Let the fight start
Lallaine: She turned and saw James standing there and looking at her surprised. "Well, to be just ready," she said. "So—" she gestured the arena around her, "—where to start?" Then she thought about it for awhile. "I mean, you start. You'll teach me, right? Where's your sword, son of Poseidon?"

James: "Right here daughter of Athena" James says while pulling out his pen in his pocket and uncapping it turning into his sword. "I think we should start at the middle"

Lallaine: She smiled. "Alright, your orders first, sir. This'll be the first and last time a Poseidon kid can order me and tell me what to do. Yes, you're a friend, but then again..." She didn't finish, for she knew James got the idea. "C'mon, my friend, let's start the game."

James: James got to the middle before Lallaine could cause he sprinted all the way and stood at one side of the middle and yelled out to her "Hurry up I want to see how good you are"

Lallaine: She rolled her eyes as James ran to the middle of the temple grounds. "I thought he'd start it. Dummy," she muttered to herself. She walked in fast pace towards James, twirling her sword by the hilt. When she was just inches away from him, she still didn't stop twirling the sword. "Well, I thought you'd have the first move. Why'd let me have it?" With the last word, she hardened her voice as she absurdly held her sword's hilt whilst she aimed it on James' leg—which was opposite of his hand where his dangling sword was.

James: James sidestepped as fast as he could Lallaine's swing to the right and then took off into the jungle

Lallaine: She still had the sword in her tight grip. Her eyes immediately followed James through the woods, and she shouted sarcastically, "So running does the trick, huh? Does it, James?" Knowing he went somewhere to the east, she went north and ran through the forest. Nearing the east side of teh arena, she climbed a tree that has a lot of branches to step on. She looked for him, but no sign of him. She then saw a vine hanging from the trees. She tugged at it to make sure it was sturdy enough, then held at it and jumped to take a swing. She perched on the tree beside the tree she where she last stood. She narrowed her eyes and looked around once more. Fortunately, she saw the glint of JAmes' sword, and happily sneaked upon him within the cover of the trees.

James: James was trying to find the nearest pond or some kind of water so he can control it and try to give him a advantage

Lallaine: She'd followed him enough, though he seems like he's lost. That mde Lallaine smile a bit, until she realized what he was finding. There are waterfalls in here.Great, I need to move him away from water, she thought. With Kataigda in her scabbard, she went from tree to tree—as they're just beside each other—until she was ahead of James. Taking note that he hasn't still seen her—though she still needs to be careful—she looked around for something she might use. Fortunately, there near her was a large beehive. Now that's a good chance. She neared him until it was in the reach of the end of her sword. She unsheathed Kataigda and readied herself. Once James was just above the hive, she cut its connection from the tree and it fell down with surprised bees.

James: James heard buzzing and looked up to see Lallaine cut the bee hive down and jump out of the way just so the bee hive didn't break on top of him> "Just wait until I find water" James yelled out to Lallaine

Lallaine: She groaned in frustration. "You can't get away from this, James!" But then something good enough happened. As the hive broke, the bees immediately swarmed and James was the first moving thing they saw. They followed James and reached him, which made Lallaine's frustration lessen.

James: Oh yippy bees James said while he was sprinting for his life away from them until he found a pond and he jumped in.

Lallaine: Great. She took cover from the cavernous trees and rocks around her. She quickly inched towards the pond, sword ready. James wasn't still up. Hope he drowned, or something pulled him down, she thought darkly. But that'd never happen. In her hiding spot far—hidden from James' line of sight—she waited and readied for an attack.

James: James was waiting for the bees to leave him alone. Finally they bees went when he surfaced not even gasping for air

Lallaine: She was watching still. Then James' head popped out from the water and he was...gasping? Well, maybe he forgot that he can breathe underwater. Lallaine took a large and jagged stone and threw it directly at his head whilst she sprinted to another hiding spot.

James: The stone hits James's head but doesn't do much damage cause he is in he water. "Lallaine can't we just fight' James yelled out

Lallaine: "Oh, so now you want to fight? Face-to-face?" she yelled back. "You haven't shown me either of all the skills you know." She stepped out from the boulder she was hiding from and whistled at James to make him look her direction. "Well, whatever," she muttered, rolling her eyes and positioned her sword in front of her. "I'm ready with the things I've learned before, okay?"

James: "I always wanted to fight" James said while walking over to Lallaine

Lallaine: "Okay, let us. But will it only be between weapons? Cause you seriously have an advantage here especially just beside that pond," she pointed out, resting her hands on her hips. "But maybe I could still take it though."

James: "Take this then" James said while making the water in the pond come out just strong enough to push Lallaine off the rock she was on

Lallaine: She was too surprised to move. The wave of water splashed onto her and threw her down the ground. "Dang it, James!" she sputtered, trying to get up with her sloppy clothes and slippery ground. "That wasn't fair!" Well, nothing's fair though, she thought.

She took her sword and looked around. She thought about everything she'd learned in camp as a child of Athena. She saw a huge roll of thick thread near a rock, the brown thread-like structures dangling from the trees around her and some withered long leaves on the ground. She closed her eyes and thought about weaving a wall in front of her. The thread on the ground and from the trees moved towards her, weaving itself in front of Lallaine until it built a not-that-sturdy wall. She could sense James walking near it, and she turned around and ran far away from anything with water. "I'll get you next time!" she yelled as she ran further away.

James: "This a jungle you know, there is water everywhere" James said while walking around the wall

Lallaine: "Cloak-and-dagger would've been fine before," she muttered under her breath whilst running towards the temple. No water around here, though. She waited near a statue of her mother with her sword ready, thinking of a good plan.

James James walk away from the pond and walking into the unknown of the jungle thinking I wonder how big this jungle is

Lallaine: ''How long before he arrives? ''she thought. She waited not-too-patiently and looked at her reflection in the blade. Outside the temple, the sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly and hot, the trees ain't covering it from above. There was water in the middle of the open grounds—no, it wasn't. She inched forward it, and it seemed to be farther away whe nshe realized it was a mirage. ''A mirage in the forest? Well, nothing's impossible. ''She thought about something, then left the mirage alone, and waited for him, knowing he would mistake it as water and throw it upon her. Great idea. She could take his attention to the 'water' as a distraction for him.

James: James finally caught up with Lallaine and said "You're going to get it now" when he saw the water mirage

Lallaine: She was excited about this thing—or maybe nervous, or happy, she doesn't know. She stayed still behind the Athena statue and waited for James to do his act.

James: James kept trying to control the water but it wouldn't move. "Why isn't it working" James said

OOC
How did james know that she was running away from water?

Running away from the pond pretty obvious

That's not a very good reason, dude. Not very specific.
