The grey haired mercenary reached up and broke the feather end of the arrow, so there was only a two inches of shaft sticking out of his body. Still holding the curved sword in his right hand, Solin leaped forward swing his sword in a downward arch. The veteran mercenary saw his predictable attack and side stepped the kelvic's attack. Now off balanced by the wayward attack, Solin stumbled forward passed the mercenary. Seeing the opportunity to strike, the old man stepped forward and threw a punch into the region of the kidney. The leather armor absorbed most of the blow, but the kelvic still felt a sharp pain echo throughout his body. Feebly, Solin tried to counter his attack with backward slash across the belly of the mercenary, but veteran seemed to know his every move as he reached out and seized the arm of kelvic with both of his hands. Still his the human's grasp, Solin could only glared at the grey haired man as he tried to disarm him of weapon. The kelvic could feel himself loosing his grip on the hilt of his sword. As tulwar fell to the ground, he reached back with his left hand, unsheathed his double bladed dagger, and stabbed at the man stomach, but the mercenary saw the attack coming and jumped back out of range of the stab from the dagger. However, Solin was free of the human's grasp, so he moved out of range of the human to catch his breath. Only armed with a dagger, Solin stood in a defensive stance and holding the blade awkwardly in front of his face out of range of the mercenary waiting for his next attack.
Solin fumed inwardly as the amused mercenary eyed the white haired kelvic like he was prey. It was insulting, but the kelvic knew was at disadvantage with his weapons since he was committed with his using his blades for now. As the kelvic circled the mercenary waiting for him to attack, he switched the moved the dagger to his right hand. Suddenly, the mercenary jumped forward driving a hay maker into the left cheek of the kelvic. The kelvic countered with the mercenary’s punch with a upward block with his left arm, and when the Kelvic saw a opening, he drove the dagger straight into the belly of the human. Letting the dagger stay in the human mid section, Solin jumped back into his fighting stance with his right leg back and left arm in front of his face. Solin watched the grey haired man stumble back from the shock of being stabbed, and the kelvic knew he had to keep up his attack while he had the advantage, so the blond man stepped forward and sent a quick jab to the face of his opponent with his left hand of the mercenary blocked the quick jab and he countered with a right fist into the face of the kelvic. Solin wasn't quick enough to block it, so the punch hit him square in the jaw, and the force of the punch drove him back. He heard the grey haired warrior laugh out loud and said with a yellow smirk, “I think you choose the wrong profession pretty boy. Maybe you should have became a farmer or a cook.”
The kelvic stretched out his jaw felt nothing was broken, but he tasted the familiar taste of iron in his mouth, so he spat the blood on the ground and resumed his stance. Suddenly the mercenary moved forward driving the heel of his boot into the chest of the kelvic, With his left arm, he sided stepped to his right and deflected the blow away with a block to his left. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Solin stepped forward with his right foot and driving his fist into the face of the older man. The kelvic smiled to himself when he heard a crunch as his fist drove into his opponent's nose. Solin quickly changed his stance, so his right foot was forward, his left foot back, and his right hand protecting his face. The kelvic's blue eyes watched the large man stumbled back leaving him completely open for another attack, so the wolf pressed his attack and drove a open palm with his left hand into the round part of the hilt of the dagger and driving the blade deeper into the belly of the man. Hearing the man scream in pain, tilted his left foot back, leaned backward, and bringing his right leg to his stomach. Solin thrust his foot towards the broken shaft of the arrow, but the kelvic must have not stretched completely before the battle, so his heel didn't have the height needed to hit it intended target because his foot only reached the sternum of the human and not the broken shaft of the arrow.
The force of the blow knocked the mercenary back, and the grey mercenary was about to counter attack, but Solin saw a long smoke like arm holding a ax come out of nowhere and sever the mercenary right leg just below the knee. Solin watched as he crumbled to the ground holding his blood stump of a leg. Ignoring the screams of the man, Solin blinked in surprise when he saw Kouri appeared next to him holding the ax in hand and offering it to him. Solin took the ax with a warm smile on his face and said to the ghostly manic, “ I owe you my life Fubuki. Thank you, Little One.” Solin knew the spirit was much more powerful than him, but in his eyes the girl still acted like a child, so he gave her nickname accordingly. Watching the man writhing on the ground, he walked over to the man and drove his heel into the broken shaft of the arrow. The human must have went into shock when the arrow head was pushed deeper into his lung. As he drove the hatchet into the temple of the mercenary's head, Solin smiled down at him and said with a viscous smile on his face, “I will never be anyone prey, human.” The human twitched for a few moments, but the old man eventually was taken by Dira. Solin jerked the ax free from the man's head and turned to Fubuki and said with a laugh, “This is Razkar's isn't it? I am hiding behind you if he gets pissed for stealing his ax!” He hoped the myrian wouldn't be in a foul mood for loosing his weapon to their ghostly pickpocket. Solin shook his head as he pulled off pieces of skull and brain matter from the head of the wicked looking ax as he bent down to retrieve his sword. When he was finished retrieving his equipment, the kelvic smiled at his ghostly friend and said softly, “Come on my friend. We should regroup with the others.”
