OK.

Carlton didn't know you could duel from the ground. He hadn't actually thought that was a possibility. He had never dueled before, he hadn't even seen a duel before so the green sparks that Abey cast from the floor (how cool was that?!) caught him off guard.

Again with the distractions!

He swatted at the sparks but that didn't make them disappear. Knowing now, that Abey used the sparks as a distraction he was at least a little prepared that it would come a second spell towards him. He could make out something blue in the distance and he got terrified.

TERRIFIED.

Nothing could prepare him for that spell! NOTHING. Flames shot towards him and he did the only thing he could think of; protect his head. He immediately ducked, throwing his arms above his head to protect it from the flames. In the process, he dropped his wand and it rolled away from him.

NO! COME BACK, COME BACK, COME BACK!

After a few moments, Carlton opened one eye to peek around him and noticed with a relief the flames had swirled right on past. He did NOT want to be a human torch. No thank you, NOPE.

GOOD BYE.

The fear of ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, BEING ON FIRE, he scrambled after his wand, picked it up and aimed it at Abey. Eh, spell. Right... "Bulla!" Wait no. Bubbles came shooting out of his wand and he frowned. That wasn't nearly as terrifying as the flames that Abey shot. He needed another spell.

"Diminuendo!" Because stop this nonsense RIGHT now!

Be small, Abey. Actually, be tiny. So Carlton can pick you up, hand over to Han Solo Professor Hirsch and join his friends on the stands to catch the other duels.
