A nice trip to the hot springs

[Sanka]

Sanka grinned at his opponent. He was very light on his feet, and fluid too! this would be very interesting. Sanka backed away from his opponent a few feet and took a defensive stance. It was obvious his foe could evade attacks quite well, but how did he do while attacking? Sanka waited for his foe to make a move.

While waiting Sanka focused a small amount of attention on the fae. She wasn't watching the fight, nor was she trying to stop it. It seemed as though she was completely occupied with something else. He decided then to attack her next round. She was getting comfortable, and bored.

The sun was starting to hang low in the sky, casting an orange glow across the sky. Soon night would come.[/size][/font][/b]

[bloodmoonwolf]

Kauss new he had to move fast night was coming, night made him stronger, but it also helped his opponent. Doing his best to take things more seriously he watched as the other male took the defensive, indicating it was his turn to go for the attack. He couldn't help but catch the red-eyed male's glance at their seemingly bored spectator, was he really so eager to fight that he was already looking at his next challenge? if so did he plan on draggin her into their current fight or waiting until after he had finished him off? Kauss hope for the second while the she-wolf was also a loner and had cooperated so far he didn't want to have to rely on anyone in a battle situation.

Kauss sighed inwardly of all the wolves he could've run into he had to meet up with a fighting enthusiast. Growling lowly he charged rushing forward he nipped at the expecting male's flank doing little to know damage but catching his attention. Quickly he turned around not wanting to be caught with his back exposed. Again he lunged forward this time strait ahead once close enough he ducked low as if to creep through his foe's legs but then shot up his teeth aiming at the male's throat.

[Vivid]

From the sidelines it was quite clear to see what each of them were doing, and her alertness soon wandered fully to the fight. More on the pack wolf, as she caught him glance over at her for even a second. This had her fur crawling and a feeling in her stomach she didn't like. Vivid wondered over her options once again, fleeing or staying, fighting for being led out. Each conclusion she came up with seemed to be countered out by another thing. If it wasn't a pack land she was on, she'd of easily just left to hunt or something while the others fought. However, she didn't dare hunt on claimed territory, especially when she knew nothing about it. Oh why couldn't I have wings to just fly away? She thought to herself, snorting in displeasure. Her final conclusion was for her to just stay where she was and hope for the best, that including not being stalked up on by any other wolf. Hopefully the fight would end soon enough and she'd be out of here. That seemed too easy though.
Snapped back from her thoughts as the loner rushed the other male, she watched more amusedly, taking time to study the pack males moves, storing them in case she ever ran into him when he was in the same kind of mood. Which she hoped wouldn't happen, including today, right now. Vivid wasn't one to fight and was much more likely to just submit, but if he irritated her enough... What harm could it do? Her ears swiveled again to double check there wasn't anyone else around, taking a quick look around as well.

[Sanka]

Sanka was caught in thought when his opponent nipped him. He was busy thinking about the beast that lived within him and if he would be able to contain it against this wolf. The demon that lurked inside was usually dormant, but ever since Sanka released it to escape with his life from the jaws of Solace it hadn't settled again. Sanka didn't know what it was about Solace that drove the demon wild, but he was getting the same feeling now. Then he remembered, Solace also controlled shadows, as did the wolf that stood before him. Maybe it was seeking to test itself against other powerful casters. Whatever the case, if Sanka couldn't control it this sparring match would end in death.

Sanka snapped back to attention just in time to see his foe lunge, ducking under him and going straight for his throat. To many times had wolves tried to go for Sanka's throat, and almost all went about it that way. Sanka reacted with a move of his own. As his opponent came upwards Sanka moved his head in a counter-clockwise circle, removing his throat from its dangerous position. Now that his head was basically parallel to his foes he thrust his body to the right, hoping to catch his opponent off guard and cause him to stumble.

As he went in for his own attack he made eye contact with the fae again. She was watching him now, probably studying his moves. He cursed, this was why he always fought one on one in secluded places. he hated for people to see his moves, he hated for anyone who was there to be able to walk away with knowledge of his attacks and defenses. He would most certainly not use the power of his demon. No one could ever see that and live, none other than Solace, but that's fine, because Solace would soon die. And if that fae continued to learn his moves she might die before Solace.[/font][/size][/b]

[bloodmoonwolf]

Kauss grunted as he snapped at air and was shoved aside. Hopping a little on his side he managed to regain his balance. Tail wagging slightly he laughed, "Not to shabby red-eyes i might just get hurt fighting you!" Still grinning he began circling just out of reach, obvious attacks probably would't work on this one he might just have to use some of his magic, of course not if he could help it.

When he came closer to were the female lay he added, "What do you think silver-eye? Placing any bets?" Still circling he half wondered what was wrong with him maybe it was the heat but he couldn't help but have fun with it despite the fact he was fearsome wolf or maybe he was just excited by the others precedence it had been a while since he had interaction with any of his kind let alone a fellow shadow wielder.

He debated what to do next still circling carefully, fun or not pain was not his most favorite thing. However, this one was resourceful and since he had still seen little of his abilities Kauss decided it was best to wait rather than attack himself.

[Vivid]

Shivers ran through her as she caught the pack male looked straight at her, his gleaming eyes seeming to pierce through her, though they only met for a second. She looked down to the ground under her paws which she roused with a claw, making odd designs after assuming his look was a bad thing, and that she shouldn't be studying anyone around. She couldn't just watch them though, she had to Analise. After playing with the dirt she looked back up, soon having her own colour eye called, snorting softly. "I have a name, thank you. I'm sorry thee hasn't been a formal enough time to say it." A sigh slipped past her maw as she watched the loner circle, studying him now just in case tables were turned. "Vivid. And no, I'm not placing bets. However, if you won and got us a free walk out, that would be nice." A smirk came along her features before clawing at the dirt more, growing more weary of the place by the minute. The sounds of geysers going off, and the fact that night was soon going to come upon the three bothered her. The other two blended in more then she did besides the loners stripes of blue, which could be hidden simply by laying a certain way. She however, stood out with at least the bright yellows and oranges, the reds not too bad besides the brightest shades, mainly around her eyes. If she had to fight either of them she'd be at a disadvantage as time ticked by, wishing that the Gods would simply show her the way out, and to unclaimed lands. "Anyone else care to share their name? Or do I need to call you pack-face and loner-face?" Vivid was easily irritated by now, just how things were turning out, and if it got much worse she wouldn't be surprised. She just hoped the pack male was named Fluffy. That would make her day.

[Sanka]

Sanka looked over towards the fae. She had become more vocal stating her opinion on the match. Vivid, what a funny name, especially since she was covered with vivid markings. When she asked for names Sanka had to stop and think, he'd been called so many things in the past he didn't know exactly what to tell her. He decided to go with his birth name, it was probably the most pleasant of all his names.

"You can call me Sanka." he said. "Although pack-face is just as acceptable." he said with a chuckle.

His sparring partner had backed off once more. He was out of range for any quick attacks, so Sanka would have to close the distance then attack. He thought of all the things he could do but was left with only a few choices, each of which involved magic. Sanka didn't want to allow his foes to see his magic, but it seemed as though he would have to.

"Hey, don't tell anyone what i'm gonna show you." he said to both of them.

He ran towards his opponent, splitting into another wolf as he did so. He had used is effingo spell to create a clone of himself. Although it couldn't cause any damage it did a great job at creating confusion long enough to allow Sanka to attack. Sanka positioned himself directly in front of his foe and commanded his clone to take control of his opponents back. Sanka took position in the front because most opponents would expect their attacker to take this chance to attack from the blind spot, not directly in front. He waited to see how his opponent would respond before he launched his attack.[/size][/font][/b]

[bloodmoonwolf]

Kauss grunted quietly pleased by the red wold's response sure she seemed to be getting a little agitated but at least she was getting involved she might be a useful decoy later on, plus he now had their names, Sanka and Vivid, not bad though he'd prefer his usual nicknames.

He was considering whether or not he should give his name when Sanka, suddenly split in two and positioned himself, or selves strategically around him. Biting back his surprise Kauss tensed flicking back and forth between the two. They were identical of course so he wasn't going to figure it out by looks. This is definitely a problem two against one is never good especially since he didn't know what the clone could do. As a fellow shadow user he knew well that much of their abilities lay with illusions however some times even illusions could cause pain.

Ideally his foe would be behind him aiming at his blind spot however he didnt want to risk being wrong. He sighed irritatedly this was tanking longer than he wanted. Sudenlly his blue markings began to glow and his fur prickled with energy. "we've come to this then?" he growled at his opponent. Without warning darkness radiated from his body into tendrils that shot out behind him hungering to ensnare the wolf behind him while he charged teeth bared at the enemy in front.


OOC: sorry its so late i posted it earlier but i didnt show up

[Vivid]

OOC: Mine are always late. x.x; So don't worry. Lol.

The pack wolf had given his name, and she dipped her head in a sort of greeting. Even though he wasn't paying attention to her anymore. What he said after though, caught her by surprise. With a sort of giggle she blinked, not helping but to smirk. "Hmm, it'll be a hard decision. I might switch between the two." And two there was. Within only a second the pack wolf, Sanka, had duplicated himself. Even watching, she was completely unsure of who was who, and watched in terror as the unnamed male was in the middle of the two beasts. "Hmm.. Shadow magic..." She muttered, and continued to watch intently. They both were using magic now, and she figured her own wouldn't do ant good had the loner of been her.
OOC: I'm also sorry that sucked. >< I dunno much to say or do when I'm not part of the fight. xD Watching can be hard to describe.

[Sanka]

Sanka smirked. That was a very unigue trait. Most Shadow users didnt solidify the shadows unless they were in compacted ball like projectiles. But this loner, he did it like second nature. Very intriguing. Sanka was say that he had to dodge fangs while his clone got the easy task of avoiding a few tentacles. Sanka withdrew his clone, there was no reason for him to use it any longer. As it vanished Sanka smiled at his agressor.

"Umbra Paw." he said quietly, as if whispering to the wind.

Quickly shadow energy formed at Sanka's feet, flowing off of them like black flames. In a flash Sanka was out of of danger and heading for a high point on top of a couple nearby boulders. His Umbra paw triples his regular speed. He was still visible by eye, but nearly impossible to catch, especially straight on. As he made it to the top his Umbra paw wore of, dissipating in a few seconds. He wanted to test just how far those tentacles could stretch.

Sanka was the kind of fighter who would push his opponent to the limit, just to see exactly what he was dealing with. His mind would take thousands of photos of their moves storing them in cabinets located in Sanka's mind, and at any time Sanka could refer to one of those pictures. His memory made him almost impossible to fool twice. The only problem was that it was still light out and that meant his opponent wasn't at his peak power. Whatever information Sanka was getting now would have to be thrown out. Then he remembered the Fae. He didn't even know what kind of magic or strength she possessed. He quickly charged up a Shadowball and fired it her way.

O0c:Well now you can join the fight![/size][/font][/b]

[bloodmoonwolf]

Again snapping at air Kauss skidded to a stop, he drew his shadows back into his-self not wanting to waste any energy now that his initial target was at a safer distance. two so far, he new spells had their limits and now he new of two of Sanka's the clone, and this sudden enhanced speed.

"Running away are you packy?" he called at his adversary. His smirk tore into a grin when Sanka sent a shadow ball at the fae maybe now she could be of some use. Not wanting more than one enemy he kept his attention on the male making no effort to either help or hinder Vivid.

He advanced slowly making a point not to regain the male's attention until he had covered the majority of the distance "your a feisty one you are, makes me wonder what you expect to gain from all this." He mused staring quizzically at Sanka trying to decide his next move.

OOC:sorry its so lame i couldn't think of anything

[Vivid]

She watched the clone poof into nothing and Sanka jump out of the way, blinking at the speed he gained, assuming it to be magic. As he was placed up on the rock she froze, soon having a dark ball tossed her way. Her magic did no good unless she was close, not wanting to use so much energy calling forth a beast to try and take down the pack male. She sprung to her paws and dashed aside of the darkness that came closer and closer, once she knew she was safe she dropped to a lower position, snarling. "Picking on everyone, aren't you?" Her thoughts raced, and she knew she couldn't get up to where he was. She was useless and just in danger until he came down. Then she looked to the male not far in front of her. Quickly she paws forward, speaking in asoft whisper next to him. "Get him down here if you can. I don't have ranged attacks." With that she slink off aside, not wanting to be caught up in any of their magics, or a hit that was meant for the loner.

[Sanka]

'Dammit it, she didn't use any magic.' Sanka thought frustrated that he didn't gather the information he wanted.

He ignored her taunt. He wasn't a bully and wasn't picking on anyone. He was just having fun. She dodged out of the way easily escaping while the ball of shadow energy continued on its straight path into the ground leaving behind a small crater.

Then the male spoke. Sanka puzzled his question. He wondered why everyone always thinks your out to get something from every action you do. Sanka wanted nothing more than a little fun. "I'm just trying to have a little fun." Sanka called to him. Now that Sanka had answered the question he began pondering ways to continue the fight from his new position. He was too far too attack either one without using his magic. He jumped down, landing gracefully after his 30 foot fall. Immediately upon touching the ground he sped towards the male, he ran in a serpentine pattern hoping his opponent wouldn't be able to keep up with his exact location.

Once the distance was finally closed Sanka cut across from right to left teeth bared any ready to take a hold of his foes font right leg.[/size][/font][/b]

[bloodmoonwolf]

"Fun?" Kauss muttered, strange indeed. Distracted by his thoughts he wasn't prepared for Sanka's approach or the pain that came with it. He yelped in surprise as his right foreleg was enclosed by those wicked teeth. Gritting his teeth in pain he pulled back trying to shake the other wolf off.

"You have painful perspective of a good time!" he grunted at his attacker

Anger surged as his fur came alive with dark energy crackling along his spine and coursing around him making his fur prickle and fluffed with rolling power. Jerking back again he focused on his leg hoping to throw the other male of of him with sheer magical force. Teeth bared he glanced at the she-wolf flicking his head, inviting her to join in as he opened his toothy maw and lunged at Sanka's exposed shoulder.

OOC: Happy Halloween!

[Vivid]

OOC: I am so sorry you two. x-x I've been grounded and my internets been messing up, keeps going down. But I'm back now. ^^;
Vivid hoped that the loners magic had a friendly fire setting, because he didn't even need to look at her for her to join in the brawl when Sanka came at him. Instantly she casted her Fire Fang since Sanka seemed busy with the loner, letting her inflictions on him burn on contact. The loner was safe and nothing he did effected this nor would he be effected, but if attention was drawn to her, she'd be in for it. A single bite or scratch from either of the two, and she'd experiance the same burning Sanka was about to feel. With her spell casted she dived into the two-wolf pile, maw open as she lunged for the pack wolves right haunch, hoping to make decent contact.
