- Both very deep and shallow water areas, ranging from 20 feet deep to a few inches
- A tunnel deep down goes out to the ocean where other creatures could be called in
- There's plenty of dry areas as well for users not Palaemon or Poseidon kids, that are covered with anything ranging from sand to grass to some small vegetation/shrubs
- There are some trees around the sides of the arena and below the cliffs (not shown in picture) that can be used for cover and provides plenty of places for shadows
- There are also cliffs around parts of the Arena, ranging in height, with both water and land below them, the cliffs also cast shadows on the arena below
- The arena is open to the sky and elements
- On each end of the arena, on top of some large pillars, are pyres, full of fire and wood. 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.

Nemo: As the signal sounds to start the fight, Nemo quickly dives into a deep channel of water and assumes his shark form. He hopes that, if all goes well, the water will help slow any projectiles his opponent may fire while also allowing him to close the distance between them very quickly.
Bela: She puts a hand on her knife belt, careful not to waste her knives. She skirts around the ee of the cliffs, trying to locate Nemo.
Nemo: He glances upwards to verify her position at the edge of the cliff before propelling himself up out of the water with a powerful flick of his tail. He changes back to his human form mid-air and swings his short swords at her as lands nearby.
Bela: She is taken by surprise, but then parries the attack with a pair of twin knives. She gets a cut on her arm, but swings her knives at Nemo.
Nemo: The momentum of his leap attack carries him forward too far and he is unable to dodge out of the way of the return swings. Luckily, the blade that connects with his chest is partly deflected by his armor and the wound is barely a scratch. The other bites deep into his arm though. He drops one of his swords as pain shoots through the arm. With blood in the air though, his shark senses come alive and his only instinct is to press the attack. He tries to use the close quarters to his advantage and puts all of his weight behind an attempt to tackle his opponent.
Bela: She uses her intrinsic power to dodge the attack, by doing a shoulder roll to the right. However she trips, and one of her knives are lost. In a blur of instinct, she throws her other knife at Nemo, and runs to collect the fallen blade.
Nemo: He falls to the ground as his tackle misses and Bela spins away. His downward momentum carries him out of the knife's path for the most part and it deflects off of the armor covering his shoulder. He hits the ground with a grunt, but his frenzied state helps him ignore the pain in his arm and he is quickly back on his feet, chasing after the retreating Bela with bared shark teeth showing in his mouth.
Bela: She makes a beeline for the water, feinting a jump. She gives the illusion that she jumps, but instead glides safeley to a ledge. From there she throws another of her throwing knives, aiming at Nemo's arm
Nemo: He jumps after her, thinking she dove down all the way. On the way down, his keen sense for blood tells him something is not right and he turns just in time to see her on the ledge as he rockets past her position. He sees a quick flash right before her thrown knife pierces his already injured arm. He leaves a small crimson trail behind him as he plunges back into the water.
Bela: She uses the trail of blood to locate where Nemo is. Careful not to waste her knives, she glides close to the edge of the water, before throwing another knife at him. Unfortuatley, her power flails an she falls into the water.
Nemo: As the water slows both the momentum and power of Bela's throw, he has no trouble defelcting it harmlessly to the side. He then decides to make the most of having his opponent in the water by shifting back to shark form and biting at her leg, trying to pull her further into the water.
Bela: The bite grabs her leg, and Bela screams in pain. Using her power to increase her reflexes and speed, she attempts to stab a knife at his snout, knowing that it is the weakest spot of the Shark.
Nemo: As the knife cuts a line down his snout, everything goes white with sensory overload. He can't help but release his grip on her leg. He thrashes and bites blindly at where he thinks she is, hoping to land any kind of hit or at least keep her at bay while his senses clear.
Bela: Nemo thrashes at her injured leg as she tries to swim away to safety. She reaches a ledge and clambers upon it. She uses some leaves from nearby shrubbery to act as a bandage for her leg, before noticing she only has two remaining knives.
Nemo: As his senses begin to clear, he looks around for where Bela has gone to and speeds after her. He leaps up out of the water and onto the ledge she retreated to. He moves quickly towards her with his sword at the ready, thinking through some quick attack possibilities, since the match time must be close to ending.
Bela: Upon hearing Nemo's footsteps, she makes a beeline for a nearby tree, with her two remaining knives. Upon the tree, she conceals herself with some of the leaves and throws a dagger at Nemo, aiming for his leg.
Nemo: He groans as the knife hits home. He pulls it out and tosses it aside, thankful that the armor stopped it from penetrating deeper. With a noticeable limp, he moves in the direction that the knife had to have come from, keeping an eye out for any sign of his opponent.
Bela: Panicking now, as to her lack of knives; she tries to create a diversion by throwing a lose branch past a few trees, giving the illusion that she is jumping from tree to tree.
Nemo: He turns slightly to follow the sound briefly before catching a glimpse of Bela back at her original tree. He turns towards her and dashes as qucikly as he can, making one desperate jumping slash before time expires.
Bela: She, with great difficulty, parries the attack, getting one cut on her cheek, and slashes at Nemo's chest just as the time finishes.
