own. Regardless of his inner complaints he carried on; perhaps it was that he was on a team with an old friend that kept him from growing too irritated. His Extinguo naturally went off without a hitch.

"Hmm.."

The whirlwind of a duel continued viciously, as it had all along. Jake felt almost dizzy before he realized he'd been holding his breath. Luckily the flames that had lit on both of the Slytherin's robes were dying down - but that hadn't stopped anybody. The Slytherins didn't barely react at all to being lit on fire, they didn't get upset or cry out - only a small gasp from Ileen. Instead Jake watched as it only seemed to motivate them more, many wands moving at the same time on all sides.

With a thud Santario would hit the ground, Callie's full body-bind curse hitting its mark, but not before she had cast off a spell of her own. Callie had done possibly the worst thing she could do. By attacking both Slytherins at the same time once again, she had made herself a target, and she would only get a split-second of triumph seeing her spell hit, perhaps before realizing that Santario had cast at the same time. Suddenly two powerful knockback jinxes would hit Callie in perfect sync, driving her backwards with great force. It would take absolutely everything Callie had to remain on her feet. Jake watched the girl wobble, and perhaps it was quick thinking from Thomas, or maybe the plan all along, but a healing spell sent Callie's way would be all that kept her from losing consciousness from the continued onslaught.

Still, Callie would feel on her last legs, she HAD to, after all the punishment she'd taken. Santario was on the ground, unable to move, perhaps the only thing that could slow this duel down just a little. Jake finally took a breath. He knew duels were getting shorter this time around, but at this rate there'd be nothing left on the platform by the end of this. Oh god oh god oh god....

Callie couldn’t help but feel like she was still up and running on little more than a prayer. Her vision was getting blurry and her movements started to become difficult. It wasn’t long before she would be forced to take an involuntary nap but at least she managed to inflict some chaos before she was counting sheep. It made up for her slight wobbling on the duelling stage, in her mind anyway.
