Over And Done With

Miksa had waited the few or so days - could it really have been a whole week?? - after the meeting until the spars were called to order. The time had been spent in a permanent state of anxiety, caught between his fear of failing and his desire to get the deed over and done with. He tried, when he was not completely overcome with nerves, to review what he knew, to go through his paces and see what he remembered. Stances, positions, defenses, scenarios that he could try to prepare for, but even as he did his secret training - he was too self-conscious to have an audience - he knew nothing would compare to the actual moment of battle. This was really just to distract himself.

It worked. Somewhat. When the day finally arrived, he felt there was little else he could do in terms of preparation save sparring with someone else, and considering that would put him below peak condition he opted out of it. Besides, he still knew no one aside from Surreal, his friend Varda, and the kind healer woman Kavdaya in the pack personally, so his options were limited regardless; he was not yet brave enough to seek out the strangers.

Keeping his breaths evenly measured and forcefully calm, the white wolf traveled to the heart of the Vericona Plains and looked about with nervous yellow eyes. Would this go well? Would he prove his worth or just confirm for himself that he had yet a lot to learn? He tried not to think, especially about the impending spar, and instead set about searching for his intended partner, seeking out whoever would be taking on his spar.
