Home, sweet, home! Or at least, a second home. She was disappointed she couldn't claim this place as her own, it really did hold a special place in her dark little heart. She loved it here! The smell of blood, the stained dirt, the bones and the screams, and the smell of despair, blood, sweat, and tears! It was too bad, really. This place would've made the perfect home. But alas, at least it wasn't too far from pack lands and she could visit as much as she wanted! She was in the mood for a fight...or maybe she could find someone to add to Insomnia's ranks! They needed fresh blood, and definitely needed more able-bodied fighters...or meat shields...anyone, really, that they could throw at invaders. With her classic mischievous grin, the Wraith stopped in the familiar clearing and sent a call in the air. "Medusa"

Bylgja had heard of the Battlefield, and had been interested in journeying there almost immediately upon finding out what it was, and what its purpose was. The powerful woman strode into the expanse, her head up, sniffing deep at the air, her tail twitching. There was the smell of blood ground into the dirt, and elsewhere-- she could hear clashing jaws, snapping teeth. More promisingly, there was a call, and Bylgja thundered towards it, returning a call of her own, whipping her axe off of her side, clenching it tightly in a starvingly-eager grasp before just barreling towards her opponent, bringing the axe up in a wild swing, taking a wide swipe at Medusa's chest with the blade as she aimed to thunder past her, almost jousting with the other woman. Why talk? They were both here for a reason. No need to waste time. "Bylgja"

A howl in the air answered her call, and Medusa looked toward the direction she heard it coming from. Over the horizon, another wolf quickly came into view. Medusa grinned as she saw the colorful woman, strange markings upon her frame, and her head tilted as she focused on them for a few brief moments. She didn't quite notice the woman started barreling toward her, axe in her jaws and was aiming straight for her. Classic Medusa, distracted and interested in those markings on the woman's face. Before she knew it, she felt a weight in her side, throwing her off balance as Umbra knocked her body into Medusa's, throwing her out of the way of that swinging axe. Only then did Medusa realize the fight was already starting as the wind from the axe whizzed by her head, Umbra barely getting out of the way in time herself. With a snarl and a cackle, Medusa jumped to her feet and aimed to throw her body into her new opponent, teeth seeking to grab the back of her scruff in an effort to control her head, sharpened claws reaching for the back of her opponent's foreleg in a bid to score her claws down the length of it. She didn't want that weapon swinging toward her again!

The other woman responds well to the battle challenge, at least. She snarls, and cackles, and Bylgja laughs in delight, her eyes sparkling with a wonderfully happy light-- the raw, unhidden delight of success. This will be a fight to remember, and Bylgja doesn't even care if she wins or loses. It's the fight that matters. It's the action. As the other woman grabbed at her scruff and scored a hit, Bylgja reacted quickly, bracing herself down for a moment before surging upward, howling in delight -- "Hah! Is glorious fight!" As she sought to throw the woman bodily off of her, using superior weight. There was no malice, even as the woman scratched her leg, just the raw, thoughtless joy and delight of a battle at hand. Her tail was wagging. Here was a fighter who met another fighter, and Bylgja was not at all concerned with the dramatics beyond the action, the rush of form and function. "Glory!" "Bylgja"

Ha! She giggled with glee as she grabbed onto the woman's scruff, though her forward momentum would be against her as her opponent appeared to brace herself, and next thing Medusa knew, she was being met with the back of her opponent's head. Her snout met her opponent's skull, and her eyes watered as she released. Backing off for a moment to reposition herself, she caught the laughter and the words from the woman she was sparring with. Okay, she liked this woman! Hell, her tail was even wagging! It wasn't often that Medusa met others that felt the pure, raw, and wild joy in fighting! She herself was a feral fighter, everything she did was unpredictable with little thought to it in most cases. This woman though? She could definitely get on board with her energy! With a growl, Medusa lunged forward, diving in behind Bylgja's elbow as she sought to drive the point of her shoulder into the start of her opponent's ribs, head turning toward Bylgja's neck as teeth sought to grab and drag her down.

Oouf!

Bylgja found herself wrenched off of her feet by the other woman, thrown to the bloodstained sands. She didn't frown or struggle, though she did submit with a quick cry of "Damn, okay!"

Once she was down, Bylgja tried to crane her head to look at the winner, a grin crossing her scarred maw. She huffed a breath.

"You ever... thought about getting... tattoos? Fighter like you? Have a bunch!" Her tail wags.
