the dark between the stars

Incubus followed his sister outside, glad to have the chance to get this challenge going and over with. This was as good of a time as any. With all that training under his belt he should be capable enough to prove himself. Pale eyes took in the sparring circle as he moved onto the gravel. A good flat bed for a brawl. A tiny grin slipped across his lips as Venom made the call.

It wasn't long before his niece trotted in. Incubus offered the lass a smile and a nod as she greeted himself and the Empress. "Nice to see you, Kitsune." Despite the fact the two were to fight in a matter of minutes, there was obviously no ill will in either direction. The challenge was a mere matter of business and he looked forward to it. "I've come to challenge for the rank of Samurai." Inc allowed the Empress to expand upon that if she wished.
