Forest Dweller

Your energy motivates you, but mainly thoughts of Ayla are what cause it to grow. Leaping back, you feel yourself able to cling to the wall easily. The energy seems to stick to it, so you run up it, hoping he will follow. He takes the bait and you swiftly unleash small portions of your energy, connecting them solely to your mind. You rush around the walls and he dodges the little portions of energy easily, shooting fireballs constantly. You leap back and forth to avoid them and then continue running around the walls, attempting to plant energy at as many points as possible. When you're sure you're at the limit, you drop to the ground and ignite the energy with your mind. Your thoughts empower it, until a green tornado covers the entire ceiling. You hear yells of anguish as Elk is thrashed around, then as the energy clears he falls to the ground. Weakly he gets up.
"Well done."

Were you ever knocked down during this fight? (Or had Elk succeed in connecting any attack against you)
