Relaxing. *Open*

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

Yeligar has been training and traveling the world, that he has been paranoid. Profeta told him that he needs to relax, so he to the springs at Ardeo City, and relax there. He took off his shirt and placed it on Tempesta, His lance. He sat at the edge and looked at the water. He couldn't help but think about the current state of the world.
"The Saints, the Sumatas... The world is really that messed up." He said as he took off his eye patch, revealing the hole in his head. He splashed some water in his face, and looked at the Dark sky. He lit up a small cigar as he thought everyone he fought.

[Maliciferum]

"You know, what you hold between your fingers is the deadliest plant in the world." Malice stepped out of shadow and walked towards Yeligar Maelstrom, the legendary warlord. "Only one botanical beauty surpasses it...ME." Malice raised his hands with his last word, encircling himself and Yeligar with thick, impenetrable vegetation. "Ive come to test the power of my plants, and to test you. Defeat me, and i will join your cause. If you fall, it will be for eternity."

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"...ugh," He said as he stood up and pressed the cigar into the palm of his hand, putting it out. "I came he to relax, and I get into another fight." He looked at his shirt, and tossed it off of his lance, and it was on the edge of the spring. He pulled the lance out of the ground, and looked at him Looks like plants is his specialty. If he is strong, he could be very helpful. He looked at the blades sticking out, and he pressed the white blade in, as he pointed it at Malice.
"Can I at least know your name?" He asked, as the tip of the lance was covered in ice.

[Maliciferum]

"I am Herba Maliciferum. You can call me Malice." Malice was undaunted by the mans weapon of ice. "Now, show me how strong you are." Malice put extra emphasis on the word "strong", and in an instant, the vegetation surrounding the men bloomed in extraordinary colors. The air was filled with a sweet scent. Luminous pollen danced in the air.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"Ok, let us starrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttt..." He said as he started to look around, everything was blurry, like time had slow down around him. Must be that pollen. He thought as he scraped the air and small balls of ice were form. "Iiiiicccccceeeeee ttrial." He said as the ice started to zoom at Malice and icicles were being shot out from the trail they left.

[Maliciferum]

Malice managed to dodge most of the ice shards, but one struck him in the shoulder. The ice wasnt able to penetrate his living clothing, but Malice could feel the immense cold from the projectile. "Surprisingly fast, even with the pollen..." Malice thought to himself, trying to shake off the chill. Malice kneeled and forced his taloned fingers into the ground. He began sensing long dormant roots and seeds in the earth, and brought them to life. "Gaia trap!" the underground vegetation sprang to the surface around Yeligar, bringing with it large slabs of rock from under him.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

Yeligar was forced into the air, and he lost his scene of balance. He tried to find Malice but he too disoriented to see him. "Snowball bomardment!" He said as he fling his lance around like a madman, with the tip was firing snowballs.

[Maliciferum]

"Shit!" Malice cried as snowball hit him in the face. He shook the snow from his dark hair, then grew an umbrella from a nearby branch to shield him from any other snowballs. Malice crossed his arms in front of himself then swung them outward "Rosary Assault!". From his arms shot hundreds of needle-like thorns.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"What?" He asked as he was being hit with most of the needles, making him coming crashing down to the ground. He stood up as he swept the needles off of him. He finally got a good look at Malice, and he pulled out the white blade, and inserted the green one. "Gale fortress." He said as the wind started to swirl around him, and cleared the air for him to breath.

[Maliciferum]

Malice let out an evil snicker "You're smarter than you look..." Malice swept a graceful arm in front of himself, and as he brought it back a glowing orb of focused geomantic energy formed in his hand "...Deep despair!" Malice released the orb and it flew through the air in an arc. The orb collided with the ground near Yeligar, and exploded. Rocks, crystals, razor sharp leaves, and a cloud of dust shot in every direction.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

A giant dust cloud was around the attack, then it started to swirl, and then it swirled around Yeligar's lance, making it longer than the lance was before. "Nice move..." He said as he ran over and stabbed at him.

[Maliciferum]

After dodging six or seven jabs from his opponent, Malice used his geomantic power to push himself away from the ground and glided gracefully above and behind his attacker. Malice focused the power he recieved from the sorceress long ago into an energy field under the feet of Yeligar. "There is no running from this pain...Black Sun!" Malice released the dark energy, which shot upward, taking Yeligar with it. Malice pushed himself from the ground again, racing towards Yeligar, and with one powerfull swipe of his talons, Malice destroyed the part of Yeligars lance he had formed from his previous attack.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

After the attack, Yeligar was on one knee and breathing heavy. He looked up and then said, "... Tornado trap." A giant tornado surrounded Malice, and the dark wind gave Yeligar the cover he needed. He release the other blades, and when the tornado died down, the 4 other blades were at the side and back of his neck, while his lance was at the front, touching his adam's apple.
"Want to call it?" He asked.

[Maliciferum]

Malice had never been trapped like this before. With a small jerk, Malice forced the ruffle on his collar to grow and knock the blades around his thin neck away from him. "Very well. You have proven yourself a formidable opponent and valuable ally. I shall join you in your quest. If you need me, all you have to do is call my name." and in an instant Malice vanished, leaving behind only a few leaves floating in the wind. The vegetation around Yeligar receded, leaving no trace of it ever being there.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"... You were an worthy foe, and you are a strong ally. I am glad we are fighting on the same side, instead against each other now." He said as he put his lance back into the ground and put his shirt back on the lance. He sat in the water again, and started his cigar up again.
