IC:

They sky grew dark from it's usual lustrous glow on a mid autumn afternoon. Dark clouds began to boil in the heavens and shadows cast themselves eerily upon the open meadow. One moved faster then the natural ones surrounding it. Ebony coat far darker then that of the shadows surrounding the fighting area moved upon swift appendages to a destination they dreaded to touch. Pitch pads hardly scratched at the summer-hard land beneath the barren death grounds, but still their master kept going. The clouds above rumbled as if the gods were bowling upon the mountaintops, and most of the creatures were now hiding within dens; retreating themselves from both the storm and the battle that was to come.

Through the crisping brush and bramble, the Dragga cantered, the leaves changing from lustrious green and emerald, to a dieing auburn and amber. The trees were nearing their time to become cold and hybernit for the upcoming autumn and winter months ahead. Several had already begun the change from green to gold and red, though many still held their emerald leaves dearly. As the ebony male slowed his pace, he found the meadow where fights were to commence; a large hardly grassy dirt filled meadow, surrounded on all sides by large sicamores, maples, oaks and dogwood trees. The area for fighting was nearly the size of a football feild in both length and width, though was more an oval shape then a rectangular from a skyward appearance.

The hard dirt rose from the ground in short puffs beneath the Dragga's ebony paws, his coat of raven black gleaming in the little light left from the storm clouds above. Solar was on his way, he could feel it in the passing icy breeze and the fork of lightning that streaked from one cloud to it's counterpart brother. The challenged had come, and stood in a proud and defiant manner, tail high and head raised. His hackles rose gently off his whithers and along his spine while ebon claws gripped the dry earth in earnest. Golden hues glinted feircly in waiting; Orion was ready...

Battle Commence after this post.
(Good luck, both of you)

IC:

While the ebon male stood in waiting, the lightning forked ever more within the dark clouds. Streaks were seen crashing to earth and slicing at other pitch black clouds in turn. The wind shook the branches of the trees, and a single light of gold shone for a second on the sidelines of the battle arena chosen. Before one could notice the stream of light, a fork of the deadly electricity grabbed the golden shimers of heaven and glowed with their effect. The daffodil fork of lightning struck the ground with great force, just barely missing the tree and brush line of the arena. There, where the lightning had been a split second before, stood the golden Solar, god of the sun.

In all his glory, he stood just as dominantly as Orion was, his gold pelt glowing and shedding the only light upon the area that was to be seen. The clouds above rumbled louder in anger, but the pupilless God paid their grumbles no mind. The sky was full of a storm that was fast approaching this part of the forest of Alden. It begged with the sun god to allow the swelled rains within it to pour, but Solar would not have it, not yet at least.

"Orion." The mighty god called, his voice powerful and regal to any ears around. "Ready yourself for your challenger. I bid you good luck...my son."

As Darkness covered the entire meadow ebony mitt’s moved swiftly across the terrain as the czar made his way. His head high and his golden eye’s piercing through the darkness. Knowing there was no turning back now the challenge was accepted if he gave up now he would be announced as a coward one not worthy to carrying the title of Dragga. He had to go on for his pride as a czar, and the title being a dragga was wanted and so badly was it needed he would fight for it. So he continued onward his mitt’s finally touching the battled scared land his ebon hide blinding in with the darkness that surrounded them. His golden orb’s locked upon the two figure’s Solar god of the sun and Orion dragga of the Kohatin.

No words were exchanged from the male. There was no need luck could not help them now. They would have to use their own fighting skill’s to win. Ebony lip’s curled back in a snarl and, the hair’s around Bandit’s lifted. His tail gradually rose in defiance fro the dragga. Knowing the consequences for losing he still kept his glare. Hid golden orb’s boring into the male’s own. The time for waiting was over the was to begin and the battle for dragga would commence.

[Yes I have no muse so excuse this post.]

[Orion]

An ear flick, was all that the god received from the mighty Dragga's end. The first auditory was followed shortly by it's counterpart, both moving foreward in dominance. The fur along Orion's spine rose high with the heaven's, and his sharp claws gripped the earth in earnest. With tail and head high already, a light snarl began to crease back upon the ebon male's muzzle. Ivory canines were easily visable within the darkness of the arena with which blood would be spilt this thunderous night. The clouds above stampeded once more across the heaven's, and another fork of white light struck the ground illuminating both ebony figures for but a moment before the just visable darkness surrounded them once more.

"You have no honor, pitiful bastard." Orion growled, his paws beginning to move foreward toward his opponent slowly, every step regally owned with pain and loathing following close at hand. His ruff about his neck was full and his coat was thickly made on Orion's body, bulking him up further. Lean and powerful muscles contracted beneath his sinuy fur, aching to be used in a vicious combat; begging their owner to allow an appendage to lash out at the defiant beta. Golden orbs gleamed only of hatred and suffering as they peirced the equally gold eyes of Bandit. A sneer rose upon Orion's powerful maw, his whole stature itself impressive to any wolf of Alden's many forests.

"You are nothing more then a scrawny coward; fight me if you dare, and I'll show you what true power really is..." He snarled, stopping about three feet from Bandit's snarling maw. Orion was taunting his beta male, for the Dragga never made the first move. He always gave it up, so that he could test his adversary easier...

[bandit]

Ebon ear’s perked up instantly ad the male talked. A sly smirk creeping onto the male’s maw. Pitiful I think not. The only bastard I see is before me. You let them pitiful beat’s that dare call them self’s wolves’ come upon your land and you did nothing. You let them go, you let them live. And you dare call ME a coward. said Bandit his tone clearly showed he was taunting the male. Wanting to make him angry cloud his mind before the fight. As the male stepped closer Bandit’s fangs lashed out angrily at him. Licking his maw hungrily Bandit lowered his body even more not from respect from his dragga but for the attack that was to come.

Eye’s narrowed and limb’s ready to spring Bandit pounced at the male his maw opened wide aiming for his neck as he tried to over turn the wolf onto his back. Yes a stupid first move from the male but he already knew his attack would surely not be all too painful for the wolf. He wanted to see what the male could do before first before making the dragga submit. The fight for dragga had begun who would win? Who knew but Bandit was surely never gonna getup into the pain was too much to bare.

[Orion]

'Ah a mimik, not bad for a pup...' Orion thought keenly to himself, watching Bandit with those cold golden orbs. The muscles in Bandit's legs contracted, and his claws gripped the earth. 'But a pup none the less...' the Dragga's mind swirled in his own devious thoughts, watching as if in slow motion while Bandit made his feeble first attack. Sure, to any other it was a very brave and cunning move, but not to the experience Orion. Oh no, the first to attack, was almost always, the first to fall.

Quick as lightning and light on his paws, Orion dodged the frontal assault toward his thick neck fur, and merely swung to the side. This time, his ivory fangs were unleased, a blood lust twinkling in his darkening eyes. Before Bandit had time to hit the ground and swerve around for another attack, Orion grabbed him savagly by the side of his neck just below his cranum bone, ivory canines becoming stained with the liquid that would surely begin to trickle from the Beta male's neck. The bite was hard and excruciatingly painful, for it was in a spot where sensitive nerves traveled up and down Bandit's body; Orion's attack, would surely be felt by the many pain receptors there. With teeth only an inch apart because of the skin between the mandible and the maxila, Orion tugged with hardly any force at all, just to tear skin, just to let loose more of Bandit's life fluids, just to be more dominating; Just to cause more pain.

But a split second later, his ivories released, stained halfway up with Bandit's blood, the lower part of Orion's ivory jaw stained red aswell. It wasn't a lot that came out of Bandit, but it was enough for a few dribbles to stain. A snarl so feirce echoed from the dominant male Orion, before he, like Bandit, rushed at his beta front paws coming out first just to knock him over while his maw stood ajar waiting to taste more of the luscious fluid Bandit held just beneath the skin and fur of his treatcherous hide. No one, insulted Orion, esspecially while his own father stood watch, and lived to tell the tale.....

((Just a summary of the attack: Side Neck Bite, and a pounce. Possible blood loss; strength of flow determined by victim (Bandit). ))

[bandit]

Bandit snarled angrily as the male dodged his attack and suddenly countered with an attack to his neck. The pain suddenly came to him, a burning sensation building up as red liquid poured from his neck, staining his ebon coat. Suddenly the pain resided as Orion let go and jumped back. Bandit growling fiercely the rumble in his throat never ceasing once. Blood dripped slowly from the wound in his neck as Bandit’s golden orbs narrowed as the dragga pounced by pure strength able to knock him down. Bandit feeling his back make contact with the ground He quickly spread his limb’s out and rolled over, once completed his quickly got to his paws and pounced the pain in his neck throbbing and dripping of his blood. Bandit quickly opened his maw and canine’s exposed he attacked he aimed to grab hold upon Orion’s neck as his paw’s aimed to knock the over grown male over.

[Worst fighting post I ever did.]

[Orion]

Orion's eyes darted to Bandit's movements, noting where his fangs were going to hit, and how he was going to try and trip him up. The clever and larger male side stepped again, though he allowed Bandit's fangs to dig within his thickly muscled shoulder as much as he wanted, instead of his neck. Pain shot through Orion like white hot fire, and Bandit would easily be able to taste the red life fluid dripping from his shoulder wound. But because Bandit's attack would hit him in the shoulder instead of the neck, Orion was able to keep his balance and not be pushed over like a lame pup.

Fire burned in the Dragga's eyes and he reached his neck around, snapping easily at the first thing he could make contact with; Bandit's face. In utter pain himself, Orion bit down hard on Bandit's muzzle, his strong ivory canines digging into the roof of his nose and applying presure to try and break the Beta's nose. In consequence, this forced more pressure to be given onto his own shoulder, but the blood that seeped into Orion's wanting muzzle was much more compensation for the flesh wound Bandit was inflicting.

((Sorry not my best...so here's a recap of the attacks and counters...: Bandit's attack misses but grabs Orion's Shoulder instead of his neck; Fails to trip him.
Orion bites Bandit's muzzle causing further pain to himself and applying a great amount of pressure to Bandit's nose, giving the impression that if continued it would split and break..))

[bandit]

[Yo Question would it not be power playing if most of my attack’s keep missing and your keep hitting? Cause first my attack missed then you attacked and didn’t give me a chance to dodge, and now you bite his muzzle when I never said he let go. I know your post are more descriptive then mine but plz answer before I continue. I’m not accusing anything just asking.]

[Orion]

((That's a good question Bandit...And hopefully I can give you a good answer to it..

You'd think it'd be powerplaying, but actually it's really not. Because, Yes you missed the first time, you caught him the second, and coincedently I'm making your attack more effective with my own if you will. So yeah, I'm biting your nose, but your also digging your teeth into my shoulder, at the same time. This cancels out any kind of power playing because your attack is actually working. You made contact.

Now, if you'd rather not cause pain to Orion, by Orion's own fault, then please tell me so now, and I'll change my post lol. Cause that's basically what's happened. I'm hurting myself, with your mouth.

How it would be powerplaying, is if I had decided to dodge your attack and bite you, in the way that I described in my post. Then that would be powerplaying, because I would then not have given you the chance to fight back and defend yourself. But since you had already attacked me and I allowed you to have contact, then I'm basically just countering your own attack that's all. It's a simple counter, but I made it realistic. In the wild, if these two were really fighting, this probably would be a very common looking battle stance. With one grasping the shoulder and the other grasping the muzzle of their attacker.

Also, you have to understand, that Orion is 125lbs...He's large, even for a male alpha (and yes, I'm not making that up, some Alphas do actually get that big), so it's pretty hard to just stick out your leg and trip him, that's why I said it failed. It wouldn't be realistic if something that bulky tripped over something so small without regaining his balance. I'm not saying Bandit himself is small, but the move in comparisson is...understand? I hope I'm not being to harsh with my answers to your question. Plus, I hope I answered your question to the extent of my ability. ))

[bandit]

Bandit held on as the crimson liquid started to stain his maw as Orion clamped his maw shut with his own fangs. Crimson dagger’s snaked into his maw as Bandit continued to hold on, Finally enough was enough if he did not act soon the pain would be unbearable. Trying to pulled his maw back his fang’s still stuck in Orion shoulder as he tried to tear the flesh and get out of the hold.

[Sorry for the shortness but hey I didn’t now what to do for once. Ya had me stumped there.]

[Orion]

((Woah, Sorry about the delay Bandit...I've been swamped with homework from college....Anyhow, I got a couple messages from Lunar about this fight, and I made some times to try and finish it. Again, sorry about the delay))

Orion's skin tore and more blood oozed from the already fresh wound. A snarl and a yipe escaped the dragga's maw, as he released his attacker to free his shoulder of Bandit's fangs. The tearing flesh soon tore straight off, a fairly small chunk hanging in Bandit's mouth, while a larger peice flapped off the muscle of Orion's shoulder and hung limply. Blood stained Orion's leg and red streamed across his golden orbs. Bandit would pay for that.

Careful to keep his wounded side away from his attacker Orion grabbed at Bandit's neck just under the jaw line to the side, clamping his mouth shut like a vise and squeezing his fangs into the skin, peircing flesh, veins, and hopefully a tube Bandit needed to keep intact. Orion's eyes turned red and his coat shone pitch as the blood lust continued, another few trickles gathering upon Orion's desperate tounge. But upon finding no trachea punctured, the massive male let go and backed up a few steps, allowing the cool breezes to sting another wound given by Orion.

"Give up Pup. You can't beat me. You are weak and useless, a disgrace to wolves everywhere. " Orion snarled, his maw now red atop ebony with the blood from Bandit and his own. A few crimson drops fell from his whiskers before a thought struck him, a coniving and evil thought, but a thought none the less that would give him, an advantage.

"No wonder you could not get a more trustworthy mate other then the scrawny likes of Kiba. A baren female a mate to an insufficient male....how touching." Orion knew he'd be pulling on some heart strings, and he hoped for it. He was now challenging Kiba's ability to bare and care for cubs, as well as Bandit's ability to produce offspring of hi own. It was a double blow, meant only to torturize and taunt....

[bandit]

Bandit snarled as Orion’s fangs were released from his maw. Snarling all the while his lip’s pulled back as he attacked him once more shutting his maw in pain he grunted his aud’s perking as Orion’s comment reached his aud’s. Orion’s pitiful comment reached his aud’s. Slowly opening his man to drop Orion torn flesh he spoke his blood stained fangs and blood stained body making him look even more vicious.

Me a disgrace? I think you have it wrong Orion You are the disgrace you have a mutt for a mate she can’t even keep herself up in a fight she demand’s fear but receives none, I pity you Orion, I really do you wish to talk of my mate yet look at your own! Look at you you’re so blinded by love you cannot really see her for what she truly is…

Bandit Spoke with pure honest he did not care for what Orion was planning, he could have been tricking him trying to get him worked up or he could himself merely be stain what he thought was the truth. Bandit already knew the truth he had seen her in battle had seen her try to attack an innocent pup for what reason to get it shaken in fear.

You want an alphess you can trust yet look at her. You let her command your pack while your away you let her scare away your member’s. She attack’s I my self will prey upon pup’s just to shake them up but I would never sink so low as to attack one. Yet you did you’ve became a mate to a fae who has to attack pups to get fear out of someone.

Snarling once more he lounged at the male his fang’s open once more as he swiftly aimed for the leg. As his maw neared however he shifted upward his fang’s now aiming for his neck, his jugular his attack so close it would be hard for the male to dodge. No he did not aim to kill him but still he wanted to win. The pain in his body was becoming terrible his neck bled freely while his maw did the same. His inside’s were burning as he attack.

[Come on man your not giving me time to dodge I already know a fight with just dodging would be boring but hey you gotta give me a chance to dodge an attack while fighting.]
