The battle between Valerie and Mikael was entertaining, but not nearly as much as what August was doing.
People watched it because it was quite even at first, but the gap started to show itself as the minutes flew past.
Mikael had a domain out as well. The entire forest was backed by a rising sun that enhanced Mikael's power.
The problem was that Valerie stole his energy and used it to enhance her own as well.
It wasn't something he allowed. As they fought, Mikael realized that his control wasn't anywhere near Valerie's level. He tried to stop her, but he really couldn't do anything about it.
He had to go home and train specifically to fight people who had elemental advantages against him.
He knew how to deal with dark dragons and he knew how to deal with water dragons, but he'd never interacted with wood dragons before in his life.
