Feel It All Slipping Away

When the older girl approached her, she didn't even recognize that she was older. Onyx did have a tiny sister that was also a fighter and a larger brother that was a fighter so she never judged size on their ability to fight. Though the girl was nearly her size at this time in both their ages, so she had only really assumed that they were close in age. All she was able to fight were other kids her age at least.

Onyx's head reached forward to hear the girl better through the rain. She seemed reluctant to jump into the fight, at least physically. She was asking for one though. Onyx didn't like how she wasn't more forward like she was herself, but she didn't let it bother her. Maybe she just thought any one who was interested in fighting would be just like her and thrust into battles quickly and with no reason. It was just in her young mind at least.

Onyx moved forward, maybe a little too close for comfort but enough room for one of them to start the fight. About three feet or so. She was very forward in her approach, confident, but didn't come at the girl with an open jaw or an attack yet. "Only if you fight better than you ask." She had a gentle smile on her face, as if it was a joke but she was way more serious than she appeared. Onyx wanted to fight someone worthy, but she did also want to conquer others. She wanted a good fight and challenge as much as she wanted to win.

She tried to remember what her mother had taught her recently. Setting up her paws evenly for good balance, her tail flowed naturally behind her. She didn't lower herself quite yet though, hoping that the dark, ember girl was still up for the fight. Onyx's paws slid a little in the mud that had formed under them, but she caught herself quickly, not expecting the difficulty of the fight due to the rain.
