"Begin!"
The announcer, as well as the referee for the match, signaled, commencing the start of the match.
Lila wasted no time after the match had begun, she raised her hands to the sky, commanding her falcon.
"Zephyrion, take flight!"
The Tempestwing falcon screeched, its powerful wings beating as it soared higher above the arena, circling with the grace and speed of a predator ready to strike.
Kyle remained calm and care-carefree hands cooly tucked inside his pockets.
There was a pouch of runes strapped to his waist, and he made sure to take notice of it too.
He had not exactly prepared for this match-up, a fight against a flying creature. But to an extent he was ready for multiple scenarios.
All he needed to do was play smart and avoid exposing too much.
Lila smirked. "Trying to prove tough, aren't you?" she called out before chanting her spell,
"Wind Slash!"
