OOC: Short, just wanted to set it up asap

He didn't know much about about the pack or the ambitions the king had. But he trusted Dione to make the right choices, for right now he is simply a traveller. Drifting location to location as he pleases, it'll be quite strange to settle down in a certain area for a rather long time. A sigh would slip his lips, carrying himself to an open area of the now claimed lands to spar. How experienced was his opponent? Novaro couldn't help but feel slightly wary, he was young, though he wouldn't come to conclusions on whether he has been trained or not. He would quickly set his defences, ready to start when the opponent is. He would watch Dione wandering of to go to whatever it is that she wanted, and then- he was completely focused on the spar.

Levaithi had no formal training actually. His time in Abaven had possibly just been a stage in his life where he was in a crisis. His emotionless eyes watched Novaro, of course he was more experienced. He was older, he was a different color even. His brain tried to wrap around the situation, remember the basics and just do what was needed. After all, the closest he had come to training was killing his first victim in the forest on his birthday. A growl ripped through his throat, as he dipped his head in a greeting before getting his body ready. His knee's bent slightly, hackles raising as his ears came to settled against his skull. His scruff pulled forward in order to protect his vitals and his tail became level with his spine for balance. Once his defenses were set, he jumped at the male jaws open wide for a straight forward attack towards the left side of the man's body. He would attempt to snap for the left forelimb as his toes dug into the dirt for traction. His right paw coming forward to try and slam into his left paw as he had seen wolves do on the battlefield. round 1/2 ooc: keeping him inexperienced a little since he hasn't really had any training, only observing. If you have any questions hit me up pm, cbox, or skype. EDIT: Forgot to add rounds, tea and luis approved. "Speech"

The boy would follow and with a simple nod Novaro would prepare to fight. The boy would begin first. His defenses where set: Tail tucked, hackles raised, teeth bares, lips peeled back, eyes slit, ears pinned, weight evenly distributed, muscles tense, chin tucked to protect throat, spine aligned with crown, knees bent slightly. Novaro would begin running forward, attempting to close the distance between them, as he did so Leva would aim to grab Novaro's left forelimb. the blue boy would feel the teeth sink into the lower portion of his leg, just below the knee, blood appearing from the bite. It was more of a sting then a serious injury, nova would quickly readjust his balance, hopefully shifting slightly [like one step] to his own right. The slam to Novaro's right forepaw wasn't quite successful though, as Novaro readjusted his balance Leva had missed the brute's right paw, just slightly. As Leva lowered his head in order to bite Novaro's left forepaw, Nova would take the opportunity. He would attempt to lower his head, hoping to grab Leva's left ear just at the top, hoping to keep hold of it if he was successful. While doing so Novaro would attempt to lift his right forepaw, and hopefully slam it down onto Leva's left forepaw, wanting to use the move against him. He would aim for the toes hoping to fracture.

so sorry if this doesnt make sense, im so tired.

A novaro moved, he became frustrated, easily so. Though as soon as his teeth left contact, his opponents head was moving. Still with his ears pinned to his skull, Levaithi would take a few steps back as quickly as he could. Rolling his shoulders inward and scruff scrunched as Novaro's teeth came in contact with the top of his head leaving half inch marks as he felt them on his skull blood dripping from the injury. His knee's bent slightly toes splayed into the dirt the man's paw came in contact with his own left forepaw but due to the step back he was able to pull it away in time to avoid any serious injury other than bruising. A whine leaving his snout he tooth the opportunity. Tail leveling with his spine Levi pressed his body weight forward attempting to press the front of his skull into Novaro's tender neck. His abdomen muscles tightening he kept his head tucked slightly and eyes narrowed hoping to choke the man or at least confuse him. At the same time attempt to shift to his left and tip him over, but it would be an effort from the inexperienced yearling. 2/2 "Speech"

The fight was fast and he knew it'd be over soon. He would try to keep all of his defenses: Ears pinned, eyes slit, lips peels back, weight evenly distributed, muscles tenses, claws clenched into ground, Teeth bared, knees bent slightly, chin tucked, abdomen tensed, spine aligned with crown. Novaro's attack to the ear would miss the target, and would instead clasp on the top of the boy's skull, which he believed would be far more painful. The attempt to crush his toes also seemed to miss due to Leva's movement. The boy would suddenly shift, forcing whatever hold Novaro had on the skull to be released in case of seriously injuring. Novaro would step back slightly, though due to his chin being tucked Leva's crown would instead hit Novaro's bottom jaw slightly to the left, which would cause it to bruise later on. He wouldn't think about the pain right now, only on finishing this spar. As the boy attempted to push his weight into Novaro, the blue boy would brace himself so that he would not fall over or stumble. Since Leva's left side was leaning on Novaro, the blue boy would attempt to twist his head slightly to the left, hoping to snap his teeth down just behind Leva's left ear where its sensitive and isn't protected by lots of fur and muscle. Novaro would also attempt to lift his left paw, readjusting his weight to the other three. He would aim his left paw to slam down on the boys muzzle, hoping to hit his nose to irritate and hopefully cause discomfort due to the sensitivity. Round 2/2! "Talk" "You" Think

Notes: Tips for both writing, and some suggestions. (no points are deducted here) Notes For Riv Great job playing an inexperienced wolf! I think you know your defenses, I have looked at some of your other fights but that was what really got you here! Also be careful with directions and your intentions, I got a bit lost a few times. For Luis Overall great fight! Pretty clear, missed some ?attempting? here and there but what really got you was the balance. We like people to try and say something like ?he would widen his stance and redistribute his weight over his remaining paws? when you life a leg. Other then that great fight both of you!

OOC: Gonna make this quick! Excuse the shortness!

Valentine followed lazily behind the two brutes. He settled back on his haunches to watch as they readied themselves, his soot tipped ears straining forward in interest. The battle began and the titan found his gaze darting between the two, scrutinizing their movements. It ended how he'd expected it to; the experienced fighter won. Valen would have been very surprised if the boy had come out the victor, and while this outcome was expected, Levaithi had done well. He had potential. The fledgling alpha was pleased with how the outrageously colored brute had handled himself as well. "Very well done," he rumbled, "Novaro, your rank will be Legatus." He locked eyes with Levi. "Levaithi, I have decided to train you in combat myself. As an apprentice, your rank will be Tribune." The brute stood and shook out his coat before turning a mischievous grin on the two fighters. "Welcome to Imperium." -exit Valentine unless stopped- "Speaking" -- Thinking
