Description

Jecht slammed his sword into the ground, cursing as it slipped through his hand, slicing it open. "Damn downpour." He growled, glancing up as the sky flashed with distant lightning. Seaspray only added to the torrential assault to his person, and he shook his head, droplets flying from his hair. "Don't think I can't see you up there, pretty boy." He called to the dark cliff face above him.

Another flash of llightning lit up his opponent's face, and Firion stared him down coolly. He remembered this boy, knew him from...somewhere. "Down a few weapons, kiddo?" He called with a smirk, pushing his soaking wet hair out of his face.

"I could say the same about you."

"Too wet, isn't it? Keeps slipping in my hand, bloody nuisance. Don't need it to fight you though, pretty-boy."

Firion's eyes narrowed, and with one gracful leap, he was on Jecht's level.

"Careful, kid. All that armour's gotta be heavy in this weather. You sure you don't wanna sit this one out?" Jecht taunted through his grin, and then, they leapt for one another, fists clenching, eyes wild.


THIS WAS SO FUN. I've never made my characters so involved in the background before, this challenge was a really good one. I chose the rainstorm, then added a little lightning for good measure. This is for round 2 of the second cycle of the art-fighting tournament over at :icondissidiaaces:, and I believe this is the first entry XD

I AM FAST LOL.

Actually, I had to finish fast, I'm on a course for all of November so it needed doing just in case I had no internet access or free time! I loved throwing water everywhere in this picture, and I wanted to play with the effects heavy rain might have on fighters - ie, Jecht being unable to wield his sword properly and Firion having to lighten his load before he fights because rain makes everything so heavy! ALSO. I wonder if using Thunder in heavy rain electrocutes you or your opponent? I wonder if Firion is about to find out...?

I probably have a lot more to say about this but as usual, it's all vanished out of my head. Hope to see some more contestants soon, the first round was soooo amazing, so many talented people!

Much love, guys. :heart:

****EDIT****

MY AWESOME OPPONENT'S AWESOME AMAZING ENTRY:
