Soon a small crowd had gathered to watch the challenge and Alena noticed Ozz in the crowd, remembering how not long ago Alena had attempted to persuade the woman to join Amenti. Well, maybe she would when it was all over, should Canttina win. It was funny how the twists and turns in life happened like that. The other member of the crowd that Alena saw was Medusa. Alena wasn't entirely surprised that her Deputy had abandoned her pups to attend the challenge. Medusa's words made Alena smirk with a strange sense of pride that she felt. There would never be a time that she wouldn't stand by Medusa or want Medusa to stand by her. But, there was no time to add to Medusa's commentary. Canttina was wasting no time getting this challenge going.

FIGHT

Alena would have no problem following her challenger's instructions to "have fun". The nervous worry that had plagued her up until this point melted away as she settled into her fighting stance and the rush of adrenaline took its place. She had been afraid that she would have forgotten how to shift into this mindset of a fight after such a stretch without a spar, but she clicked into it like nothing had changed. She narrowed her eyes, folded back her ears flat against her skull, and tucked her tail beneath her, all the obvious points of defense. Her hackles raised and her head lowered to be level with her spine, making sure the skin along the top of her neck remained bunched and loose, giving the woman plenty of non-vital flesh to bite should she try.

Then the fight really began as Canttina charged head-first into the fight, leaning toward the left. Alena's mind flashed through possibilities, knowing that she had used the trick move and quick direction change more times than she could count. Her thoughts were soon proven correct, watching as Canttina dodged to the right. A smirk crossed Alena's muzzle, her lips pulling up in a cross between a snarl and a grin, exposing the white fangs behind them. Nothing gave the assassin the same thrill that a fight did.

Alena prepared herself to attempt an idea that flashed through her mind, only having the briefest of moments before the masked wolf was on her. Alena waited till the last second and then let all of her muscles go completely limp, letting her challenger ram into her chest. Alena easily fell backwards with the hit, her spine curving into a C-shape so she could rock onto her back and her limbs pulling close to protect her tender stomach. She also tucked down her chin against her throat to protect it as well, not wanting any of the tender, vital parts of her body to be exposed. Her chest was sore from the impact, of course, but nothing she couldn't easily ignore. Alena saw Canttina lift up her paws to try to almost hug Alena in the motion. "What an interesting move."

Alena hoped that by rolling onto her back Canttina would overshoot her target and not grab her after all. If this was the case, Alena would end up under the fea, putting her in an interesting position. She would kick up hard with her strong hind legs, aiming to hit the fea hard in the stomach with her hind paws, wanting to knock the air out of her opponent or at least kick the fea away from her enough to escape from under her. Of course there was still the matter of the snapping jaws that had launched themselves toward her neck. She leaned away from Canttina's jaws, offering up her shoulder as a target instead of her neck should the fea still want to take a bite of her after Alena's attempted kick to her stomach. If her kick landed, Alena would try to roll away from Canttina, back onto her paws, to regain her stance and prepare for the next attack.
