Lumis eyed the person in front of him. Lean, thin, and roughly the same height as me, he thought to himself. Short, black hair and pointy ears; either Elvish or Hylian. Wearing a black cloak with leather armor underneath. Metal knobs on the side meant for holding his two swords. His focus then shifted to his opponent's weapons. The one on the knob has a rope attached to its hilt; likely used for long range. The one in his hand has an emerald hilt. It is expelling a strange aura; most probable uses could be self-healing or attack-based. As the Elemental studied his opponent, he thought about his motivation. "And why exactly are you going to take me out?"

"Classified. All I can divulge is that I am here to stop you," the warrior said as he stared Lumis down.

Assassin. The only question is, who would want me dead? Lumis thought to himself when suddenly the swordsman disappeared. He readied his staff and assumed a stance. Opponent disappeared. Most likely position, behind. Lumis spun around and extended his staff. The fighter reappeared and leaped back. "Truly you are an assassin. Attacking me as quickly as possible. Since there seems to be a very small chance of preventing this, I have no choice but to fight." The Light Elemental spun Illumis around his body and got into stance.

His opponent turned invisible once again. Lumis again calculated where he would strike from. Left. He held out his left hand with his palm facing away from him. "Blind." A bright flash of light shot out of his left hand. The swordsman reappeared temporarily stunned. Lumis swung his staff horizontally. The swordsman quickly dodged under the swing. He retaliated with an upward swing, which Lumis parried. The two exchanged attacks with each one parrying the other. The Elemental sidestepped a vertical slash and struck the side of the knee with his weapon. The warrior lost balance and began to fall backwards. He used his hands to flip himself back and upright.

"Reflex Point: Knee," said Lumis as he rested Illumis on his shoulder. "It temporarily scrambles the nerves located in the leg causing one to lose balance."

"So, you're that kind of fighter," said the swordsman as he began to slowly circle Lumis. "Strange. I thought you used explosives." Lumis looked puzzled.

"Explosives? I do not use explosives," Lumis replied defensively. The fighter smirked.

"Sure you don't," he said sarcastically. He lunged forward with another attack, but Lumis kept him away from attacking distance using the length of his weapon. Lumis leaped backwards and swung his staff diagonally. A wave of light energy came out from the tip. The fighter guarded himself with his weapon, but the blunt force of the light energy caused him to fly backwards. He flipped around and used his sword and feet to regain his balance.

"Well skilled warrior, can you at least tell me your name?" Lumis asked.

"My name is Axen," he replied. Lumis smiled.

"And my name is Lumis," The Light Elemental readied his weapon, "but I'm sure you already knew."
