Pitched outside the mouth of the cavern, the elemental, being of Earth as well, towered up behind the man before he landed and engulfed him, smashing him down into the Earth. Not done having it's fun the malicous fiend awaited it's toy to resurface. And as if on cue, a hand reached out from the dirt and waved frantically, grabbing onto anything it could get, hoping to find some sort of support. Luckily, the wayward hand gripped a tree root and pulled with a struggling and almost deficient strength. Mix of testosterone and the desperate need for air, it pulled with all it's might. A head emerged and gasped for air.
"What a struggle. Not much unlike escaping from mothers whome... Oh, what an adventure," the boy said sarcastically under his breath while pulling the rest of his body to surface. He collapsed, his chest could be seen raising and lowering after inhaling the oxygen into his starving lungs.
The elemental lumbered forth; the boy jerked as the ground thundered. The elemental stomped it's pillar of a leg downwards towards the boys head; he moved. Rolling away, he found his sword imbedded in the trunk of a tree. He jumped to his feet and sped for the artifact. The elemental was busy checking the bottom of it's foot for a mess. The boy took hold of the handle and pulled on the sword. Stuck in deep, he pulled harder, unfortunatley, he let out a struggling grunt and the elemental looked towards him. Immediatley the elemental was on it's way to him. The boy struggled even more.
Closer, louder, the thundering of the elementals increasing pace shook the area around them. The boy looked back only to duck as fast as he could for a large, bouldered fist swung out and shatter the tree. This was most fortunate though. The boy fell to his rear end as the tree was sent in spilinters all around, but he look down to find he had his sword again.
The sword he held was a twisted blade indeed. The blade extended a ways and then curved almost immediatley and finished off into a cruel, sharp point.ing of Earth as well, towered up behind the man before he landed and engulfed him, smashing him down into the Earth.

The sword he held was a twisted blade indeed. The blade extended a ways and then curved almost immediatley and finished off into a cruel, sharp point. It shone like the sun as he swung it into his lumbering foes back.
Snicker-snack, the sword cracked as it sliced through the monsters back. With a sizzling and a snap the elemental fall into two pieces, cut right across the waist. Though it was falling apart at the moment, it would pull itself together. Taking his chance, the boy stabbed through the chest of his attacker Smiling, he withdrew his sword and jumped into the air. The currents picked him up and he rode them. Flying to saftey, he left the elemental behind only to tell of his triumphs later.
"Quite clever," his smile was wry and concieted.
