ooc: simple spar, no serious damage!

Valhalla knew that he needed to keep himself sharp, to keep up with keeping his moves and training up and keeping his body and mind aligned. Every new day that passed on meant it may be one day closer to war. He'd been cooped up within the Oasis borders the past several days patrolling, ensuring that their markers were always smelling strong. But today he needed more. He needed to stretch his legs - and his claws. The pink titan padded toward the middle of The Pit, golden eyes taking in his surroundings. This was holy ground for the Viking, a place where arguments and dislikes could be settled out in a brutal and fair way. But today he was merely seeking a partner to spar with, nothing too serious, just something to keep him from going mad.

He'd let out a series of deep chuffs, calling out to anyone within earshot that would like to partake in a friendly duel of sorts. Once finished would his body slip into their defenses. Shoulders would roll forward as all four limbs bent slightly, adjusting his weight between them all. Neck would tuck in to protect his jugular and ears would find themselves weaving into the thick of his mane to protect themselves. Tail would hang limp between his hind legs, waiting to be used for balance, his claws slipping from their sheaths and gripping into the gritty earth below. Now it were time to wait.

@Aquila

table by sentinel / lion + cliffs

Aquila came to stand over across from Valhalla. Squaring up against the Viking for battle felt natural and caused a surge of adrenaline to flood through his system. From his parted lips came a chuff of acceptance and acknowledgement both- Aquila would be Val's opponent today. Once sure that the Andal Noble was prepared and ready to be engaged Aquila sprung forwards aiming to approach Valhalla head on. His strides were long and steady into the fray, confident while a pleased smile bloomed uncontrollably over his face. Not wanting to harm Valhalla too badly Aquila would control his approach, not aiming to collide into Val. His right paw, claws retracted, reached forwards and aimed to curl around behind Valhalla's left elbow and "grab" the location with his paw and pads upon it.

Valhalla was both surprised and delighted that his King was the one who answered his call. Golden eyes would watch the Valour as he settled before him, a nod being given in acceptance. Once they had greeted one another would @Aquila spring into action, the Viking's narrowed gaze not leaving the male. As he closed the distance and charged toward Valhalla, he would react by swinging his back half toward the right, his front half drawing itself away from Aquila's attack on his left elbow but not taking him out entirely from the right paw hitting on something. Instead of wrapping around his elbow would Aquila's paw his his chest, and as it did this would Valhalla extend his neck out toward the limb. Jaws would open and would attempt to grab onto the Oasis ruler's left leg in a soft hold. He wasn't going to bite down and attempt to injure his friend, just a firm hold on his leg to try to throw him off balance. The beast's tail flailed behind him, helping with balance and his legs stayed bent with claws unsheathed to continue to grip into the ground.

Tyr will just be watching from the sidelines. No need to worry about him responding. Just keep him out of the post order please! :3

Tyr had been passing though when suddenly his attention had been grabbed by the release of several loud chuffs from what seemed to be originating at the bottom of a rather deep crater in the earth's crust. Intrigued, Tyr's ears perked forward as he trotted toward the sound. Unless he was mistaken, it sounded like a challenge of some sort, and Tyr was excited to see some ACTION!

A wicked smile spread wide across his maw as he made his way to the edge of the pit. Below he could see two lions beginning to fight! Tail lashed behind him as he lowered himself to his belly, front paws clinging to the ledge as he hung his head down and watched the brawl!

He was placing bets with himself on the colorful one!

@Valhalla surged forwards, Aquila's heart raced and with each step the pink viking took to bring their clash into reality the smile over the Sovereign's face grew wider, brighter. Val's jaws relented and grasped around Aquila's left forelimb, the pressure uncomfortable with some skin fraying open below the teeth and tension. But damage was minimal, the blood that began to smear was superficial and of no concern. But it did leave Aquila in an awkward, off balanced position with Valhalla grasping his arm. He was staggering to the right, favoring that side and shifting his weight. To help balance and in launching his next attack he aimed his head to his left, aiming to grasp his teeth within Valhalla's mane and shove forwards.

Valhalla would be successful with his jaws grasping around @Aquila's left front leg, feeling his fangs prick into the skin slightly but not enough to cause any real harm. As the Valour shifted and pushed forward would the the pink colossal let go of his grip on the leg, jaws snapping shut and his body pushing forward in an attempt to thwart Aquila's own attack. He were attempting to have the male's face slam into his chest a lot more quicker than maybe the Oasis King had wanted, and even though this would cause for a sore chest if it were successful, Valhalla would find it a little funny. As he did this would his right front leg lift from the ground, paws striking toward the lion with claws partially sheathed. He was attempting to hit at the area on Aquila's right side where the ribs began, to have his claws prick at the skin but not do too much damage. Defenses would be shifting as he were now on three limbs to balance, tail lashing out behind him.

Aquila was pushed suddenly by @Valhalla's chest across his muzzle. He felt the strain on his muscles as he made contact on the Viking unexpectedly sooner than intended and the joint was pushed back, strained and aching at the edges. Simultaneously Val's forelimb stuck upon his right side, impacting the muscles over the front of his rib cage and prickling open the skin below his bronze fur. Left lightly bleed Aquila grumbled a growl, drawing upon the joys of the battle and the thrill. He opened his jaws and aimed to grasp again into Valhalla's mane, give the offending Viking a light shake and pull his hairs for that little chest bump maneuver.

He would feel his friend collide with his chest, a subtle smirk appearing on inky lips. He couldn't help but feel a bit amused by his successful push, and having his left paw secure its mark on @Aquila's right side would further cause for a giddiness to rise within him. As paw slammed back onto the ground would he feel the grasp of the Valour's jaws around a thick chunk of mane, feeling hairs being pulled and some even being pulled out. It were an uncomfortable feeling, causing for Valhalla to let out his own growl in rebuttal. Turning his maw to his right would he then allow for his jaws to open, attempting to pinch the left side of Aquila's face with his front teeth. His weight would shift between all fours and his muscles would stay tense, tail continuing to lash behind him.

Ragnarok Awaits

It was a rather enticing battle. The victor not who was expected to win in Tyr's eye, however... it was strangely telling. He felt the winds shift, a darkness settle. It was almost as though he was watching through a portal to future events. A strange feeling indeed... something Tyr did not quite understand, nor did he mean to figure it out. He had gotten what he had come for. Learning through observation. He would come away with plenty more than he had come for.

He rose from where he eagerly sat and made his way from the pit for now.

Exit Tyr
