All of the other spars had finished and it was time for him and Arian to spar, Kreft would try to keep his monster inside of him this time and not let it take over his movements. He had stationed himself in the small clearing in front of the boat, he was sitting down waiting for Arian to show up so they could get on with the fighting. Just to make sure she knew he was here he would let out a howl that rang across the territory, anybody else was free to come and watch them but they would probably be tending to their wounds. ""

After watching the spars, Arian had noticed they did need a bit of work. She didn't know even about herself though. As she spotted kreft a small smile would draw across her jaw. Now was a time to relax herself, and use what she had learned and what she had grown used to with her leg. She was ultimately lucky it hadn't been torn apart, her luck was she could still walk on it but it was more her weight centered on three legs since it couldn't support her fully. Tooth and claw was something she believed to be bonding, you could tell a lot by fighting, and gain a certain amount of respect whether you won or lose. As she stood in front of kreft, her blue eyes would center on him. "Kreft.... depending on how I observe you in this fight. You may or may not get a promotion. You've been just as involved in the pack as Cypress has and I am glad. I hope this fight goes well." Arian after she said this, would step back and start her defenses and even attack. If one thing she had learned from Syrinx and his family, attack first, be vicious, and be hard. It didn't matter her disability, she would push herself, she wouldn't harm Kreft too much but she wouldn't pull any stops either. Hopefully those watching and even Kreft would see that. Arian would narrow her eyes at Kreft, her ears pinned to the back of her head. Her back right leg would settle more to her middle so that her left leg was not in the way and still kept her balance to the side. With her toes splayed, her front paws dug into the wood carvings of the ship, her tail coming to level with her spine and her canine's exposed themselves. She raised her hackles, rolling her scruff forward to protect her vital neck. Using her front paws to pull herself forward and back leg kicking she would jut her right shoulder to aim for Kreft's center of the chest. At the same time her head would tilt to the left side, jaws splaying open and aiming to strike on Kreft's right side of the neck where the jawbone connected with it. Attempting to have her body tilting slightly to the left so her right side was facing the male in a one hundred degree angle. Her abdomen muscles would tighten with the attack keeping her left leg leaning to the side as her back right leg and left side tightened up to keep her balance. 1/2 for spar "Talk"

Kreft would watch as Arian came to stand in front of him, she would talk first before getting onto any fighting. A promotion, Kreft’s eyes would light up as he heard those words. He considered letting his monster out for this fight, but he didn’t want to hurt her, he knew that would happen if he truly let it loose. He would change out the chains that held his monster for a sturdy rope, this would at least allow him the thinking and strategy of fighting but hopefully not the power. As she put her defenses in place he would do the same. He spread his legs out and gave them all an equal amount of weight to hold. His toes would spread and claws would dig into the ground, eyes narrowed and ears flattened. Head and tail aligned with the spine and he would dip his chin to protect his neck. He would raise his hackles and roll his shoulders forward. He would tilt his body to the right making Arian’s shoulder blade land on the left side of his chest leaving minor bruising. Arian’s attempt at biting his jawbone would instead land on the air, he would attempt to dash to her right flank and seek to land a bite to where the leg connects to the body. Hoping to leaving moderate bleeding he would then take his right paw and try to wrap it around her right back leg, if he succeeded he would attempt to yank her back leg out from under her hoping to make her unbalanced. He hoped she didn’t mind him taking advantage of her disability, this was however a fight and you had to make everything go to your advantage. Kreft vs. Arian Spar Round: 1/2 ""

The woman's teeth snapped on air, making her fur bristle with anger. Though her shoulder had hit him, she watched him shoot towards her right side. Instinctively she would cross her right front paw underneath her and attempt to scoot away to the left from him. That way his teeth would not hit their mark on her crippled leg instead snagging the end of her tail irritatingly pulling out fur and nipping the end. His paw ended up grabbing the useless leg and tugged what was already not very efficient in balance. Arian's ears stayed pinned to the back of her head and her eyes narrowed on him. She attempted to quickly turn herself at a right degree angle to his hind quarters. Opening her jaws her head tilted to the right and she aimed for his spine just above the tail hoping to shake her head back and forth to cause immense pain. Her tail kept level with her spine and she kept her weight evenly on three legs keeping her left in the middle for balance. Her shoulders rolled inward and scruff pulled forward to protect her neck. Having her toes splay out into the dirt to keep traction as her abdomen muscles tightened. Eyes narrowed and locked on him a growl leaving her throat as she tried her best in this fight. Her attacks were vicious, and she was determined not to be knocked over because of her severed tendon. 2/2 for spar "Talk"

He felt his teeth close on a couple pieces of fur ripping them from their host, he had hit Arian’s tail instead of her flank. She had scooted away from his attack, he succeeded in his attempt at yanking her good leg out from under her. It didn’t do much so she must have better balance on the other leg than he had originally thought. He backed up from her leg to set some of his defenses back in place, he narrowed his eyes and flattened his ears. His skull leveled with his spine once again and he balanced his weight among his four paws. Arian’s attempt at biting the base of his tail failed and instead she made contact with his spine on his lower back, Kreft would let out a growl from his throat as she shook her head creating moderate wounds on his back. He would lower his body hoping to make her release his back, if she did let go of him he would dash around for an attempt to paw stomp on her right foreleg with his right. He would then tilt his head to the right and aim a bite to the base of her neck between the shoulder blades, he wouldn’t shake his head as this was supposed to be a spar but he would make sure she knew his teeth were there.

Kreft vs Arian for SPAR ROUND ONE Arian: 10 for clarity: 10 for powerplaying. 10 for defenses. 4 for attack. +1 shoulder jut +3 bite to side of neck 10 for injuries. First round. Arian's round one total: 44/50 Kreft: 7 for clarity: How does tilting his body to the side change where Arian's attack lands? I think you meant to say shifted or moved. "seek to land a bite to where the leg connects to the body." Which leg are you referring to? She has two on that side, her front and her back. 10 for powerplaying. 10 for defenses. 4 for attack. +3 bite to her leg +1 trying to swipe her right back leg out from under her 10 for injuries. First round. Kreft's round one total: 41/50 ROUND TWO Arian: 7 for clarity: Kreft was tugging at her back right leg, which isn't her useless one. Also, did it do any damage? Did it unbalance her? You didn't say. 10 for powerplaying. 10 for defenses. 3 for attack. +3 bite for spine just above where his tail begins 8 for injuries. -1 nipped end of tail, lost fur -1 leg swipe not addressed Arian's round two total: 38/50 Kreft: 10 for clarity:   10 for powerplaying. I could have taken off for him 'dashing around' but since it didn't technically happen because the rounds are completed, I'll refrain from doing so. But, in the future, don't ever have your wolf dash completely around another wolf, it's usually considered too much movement for a single post. 4 for defenses. Make sure you list all of your defenses in each round, these are easy points. 0 for attack. Your attack is entirely subject to a whole new round since it occurs only if Arian lets go of his back. You  should have done something different, as him 'dashing around to her other side' is too much movement in one post and can't be counted. 8 for injuries. -2 moderate wound to spine, lower back Kreft's round two total: 32/50 Totals: Arian: 82/100 Kreft: 73/100 And the winner is... Arian! Kreft must give up by either submitting, fleeing, or passing out. Damage: Arian: Nipped end of tail/lost fur - doesn't need healer attention and will heal in a matter of days Mild wounds to her back right leg - will heal in a matter of days Kreft:   Moderate wounds to lower back/spine - will heal in 1 OOC week, longer if not seen by a healer Notes: Tips for writing and some suggestions. (no points are deducted here): For both: Dealt with in the notes above ^^ - By [Andy]

The fight had ended and he was left with some wounds to his lower back, they ached and bled. He felt that he could have done better in the fight but Arian was a worthy opponent. He would calmly accept defeat, ”It would seem that you have bested me, you were a worthy opponent.” He would nod to Arian he wasn’t exactly sure if the pack had a healer or not and he knew next to nothing about the subject. He would have to find one to deal with his back wounds, “Does this pack have a healer?” he would ask her. ""

After the fight died down, she was sore. Yet her body felt like nothing before, she remembered the thrill of fighting now despite that she didn't do it often. Her tail flopping from side to side, she watched Kreft carefully and amused smile shown on her face. Perhaps now she had truly earned his trust, or at least respect. There was nothing compared to tooth and claw she knew that perfectly well. She dipped her head to him. Raising it again when he spoke about a healer, her eyes catching the wound she had inflicted on his spine. "I'm a healer.... come on let's get you treated in my den." her head gestured toward the ship. As she started with a soft limp up the ramp. Looking behind her to make sure Kreft was following her. -end of thread- "Talk"
