Snowy Bridge Fight!

Kotori had called Strix to come out for a spar.  Wanting to try something different Kotori hadn’t called him to some nice flat and open sparring area but instead to the middle of a bridge that crossed over the rapids.  There was enough room on the bridge for two wolves to walk side by side but, not much extra.  It certainly wasn’t designed for a lot of wide turns but would be a nice spot to block another wolf off from crossing from one end to another.  

The sides of the bridge had wooden pillars that rose up a good forty inches with fat dense ropes slung across from pillar to pillar, down low enough to stop a pup from falling over, along with a rope a foot higher, and another rope a foot above that.  The wooden boards had been treated with some sort of oil that was supposed to help them not weaken or warp in the rain.  The bridge did get slick at points if too much water got on it from excess wind or rain.

Now the bridge had a thin layer of snow on it and it was indeed slick.  A fight on this bridge would be more dangerous than a normal spar with the potential to easily lose balance and no way to easily escape some attacks if stuck at the wrong angle.  It would be a good test for both of them.

“We’re fighting right here.  If you fall off the bridge you lose, and you’re going to be all wet,” grinned devilishly as he said that part.  “You can back up or go forward only as far as the end of the bridge.” Try to twist abound and you would potentially get caught between an attacker and the ropes.  This should be fun.
