The man bowed to Alex, who bowed back.
"My apologies for being against what was presented to us by her Majesty. I promise I won't say a single thing if you can prove yourself," the man said.
"My apologies for it coming out of the blue too," Alex said. "I'm sure there was a better way for all of this to go down, but unfortunately we ended up having to fight for it."
The man bowed. "Let us begin then."
Alex nodded and stood in front of the man. "Please begin."
The man looked at him weirdly, and so did the crowd that was below. "I believe it is only right for the weaker one of us to start," the man said.
"I agree," Alex replied. "That is why I am letting you go first."
The man felt a pang of anger that he quickly let go of. "Very well, if that is what you wish," he said.
His hands moved in front of him and suddenly water appeared from all around the atmosphere as it gathered into an unstable mass in front of the man.
