Flashback [Tuvya Sasarin] Earning His Place

[Favchean Hronis]

ooc infoOfficial Kuvan thread, flashedback to Fall, and as such pre-dagger competency. So only testing in Unarmed


Fall 90th 513

This day had been a long time coming, it was not because of any lack of skill but more then a self-perceived lack of preparedness. Yet he had applied for his Kuvan test, and was going to be testing today to earn his place amongst his Akalak brethren in Riverfall as a citizen, a Kuvan. The Tuvya Sasarin seemed almost muted, not in sorrow or gravity but out of respect for the test.

Chealvan, for it was the dark brother who walked in their skin this day, stepped up to the mat where the sparring would take place. A larger, taller, Akalak was there already awaiting, his head tilted to the side as he watched the green Akalak roll his shoulders. "Good day to you ..Chealvan and Favchean, you have come to be tested."

Chealvan grinned, lacing his fingers easily and without tension together in front of him. "I have Master. I seek testing the unarmed combat, to prove my ability and to take my place as Kuvan." The other Akalak nodded simply, and raised his hand to indicate the need for others to join. This day one was a deep purple Akalak, and the other a slightly lighter shade of blue. "Turrath and Koren will be your partners for this test. It will be full contact, there will be no tap out. If you lose consciousness you lose, otherwise it will be to ten points."

The non-participating Akalak stepped off the mat quickly as Chealvan finds himself in the middle, with each of the other Akalak's on either side of him. He did not seem perturbed or otherwise bothered by this, instead he moves easily into his defensive kata. His feet are spread shoulder width apart, his knees bent just a little for flexibility and his hands raised defensively, before he indicates he is ready for the fight to begin.

Chealvan did not rush at the two, no with more then one opponent he knew he would have to play defensive and not leave an opening for either. So he waited, the purple one met the blue one's eyes and nodded before he darted in, one punch aimed high that was the decoy. Chealvan swung his body back, one arm raising to grasp the purple wrist, and used the purple's own momentum to push him outward roughly.

However that had been the decoy, and the blue rushed forward, delivering and landing a blow to Chealvan's lower right back. Then his arm rose and snaked around the green Akalak's throat. Chealvan raised his elbow and slammed it into the ribs of the blue, causing Koren to release his hold just enough so that Chealvan could pivot and slam his knuckles into his face. The purple, meanwhile had gotten up and maneuvered back in to raise his leg, driving his shin into Chealvan's abdomen. Chealvan doubled over but managed to keep his wits about him and gripped the calf of the purple, his arm coming down to crunch into the knee of the purple. Luckily for the Purple he saw this coming and threw his body to the side, jerking his leg from Chealvan's grip before major damage had come to his knee.

Chealvan roared with enthusiasm, he was much more vocal of a fighter then Favchean was. He now rushed the blue that was just getting his bearings back, one arm crashing around the blue's shoulders pulling him down, to meet the knee. His knee cap slammed into the blue's chest, and Chealvan continued to press the attack, still trying to keep from allowing the purple from circling around him.

Ducking a punch thrown by the purple, Chealvan growled and let his upward rise fuel his left uppercut to the blue male's chin, and then using the backward motion to ram his elbow into the side of the purple. Being Akalak, both men grunted with the added pain but did not fall. Instead the Purple Akalak grabbed one arm and spun Chealvan around so that his fist came out of no where to connect with Chealvan's nose.

Lights danced behind the Akalak's eyes as blood spurted from the abused cartilage. For a moment he was stunned and both blue and purple took advantage of his unresponsiveness. Fist pummel into his sides, promising bruises and perhaps even a popped rib, but the discomfort helped to bring Chealvan back into the fray. A growl and he twisted against the Blue to avoid his punch and placed his own fist into the blue's stomach. In the same smooth movement his arm raised to slam into the face of the purple who promptly fell as his own nose burst into blood.

Before anything else could happen the master called the fight. "Enough!" His voice rang out and immediately the Akalak on the mats backed off, Chealvan offering a hand to the purple to allow him to rise. One arm folded itself around his ribs, the other raised a hand to wipe at the flowing blood from his nostrils. "Chealvan Favchean Hronis. You have passed your Kuvan test. Immediately upon your departure go and attain your mark Kuvan Hronis." The two sparring opponents grinned and clapped him on the back, and Chealvan was too relieved and happy to even grimace as his abused body was jolted.

Notes: AS we talked about, Akalak are not Kuvan, but I will give you credit for your combat writing. Akalak are all automatically citizens of RF and have a different ranking system that has to do with their rites. Kuvan status’ are for non-Akalaks that want to be recognized as full contributing members of Riverfall. I understand there was confusion on what a DS told you, so we’ve got that all cleared up. I would just prefer you not have a Kuvan tattoo because it would look odd on an Akalak unless you want to come up with a reason you wanted the status as an Akalak. So you might want to alter the tattooing part of the thread.

As always PM me if you have issues.
