Intro[]
- On the top side of this arena it is a typical landscape, a pond in the middle, trees, however it is charmed to be eternally night, with the stars and moon in the sky
- Located in the middle of the arena on the top side is a small grave yard
- At a few various point around the arena are dark caves going deep down into the underworld, this part of the underworld has been sealed off from the rest, so that anyone may gain access no matter who their god parent
- The arena is open to the sky and elements, but as there are caves down into the underworld, there are areas of the arena that the sky access is limited
- At the centre of the underworld, there is a medium sized temple, it is the darkest at this point and there are pyres, full of fire and wood, at the entrance to the temple. The fire that burns within the pyres can not be extinguished, but if the fire is removed from the pyres, it can then be put out.
- Inside the temple are various Greek statues, roughly 6 feet tall

(Now is not the time for jokes or laughter, brother.)
Fight[]
Adam: Right.... *He can already tell his brother means business. So he pulls two knives from his waist, he holds them between his fingers. He quickly tosses them towards Lucifer's face. Since he figures his brother can easily dodge, he runs towards his and pulls out his guitar pick. It turns into a sword into his hand, Adam then attempts to strike Lucifer in the hand where he holds his bow*
Lucifer: Without missing a beat, Lucifer adjusted his aim and shot an angled arrow at one of the knives, changing it's course and causing it to hit the other as well. The speed of an arrow greatly outdoes the speed of Adam, and before he could even draw his sword Lucifer had retreated a few feet away, taking the time to nock a pair of arrows. When the bowstring was released, one arrow flew at Adam's sword hand, while the other (Which he had charmed to burn intensely and brightly) flew in the direction he anticipated Adam's hand to be when Adam adjusted to evade the former. Positioned just to the left of Adam's sword hand, the safest position to be to completely evade the first arrow.
Adam: *He sees the 2 arrows fly towards him. Instead of simply moving to another direction. He decides it'd be safer to fall quickly on his back. So the 2 arrows fly above him. Adam quickly rolls back and hides the nearest statue, it being a statue of Persephone. His eyes rest upon his sword as it switches to it's bow form. Then he nocks a pair of arrows. And releases the bow string. They both fly towards Lucifer. One flying towards his left arm, and other flying towards his right*
Lucifer: His lips contorted into a small grin, as he always loved testing his shooting abilities against such a target. In one fell swoop an arrow was nocked and released, colliding head on with the arrow aimed at his left shoulder, creating and open spot for him to simply sidestep. Even though the most he had done so far was summon 4 arrows and charm one of said arrows, he felt he was doomed to run dry at the current rate of the battle, and slung Skotadi around his chest again, placing his aspis upon his right arm and taking Phos in his left. The distance between Lucifer and Adam had to have been 30 or so feet, by his own estimate, and Lucifer was in the middle of the room, without anything to stand behind. Except his huge aspis. Crouching to hide his entire form, he converged on Adam, expecting Adam to find a way to attack from behind and preparing to evade in any way.
Adam: *He smirks as he figures Lucifer would expect him to attack from behind. So instead he jumps back. Putting his left hand in Lucifer's direction and opening his palm. Before firing a blast of light towards the middle of the Aspis. He hopes the light would heat up the aspis, possibly burning Lucifer or just forcing him to drop the Aspis. He maintains the burning hot blast for a few moments. Before dashing to his right.
Lucifer: Even though the bronze aspis did heat up slightly, it was more of a pleasant sting than a searing heat, and the full brunt of the attack was deflected off the aspis, hitting the wall and changes directions as Lucifer approached Adam. Using the hottest point on the shield as a tell, Lucifer kept his movement unhindered, and as Lucifer felt the heat lighten and heard dashing footsteps, Lucifer exposed himself from his concealment and took off in a full sprint towards Adam. Opening with a bash with his aspis, the business end of which was MUCH hotter than the insulated interior, directed at Adam's chest and following up the same movement with a horizontal slash from his Phos, aimed to maim his sword arm to the point of incapacitation.
Adam: Shit! *He seems somewhat pissed that his attack failed. When he gets hit with the Aspis in his chest. The chainmail absorbs most of the heat and shock. But Adam still feels hurt. But he sees the slash coming, just in time. He mentally commands his bow to transform back into a sword, to avoid an unfortunate accident. He uses his armguard to take the slash, but his arm still feels slightly bruised. He smirks as he realized he has a good change to retailate. So with his left hand, Adam collects a small throwing knife from his waist. Attempting to stab Lucifer in his unprotected upper left arm. All while, bringing his sword in for a diagonal slash towards Lucifer's armpit*
Lucifer: Once again finding it necessary to use his powers, Lucifer willed armour of pure light to shield himself, which halted both attacks. Dispelling the shield, Lucifer retreated again, finding haven behind his aspis once again. Once he got far enough away, Lucifer found a nook in the crumbling temple to fit his aspis into, and by popping his head up like a gopher every so often he was able to both defend with ease and return volleys of arrows, shooting 5 at once, all directed at Adam's torso, but shotgunning so that the point at which each arrow would hit him was unpredictable.
Adam: *He falls down on his back again, watching as the arrows zip over him. He then runs towards Lucifer. Hoping to fool him into thinking he was trying to attack him from the front. But Adam then jumps and rolls towards Lucifer's side. Where he seems rather vulnerable. With his sword, Adam makes a powerful jab towards Lucifer's upper arm.
Lucifer: With a majority of his training being in a phalanx (though he had enough training to be on par should he have expected it), Lucifer did not anticipate such a rush, and his quick reflexes only barely managed to save his right arm, though it was still incapacitated, and Lucifer roared in pain as he backed away, dropping his bow and leaving his shield. He drew his sword without delay, and took a defensive stance, ready to parry any sort of of oncoming attack.
Adam: *He seems somewhat proud of himself. Wanting to keep Lucifer on the defensive. He kicks up a large amount of dust, creating a small dust cloud in front of him. Adam hopes it will get into Lucifer's eyes as he attempts slashing as his lower legs, hoping to make it harder for him to run.
Lucifer: The attack on his legs does nothing more than slightly dent his bronze greaves. Even without his eyes, Lucifer backs farther away, keeping careful memory on where his aspis is. Once he feels he is safe enough away, Lucifer takes a deep gasp of air, releasing a high-pitched screech and getting ready to lunge at the area he expects Adam to make a sound from, confirming his presence. No matter what, he's lunging or not, however. If Adam makes a sound, it would to be to tackle Adam to the ground while he's stunned and sprint to his aspis, if he still isn't sure about Adam's location he'd lunge and get back to his aspis either way.
Adam: Gah! *He gets tackled and falls roughly on the ground. He's very dazed and confused due to the screech, his ears ringing loudly. Adam slowly gets up, still feeling woozy from the screech. He thinks, because many possible attacks can be deflected with Lucifer's aspis. Adam manages to run out of the temple. He commands his sword to revert to it's guitar pick form. Placing it in his pocket before he collects a large wooden stick from the pyre and lighting it on fire. Before running off and hiding behind a large boulder a few feet from the entrance*
Lucifer: Glad to be back behind his aspis, Lucifer plots his next actions carefully. First, he waits it out until he can see again, noticing Adam disappeared from the temple. His right arm was injured to the point that he could not wield his bow properly, but his left hand was still ready to grasp Phos. Cautiously, Lucifer starts his way out, taking in his surroundings before advancing too far. The only things directly outside the template that could hide someone of Adam's size is a large boulder and a bit of dense grass. Crossing one out of his list, Lucifer points Phos at the grass, releasing a burning light until it catches ablaze. As Adam didn't come running out, he concluded that his adversary hid behind the boulder, or was not in the immediate vicinity. Charging the boulder, he proceeded to put himself in harms way for a second by throwing his aspis vertically past the side of the boulder. Using it's reflective surface again, Lucifer released a strong beam, hoping to either blind or burn Adam, and went around the other side of the boulder without delay, expecting either arrows or flashing blades.
Adam: *Not currently aware of the oncoming attack, Adam puts his ear to the ground. He hears Lucifer's footsteps. But before he can get up. The reflected light beam flies over Adam, since he was on the ground and was millimeters away from being burned by the beam. It flies towards Lucifer. Adam then gets up, his torch still in hand. He tosses it towards the dry patch of grass in front of Lucifer. Once it hits the ground and starts a small flame. Adam fires a light beam of his own towards the small flame. Increasing it's heat and size*
Lucifer: He was caught off guard by the fire and rolled out of it quickly enough to evade third-degree burns, but his feet were still seared enough that Lucifer winced by simply applying pressure to them. Persevering through the pain, Lucifer made it to his feet and ran, picking up his aspis after sheathing Phos to allow him to wield his aspis with a single arm, the one not injured in the prior scuffle.
Adam: *He feels slightly confident in injuring his half brother. Adam then attempts to inflict him with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The symptoms are having trouble running,walking or even talking. The disease can even prevent the victim to stop moving or breathing. This drains a good amount of his energy. Adam then commands his guitar pick to switch to it's sword form again. Charging towards his brother and swinging towards his uninjured arm*
Lucifer: After a few ugly movements that could be called walking, Lucifer fell to the ground, onto his stomach. Before he became incapacitated by the fall, he managed to get the aspis onto his back, turtling his arms to be hidden underneath it's protection. As he lay still, Lucifer went to work using his own power of healing to counteract the disease, and by the time Adam had charged, unsheathed his sword, AND brought it down towards his arm (Which was protected by the shield) Lucifer had enough simple motor skills to get back up on his feet and make some distance. Lucifer over did it a bit with his healing, however, and he felt weaker, at the cost of regaining fighting capabilities with his previously injured arm.
Adam: *Adam figures that this match has gone on for awhile. He feels rather drained, but figures at this point he should'nt worry about saving energy, so he decides to cast another disease. This time he inflicts Irritable Bowel Syndrome, it's symptoms includes bloating, chronic diarrhea, abdominal cramping and constipation. He then fires a light beam at the dry grass in front of Lucifer, causing a quick burst of flame to ignite in front of him. Adam hopes that the IBS and lingering effects of the ALS will make it hard for Lucifer to respond properly. He then drops on the ground, breathing heavily and sweating, tired of his power usage*
