With a flash of light, Shio's longtime companion, her Ohitsuji took his place beside her.

"The metaphorical island may remain yours, but I will not let this one go," Shio replied, despite the fact there was no island even remotely near them, unless you considered the entirety of the continent they were on an island. In which, then yes, they could be having a battle over an island, but that would probably be a stretch. For now, they were about to do battle in the boughs of a massive cherry tree.

Shio was a bit disappointed this challenge had restricted her use of her families special brand of magic, as well as her throwing knives. This restricted her a bit more than she liked, but it was the case for this battle. She would have to put more faith in the teamwork of her Ohitsuji. 

However, the large arena gave her some options. Starting far back in the Arena, Shio had a reserved position. The approach of Mythrael's shadow was a serious consideration for Shio's position. Immediately she took off at a brisk pace along a left circle of the Arena. Shio needed to see Kiyo's tactics in action before she responded. Ohitsuji opted to take to the air, following along within ten feet of Shio, wary of the approach of the Mythrael's shadow.
