Into the fog

Really, despite all of her confidence, Odette didn’t believe that she was going to beat Citadel in a fight like this. She hadn’t even sparred before in her life, just knew the basics of theory from her fathers. They had play spars before, but this felt far different. This was the real deal, little bird Odette against her monster prince of a cousin. Still, she had a slight advantage with the fog, he couldn’t see her. Of course that only went so far, he had other senses. Much like her cat eyes the crystals upon his head were good for more than just looks.

Slightly surprised Odette was quick to notice that Citadel had not followed her into the fog. In fact he had become completely still and silent. Both attributes were nowhere near characteristic of her cousin so Ode too stopped where she was. For a moment she contemplated her next move. She was just out of sight, but if she used her leopard like legs to leap, she might still get the upper hand on him. Or wing.

Odette hunkered down like the part cat she was, wiggling her little butt and short tail. She tucked her wings and coiled herself before taking a great leap at her cousin. Aiming for a sneak attack to swiftly win their little spar.
