Valentine vs Melanthios

They were interested in this tournament that had popped up. A fighting tournament… it was right up their alley. A chance to resharpen their skills and learn the ways of battle once more. Win or lose… things could be interesting. They could meet other fighters that may or may or may not be better than them. Melanthios knew they weren’t the strongest out there… though that didn’t mean they weren’t going to do their best to kick some tail in their own right!

A coydog approached them and Melanthios canted their head curiously. Such a bizarre creature this one was… and did it say it’s name was Spot? The beast raised a brow. There wasn’t a damn spot on the creature… ah well. There was little to be done about that.

Melanthios focused instead on the male that spot said would be their opponent. They had been asked to go first as well… and Melanthios took a breath, rumbling out a greeting.

“Melanthios Kedieo. It’s a pleasure.”

The beast wasted little time after that. The creature widened it’s stance, head and tail aligning with it’s spine. Ears laid back and hackles were raised, shoulders rolled forward and chin tucked. At last their eyes narrowed and the tricolor creature shot forth.

The creature moved slower than a lighter built wolf but like a freaking truck coming at Valentine full speed. They snarled, seeming to head straight at Valen before veering suddenly to their right, Valen’s left, and throwing their weight into around, literally. Melanthios reared and attempted to slam the front half of their body into Valentine’s left side in hopes of toppling him over with their slightly bigger build and size. At the very least they hoped it would catch him off guard.

They also twisted their head to their right and aimed it downard, attempting to clamp their jaws on Valen’s side in the area before his thigh. They sought a hold, to break into the skin and taste his blood…

They could only hope this male was going to respond with as much enthusiasm as they had starting out.
