Sparks fly, flames erupt
Sands stream and sting in sudden gales
Dazed and displaced by torrents abrupt
As two witches clash to see who will prevail

Kat, 14, a prodigy- noble, but a bit naive
Astrid, 16, gives it her best- no moment is spared for rest

Light radiates from within balled fists
The gems that bring their powers to exist
All five elements, nature's full force
Through these girls such powers course

A grin extends Kat's face, bright as the crescent moon
Astrid more zeroed in, her movements well attuned
Their gemstones' energies nearly fully consumed
Something has got to give, the scale must tip soon

Lightning explodes from Astrid's hand
Rampant, lethal, charges no man could withstand
But Kat has her own electric stone
Neutralizes the bolts as they are thrown- skill well honed

Kat blasts gusts robust to render her foe prone
And pin her down with gravel summoned from her earth stone

Fireballs soar through the air, roar toward their target square
A sudden surge of water leaves nothing there
Once-precious stones cast aside as they go grey
Lest they be grabbed by mistake and thus betray

Like night and day they trade..

"That's enough- well done, girls"
Ghael calls off the friendly feud
"Hey, I've got money riding on this!"
Grub jokes and adds "how rude!"

"Awesome as always" Kat says
Astrid agrees, "I nearly had you too!"
Ghael says "I'm quite impressed
Now quickly rest, you've more yet to do"
