Into the night

Artorias hadn't known what Mercury might open their spar with. A direct attack? A feint to the side? A diving maneuver? Nope, the other dire leaped into the air and brought his paws down across the ground, spraying a mist of powdery white straight at him. Art blinked in surprise and closed his eyes just as the spray of snow covered him, clumping in his fur around his face. Shaking the snow from his fur, the Aegis opened his eyes to shoot a playful glare to his opponent—only to gasp in alarm as a snowball made contact with his face. The sphere of icy doom smacked into his snout, exploding on contact and once more covering him in snow. Art blinked open his eyes, batting them a few times to clear his vision before looking back to Mercury with a fiery smolder in his eyes and a wicked grin on his lips.

The snow war was on.

Scooping up a bundle of snow between his large paws, Artorias rolled a sizable snowball together, and then held it at the ready. Shifting his body, Artorias brought one of his paws up to sweep a spray of snow back at Mercury, and then in the next instant snatched up his snowball and lobbed it at the other wolf, bounding a short distance to the side around his opponent and began to bundle up snow into another snowball again in preparation for Merc's retaliation.
