Climb to the Sky [Spar]

Eligos stepped into the battleground flanked by his grinning dog proteges and clad in brand new, unfamiliar armor. It still felt awkward and strange to him, and Kida and Cypher thought the whole thing was a hilarious new game and had taken turns trying to sneak up and tug on the leather armor until he had cuffed them both around until they were both flashing theor bellies and grinning submissively. The leather felt a bit stiff yet, and he thought it wise to get used to the weight and awkwardness in sparring before he really needed it, so he had made his way to the battlefield. There, he waited quietly for a time rather than wander and waste energy, until finally a call rose over the land and he rose with it, trotting towards the source. The wind brought him the scent of his opponent before he saw him, so when he came upon the other male he merely nodded stiffly and said in greeting, "Valhallan." No other words were needed; they bith knew what they were there for. Eli settled into a fighting stance, and waited.
