Strai found his opponent, or more accurately, she found him. He rose fluidly to his paws as she raced at him. They were evenly matched in height, though she was a little older than him. He had no time left to make any other observations before she was upon him.

She raised her forlegs, the cheeky grin on her face easy telling him what type of match this would be. So he attempted to be somewhat careful ashe turned his head, attempting to cut at the right foreleg wrapped about him. Knowing the dagger would be what her eyes would settle on, he actually attempted to cut her with the prickly spurs along his cheek

"Speech"

Mercury raised a brow as one of the invading wolves turned their attention to him. He could see the way their eyes settled, opponent locked in. He let his body move into a defensive position, his own eyes on the dark coated wolf. He left his blade sheathed, letting this fight play out with low stakes.

The orange tinted wolf bounded over in a display of grace, and Mercury returned his grin. “Your coat would be just the right size for me” he agreed, voice light and teasing. He let Kuroki close in, measuring his opponent. The bite to his nose landed, and Merc leaned backwards. Pulling his forpaws up to wrap them around Kuroki. Turning the match into a battle of strength.

Nelu busied himself on seasoning his clay, getting it to the right consistency for the pottery he intended to make. Focused on his work he was surprised to hear the challenging call ring out across the fields outside the castle. A resources challenge. A raid. Nelu's eyes narrowed and he swiftly moved to done his armor and weaponry, not worrying about the clay and silt that stained his paws.

He arrived to a mess of fights going on around him and knew at this point negotiation was pointless. His keen eyes hunted for a an unpaired warrior when they rested on a girl about his age and height though much lighter in build. A fine set of horns adorned her head and she seemed a good opponent. Nelu charged, coming at the woman's right shoulder at a perpendicular angle. He sought to throw his chest forward into the outside of her right shoulder while at the same time his fangs sought to catch her scruff at the back of her head.

She follows them to the Castle, fur on end with the anticipation of a fight. Would she get a chance this time? From what she'd heard before, The Hallows wolves didn't disappoint. The blue babe makes her way with a grin on her face, ready to take on whoever she can find. Unfortunately for her, getting there damn near last made it so that everyone else had first dibs. She growled her irritation, but would wait (im)patiently for her chance and instead, stalked the perimeter, gaze hungrily eyeing The Hallows grounds as she waited for an opponent she could take. Gods be damned if she didn't get her chance again! "Brida"

Just like her opponent, Dusk had also come into the raid distracted. There was something on her mind. Or someone, rather. Ever since she'd kissed Sitri, he was all that she could think about. The dark lady wanted more of him. Lots more. Distracted or no, she was able to shut everything off once she arrived at the battlefield. The skill of a true warrior.

Fiery eyes scanned the crowd. As wolves paired up to begin their fights, Dusk held back, allowing others to choose first. Once a few battles had begun the antlered fae moved towards a smaller wolf. Dusk wouldn't use Whisper unless she had no choice, but she wouldn't take it easy on her opponent. It would be doing the spotted wolf a disservice.

Dusk nodded to the girl, not smiling but friendly enough in a serious sort of way. It seemed that the spotted fae was the serious type as well based on her expression. Maybe they both needed this.

Rushing forward towards her opponent, the obsidian woman rose up onto her hind legs just enough to attempt to wrap her forelegs around the other fae's neck. She would try to use her superior size to knock the girl down and use her claws in moderation to try and hang onto her armor.

To her opponent's credit, he did manage to pivot and react to her attack quickly even if she did at least manage to land some kind of blow. Her shoulder connected with his, the impact of the blow even reverberating through her. It would definitely bruise, but that was fine by her. Her opponent made sure she had to keep moving as she felt him shift and twist, his head disappearing past the edge of her vision as he reached for her scruff. She attempted to duck out of the way, but with as close quarters as they were it was difficult for her to entirely escape his grasp. She felt his teeth on her scruff, but not as securely as he might have managed if she hadn't tried to drop down out of reach. Well, since her only option now was to try and "convince" him to let go, she twisted her head without pulling her neck away, turning her head to the side and tipping her muzzle up toward the sky until her antlers were pointed in his direction. She tossed her head back toward him, wanting to prod the side of his neck with her antlers to kindly tell him to get off her scruff!

A slip of the paw, but not of his own, decided the outcome of the fight. The grappling wolves fought against one another's strength to the bitter end, but in the end Artorias had better leverage over Víðarr's body, and with a smooth yank, he pulled the viking king off his feet and brought him to the ground. The Lord of Cinder was atop of him immediately, pinning his defeated opponent down with strong paws to the chest and sternum, looming over him with a triumphant grin and fire smoldering in his eyes. Víðarr had put up an excellent fight and rejuvenated some of the Lord's spirit! "Better luck next time, friend," he bantered playfully with his fellow alpha, stepping off his prone body so Víðarr could get back up and see himself off to the sidelines. Regardless of who won, the Hallows had prepared an enjoyable meal for the combatants at the end. Heiðinn was still their guests and friends, after all!

With one alpha down, Artorias turned his attention over to the lady of the mountains who had been watching her husband as Art had taken him down, shooting a playful grin at Tenshi with a challenging gleam in his fire-kissed eyes. "Care to dance, Tenshi?" He chuckled, teasing her as he stepped up to face off against the queen of Heiðinn. Artorias gave a shake of his coat to unruffle his fur where Víðarr had grabbed at it, then set his defenses, paws squared and muscles tensed. Once she was ready (because he was still a gentleman even in combat), Artorias opened their fight much the same as he did with Víðarr, charging for his opponent. However, this time he had a trick up his sleeve—using his nimble footwork, Artorias feigned a dip to the left only to sidestep right, aiming to place himself at Tenshi's side as he lunged for her, paws outstretched and seeking to wrap around her midsection so he might grapple with her if they collided.

Those sharp, almost icy appearing spines jutting from his face hadn't been noticed. As her legs wrap around his shoulders and she tries her best to avoid the dagger, she's surprised when pain slices across her foreleg. Her teeth grit together, head pulling back slightly as she watches blood begin to seep from her skin. Oh, so he had defenses huh? Well, so did she!

Bramble lets out a laugh as she pushes out her cat claws and attempts to dig them into his shoulders. A little cut from his cheek wouldn't deter her! With her grip tightly on the boy, Bramble tries to twist enough to bring him down and pin him to the ground.

Delphi's intense gaze meets the charcoal and antlered woman with poise and a refreshed expression. Just a hint of a smirk on her lips as the much larger fae approaches. Twice her size didn't intimidate her, nor did three times her size either. She had taken down bears before so another wolf would be nothing compared to her fighting history.

Spreading her paws slightly, shoulders hunched and ears flattened, Delphi watches with her heterochromatic eyes. She sees the girl lift up onto her hind paws, which for a split second confused her because well, Delphi was so... tiny. But hey, she'd use it to her advantage anyway! With Dusk's underside now available and the vulnerable bits open, Delphi dashes forward toward Dusk's hind paws. It's then that she sees the weapon tied neatly and securely to Dusk's tail.

Time for plan B. Instead of going for Dusk's tail in a playful tug-o-war fashion, Delphi lunges for her left hind leg and aims to grab on like a puppy that doesn't want their parent to leave them.

Artorias is able to best Vidarr and though it is her husband that loses, Tenshi smiles anyway. They were all friends after all and she wasn't petty enough to be upset over a friendly raid. Coming to stand as Artorias' attention turns to her, Tenshi dips her muzzle to him in greeting and out of respect as well. "You can show me all the wonderful dance moves Vidarr doesn't have," Tenshi teases back, her own steely blue gaze meeting the fiery embers of Artorias.

Shaking out her own fur and setting her defenses, Tenshi is more than ready to tango with the Aegis of the Hallows. When he comes toward her, she watches, knowing he is an expert at footwork and agility. His slimmer frame provides more speed than her bulkier weight, but his carelessness to come so close to her brings a smirk to her face. Standing firm as he feigns left only to go right, sliding along the side of her body, Tenshi leans into Artorias as he grapples her.

Once Artorias' has a firm hold on her, Tenshi lowers her head slightly, tilting her chin so that her antlers have a better angle. Aiming to gently touch the tips of her tines to his thigh, she smiles. "Wouldn't want to scar that pretty blue fur of yours, now would you?" She calls to Artorias, her eyes glancing backward at the Aegis.

Still The Raven Knows If I Fall

The woman ducked down but not far enough to escape his fangs. Úlfr's jaws seized hold of her scruff a bit farther down and he held fast. Out of the corner of his eye he could see her moving, her head suddenly whipped back, horns aiming for his face. Úlfr twisted his head to his left, facing down the woman's back as her horns bashed into the side of his helmet. Forced to relinquish his hold he swiftly went for another. Already facing down her back, he lunged once more, fangs aiming for her back, just behind her shoulders. Once again he wanted a grip and hopefully this time he'd be far enough back not to have to contend with her antlers.

Maki turned, just barely catching sight of an opponent rushing in. She was a little hurt they hadn't even said hello, she would have if the roles were reversed. She barely had enough time to react as he thudded into her, ramming into her shoulder and reaching out to bite the scruff of her neck.

"Ow ow ow!" Maki protested, it hurt a little, but not to the extent she was fussing over. It was more like...you know when you say hurt in anticipation, just out of habit more than actual distress. She reared her head back, hoping to give him a good bonking with her horns, that'd surely make him let go.

Maybe.

He didn't bite hard, was just a graze of teeth that didn't seem to bother his opponent much anyway. He'd only really had beef with one person and that's cause they were botherin' his Delphi, most grievances he was willing to let slide, probably too mellow for his own good. Which was to say this was all in good fun, he wasn't out to hurt anyone even if things did get a little rowdy. The Hallow's wolf was quick to yank him into a grapple, his words brought a smile to Kuroki's lips as he felt himself yanked aside, really had to spread his gait and work hard to remain on his four paws. He felt himself falter and angled to make a grab at his opponent as he fell, hoping to bring Mercury down with him. "Ey? You want me on top, suppose I could do that. I ain't fussy much."

A howl at the borders disturbed the peaceful spring afternoon in the Hallows. This was no call for her parents or for aid—this was a challenging howl; the Hallows was under attack! Ember had been enjoying the sunshine out in the gardens with a book from the library when the battle began, and moments later her father's summoning call rallied the warriors of the pack to arms. Literally tossing the book aside, Ember rushed back into the castle and up, up, up the stairs to her room to grab her sword and don her armor. With a whistle for her companions, the Carpathian princess was racing back down the stairs to go join the fray, eager for her first real taste of actual combat!

As Ember rushed to join the group, she stood at attention while her sire laid the ground rules. No blades and no excessive force. Aw, what the heck?! Weren't they trying to defend their home? Ember was confused, but sighed and reluctantly drove her sword into the ground near her father's so she wouldn't be tempted to use it. When she followed the charge out through the gate, she realized why they were holding back their force. The enemies at their gate were none other than Heiðinn! Ember's eyes widened with recognition as her gaze danced over Víðarr and Tenshi, watching her father wrestle with the other alpha and realizing then what this was—a friendly raid! The vikings weren't here to hurt them, but they were making for very good adversaries to practice their fighting skills with. Well, if it was a fight they wanted, then it was a fight she was going to give them!

Eyes scanning for opponents, Ember's vision settled on a Goliath of a woman, easily as tall as her sire! Dressed in dark fur hued in blue, she was waiting with an impatient energy, clearly just as eager to get into a fight, and Ember would be happy to provide! Grinning to herself, the princess darted straight for her, weaving in between the ongoing fights with nimble paws as she raced towards her opponent. Part of her epic hero monologue wanted to give a battlecry declaring for the Hallows, but the practical side of her didn't want to tip off her opponent. So instead, Ember settled on a fierce growl as she lunged at the woman, seeking to use her smaller size and agile stature to get in close and aiming a lunging bite up towards her throat, forepaws out and aimed to grapple around the taller wolf's neck.

"Ember Carpathius"

Tenshi's quip back brought a playful grin to the Hallows lord's face. It had been far too long since they'd had a chance to truly cut loose and have some fun and just smile. Heiðinn was truly doing them a great favor with this. But that didn't mean he was going to take it easy on them! He maneuvers in close, his body brushing the side of hers as she fails to prevent him from getting close enough to strike—but was it failure or part of her plan? Artorias wouldn't realize until much too late that he had played into her hand, and the moment he had his paws around her, he saw Tenshi turn her head to aim those antlers at him. He ducked his head to keep his face and eyes out of their way, used to sparring with an antlered wolf thanks to his wife, but unable to swing his body out of the way before her antler tip grazes against his thigh.

Artorias yipped in surprise and did a little hobbling side step to try and pivot his hips away from Tenshi's front, a roguish grin on his muzzle. "Careful! My wife's favorite parts are down there!" he remarked. Artorias relinquished his hold around Tenshi in favor of backpedaling away to keep her antlers away from his soft parts, taking a moment to reevaluate his strategy. Though fighting an antlered wolf was nothing new, Tenshi had both greater size and weight than Briar did, so his usual tactics wouldn't work. Time to adapt, improvise, overcome! Still at her side, Artorias continued his way around toward Tenshi's back end, aiming to lunge to grapple around her hips instead and hopefully use the momentum of his attack to take her back legs down with him.

Grappling with Kuroki felt more like a dance than a spar. The horned wolf didn’t seem terribly interested in fighting, but he was putting in the effort. It caught Merc by surprise in fact when suddenly the resistance against him vanished, and they were both falling. The best he could do was try to push off, and angle his fall to land on top. At the same time, his teeth aimed for Kuroki’s scruff. Trying to bring out a clear victor without hurting his opponent.
“You’ll have to fight me for it” he said in huffed laughter, continuing the verbal sparring along with the physical.

Astraios knew the moment he had first blood, and his grin only grew. He had spent so much of his life training to fight. So much of it in life or death situations. Fighting just for the sake of fighting was still relatively new to him. So far, he had only really fought with Delphi. Though that was a whole different kind of fun…

In retaliation, the paws against his shoulder suddenly turned sharp, and he realised she - like he did - had claws in her paws. He raised a brow, and extended his own claws as he shifted his head - struggling to support her weight on his shoulders - and swiped at the back of one of her forelegs. His own claws extended.

Nelu collided with the girl, his shoulder connecting and his fangs grabbing hold of her scruff, behind her head. She started protesting, stating 'ow' and Nelu meant that he was hurting her despite his best efforts but at the same time he'd been instructed that pain was a part of battle and they were invading. Nelu would do his best to defend his home, hopefully with as minimal bloodshed as possible.

Suddenly the girl jerked her head back, he saw horns heading for his face and quick let go but not quite fast enough to avoid her horns puncturing his right cheek, thankfully not very deeply but still enough to draw blood. Hoping to use his size to his advantage Nelu planted his front right paw and kicked his hind legs off hard, seeking to pivot on his right front paw and slam his left hip into the girl's right hip. He hoped it would be enough to knock her over.
