A heavily-scarred black female with lighter brindling and the obvious look of a warrior swaggers in to survey the fighters, and her gaze swings over them to alight on Greed and Cassiel. "Well I do declare," she exclaims, "ain't you two jes' as cute as a couple little buttons? Come along now, let's jes' get out of the way." She leads the pair over to a circle of stones set into a ring in the ground. "Now, you jes' keep yourselves in that there circle, hear? If y'all step out you forfeit the match. I'll declare a winner once y'all are done going hog wild. You go first, sugar," she adds to Greed.

It was on to the next round. He'd been victorious so far, and as prideful as he could be he wouldn't underestimate his opponents. It would be foolish to do that, so when the coydog called him out to fight against another Male, Greed glanced at him for a moment to size him as he walked towards the ring. Cold blue gaze watched his opponent as he tried to assess him, though he wouldn't make any judgment just yet. As he stepped into the circle and listened as the coydog reiterated the rules that he heard many times today, he set his defenses and waited.

When she said he was to go first, he wasted no time. Within a heartbeat or two of being told it was his mov, his hind legs had already coiled in preparation to move. He sprung forward, aiming to come head on. When he was within close proximity, he feigned to his own right and sought to come up beside his opponents left flank. The point of his shoulder jutted forward and he aimed to slam into the softer flesh of his opponents abdomenwhile simultaneously aiming to bite the soft flesh on his thigh. As he did this, his left forepaw struck forward as he sought slam it down and pin his opponents foot to the ground.

Cassiel bristled at the coydog who led them to the ring, but remained silent. His opinion on being called "cute as a button" was irrelevant to the situation at hand, and while he didn't care whether he won or lost he wanted to go as far in this tournament as his skill would take him - not be kicked out before his second round because he'd sassed a referee.

He instead turned his attention to sizing up his opponent, a male almost identical to him in height and build, though he had perhaps a few years on Cassiel. At least he was an ordinary wolf, without any of the nonsense the crazy bitch in his last fight had going on. Cass gave him a curt, unfriendly nod of acknowledgement and set his own defenses as they entered the ring.

Which was good, because the other male wasted no time (Cassiel heartily approved) after the coydog gave the signal, and rushed at Cassiel. Cass braced himself for the impact, but the male instead passed by him. Braced as he was he wasn't as ready to move as he should have been, and while he leaped forward once he realised it was almost too late. Greed's left shoulder clipped Cass' right hind leg before he could make a clean getaway - Cass let the momentum of the hit spin his hindquarters away from Greed, but the male's jaws had caught and scraped bloody furrows along the center of Cass' tail. Luckily since Cass was in motion, the teeth couldn't close fast enough to catch hold, because that might have meant broken vertebrae. The bloody gouges were bad enough.

Continuing to pivot on his forequarters, Cass sought to face Greed's left shoulder, and he threw himself forward in an attempt to slam the point of his right shoulder into the space between Greed's left upper arm and his ribs, twisting his own upper body to his left slightly to try to translate some of his forward motion to the left in an attempt to dislocate the shoulder joint. His jaws he aimed to grasp the back of Greed's neck as close to his ears as possible, to sink his teeth into the muscle and control Greed's head movement.

He managed to clip his opponents behind, teeth also leaving their mark on his opponents tail but Greed kept in motion. As Cassiel pivoted around to charge at him, Greeds continued motion managed to displace Cassiels intended target and instead, his opponents attack would hit Greed in the ribs dead center. That would likely leave bruises later but nothing to be too concerned about. Likewise, his opponents bite was also displaced and instead of grabbing the back of his head, Cassiel bit into the spot between his shoulders. Fur was ripped and he felt blood now as the sting of pain came up. Growling, Grees kicked out with his hind leg in an effort to slam his back paw into Cassiels throat before pivoting around himself with his front legs. He threw himself at Cassiel, hoping his kick had been enough distraction and then he aimed a bite at the younger males throat.

Cassiel jerked back as the other Male kicked a hind leg towards him, setting himself back on his heels to avoid it. The other male then spun to face him, giving Cassiel the moment he needed to regain his balance so when the male charged him Cassiel was able to sidestep to his right away from where Greed was aiming, bringing his jaws to bear in his own defense, aiming a counter bite toward Greed's eyes in retaliation for the attempted attack to his throat, though he was only aiming to hit the males brow. It would seem to be an aggressive move for a spar, but it would have been an instinctive reaction to the attempt at his throat and Cassiel felt he had enough control not to actually cause damage and would hope to set the other male back on his heels and make him wary.

And the winner is...

GREED

CASSIEL must give up by submitting, fleeing or passing out. Totals: Greed: 295.63 Cassiel: 236.85

His opponent sought to retaliate and as Greed put on the brakes and aimed to kick up sand into his opponents face as he tried to come to a dead halt. His tactics seemed to work in some form as the coydog called an end to the match and named him the winner. A satisfied growl rumbled in his throat as blue eyes flashed with amusement towards his opponent. He jumped away from Cassiel as teeth flew towards his face, pulling his head back just in time to feel the rush of his opponents hot breath practically brushing the fur on his face. Satisfied he had another victory in his belt, he curtly nodded to the younger Male before turning away and headed off. He had been doing well so far, he just needed to keep it up and hopefully win this thing.
