Moses and Pete walked up the stage, neither of them saying a word to each other.
The surface of the stage continued to repair itself even as they stood on it. It took multiple seconds before the whole process ended.
During that period of time both individuals limited themselves to stare and observe the other person, both dashing forward immediately after the inscriptions on the stage dimmed and disappeared.
Both men seemed hell-bent on not wanting to speak to each other, as an instant later they arrived at each other's paths.
A sword appeared in Moses's grip, his face expressionless, while orange flames flickered and enveloped the blade of his sword, Pete retrieving his weapon.
A spear suddenly appeared in Pete's grip, Moses immediately adopting a serious expression at that sight.
Parrying the spears' blade with his sword, Moses tried to grab it, but Pete had moved it from his hand's path.
