[h2][color=c4df9b]Kohra Mey[/color] - Colosseum Interior[/h2]

[hr]

Now that she was finally airborne, Kohra wanted to make sure she had the chance to get a feel for it before diving into the chaos. She made a few quick laps of the colosseum, frowning, watching the absolute bedlam unfolding before her eyes. Her take from the instructions had been that applicants would be able to use magic [i]on the spheres[/i] and to use magic against others [i]to defend those spheres[/i], but it looked like a magical bar brawl just to get a hold of any spheres.

Worse, Kohra finally started to appreciate the presence of weapons inside the colosseum. Several applicants wielded wands or swords, and Kohra didn't even have a dagger on her. If it turned into some sort of duel out there, Kohra wasn't sure what she could do. That kind of fighting wasn't her game though. She'd made it through life by staying quick and under the radar, and that was what she decided she'd do. No brawling, just speed and a few little tricks to keep others out of her way and off her tail.

Kohra spotted an angel sphere flitting just outside the central ball of applicants. It was being chased by a small group of mages, but that was going to be the one, she decided, and she dived. It was the most curious feeling, cutting off the flow of mana in an attempt to cause something to happen, but it worked. Kohra fell ten, twenty, thirty feet, feeding mana back into her broom at just the right moment to slow her descent as the toes of her shoes skimmed the stone floor. Above and ahead of her, the group of mages was throwing spells back and forth against each other, each vying for supremacy as they chased the sphere.

[i][color=c4df9b]A tightly packed group of airborne broomsticks. Perfect.[/color][/i] she thought, a wide grin spreading over her face. Clutching her broom with her legs as tightly as she could, Kohra took her hands off her broom and pointed them at the group above and ahead of her.

[color=c4df9b]"Conjure Cyclone!"[/color], she shouted, unleashing a tight spinning ball of air at the group, [b]hoping she could destabilize the group long enough to make her move.[/b] The magic spent, Kohra put her hands back on her broom and poured mana into it, urging it onwards and willing it to corner around the group and the whirling storm she had summoned.

Grin still plastered on her face, Kohra squinted up at the angel sphere she was pursuing. From what she'd seen, these things had enough smarts in them to tell when someone was on their tail. She hoped that whoever had made them hadn't put much thought into having them chack what was below them though.

[color=c4df9b]"Whirlwind Jump!"[/color]

A blast of air rocketed Kohra up past the whirlwind she had conjured. At the same time, one hand released the broom as the other poured more speed and precision into it. She was within arms reach of the sphere! [b]She reached out as she sped nearer, fingers outstretched hoping to clasp them close over the tiny glittering ball...[/b]
