ooc - set before Magnus bear attack.

As Sirius had requested, Magnus stood in the center of one of the smaller training rings and prepared for what was to come. Rolling his shoulders and stretching, the morning sun was rising close to it's peak highest in the sky and the tide had sunk back to free the training rings for the training he would be doing today. He'd already done his morning patrol and filled his belly with a fresh meal prior to this and hoped his only student had done the same. Lifting his head to howl, he called for the girl to meet him here. He hadn't introduced himself to her yet, but two birds could easily be killed with one stone today. Eager to get started, he waited centered in the ring for her to appear, hopefully swiftly..

Kaizer was already well up by now. She had been making herself familiar with the territories and making sure she stayed in fit. Eager to start training when she was called she made a swift appearance from where she had been near the location. There was a wolf she didn't reckognize then again she didn't reckognize a lot of them being a new member. The warrior would stand a few feet away and gave a small nod of her head. "Hello, My name is Kaizer it's a pleasure to meet you." he must have been the one who was going to test her skills. She certainly hoped she hadn't gotten rusty. After all it had been months since she had a good spar and who knew how these wolves fought. A new land, a new skill she did suppose.

The girl was quick to arrive and magnus nodded with a smile as she approached and introduced herself. She was young, but grown, and likely had st least some skills already making his task only that much easier. He wasn't much of a teacher, so with his first student likely to already have some experience in the field took a small amount of weight off his shoulders. "Magnus; good to meet you, as well." he started, a small smile finding it's way across his face. "Sirius wants me to assess the skills you have to be a warrior for the Armada one day, hopefully soon. I assume you've had at least some experience sparring before today?" He questioned, tilting his head slightly.

Hopefully soon was right, she didn't want to be left out of the battles just because of inexperience. She had been born and raised in war for gods sake. Regardless the fighting style of these wolves could be far different, not to mention the size of some of them too. Kaizer would still nod her head to her current teacher. "My father had me train among the pack since I was old enough. I fought in a few battles and seiges as well." it had been an unending battle there. Up until her pack had dissolved what with their parents dying. She was an adult now though and being an adult meant no longer harboring those feelings. She had to stand strong and prove her worth.

"Good," he said with a nod after listening to her prior training. Depending on how well she did today, he may not even need to include a lesson and just immediately report his findings to Sirius. Of course, if never hurt to include a lesson, but if things worked out the way he hoped, she'd be more than ready. "We will spar then, to properly assess your skills. Take your place over there and make the first move when you're ready." With a motion of his paw towards the other side of the training ring, he turned towards his own and headed over. Once positioned, he rolled his shoulders once more to stretch and otherwise readied himself for a spar.

Excitement rippled through her as she watched him. Training like this was something that she had been yearning for since she joined the pack. She missed the feeling of blood rushing through her veins, while she might be rusty there was only one way to go from here and that was to improve herself. Magnus got himself into position on the other side of the arena, curiously she looked at him more closely this time. His size, weight, the way his muscles even looked. While in a battle there was no accessing such things but she wanted to take advantage of what was presented to her. After a minute she would lower herself a bit, bending at the knee's. Shifting her tail to match her position with her ears pinned to the back of her head. Kaizer's scruff rolled forward, her toes spreading into the terrain. Her eyes narrowed into slits teeth barring as the muscles around her face tightened in anticipation. Head tucking she considered him for a moment and then lunged. Kaizer made an attempt to hit him on his left side with her own left shoulder jutted out. Her aim was between his front left shoulder and the area where it connected with his neck. Then she tilted her head to the right, jaws aiming towards the front of his ribs. Her upper jaw aimed to gain purchase farther up his back and the lower towards the middle of the ribs. Her tail moved to adjust her weight, limbs distrubing as her center of gravity moved to her right side.

Magnus was ready to test the girls strength and knowledge in the art of battle. While he wasn't a warlord himself, he knew his way around the battlefield and would hopefully be able to give Sirius some good news about this girl. They needed good warriors in the Armada and there was no such thing as too many. Better to be over prepared than under prepared if something were to happen.

It didn't take but a second for the girl to lunge towards him, her shoulder jutting out to make contact with him. Magnus braced for the impact, his legs spread wide and head lowered a bit. He moved his own left shoulder down a bit to hopefully make contact with her as she ran into him, yet still felt the sting of her teeth against the flesh on his neck. Magnus hissed and pulled himself free of her teeth just to reach down and snap at her rear left leg, hoping to grab it without much injury to the flesh.

Blood rushed into her ears folded against her head. This may have been practice but the rush she felt was something she remembered. The pounding of paws, the growling of others around her. Kaizer felt him shifting underneath her. His head was aiming towards her rear left leg. Her toes spread for traction, shifting to her right in an attempt to get away from his purchase. Magnus' teeth scratched her leg causing only a minor scratch to bleed where her fur was thin. Kaizer kept her ears against her head, eyes narrowed and her scruff pulled forward. In that moments notice she attempted to reach over the left side of his body. Aiming to purchase in the middle of his back her upper jaw towards the right side of his body and the lower jaw to the left. Kaizer didn't want to injure him too harshly but she wanted to show her prowess in battle. She was worthy of being a part of this army.

His teeth made contact against her leg, but it wasn't enough to grab hold or hinder her much. Of course he wasn't trying to injure the student, but he did need to test her abilities and one of those had to be how they fought with pain. At least his teeth had managed to scrape and draw some blood, though. The minor pain from the injury didn't seem to slow her down and she was quick to reach over his back and aim for a place he could hardly protect. His scruff had been raised from the excitement of the spar, but besides that hardly any defense could protect his back.

Teeth scraped against his flesh as he felt the fur moisten in her mouth, but thankfully it wasn't much to hurt. Too much movement on his end however and fur would be ripped from his back and that would hurt. He had to be careful to not move too much to cause that to happen. Besides, having her stuck to him in such a way would give him the advantage in knocking her down, with her weight placed differently than what was natural. Being stuck in such a way gave him a limited option for fighting back however. Too much pulling to lower his head and go for the tender underside would result in hair pulling, but he could likely easily reach for the same hold she had on him. With a little extra effort, Magnus lowered a bit before rising up, hopefully knocking her loose if her grip was loose enough to allow her jaw to slam into his shoulders at the motion, and reached to grab hold of the same place she had him by.

Well it didn't end where she wanted it to. She felt frustration bubble in her as she fell backwards panting and lowering her head. The obvious defeat made her face snarl for a moment. Kaizer hoped this didn't mean she failed the test. No matter Magnus had seen her potentional and if he was impressed enough maybe that would work. He was far more experienced than she was, then again she had never fought in Boreas before today. "How did I do?" she asked tiredly licking her wounds. That was a rush! To be overpowered like that though. Kaizer had only been like that once it was terrifying. In a real battle it could mean life or death. It could mean she wouldn't be able to serve Aslatiel where she needed her. Kaizer looked at Magnus her ears pointed forward, she needed to know.
