His first match had been quite a way to warm up. He rested for a bit before looking for another. He remained in the same place, stretching his legs and shaking the dust from his fur before throwing his head back and calling for another spar partner. He had the mind to up the stakes this time, but he supposed it all depended on who showed up. He took a deep breath and settled his mind. Calming himself despite his better nature. He didn't particularly like dealing with non-Abraxas wolves...or those that were nowhere near his level of holiness, so to speak. He was a descendant of the fallen God, after all. And while some of the mortals that walked this plane were alright, others were just plain dumb for his taste.

He had travelled up north quite a bit, hoping to find some reprieve from the desert-like conditions. It had taken some time, but eventually the ground greened up with more lush grasses, and some ponds popped up here and there where he could easily slake his thirst when needed. But this place, there was something different about it, and he only had to smell the air to figure out why. The scent of old blood was everywhere, and if he looked close enough he could actually see the dried up bloodstains. It seemed this was some type of free-for-all training ground, or perhaps many battles between opposing packs had taken place here in the past. The call for a spar partner from a wolf in the distance grabbed his attention, and he pondered for a few moments before heading towards them. He figured he could do with another brush up of his skills, and this placed seemed as good of a spot as any. Astrophel briskly moved closer until he was close enough to speak without needing to raise his voice, and he dipped his head in greeting. "If it's a spar you want, I'd be happy to oblige." The other wolf was about the same height, but had a much more muscular and heavyset build, and he mentally prepared himself for a spar in which he would have to be the one to move with more agility and speed in order to win.

It wouldn't take long before someone arrived. Zagan turned his gaze to find a male similar in height to his own, but it was clear that Godling likely outweighed him and definitely out-muscled him. Though the Godling wasn't about to underestimate his opponent, no. He'd be a fool to underestimate someone like that. Mortal or not, he was aware he was still limited in his physical body. Blue gaze looked over the shade of purple that marked the man, and he had to admit that he didn't look half bad. "I hope you're prepared..." He rumbled as he prepared himself. Instead of waiting for formalities, Zagan opted to move first. He suddenly exploded from a standstill, launching at the stranger in an effort to close the distance. He aimed to slam the point of his left shoulder into the other male's chest, head snapping to his left as well as his teeth aimed to grab at the side of the man's neck in a biting grip.

He nodded at the other wolf. Yes, he was prepared well enough for an impromptu spar, maybe a little rusty in some areas, but that was part of the reason why he was here. His skills couldn't be improved upon if he didn't use them, after all. Astrophel squared up his stance, lowering his head to protect his chin, and awaited for the other wolf to make the first move. The sudden leap caught him a bit off guard as he hadn't been expecting such a heavy wolf to move so quickly, but he felt his body move accordingly without too much input from his brain. Astrophel was able to sidestep the worst of the hit, feeling the other male's shoulder slam more into his own shoulder than his chest, but it still felt like hitting a brick wall, and he felt himself be pushed a little off balance. In dodging he initial attack, he left his side open, and felt teeth graze at the skin of his neck. He immediately began to shake to try and dislodge the grip before his opponent could firmly grab hold, and raised up onto his hind legs with the intention of slamming his front half down atop the other wolf's back. He was lighter in weight, but perhaps he could make the other wolf unsteady enough to stumble, leaving an opening for another attack.
