Smells Like Team Spirit v Team D
Love Day Tournament Round 1
02-15-2022, 03:46 AM
The tournament had been called to start, and as soon as the announcement was made, Artorias hurried over to the arenas to see who he and Briar would be facing first. He grinned with excitement to his love; this would be the first time they were fighting together as a team, and he couldn't wait to stand side-by-side with her in the arena as the alphas of the Hallows! The first few rounds of fights had already begun, and while they waited for their team name to be called, Artorias snuck a quick kiss to Briar's cheek. "Ready to show off some Carpathius-Fatalis teamwork?" he said with a playful smile. Then their team was called, along with the uncreative name of Team D, and he headed into the ring, an eager look of determination on his face.
From the other side of the ring, two wolves Artorias didn't recognize entered. One was a black and white male, similar in size to Briar, and a smaller tawny brown female. Not knowing who they were made things both easier and trickier. On the one paw, he wouldn't have to worry about holding back anything. On the other, he had no idea what to expect from them. "How about a little gender equality?" he suggested to Briar in a quick moment of strategy. "I'll take the girl, you go for the guy."
And then Artorias kicked off the fight, charging for the earthen-hued woman. He ran straight for her, looking as if to go barreling into her, but then at the last possible moment used his agility and fleet paws to divert around to the woman's left side. He didn't draw his sword yet, not wanting to make the fight more violent than it needed to be. Instead, he used his momentum to kick off the dirt and launch himself at his opponent from a diagonal, aiming to throw his forelegs around her smaller frame as he charged in an attempt to tackle her off her paws.

Briar's braided tail swayed gently behind her as she walked into the arena alongside Artorias, giving him a grin as he leaned in to kiss her cheek. "You know I am," when he asked her about showing off their team work. They had fought predators and the like together before, but this would be their first time in a more formal fight on the same side so she was eager to see how they did. With her armor in place and spiked helmet strapped firmly around her antlers she felt ready to face whoever they were assigned. Marigold was close behind her at her heel and with a glance over her shoulder she looked to Willow before she gave the falcon a small nod, watching her take flight to keep an eye on the fight from above.
They were placed in front of a pair of strangers—a earthen-hued woman and a monochrome male. Her ear flicked toward Artorias as he suggested that he go for the woman and she take the male that was similar in height to her and she glanced at her partner with a smile and a nod in response. That suited her fine. Artorias wasted no time kicking off the fight so she followed his lead, bounding forward with long, reaching strides. She kept her head tipped down as she approached the male, using her antlers as a bit of a shield and a measure to prevent him from biting anywhere near her face or neck. He didn't have any bracers or anything preventing her from going for his legs so with her lowered head she reached for his front left leg once she was close enough to do so, attempting to grab onto the limp without really slowing her strides in hope of pulling the leg out form under him and throw off his balance.

He was ready and eager for the fighting tournament to start, so when he was paired up and called to meet the opposing team, he wasted no time in showing up. His partner was an earthen-toned woman, a stranger to him. Then again, almost everyone he met was a stranger to him. He didn't have friends, and his only companion was his uncle that he'd been tailing and training with for the better part of the last couple of seasons. He offered a nod to Thalia before turning his attention to their opponents. Wasting little time, if any, on formalities, the other side opted to move first without so much as a nod or anything towards his side.
Fair enough. He supposed nobody was really here to make friends anyway, so when the antlered woman came charging at him, Finan braced himself for a moment before deciding to kick off instead of standing there, waiting for her to reach him. She seemed to aim for his legs, and so with narrowed eyes, Finan aimed his charge slightly towards his own left to avoid her teeth, dancing neatly out of the way as he sought to slam his shoulder into her right hind leg, head-turning in towards her thigh as he aimed to plant a bite there.
