GOT AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER But the devil always won... Huzzah! At last Harbringr had made it to the Battlefield. He sat down in a nice grassy patch to catch his breath and limber up before he called for an opponent. It was a beautiful day out. The sky was a crisp clear blue though mounds of white clouds were building on the horizon, growing into mountains. The still seemed to be a ways off yet so maybe he could get a fight or two in before a storm hit. That would really put a damper on things. Although he supposed he needed to be prepared to fight in all types of weather, inclement or otherwise. Harbringr stood and started walking until he found a nice clear field that would make a suitable arena. Tipping back his head he howled for a challenger.

Moving on to find the next fight Basilia spotted a male coming onto the battle field, he looked like he could give her a good fight. She approached him and a faint smell met her nostrils, she hadn’t smelled it in a while, but she remembered it all the same. She wasn’t going to cast judgment immediately on the man, but the scent of her enemy instantly put her opinion of him towards the negative. She wished she never had to think of that vile woman again. She spoke at the male “You have an opponent now.” She would wait until he was ready to start the battle. Basilia vs Harbringr for Spar Round 0/?

GOT AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER But the devil always won... Harbringr was pleased when a fit-looking woman of a similar size and build answered his call. She was a wee bit taller than him but he wasn't bothered by her added height. He grinned. "Excellent. Let's get started then." Hari was ready to roll and he quickly set his defenses, ears pinning, hackles raising, the whole works. His muscles bunched and then launched him forward like a coiled spring as he attempted to hurl himself head on at the woman. Shifting his weight to his hind legs he attempted to push off with his forefeet and lift himself into a slight rear before he judged they would collide. He brought his right shoulder forward as he attempted to slam it down into the point where the woman's neck met her left shoulder, seeking to put all his weight behind in it the hopes of straining the tendons that held the woman's shoulder in place. As he did so he tilted his head forward to protect his throat. Gravity already aided him as he attempted to come down and forward from his shoulder slam so he hoped to capitalize on that movement. Harbringr attempted to bring his head down as well, aiming to bring the brunt of his forehead, between his eyes and ears, down on the woman's left eye socket hoping for a fracture. In addition he aimed to press his left forepaw against the woman's right foreleg at the point where it met her chest. He hoped to straighten his leg sharply and as a result shove her leg sideways in a bid to unbalance her. Harbringr vs Basilia for Spar Round 1 of ?

Basilia readied herself for the attacks to come, Tucking her tail in and flattening her ears. Granted it would be hard to get a hold of her ears considering they were blocked by the spiral horns of the long dead ram. Knowing the typical techniques of starting a fight Basilia aimed to run head on at the man, like a bull with her head tucked down. The idea she had in mind was to hit the man’s chest or head if he had done the same thing. Instead as she ran blindly forwards the man had reared up in the air which set her up for a square hit to the lower part of the underbelly. Meaning that should she make contact with the man logically he would lose his balance in some way.

GOT AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER But the devil always won... Harbringr was ready to adjust as his original plan fell through. The minute Basilia charged he re-evaluated. There was no point trying to head butt her with her head lowered and charging. He quickly kicked off, leaping to the side, just missing the woman's head butt which grazed past his left shoulder and instead he sought to come in low and at an angle as he attempted to throw his lower chest full on into her left knee, hoping to dislocate the patella or at least jam it and slow down her movements. At the same time he threw his head to his own left seeking to bite down on her spine. He quickly set his defenses, tucking his tail, pinning his ears and stealing himself for her retaliation which would probably not be pleasant with his ass front and center as a target.

One of the downsides to charging straight in was that if you faltered at all any chance of it being useful was screwed. You had to fully commit if you were going to do it and that’s what Basilia did. Not looking up from the ground even once she rammed into the left hip area of her sparring partner. Feeling a jarring movement happen around her left back leg she went to crush the paw of his left back leg with her front left paw. Mouth aimed towards the male’s tail to get it within a firm grasp. Zabit took the opportunity to fly down with her talons to scratch the top of the other wolf’s head, between the ears. Hoping to draw blood to darken that white fur of his.
