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"
