Completed Conditioning (Kyra)

[Aello]

Spring 15, 513 AV The sky's blue was soft, as was the light of the sun, filtering through the breaks in the trees. Lobed leaves rustling delicately in the breeze alongside the voices of birds who no longer had their own faces. Their chorus carried through the air; a warm lilt which caressed the Treaver's reddening cheeks as her muddied irises danced over it all. Chestnut colored mane slithering around her neck with the whimsical sway of the breeze. Baiting the frayed edges in one direction before receding, only to rise in another. A knowing smile crossed her lips as her fist tightened around the black wire hilt of her cursed blade; her free hand resting over the creases its twin formed within the rippling green cloth of her simple dress. The heel of her boots scraped across the ground, displacing dark grains as she slid into position- knees slightly bent, arm cocked and tucked into her chest. Metal blade sliding across the length of her arm towards her elbow; blood sparkling ominously against the sun's kiss. "Come," Aello instructed, her voice little more than a whisper, as she lowered herself even further into her place. Simply waiting for her attacker to come for her.

[Kyra]

Bright golden eyes watched the huntress from the short distance between them, Long blondish locks swayed gently in twisted pigtails across her slender shoulders. A dagger was pulled from her belt and held firmly in one hand at her side. The young kelvic moved in a bit then jumped back to test Aello's reflexes.

"Are you ready Aello?"

Suddenly Kyra darted forward and to Aello's left swinging her dagger out into a quick jab. She stepped back quickly, lightly bouncing on her feet before dashing forward with a supposed round house kick, but only to pull back at the last second. Instead, she landed on one bended knee in front of the huntress. Kyra glanced up, a sneaky smile on her face as she jumped up to send her body into a backwards flip hoping to allow a foot to catch Aello's chin.

[Aello]

At first, Aello didn't rise to Kyra's bait; choosing instead to stand firm. But after a time, her left hand flexed, and within an instant, retrieved her cursed blade's twin from its sheath. She twirled it nonchalantly between her fingers as she sank into her knees, her muscles twitching angrily beneath a bed of pale skin as the Kelvic continued to run towards her. Within an instant, Kyra had closed the distance that once rested between them, and begun her first assault. Something that seemed typical within the girl's lines of offensives, thus, making it easy for the huntress to block her by raising her own cursed blade to meet with the Kelvic's single, sending a metallic ring into the air. As soon as they had clattered, Aello drew her arm back as the Kelvic prepared for another move. A kick, which the huntress didn't move to block. There seemed to be something in the girl's feline eyes; a rigidity as opposed to a fluid grace within her muscles that suggested something was wrong, leading the Treaver herself to remain strong. Silent, in a position she had held only moments before. In the end, her instincts had proven true, for the Kelvic stopped her attack short in favor of another. One which Aello couldn't remember having tried before, which in a way, took her by surprise. Even so, she managed to snap her head back in time, and puff her chest out, narrowly missing Kyra's foot. Although she could feel its warm air as she righted herself, and dashed after her retreating opponent. Driving both arms out to the side, before sweeping them back in, in a wide arc. The right arm cutting over the left, towards the woman's slender neck.

[Kyra]

Kyra darted back as fast as she could, but the huntress was right on her, preparing her own attack. Kyra was quick, but the huntress was even quicker with a deadly attack from the very start. The kelvic wanted to block, but Aello was too fast and the only thing she could do was to sweep her own feet up, allowing her body to quickly fall away and out of the range of the daggers that the huntress wielded.

The girl landed with a soft thud onto her back, with her legs up into the air in front of her. She might have looked a bit silly laying on her back with her legs in the air for the tick or too, before she moved again. Kyra quickly twisted her hips as she swung her legs out and around towards Aello's feet as she hoped to trip the woman up.

Kyra rolled away from her and rose to one knee, her hand gripping the dagger that she carried. Digging her boots into the ground, the young kelvic pushed off and raced towards the huntress again swinging her dagger across the woman's chest and allowing her body to turn into a spin as she brought her leg up towards the woman's shoulder.

[Aello]

Just before the points of her daggers bit into her skin, Aello snapped her arms back around in the opposite direction. Her shoulders pulled back as her chest came out, before she forced her body to slacken with the return of her weapons to her side. As she moved, Aello watched the Kelvic retreat before attempting another attack. Causing the huntress to rapidly bend her legs at the knees before pushing up off the ground with all of her strength. As she glided through the air, she tucked her legs closer more tightly towards her chest as Kyra's swung past. Leading Aello to force her legs to snap back into place; sending a jarring sensation up the length of her heels as she landed back on the ground. A thin cloud of dust darted between the soles of her brown suede boots as a soft thud sounded, and Kyra attempted a new tactic. Causing Aello to raise her cursed blade to meet with metal once more. Clack. Before bunching the muscles throughout the length of her arms to brace for the impact of Kyra's kick. It only took a moment before it arrived, smashing into her left shoulder. Causing her flesh to redden instantly as the area began to burn. The pain slowly spreading as she darted towards the Kelvic, leading with her shoulder in an attempt to drive her back. To offset her own body having slid a few inches across the ground. After she had succeeded, Aello would skip around the left side of the Kelvic's body, bringing her cursed blade out so as to strike the girl's back with the flat. When all was said and done, the girl would back up, before turning to peer at her opponent. Then down, her eyes darting over the terrain, at the roots and stones that covered the ground around her. Within an instant, she'd be running again. Her feet pushing up against the terrain as she neared her opponent, violently shaking her head to make the bell that rested between her breasts ring. So as to stop time. And for three seconds it would after it had run whilst she was in mid stride. Her feet pushing off heavily against a large stone she had tread upon. Her arms rising as her head tucked into her chest and legs came off the ground. Swinging back as she glided through the air, body twirling once as it took its aim. Legs extending towards her opponent's neck. Intending to slide over the length of her shoulders, and then cross at the bottom. Knees tightening around her golden lockes so as to keep the huntress in place as she took advantage of her new position. Finished the Kelvic off. Early... OOCDo I really expect this to work? No, but it was really fun trying... P.S. If she fails, assume she landed awkwardly on her side. Please...

[Kyra]

Kyra wasn't the fastest of learners, but the girl did her best and was sure to keep in mind the things that she had saw and heard. She tried to adapt herself, her movements in hunting as well as in fighting to better herself for the next time. It wasn't an easy thing to do but there wasn't much in the way of choices. She either got better or became a stiff.

Still, the huntress was far more skilled than she was, and Kyra had a very long way to go. This was proven again, after she successfully landed a kick to the woman's shoulder, and within another tick, Aello had spun off her and smacked her in her back with her dagger. Kyra stumbled forward a bit, her hand tightly gripping her dagger as she half turned her body and attempted a weak, sloppy back kick to push the huntress away.

By the time she turned around, Aello was already paces back and ready to strike again. Kyra watched her closely, observing the area around them. It was open mostly, with trees in the short distance. If she were to push back far enough, the kelvic could possibly use them to her advantage. It was a smart idea she thought, knowing that the huntress was faster while wielding two blades to her single. But before she could Aello darted forward again and Kyra raced towards her. She thought to flip and dart past her opponent and catch her off guard, but something else happened.

Within a moment, a tick or so, Aello was gone and somehow appeared sitting on her shoulders. Kyra's eyes widen and her lips parted with a soft yelp. "What sort of magic is this?" she wondered to herself as she reached up to hug Aello's legs. The kelvic tittered right then, left before she finally lost the fight. Her legs swung up from under her, while her arms still clung to Aello's legs and sent them both backwards onto the ground. It appeared almost as a ladder falling, Kyra falling backwards with her head plopping awkwardly into the huntress' stomach while the woman herself probably landed flat on her back.

Kyra pushed herself off and stumbled away from the woman, she was too dizzy to attack right away and could only stand and prepare for another move. Once she was ready again and Aello was back to her feet, Kyra moved. Though this time, the girl's head was still shaken and it was proven further by her next actions. The young kelvic raced towards Aello and jumped into the air, twirling her body as she stretched her legs out to bring both of her boots towards the woman's chest.

[Aello]

The huntress slid onto the Kelvic's shoulders, and soon crossed her boots. Tightened the muscles in her thighs so as to grip her head as she brought the flats of her blades down towards the girl's back. Seemingly, causing their shared form to waver all the more even as Kyra's fingers dug into flesh. Grappling as Aello did her best to tighten her grip, before they both fell away, slamming into the ground hard. "Damn it Kyra!" the huntress growled as her fingers unfurled momentarily before clamping down even more tightly on the wire hilts of her blades than before. As she listened to the sound of hurried steps, signifying Kyra's retreat, Aello pulled her blades into her chest. They crossed over her as she lazily rolled back several paces before bringing herself back onto her feet. The huntress scarcely had enough time to pull her blades away from her chest and glare at her opponent before Kyra started charging again. And then jumping, extending her legs for a kick. Oh bloody heck, Aello thought to herself as she shakily stepped the the side, her legs, she had just noticed, still searing from the fall. The Treaver thought she could hear the Kelvic thudding back down to earth, and soon turned to meet her. Lazily pulling her right leg back before snapping it forward, so as to kick the woman while she was already down, as it were. "Don't you think one flashy move was enough for one day?" Aello inquired, as she put her foot back down on the ground, and then shuffled a few steps away so as to survey her current situation. OOCThis just keeps on getting worse and worse, doesn't it?

[Kyra]

Head shaken, and adrenaline pumping, Kyra tried a daring move. It wasn't something that was easy to pull off and it had it's risk. However, if one could pull it off, it was a good way to knock someone off their feet. But she missed, the nimble huntress side stepped her at the last tick. The young kelvic slammed into the ground with a thump, causing her to groan softly where she landed on her side.

Her head was spinning even more now, but she knew that she had to get up, Aello was there and ready to put an end to their battle. Kyra slowly pushed herself up, and tried to turn around quickly when she felt the woman's presences right next to her. It was too late, during a half turn, the kelvic met with the swift boot of the huntress' against her shoulder.

Kyra was spun around by the force of it and landed flat on her back. She didn't get up right away, and instead laid still for a moment staring at the sky above. She heard the words of the woman, but didn't answer as she waited for the trees above her to stop dancing around. Finally she slowly rolled over and pushed herself up, while collecting her dagger.

"Well..I figured if there was one then why not another.." she added and readied herself for what was to come.

[Aello]

Aello shrugged as her eyes grazed over the injured woman's form. The way it seemed to tremble as crow's feet extended from the edges of almond shaped slopes. Lines etched in pain. Again, the huntress took a step back, her fingers trailing lazily over the wire hilts of her blades as her gaze softened. "Would you like to try another crazy stunt then?" Aello inquired, as she watched the Kelvic rise to her feet, and take up a stance. "Or are we done for the day?" she went on, as she bent her legs at the knees and fell into a half-hearted crouch. Arms held stiffly at her sides. Eyes searching for a twitch. A hint of movement. A single sign. A clue as to how everything would continue going from there. What her opponent would attempt, or if she would simply give up, allowing Aello to finish her off swiftly.

[Kyra]

The dizzy spell was slowly going away, Aello's imagine became clear again, and the slender body of the huntress discontinued it's shifting and twitching. The dull ache in the kelvic's back went away and her legs regained their formal strength. But she didn't attack this time, no, she waited, allowed herself to think of possible actions before she would move.

Or if Aello would...

"Are you toying with me?" Kyra asked after the huntress' statement about trying another crazy stunt. "What if I did?" she added with a weak smile rising upon her lips. "Then what? Are you going to ask Lily to finish the battle for you?" Kyra was having fun, and now her mischievous side was becoming frisky.

"Fine..if you won't attack then I will.."

Then she was off, racing towards the huntress full speed, She stopped just short of arms length, and turned her hips as she lifted her leg to send a side kick towards the woman's hip, then quickly lifting her leg higher to kick at her shoulder. A moment later and her boot slammed into the ground, and Kyra swung her arm out wide as she slashed at Aello with her dagger, a move that sent her body into a full spin, even as she returned for a second swipe at her with the dagger.
