Rise

Éldi felt adrenaline rush through his veins, his heart pumping at the thrill of facing off against a more skilled opponent. As he shifted to his left Zell would shift to his right and bring them back into alignment. Éldi had put to much power and momentum into his movement, there was no time to shift out of the way, so he braced himself for pain as he hurled himself into Zell's attack. They met nearly square but slightly off to Éldi's right as Éldi's left shoulder struck the right portion of Zell's chest, the force sure to cause moderate bruising to Éldi's left shoulder as well as his chest but he hoped the collision would cause damage to his opponent as well.  Because of their alignment, facing directly into each other with Éldi's left shoulder aligned to the center right of Zell's chest, Zell's left shoulder would miss it's target collide with the center right portion of Éldi's chest leaving moderate bruising to form in it's wake. They were matching each other blow for blow and it was glorious. We the god's watching this contest?

Time was eaten up in battle, seconds were stripped and the mind had no time to think. There was only time to react and Éldi had to trust his body and his training. As Zell twisted his head to face the young viking Éldi readjusted his attack. He rotated his head sharply to his own left so that his left cheek was facing the ground. In doing so Zell's jaws would miss his nose but he was not quick enough to avoid Zell's upper fangs leaving light lacerations across the bridge of his muzzle. Éldi did not close his jaws or slow his momentum as he attempted to push forward, seeking to close his jaws around Zell's throat. His upper fangs sought purchase on the right size of Zell's throat just below the jawline, while his lower fangs sought to wrap around the left size of his throat, again just below the jawline. He hoped to choke out his opponent and seize victory.

Éldi's left forepaw was successful in pinning Zell's right forepaw and the young man quickly shifted his weight to his hind legs and his left forepaw, seeking to worsen the damage and keep his balance. Simultaneously he'd lift his right forepaw, just missing Zell's left forepaw seeking to return the damage. Éldi sought to wrap his right forepaw around behind Zell's left elbow so he could yank the man forward while his hind legs kicked off as he sought to drive his chest further into his opponent. They were too close for any bruising to form, Éldi merely hoped that the combination of moves might cause his opponents balance to falter and give him an advantage. He kept as many of his defenses as he could. He relished this, it felt could to cut loose and the idea of victory or defeat couldn't be further from his mind. There was only the battle.
