Shay Kendall Vs. Katarina Rookwood

Keep in mind a few key things:

1. Bring the arena surroundings and maybe a little background into the story. The stage will be the same for everyone and feel free to manipulate it with magic.

2. Try to keep your posts to a MAXIMUM of 8 paragraphs. This is a duel, hurry and get down to work.

3. While in a duel your character will not have the time to cast hundreds of spells. For this reason, you are limited to casting a MAXIMUM of 3 spells per post.

4. Remember: Your characters are not invincible. Be realistic. Even though they will not die in this competition, let them get hurt if you feel your opponent has made a great attack.

5. Also, unless your opponent reveals themselves, you do not know one another. Keep in mind that you cannot hear their thoughts and predict their every move. You will be asked to edit your post should you act upon knowledge your character does not have.

6. Whoever is the second duelist to post MUST play off of what their opponent has established. Note: You do not have to make an attack on your opponent during every post. You can instead defend yourself and stage a greater series of events along the way.

7. Everyone will have a designated time in which to post. Do not keep you opponent waiting any longer than necessary and please try to avoid last minute posting. We want this to be as fair as possible and that will take a little work from all of us. If you are going to be unable to post please send a Private Message to Demetri Gamble so new arrangements can be made.


If you haven't already, please read the RULES to dueling. If you are unfamiliar with how to write a duel read this simple SAMPLE.

The Scene:You and your opponent have entered a small underground arena. There are trees, shrubbery as well as large and small boulders all throughout the area. A pond resides in the center of the arena and fog continuously rolls off its banks. Your peers surround the arena to watch the duel. Demetri walked to the center of the arena. "Let's begin," he said as a light flashed from his wand leaving the duelists to take over the scene.

Shay stood motionless, hands in her coat pocket and watched two person dueling. She knew she was next. The black half mask, she had received in a little pack, was in her suitcase at Gryffindor’s dormitory. She had no reason to hide her face. She hadn´t even seen familiar faces, since almost everyone was wearing a mask. Shay was sure, she was able to fight against adults, but she decided she´ll fight against students, at least during the first few duels. She first needed to see how this dueling actually works.


Adriana had been the first one to enter the arena. Now, she looked around and memorized all the arena's smallwares. The girl wondered, who her opponent might be. For some reason, she though her opponent will be a girl, but she wasn´t entirely sure about that. The girl took her hands out from her blue coat’s pocket and pulled out her wand from her jeans pocket. She was ready to fight.

“Let´s begin,” Shay heard a man saying and the smoke vanished. Girl heart started to beat faster and Adriana felt a little bit nervous. She raised her wand and looked her opponent. She didn´t know what her opponent’s strategy was, but she couldn´t lose the change to make the first move. Ade needed this and had to hurry.

“Verdimillious!” Shay screamed and quickly casted charm. This spell has several effects, so she had to be sure, she moved her wand it a right way and said spell right. It worked. Green light bursted out from Shay´s wand and if it's going to work, the spell will cause green sparks and green electrical discharge to explode and crackle all around Ade’s enemy, hurting her/him.
