OOC: Seeing as this is an Arena thread, any objections to fighting in a colleseum?
Richard slowly walks to what appears to be a Colleseum, cracked and falling apart with age. It's marble arches barely sustainging the centuries of stone piled above.
As Richard enters the Arena, he spots a fox-man accross the floor, standing with a sword.
"What fell creature is this?" Richard thinks to himself, never before having seen a hybrid of this nature. "And what strange realm have I stumbled apon where man and animal are so freely mixed?"
Drawing his rapier, and approaching slowly, he calls out to the fox.
"How now sir, who are you, and why is your sword drawn?"
The fox creature responded, "I am Chrono, I come form the north, looking to fight."
"Surely you must have some other reason for travelling, not just the blood and stink of fights and death?"
"No, I search for a worthy opponent."
"Well, from your blade, it appears you have some knowledge of swordsmanship, will you consent to a bout?"
Chrono responded silently by bringing his sword to the ready
OOC: Chrono, seeing as you didn't specify a sword, I'm gonna write you with a katana, a perfectly decent weapon./OOC
Richard drew himself up, saluted his opponent, and pointed his rapier directly at his adversary.
The two met eyes, and without any signal, both new to fight.
Richards flurry of thrusts were easily knocked aside by the heavier blade of the katana. Pressing his advantage, Chrono leaped into the attack, pushing Richard backwards, using the weight of his weapin against the relatively slight Rapier.
With a massive overhead thrust, and an attempted block, both combatents were soon locked, hilt against hilt. Richard realised that he had the wieght advantage over the fox, and pushed with all his strength.
Chrono, realising what was happening, used Richard's strength against him, pulled him forward, and spun around, scoring the human's back as he stumbled past.
Richard turned around quickly, and brought his weapon to the ready again.
"Well done, Sir Fox, first blood to you."
