The lizard spins next to the waterfall; shields against the energy of the cave!
The old geezer barely manages to spin and try avoiding his foe's non-attack while launching one of his own. After he stops spinning, he holds up his walking stick to shield himself as best he can...

Woe laughs. "Well, for this being one of the first combats to bring back the old ways, this sure is strange. A lizard spinning isn't very offensive, but nor is a wind becoming one with the clouds; protecting and shielding are both well and good, but neither is very effective when there's no attack to deal with!"
She smiles. "However, getting down to it, a lizard spinning could be more deadly than a cloud."
Point Sho-zu!
1 Flag Tarasal, 1 Flag Sho-zu

The trident demolishes the waterfall and becomes one with the sands; leaps over the rising of the venom! *yen*
The old man stabs out with the metal clad end of his walking stick right at the eyes of the young man. Yanking the stick back, he then leaps aside to grab at a shiny coin lying on the ground nearby...

Woe closes her eyes in thought. "Neither move affects the other very much. A trident demolishing a waterfall is certainly more impressive than a staff bowing; however, quelling the rising of a tide is more effective than leaping over rising venom..."
"I think that Sho-zu wins this one, only due to his offense being so much more effective."
Point Sho-zu!

The old man stumbles suddenly, missing a tricky step, and falls right toward the dodging younger man. At the last second though, he plants his feet and launches into an attempted surprise headbut manuever! Not hurting the old mans thick skull at all, the move will hopefully put the whipersnapper down for the count...
The unicorn painlessly sucker punches the ravine; dodges the speed of the sands!

Woe laughs at the old man's maneuver. "Well done. I think that your offense is much greater than that of Tarasal, and as neither defense is very effective..."
Match Sho-zu!
Match Sho-zu!

The old man bounces off young man's forehead and lands back on the ground where he does a back roll that leaves him planted in a crouched defensive position with one arm on the ground between his feet. As he stops moving, the dark glasses which had covered his eyes fall away in two broken pieces to reveal the glazed white orbs of a blind man!
Cocking his head to one side, the old man hears no movement from his opponent and realizes that he has won the match. Slowly, and with a series of audible cracks, the old man stands up and straightens his back as much as possible. Pulling on a nearly invisible cord, Sho-zu yanks his walking stick back into his hand before slowly hobbling over to the young man who battled him.
"You fought pretty good, fer such a young whippersnapper.", the old man says as he reaches out to give Tarasal a helping hand up. Suddenly, as their hands touch, there is a shock of electricity between them! The old man pulls his hand away in surprise and verbally lashes out at Tarasal, "Now there's no reason to go pulling tricks like that just because I beat you fair and square! You kids today, I swear! No respect for you elders!"
Sho-zu stalks off, still muttering and cursing beneath his breath. But Tarasal and Woe would swear that the old man seems to be walking just a little taller now, and weren't his eyes completely white just a moment ago instead of the milky blue that they seemed just now?
