Sorcerer arrived to the next encounter, in some pain after his last fight but still with the energy to fight once again. He stood before a pup of red shades like the horned female he fought way before. Not sure if they were family or not he gave the other male a nod as he did his best to set the very few defenses he knew of. Ears pinning,hackles rising and narrowed eyes. "Hope you have fun as I do!" And there he waited for the other pup to start if so he wished to do. Ready he faced the red-coated wolf waiting for any sign of starting or anything else.

The first fight was barely a fight since the first opponent didn't even try and due to there not being an even number of opponents for the second round he didn't even have to fight in that round so for the most part Ciná hadn't been impressed at all with this "tournament". He sat on the sidelines watching the other wolves fight with a frown. He wanted to fight! He thought about the good fight that he had gotten to do with Onyx back home and the wrestling he did with his siblings a lot and that had been way more fun than any of this had been and he hadn't had to travel all this way to do it!

When they finally moved on to the next round of fighting and he got called up to face a white and black marked boy he immediately hopped up, eager to hopefully have a real fight after all this waiting. He planted himself across from Sorcerer, a wide grin across his lips. They were of course close to the same age because of the way they had the fights broken up, but he was a good bit larger than the other boy - which he would of course use to his advantage. Why not use every advantage possible, right?

"Yeah!" he agreed as he got into the defensive, fighting stance that he had been taught and only gave his opponent a moment to do the same before rushing forward to kick things off, much to excited to actually be fighting to wait much longer. He started with trying to jump up slightly to wrap his forelegs around the smaller boy's neck while throwing his weight at the other boy, hoping to knock him off balance as well. He also dove in with open jaws toward the back of Sorcerer's neck just to try and get as many points of contact on his opponent as possible.

Up to this point, he had only fought wolves close to his own side, either being smaller or matching him in both height and built. But now, someone way larger than himself was his opponent, this made him a bit nervous as he didn't have the skills yet to counter a larger wolf's attack. What could be do? But there was no time for him to think as the larger male rushed toward him, well he maybe wasn't as taller but he could be quicker? He could only wait and see by trying, but he wasn't that confident as he wasn't a good fighter yet. Quickly as Cinead went to try placing his legs around Ceres and then bitting him in his upper neck , with hope to save himself from it  the white and black pup attempted to move his body and head to his right aiming to avoid Cinead's embrace, but he wasn't quick enough to fully avoid it as his legs still got around him but not completely. By moving his head too, hopeful the bite to the back of his skull wouldn't be finding the desire mark but he still felt Cinead's fangs on his neck. Quickly he aimed to small his shoulder into Cinead's chest, wanting to use the larger's pup's position to try knocking the air from home or at least cause pain.

Cináed more or less got his paws draped around the other boy's neck, but it wasn't as firm of a hold as he wanted since the boy tried to dodge away but didn't quite succeed. But since he didn't get all the way away he was able to catch the skin on the back of Sorcerer's neck, just further down than he had originally intended. His teeth landed in the loose skin closer to the boy's shoulders, but if gave him enough of a grip to be able to maintain a hold on his opponent so that was all that really mattered. Although, the one draw back to this plan was that it was impossible to avoid Sorcerer slamming his shoulder into his chest with them being in such close confines together. He grunted and grimaced around the mouth full of Sorcerer's fur as his chest got bruised and it knocked the air out of his lungs for a moment. He refused to let up though, keeping his teeth clamped down around that bunch of loose skin despite how much his chest hurt. He attempted to tighten his forelegs around his opponent's neck as he shuffled a bit closer and started trying to put more weight onto the boy's back to try and shove him to the ground. It was his first real fight in the tournament and he was gonna win!

His failed dodge allowed his opponent's teet to now have a hold into the loose skin on one of his shoulders, and the pressure Cinead's jaws were applying flooded his nerves with pain. Closing his eyes due to the pain was made instantly but he had to hold on, either he won or lose he needed to give his best. His slam though had given better results than his other move, but it still didn't make Cinead's bite lose their hold. And as time went through, Sorcerer felt how the red and black boy placed even more weight on his back, trying to submit him down. But the Klein boy wasn't going to give up with that, and quickly he aimed to repeat his previous attack by once again slamming his shoulder into Cinead's chest, hoping to do it harder this time.

Despite his best efforts, Cináed couldn't seem to get Sorcerer to submit and the monochrome boy held firm under him trying to push him down to the ground. Instead, his opponent slammed his shoulder hard into his chest again, aggravating the spot that was already bruised and sore and making him wince more against the pain. The boy's shoulder digging into that sore, bruised spot combined with the pressure that shoved the air from his lungs finally made Ciná have to give up his hold on the boy. He let go of the other boy's scruff and jumped down off of his back, staggering away from him with a scowl. "Fine, you win or whatever," he grumbled as he turned away and escaped back out into the crowd, pouting and skulking as he went to get out of this dumb, pale forest and wait for his siblings to get done with their fights so they could all just go home.
