Dimor's eyes narrowed, now more piercing than they had been in a while. His fingers flexed slowly at his sides and he seemed in deep thought for a moment. Then all at once, he seemed to be completely... at ease; he wasn't even really glaring anymore. His shoulder shook slightly as though he were laughing, but of course, being Dimor, he wasn't really laughing. "How very... interesting." Things had actually worked out better than he'd thought they even could. Dimor held his hands in front of him with his palms aimed toward his chest, fingers spread. The rings flashed for a moment; one red, one green. ((Christmas! )) "The stories behind these wouldn't interest you; but as to exactly how you came to possess that one would greatly interest me."

"I know enough to know that you want this ring," he said with a snicker. "I don't see how you missed it. It was just sitting there in a cave, totally open." He took out a kunai with yellow tape around its handle and prepared to throw it. Just before it left his hands, it began glowing with a bright light, and as it flew toward Dimor it left a shining streak in the air. "I also know that there is no possible way you will get this ring from me. It's too useful." He started spinning, fading into a swirling purple and black human-sized tornado. Wind rushed away from as he moved toward Dimor, though he was still moving fairly slowly. When he got closer, it became apparent that tiny blades were forming and fading repeatedly at the outer edge of the vortex.

((Was the kunai meant to scare him?))
Dimor had only been in a cave up on a moment, and the Ring hadn't been there, so how was he to have noticed it? The 'relaxed' look didn't waver as Damon attacked. Following a small flash of green, a spike of earth shot up in front of the Drow and blocked the kunai. "But they are so much more useful once the set is complete." When the vortex got closer, Dimor jumped unnaturally high into the air and seemed to stick to the lighthouse wall. Actually he had put a hand and part of his leg into the shadows located there; a nifty trick.

((Not really, more of a distraction so he wouldn't notice when Damon-*assassinated*)) "What's wrong?" Damon asked from just above Dimor. He was standing on the wall as if it were the ground, shaking his head. "Do you really have to do that? It seems so pointless." He placed a hand against Dimor's head and leaned there, the other hand on his waist. "You really are a funny one." Meanwhile, the other Damon stopped spinning and retrieved his kunai, watching the two on the side of the lighthouse. "I learned to walk on walls, ceilings, and even water ages ago. Your trick is clever, but obsolete."

Was Damon... touching him? Why that little-... In another instant, Dimor had broken apart into nothing but fragments of shadow that soon merged with the darkness on the wall. Moments later, half of his body- from the waist up- seemingly 'grew' from the wall a few feet to the side of Damon. Letting his arms dangle uncaringly, Dimor's eyes locked with Damon's. "I don't deal in 'tricks'. Trickery, maybe, but never 'tricks'." With a twitch of his fingers, about a dozen or so shadow blades shot up from the ground, aimed straight for Damon. Of course, Damon would probably just poof away, but Dimor didn't particularly care.

Damon continued to hold his position, moving to stand normally on the wall only when Dimor reappeared... halfway. As the blades came up toward him, he performed a quick series of hand signs and released a powerful blast of wind from his mouth, knocking them back down. "You're too one-sided. A ninja can get a foot in the door from numerous angles. Plus, you remind me of a pirate, and pirates are just plain inferior." He crossed his arms, staring down at Dimor. "Are you done yet? Or did you want this?" He removed his ring, tossing it away from the wall. It fell, a good distance out from the lighthouse, toward the ground.

Dimor agreed; pirates are inferior vermin. Was he a pirate? Not in the least. Was he one-sided? Possibly, though probably not. He watched the ring fall. He doubted it was the real thing so he didn't waste to much effort in collecting it. With another twitch of his finger, a small pool of shadow formed on the ground and then shot up and swallowed the trinket. His gaze never left Damon's, and still it didn't have its usual harshness about it. "There's no hurry."

"Wow. To be honest, you're proving more predictable than I'd expected." ((xD I really did figure he'd do that.)) There was a swirl of smoke, and the ring solidified in his hand once more. "Presto. Maybe if you had exerted the effort to go after it yourself, I'd have let you keep it." he slid the ring back onto his finger and shrugged. "Damn, I wish I knew how to snap. It would be so badass to just snap and do this." As he finished his sentence, a dome of electricity formed around Dimor, then closed in around him. Damon didn't doubt Dimor could escape it, but he might as well continue testing him.

Just beneath the plasma, a dome of Dimor's creation appeared, this one, of course, made of shadows. The electric substance pressed against it, eventually weakening it until all together collapsing in on itself. But Dimor wasn't there; der. He had once again 'melted' into the Lighthouse wall, re-emerging halfway a few feet above Damon. He was now closer to the top of the building than he'd like to be, but, oh well. His head was tilted just the slightest bit to one side. Without another word, Dimor brought up one hand, pressed his thumb and middle finger together, and then applied pressure and slid them to create that oh-so satisfying SNAP Damon longed for ((lol xD)). Simultaneously, black flames shot out from the wall, hungry for Damon's body.
((That last line... sounds SO wrong o.o))

Damon suppressed a snicker, taking out a kunai with black tape around the handle and spinning around, slashing the flames away before leaping away from the wall, fading into smoke. He looped back around and washed over Dimor, mingling in the air around him and waiting for him to breathe.

In almost the same instant Damon infected the air, Dimor pushed from the lighthouse and shot toward the ground in something similar to a spinning dive. Without bothering to slow down, the Drow hit the ground dead on, bursting into shadow upon impact; that wasn't just for show, keep in mind. In this brief state of pure darkness, only Dimor would become shadow and only Dimor would reform. If- as unlikely as it was- Dimor had breathed in Damon, the 'toxin' would be cleansed once Dimor reverted back to a solid body. And that's just what he did a few moments later. Very near the edge of the cliff, with the salty wind blowing against him, there stood Dimor with his back to the lighthouse. 'Despite his arrogance, his power continues prove its worth' That same relaxed air still hung about him. 'And he has made things much more interesting, though as to the authenticity of the ring he possesses, I am unsure'

A second later, there was a rush of wind toward Dimor, which calmed quickly. "Try again," he said, Berstunic transmitting his thoughts. "I can locate you without any of the normal senses and get to you in a snap with the power of wind. You can run all you want, but you'll get nowhere." With a slow swirl, he formed into his solid body once more, standing a few yards away. "As long as you exist, there is no running." He took out a kunai and slashed along the air in a line between them, though it took a moment for the magic he pushed through to take effect. A thin line of earth hissed away into smoke, allowing the chunk of land Dimor stood upon to begin to fall.

Dimor did not turn to face Damon and seemed very disinterested in everything at the moment. "Running? You honestly think I was running from you, child?" The Drow didn't know whether to laugh- which wouldn't happen either way- or to be angry at such an assumption. As the cliff began to crumble, Dimor's head turned to look over his shoulder. That's so unfortunate; it was such a nice cliff, why ruin it? Gesturing with his right hand- that flashed green for a moment- Dimor reformed the dislodged cliff, though, needless to say, it was slightly off-center. Once that was done, Dimor returned his unblinking gaze back out to the sea. Shadow, fire, and earth; elements that would be a waste of time to try and use against him. "Are you done playing yet? I hadn't intended on fighting you." Dimor had simply intended to destory the Lighthouse... Damon just happened to be there, at the time.

"Well, unless you can provide another explanation for you putting distance between you and me as quickly as possible, then yes, I'd say you were running." He waited as Dimor rescued the cliff, having assumed he would. 'He relies on the rings quite a bit,' he thought, failing to suppress a grin. 'Perhaps his shadow abilities simply aren't enough to get by on. That's why he needs the rings so badly.' Damon shrugged, deciding it really didn't matter. "I haven't intended to fight either. I never really get to fight all-out, it's never really needed." He cocked his head to the side, watching him as the light made its rotation past the two of them. "How can you expect me to take you seriously if you worry about little things like a light?"

Dimor raised one hand and seemed to wave Damon off before letting it drop limply back to his side. "Think what you will, I need no explanation."Again, with that same eerie calmness very unlike him, Dimor turn his head to look over at Damon. "I'm a Shadow Elementalist, imbecile, and a Drow who spent years underground; light isn't the greatest thing in the world." Attention once again being brought to look out over the sea, Dimor made no attempt to attack, or even move for that matter. He was thinking. 'He can read his opponents easily, and analyzes the battlefield like one would a game of chess... which is a pointless game to begin with, but strategic none the less' Finally, he turned around completely to face Damon; his eyes narrowed just slightly every time the light passed over him. "You're quite an arrogant child."
((>>...<<...I made his thoughts rhyme :3))
