For a moment it appeared that Roshan was retreating, but all she was doing was putting space between them to give her time to sheath her sword. Her opponent followed her movements, not allowing her to gain much space. She dodged a fireball that he sent her way to keep her from pulling out another weapon. It was a good move on Cináed’s part, but it didn’t stop her from pulling out her whip.

The faint sounds of crunching twigs caught the woman’s attention allowing her partner to close what distance she had gained. With her distracted Cináed knocked her into a tree, forcing the air from her lungs. Gasping for air she glared at him, her azure eyes flickering with anger. This didn’t stop the attacks from her partner, he continued until he had her pinned against the tree. Of course Roshan wasn’t about to let the fire elemental think that he had won. No, far from it. This was only beginning. Even pinned she showed litter fear as her form shifted before Cináed’s eyes. The woman had become a bird and flew from him. Flying away she headed in the direction of where the sounds had come from earlier.

Cináed watched the woman fly off. What was she thinking using such a trick? Sure he had planned to force her to surrender before ending their training, but that was mostly because she had gotten such a good shot in earlier. His leg was still bleeding lightly from where the blade had sliced him. Growling he sheathed his scimitar as he moved in the direction his lovely partner had disappeared in.

Roshan let her form shift again in midair before landing gracefully on an upper branch of a Sakura tree. Grinning she looked down at the woman below who had be spying on them. She was right they weren’t alone and this person seemed to be like her friend, an elemental. “You know, it isn’t nice to spy on others.” Her head tilted to the side as she watched Anubina. “After all it could land you in danger yourself.” The look in her eyes was dead serious. It annoyed her that this woman was watching them. It also annoyed her that she had managed to interrupt them. The only good thing is that she was another elemental, hopefully not one that sought to fight, instead of the hunters, Rufio and Alister, who had been tracking them for the past two months.

As the woman swung down from the branch, landing in front of Anubina, the fire elemental came into view. “I was really hoping my senses were playing tricks on me,” he grumbled slightly. He knew exactly who this stranger was. She was one of the last water elementals. Cináed wrinkled his nose slightly and moved to stand beside Roshan. “She is correct though. It is rude to spy on others.” For the first time in a long time the man stood slightly in front of his partner as if he was protecting her from something or someone. In this case the water elemental. It isn’t because he had something against Anubina, but because he had problems with water elementals in general due to a bad encounter when he was very young.
