OCL Round 1: Pinnley vs Katalia - Elemental Constructs

Prompt

As the Academic Collective is a group of fine scholars and not battle-blinded hooligans, our first challenge is meant to test your skill without the risk of injury. For the first round, each combatant will summon a construct made of their latent element to fight the opponent’s construct. Combatants who choose to engage in further rounds are suggested to take this as a warning shot– the following challenges will not be so gentle.

Create an elemental construct and defeat your opponent’s elemental construct. You may depict your character and their elemental construct, the two elemental constructs fighting, or both you and your opponent with both of your elemental constructs.

As Pinnley entered the arena to face Katalia, he did so with the intention of winning non-violently. Summoning their constructs, the two began their battle - a dance of flames which lit up the arena in spectacular colour as Pinnley quickly initiated one of his staple moves.. fire lights! Summoning the bright orbs of fire from his construct, they quickly detonated, bursting into large fireworks of dazzling pink and blue flame. Using their bright flashes as cover, his construct took to dodging, ducking, and weaving around Katalia's - wearing it and her down slowly, demonstrating a show of control and endurance over his flames, rather than strength or bursts of might. That being said, it was not easy - Pinnley had to commend Katalia for her own endurance as well, as she was nearly able to keep up with his. Ultimately though, Pinnley's construct prevailed, swiping through the center of Katalia's as it began to flicker and die out; setting off a few last fire lights as it combined with the flame of Katalia's construct, creating a fantastical show of fireworks, flashing the colours of both of their flames - winning Pinnley his first round!
