White sands and photography....

Ha! You can't kill that which you can't understand. Please just shut up and put down your weapons already. Nic slowly allowed himself to raise up until he was a good distance up the wall. Casually, he looked up and saw that they were about halfway up and he was still above water. Finally Nic grew bored and shot a bolt at Kelsier.

Austin grinned and watched the fight as best he could. If I think Nic is in trouble then I will take my chances with the hellhounds. Otherwise I will leave it be because I believe everyone should learn to defend themselves. Austin unsheathed his sword and put it against the tree in between himself and the kid next to him.

I chuckled and created ten katanas out of my shadow, and had them stick into the ground in a circle around me. This kid must of thought he was something special.

I watched the bolt come for me and moved my arm to let it sink in. I gritted my teeth from the pain, but simply laid down in the water. I came back up after a few seconds, after the wound had healed itself, the bolt removed from my arm. I smiled, and lazily threw my trident at him. It would hit him if he didn't move, but I didn't really care either way. I was just toying with him.

OOC: I think I explained the pool poorly. It doesn't have real walls, per se, but is just kind of a big swamp-y thing. It only rises up to two feet everywhere, but the edges are manipulated to keep it from running.

((Okay that makes this easier.))

Austin stared at the katanas and shrugged before turning to look at the kid next to him. Look, you don't want anyone to die and I don't want to have my best friend killed. Let's just agree that if it appears to either of us that one of them is going to be too badly injured then we will interfere to keep death from occurring. Austin didn't feel like fighting with anyone at the time but he wasn't really opposed to it either. Finally he shrugged and walked away from the place with his mind whirling and his sword now in his hand.

Nic saw the bolt strike and then he saw his fellow demititan fall to the water. In that brief span of time, the son of Styx believed he had actually won the fight but then he knew he was wrong and that he was still in a fight. When Kelsier rose from the water again and threw his trident, Nic was half prepared. He sprung upward and tried to evade the weapon entirely but the weapon slammed into his lower leg and barely split the flesh open on the outer side of his calf. Nic fell in a very ungraceful manner and flew through the water wall before landing on the outside in a pained gasp. He reached down and pulled the trident free before tossing it aside and letting the blood drip down. Nic stood up and dashed into the forges where he grabbed his armor and weapons before disappearing from the forges out a window to go clean up and rest. There was no point in dying for no reason.
