Silence befell the Bay. Ocean tongues licked at the sandy shores with every stretch it made from the large body of water traveling for miles. Snow littered the land in every direction. Branches sticking from beneath for birds to perch on. Cleaning away whatever clung to their feathers. Such beauty of life where everything had a purpose meant nothing to Khranbari at that moment.

His walk held purpose. Stance in place as shoulders rolled in preparation for what was a come. A howl filling the salty-tasting air, he called forth a challenger. Needed to get back to his purpose in life. Since arriving here, he'd lost sight of everything. His rise in rank. Khran took note to the lack of definition in his muscles a day he went to patrol the borders and saw a brief reflection. It's what had brought him here. He desired the training. The motivation to get back into what mattered the most.

As he waited patiently for one to take the bait, he began to wonder how he'd take on the task of asking Varushka to be his. To finally open up to the earthen woman because, despite everything, the Raitas wanted her to himself.
"Khranbari Chah Fao"

After speaking with Avacyn, Nirvana had gathered her cape, dagger, and companions for a trip. It felt like her mind was buzzing as she went, her mind drifting towards the Thrall of the pack neighboring Elysium. Such a curious woman… Nirvana let out a soft chuckle. The femme was eye-catching, but the woman didn’t let her mind dwell on her any more than that. It wasn’t as if she was likely to see her again. And besides… she needed to keep moving. Finding a land to strike her fancy under all this snow and ice was going to prove to be a challenge. At least she could be thankful for the cape that she wore. The feathers helped keep her warm as she passed alongside the territory of Valta. She was skirting the edges of the pack, mindful to be in the opposing territory, and moved without a sense of direction. She was looking for something, but what that something was she didn’t have a clue.

In time she had passed through waterways and arrived in sandier lands. She could smell the tang of salt in the air… ahh, the ocean. If it were one of the warmer seasons the idea of nearing the water would be more appealing. She had considered turning back, but a call from the beach beyond the snow covered foliage she wandered through caused Nirvana to give pause. A challenge, huh? Interesting. Her companion, Ridge, would answer the challenge with a cry of her own. Heh, if her falcon was ready to fight, then so be it. It couldn’t hurt to really get her body moving with a dance of battle. Thomas would shift upon her shoulders, the Genet preparing himself for his mistress to do battle with this stranger.

The albino woman would find the man on the beach, on a stretch where the snow was thinnest. As she approached it crunched under her paws, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and receding back into depths heard in the background. Ridge would circle in the sky above the man, and Nirvana would allow a small smirk to appear on her lips. He was of Valta. He should be worth her time then. “You called, I answered.” Thomas would leap from Nirvana’s shoulders as the woman slipped into a fighting stance. Her red eyes fixed on him before narrowing, digits splaying over the snow as she widened her stance. Her tail would arch out behind her, lifting the cap at its base to help aid her balance. Her ears flicked back, an expression of seriousness slipping over her features.

Then she kicked off against the ground, giving the man just enough time to read her intentions and prepare himself before she barreled at him. Her body was leaning toward the right, betraying that she wanted to come in alongside his left side. But Nirvana wouldn’t go alone. With a battle cry her falcon dropped from the sky at the face of their opponent, beating her wings toward his face in an effort to limit his vision of her mistress. Nirvana on the other paw began to move in a wider arch and turn her attention to the man’s back leg. Jaws parted as she attempted to lung and clamp down on the meaty section of his leg. He wanted a fight, well he got one.

"Speech" 'Thought.'

What he didn’t expect was a woman who answered his call. Her extra large frame stepped into view and he said nothing once she spoke. Giving a tilt of his head, watching her companions take their place, he gave a low growl in anticipation. Gender did not matter to him in any case. She wished to fight and so they would do as expected. Claws dug deeper into the snowed flooring. Embracing himself for whatever she chose to do. Gaze forever watching when she moved to his left side.

However, this became short lived when a red falcon flapped away in his face. The distraction caused him to snarl out in frustration. Ears pulling back in hopes to ear wherever she came from. With his vision filled with a sight of feathers, he had no choice but to duck his head in an attempt to evade the bird’s wings. A sharp pain shooting up along his thigh once the woman’s teeth sunk into his leg. He turned his head to attempt to sink his own into her right shoulder with a sharp tug.

Her opponent was not familiar with dealing with the companions of a wolf it would seem. Ridge managed to distract him initially, but the wolf would dip under the falcon’s claws as she swiped at him to get at her mistress. Dumb dog. The bird would take to the skies, giving another piercing cry in irritation.

Nirvana felt her fangs slice, but that was all she managed before the man got under Ridge and retaliated with his own fangs. Teeth dug into his shoulder as her cape shifted, welling up blood into his mouth. He pulled on her, but Nirvana did not pull back. Now, she moved toward her opponent.

A snarl ripped from her lips as she twisted toward him, seeking to use her opposite foreleg in a sweeping motion to try pulling his leg out from under him… and hopefully lower him further. His head in this position to be in her shoulder, Nirvana sought to use the opportunity he presented her and go for her own hold between his scruff and the side of his neck. She wanted to control this fight, and if she got that hold he was going to find it harder to retaliate.

This is when her Genet, Thomas, also sought to attack. The small cat-like beast lunged for the foreleg Nirvana wasn’t attacking and sought to dig his claws in for a bit of pain and distraction.

"Speech"

Khranbari knew after this fight he’d have a very strong hatred t’wards those that did not fight alone. The woman with her animals was becoming a nuisance. Father did not teach him of these certain things and it proved annoying as he tried to think of way to get the upper paw. Something that proved trivial once teeth sunk into the space where neck met scruff. He could feel the moment skin became pierced. Pain shooting through him; after losing half of his balance.

He’d let go of her shoulder to try and relieve his neck from the opponent’s grasp. Head turning to snap his jaws in her face in attempt to latch onto anything that could let him free. In that moment, Khranbari had no chose but to ignore the Genet’s attack. The cat like creature able to latch onto his other foreleg and biting down. His only response being a guttural snarl.

It would be nothing but lucky if he’d won this spar. But, surely even a worm would know that it was nothing but wishful thinking. Tail lashing out behind him. He didn’t stop his attempt to try and get control of it.
