Evvie let out a cheerful, playful sounding battle cry and a breath of fire into the air as it was announced that the arena as officially underway. She was pumped for all of the awesome combat that was to follow, but in all honesty she still wasn't quite sure exactly how it was supposed to work. Should she just run up and start punching random people? She supposed it would be best to issue a formal challenge to them before doing this, but then who should she challenge? There were so many people around that it made it all the harder to choose. She could maybe attack the person who looked the most powerful. She didn't care about the prize money, so rather then defeat all of the small fry for an easy buck she'd much rather have fun against those who would cause a thrill to run up her spine as she fought. Someone who can take her abilities to the limit in a do or die situation. She wondered if there was anyone around capable of such excitement. That really tough group mentioned in the introduction? She'd want to take them on eventually, of that she was certain. But who else of note was around to fulfill her immediate urges?

While looking around with a confused expression as she pondered such a question, a small group of people perhaps noticed the look on her face and came up to her, asking if she'd like to join them for an upcoming fight. The man who asked, apparently the leader, surprised her because he looked sort of like a half dragon such as herself. Only he felt...different. That same feeling extended to his monstrous companion. They were certainly of some interest to her, but how much she was uncertain. If they were teaming up then the opponent most be pretty powerful. That could be fun. It was at least a good start.

"I'm in! For this battle, at least," She said with a nod, then quickly followed in step behind them, wondering where they were going. It ended up leading them to a cave where some other man stood. This appeared to be a personal vendetta as the winged man let out a rant once they had come face to face. From what she could understand it seemed like their opponent had done something really bad. Rather than a simple fight for fun, perhaps she could help teach this guy a lesson at the same time!

Despite being in tight corridors that restricted her movements, including her flight, she wasn't really considering this problem as of yet. A battle was a battle so she didn't really care much where it took place as long as it wasn't too freezing. Besides, it may even be fun having to fight differently than normal. 

During the moments before the battle she breathed fire onto the gauntlet on her right wrist, causing it to glow and expand over most of her body in the form of cool looking armor, the only type of armor she'd be willing to wear because she'd prefer not wearing any restrictive clothing at all if she could help it. Due to this armor very fitting for her, designed specifically with her in mind, she made an exception and would wear it with pride. She could have it cover her entire body but in this case she left a few parts bare for various reasons. She didn't materialize the helmet, allowing her freedom to blow fire and look around easier. Her wings were left bare just in case she would need them. Her feet were left bare out of personal preference, much preferring to feel what she was walking on, which would help getting a better footing, and in general she just really didn't like having to wear shoes. Her entire body, including her feet, had greatly enhanced durability so had no problem walking on any type of rough terrain, even the rocks of this cave.

She twirled her staff in her hands and then got into a battle stance, right foot behind the left and the tip of the staff pointed towards her opponent. She was standing to Adrian's right and was ready to spring into action the moment the battle began. For right now she would wait and see how the opponent would respond to this, but she didn't have much patience so would strike within a couple of seconds should nothing else happen.
