Ooc: My first spar

Haku

Haku padded onto the battlefield. He had seen it from afar but had never physically been on it. Aria had left Ludicael. Left Alacritis. His heart was broken. A fire was raging inside his very soul. A fire that needed to rage. He sought a spar. Something to relieve him of th fire inside. He had come to the battlefield. The only place to get such relief. Haku stood and waited, muscles tensed and senses alert in case any attacker dove straight into battle. The Autumn wind tugged and nipped at him as it flew by, the cold sun beating on his back mercilessly. The barren wasteland was menacing in the late Autumn morn.

His bleached paws would tear over the cold earth, winter was finding its grip quicker than expected. The confusion that ran through his mind had grown thicker as the days grew colder, and unconsciously he had found himself back where he had lost his first battle. Artemis had claimed her dominance over him those months ago, and now he felt the need to prove himself to himself. Did he deserve any type of respect if he could not even prove himself a worthy opponent? Well it seemed like he would find out today. He found himself once again at the rim of the battlefield, its contents scarce and quite desolate, save for the proud form that stood stoic. Was it possible that this wolf too needed to reassurance of battle. His lanky form would saunter closer to the other pale being, his own physique proudly showing. He was the size of a full grown wolf, almost a year old. He would find himself facing his opponent, face neutral. My name is Ares. I would like to challenge you to a spar. Speech,

Not long after arriving on the battlefield, a wolf entered Haku' s view. It was a young wolf. Cream pelt, purple eyes. Haku would look upon him, his own green orbs surveying the wolf. It wasn't what he expected, a little younger, but not to be underestimated. Haku' s muscles flexing, he would listen to the wolf's challenge and name. He would nod.
Very well, Ares. I am Haku, and I accept your challenge. Taking a few steps back so that he was about 2? metres away, after evening his weight on all four paws and digging in, he would state You may have the first move. He would raise his haunches, lower his head and narrow his eyes, tail stuck out straight behind him for balance. Facing Ares, he bared his teeth in a growl, a fierce growl showing the rage inside of him. Ready.

"speech"

As the youth would approach the other male would acknowledge his presence with a nod, very much in the same state of mind as Ares himself. Very well, Ares. I am Haku, and I accept your challenge. he would prepare himself for their battle before stating simply, You may have the first move. Ares would nod but he would not find himself attacking quite yet. He wanted to state his terms, he had no idea who this wolf was. Very well, but I have one term. I would like to walk away from this with out any permanent damage. He would state the terms in which they would battle before his demeanor totally changed. His hackles would raise menacingly as his ears fell back and his eyes would narrow. His pale maw would open slightly showing off the pearly incisors underneath as his knees began to bend and his toes became splayed. With his weight evenly distributed he would asses their distance, and with a snarl wretched across his features he would close the distance between them. With careful thought to where his weight would be placed he kept his center of gravity low, deciding not to take the high road. His spine, skull, and tail were streamline as he found himself before Haku. He would keep himself crouched to be shorter than the other male. He could feel his weight shifting to his front legs in an attempt to ram their chests together. His shoulders would roll to help protect his vulnerable neck as his gaping jaws widened. Neck would move to the right of Haku's head as the open jaws he had readied searched for a place to grip. He would aim for the man's neck, right where the jaw line would end. If he landed he would tighten his hold and pull back away from his opponent to further pull him off balance. Ares vs. Haku round one/four Attacks: He will attempt to make their chests collide and soon after try to take the man's neck into his jaws before pulling away again to throw him off balance. Defenses: hackles raised, ears back, eyes narrowed, jaws agape, knees bent when necessary, toes splayed, weight evenly distributed, vertebrae aligned, shoulders rolled, center of gravity lowered Injuries: none first round Speech,

Before he attacked, the man stated his terms. He wanted to not leave the battlefield with any severe injuries. Haku could deal with that. Nothing too severe. Got it. He nodded curtly, signalling he would accept these terms.
Readying himself again, he tensed his muscles, but not too tightly, he still wanted to be able to move if he had to. His tail was erect, Eyes slitted and focused on Ares. His opponent would get ready to attack. His own ears bent back, tail balanced and head down. Haku growled viciously.
Ares sped forward. He was quick. He was quickly in front of Haku. With only milliseconds to react, Haku managed to make a small step back, only a few inches to the right. The little that he had done didn't do much, though. Ares chests rammed into Haku' s own. He growled furiously. He felt his flesh pounding. Not very painful, mere bruising at the most, just annoying. Haku opened his jaws wide, razor teeth showing. Before he could attempt to bite, Ares managed to sink in his own teeth. The small knives cut through Haku' s thick fat on his haunches, they would protect him from too much damage. He ignored it as best he could. He attempted to sink his own teeth, his own jaws still open wide, into Ares' s right shoulder. Haku aimed for a piece of flesh just before his shoulder blades. If it landed, he would grind his teeth, trying to crush the flesh. As he aimed, Ares would tear back with his grip on Haku' s lower neck. Pain seared up his spine. The man would tug at it. Meat ripping underneath his fur. Haku' s eyes would burn with passion. He wanted to let this anger out. Their chests still together, if his bite to Ares' s shoulder succeeded, he would bump his chest against Ares' s again. He would attempt to drive as much force from where he was into the hit, hoping to make Ares move back or down. His paws would clench under him. He would put more weight on his front paws to attempt to put more weight into the hit. He would keep his haunches up and head lowered as best he could to try and protect his now teeth bearing neck for as long as he could. His tail would stay erect with his ears. He would keep his eyes slit as he fought.

"speech"

.ooc. to the judge: I talked to Rina and she thought that 'haunches' meant shoulder so that is what I am going off of for that particular attack. With raised hackles he would feel the force of their bodies colliding, Haku would take the brute end of the force, but already Ares could feel the discomfort in his muscles. He would not catch the ares he was seeking but instead take a giant mouthful of his opponents shoulder. He knew he would not cause much damage but he would do his best to use it as first intended. He would not feel the man fall back, but instead he could feel the flesh within his grasp pull away from the body. He would not have intended to cause so much damage, he just wanted to pull the other pale wolf from his paws. His eyes would narrow once more with felled ears as the other brute found his teeth into Ares' own shoulder. The teeth would serrate flesh for a moment before Haku found himself pushing into Ares pull. With splayed toes the youth would halt his retreat, putting more weight into his front feet as he started to push back at the brute. Satisfied that the shoulder wound was already bad enough he would release the now bloodied area. Shoulders would coil as red stained jaws would remain open as he now aimed for Haku's vulnerable neck vertebrae. If his attack was a success he would not aim to kill his opponent, but he would do his best to inflict enough damage that he would release his own shoulder. His knees would remain bent as he struggled to maintain the force that was being pushed upon him, keeping both partners locked in the same place. His tail would extend and adjust to his movement as he used it for more preferable balance as his spine and neck did their best to stay aligned during the fight. His claws would dig into the ground to also aid in keeping him in place. He could feel the extreme pressure that they were putting onto their chests and he would fight to stay upright. Ares vs. Haku round two/four Attacks: Pushing back into Haku as well as an attempted lunge for the back of his neck/head Defenses: hackles raised, ears back, eyes narrowed, jaws agape, knees bent when necessary, toes splayed, weight placed on front paws, vertebrae aligned, shoulders rolled, claws thrusted into the earth Injuries: a rather nasty gouging to his shoulder and probable bruising on his chest Speech,
