The attack cut straight through Ryan's body and he looked shocked. Right up until he smiled and dissipated into wind. He reformed away from any large shadows and coughed up some blood. "Nice cut, that would've killed me if I hadn't turned into the wind in time." He looked around at the trees nearby. "Now this won't do at all. Too many shadows." He snapped his fingers and a fireball formed above him. "Let's make this interesting." He flicked his hand in the direction of some trees and grinned. The fireball flew towards the trees and exploded in a flash of fire and light. A forest fire was beginning and was elimaniting all the shadows in the area. "Let's see how you do without your fancy shadows." The wind flared up around him once more and he set himself on fire. He stood there in a defensive position and waited.
