Closed [Fighter Pits] Training Between Squires(Kreig Messer)

[Sei Tendo]

37th of Winter, 513AV
9th of Bell

Sei ran through the streets of Syliras, and listened to the clank and clack of the Crescent Twin daggers at his side. He had already put his arm through the small steel shield halfway to the Pit. He tried his best to block out the yelling and chatting beating against his eardrums, and pushed deeper into the crowds. As he made his way toward the arena, he knocked someone down. After helping the woman collect what she'd dropped, he'd apologized and went ahead on his way. He finally broke through the crowds at the Pits, and walked up to the arena. He wore his studded leather armor, and was ready to face his fellow squire.

He walked through the arena, and looked around for the man he'd met at the Rearing Stallion. The guy was a few inches shorter then Sei with short, dirty blonde hair and honey colored eyes. Kreig - the squire - had pale skin similar to his own, and dad a lanky build.

Sei was good a details, but it didn't make it any easier since the Pits were packed today. Finding him might take awhile. He walked past a nearby match, and decided to wait for his new toy to arrive.

"Kreig?" He called.

[Kreig Messer]

Kreig turned as he heard his name being called out, before him a man who was a few inches taller than himself. He mentally sighed as he looked at the man, annoyed by the fact he seemed to be meeting people who were taller than him on a very regular basis. The person he was meeting, this Sei Tendo, it was a predirtimined one. A squire in the training grounds had relayed the knowledge of this meeting to him, for some reason this man before him was interested in training with him.


The man looked fit, wearing his own choice of rmor and a small shield strapped to his arm. Kreig was holding one of the blunt swords and battered shields provided by the pit. His grip on the longsword was practiced, some of the long training at least showing some of its results. His grip on the shield was a tad more sloppy, sadly his training far more focused on other things than what was required of him.

"Sei, I believe? Nice to meet you friend" Kreig smiled at the man, stabbing the tip of the blunt blade into the snow then reached his hand put to shake hands with the man.

Sei grinned, and turn to find Krieg with his hand extended to him for a handshake. He grabbed Krieg's hand firmly but gently and smiled back at him. The Kelvic nodded and shook Krieg's hand before releasing it. He looked around the area and wrinkled his nose. This place smells sweaty as always. He grimaced and looked to Krieg.

"Sorry, it's just a little strong here. I'm a Kelvic by the way." He said enthusiastically. Sei gave Krieg a thumbs up and pointed to his cat-like eyes. He then took out one of his daggers and waggled his finger at his new opponent. "Alright. Enough talk though, let's play!" He said taking an offensive stance after backing a few steps away from Krieg.

[Kreig Messer]

' A kelvic? Why I'm I no longer surprised' Kreig thought with a grin, the man's cat like eyes fit him quite well. Kreig simply nodded at the man's straightforwardness, getting to the point rather than waste time. He moved his shield infront of him, his sword only slightly raised as he held the grip firmly. He held a small steel shield and wielded a dagger, Kreig could imagine what his style could be.... the lad was a wide target, and perhaps used speed to his advantage. It was likely he would perry quite often if he was unable to evade and such.

Kreig simply need to try and overwhelm Sei, to see if he can keep up. With that in mind, he began things with a forward shield bash and then intended to strike him in the abdomen in a forward thrust with the pommel of his sword, he would then follow that up with a right low kick and finally turn and end with a spinning left direct at Sei's chest. If anything the overwhelming onslaught of straightforward attacks would perhapds force the lad to increase his distance away from the brawler. If the lad had any skill he'd best use them to their full capability if he hoped to get close to strike at Kreig. But Kreig's eyes would watch the lad.... he could see as well those cat eyes.

Sei watched Krieg analyze him, waiting for his strike to come. His opponent moved in with a straight forward shield bash, causing Sei to jump back just enough to avoid being hit, and was soon attacked again as Krieg's sword pommel came directly for his abdomen. Damn he's fast! He slid his shield to his abdomen and tilted it skyward just as the strike landed to bounce it off. He then saw yet another attack from his opponent coming his way. Krieg sent his right leg in for a low hit, which made Sei wince at the contact, but he was prepared for the left leg and decided to move in his shield to knock it away. He tried his best to close the distance he had made between he and his target, and brought the pommel of his dagger forward and aimed for Krieg's shoulder joint. He didn't waste any time however, and went straight for his follow-up attack.

He twisted his torso as much as he possibly could, and turned halfway around to deliver a sharp kick to his opponents gut. It wasn't as easy as you might think however. He had little experience with kicks, and as usual this one left his lower right leg open to attack. He reeled in as fast as he could, and sheathed his dagger to throw an unstable punch at Krieg. At this time, he was mentally kicking himself because he could tell his opponent was faster as his speed was usually his biggest advantage. He hopped back and waited for Krieg's next attack.

"Not bad, you're definitely faster than I am."

[Kreig Messer]

The lad was alright, Kreig had to admit that, but he could see the movements. It seemed the lad was not kidding about his inexperience as Kreig twisted his body to the daggers direction, letting the stab strike the air harmlessly. When Sei twisted himself and performed sharp gut kick, Kreig simply grinned as he stood his ground and let the blow strike him, he grunted... but only slightly, the blow wasn't strong enough, despite its speed it was clumsy and reeked of inexperience. Sei's next attack only emphasized such a thing as the clumsy punch missed him and Kreig need only tilt his head to make certain of it.

"You're a tad quick yourself, Lad. Though I do think you need to be better" Kreig said to Sei as he jumped a safe distance. Kreig grinned, a shyke eating grin "In fact, to make things easier for you....how 'bout I not move at all. Just stay here and let you do all the moving, that should even things out yeah?" Kreig taunted, he wanted a more fun fight. In a way, he'd still go all out on the lad....but in another way, he would not let this fight end quickly. He wanted fun, he glared at the lad... not with malice, but with hunger. He would show this cat how a monster fights. He raised his shield before him, his sword half raised. He motion the lad to come at him with his head and said "Come on, you can fight, can you?'

[Sei Tendo]

Sei was furious. Not only was he was he being taunted, but insulted as well. So yeah, admittedly he wasn't the best, but that was no reason for insults. I'll just have to step up my game. He nearly growled at the last part. He shifted the weight of his shield, and went forward. He used long, quick strides to cover the distance as quickly as possible, then he rammed his shield forward. He still wasn't used to the weight of his shield yet, but if he continued to use it that problem would soon be fixed. Until then however he would feel like all the gravity was focusing on his arm. He withdrew the shield clumsily, and then made a single thrust with his dagger toward Kreig's stomach. Sei laughed and reeled back, once again taking an offensive stance.

"Toying with me, eh? Not gonna like the outcome of that." He said confidently, his eyes blazing. "I may be as novice, but I'm not gonna just sit here while you have all the fun." He had once again let a smirk play his lips before continuing the attacks he'd started before. He shook his shield arm, and thrust his dagger, hoping he could at least put Kreig on the defensive. He with drew the dageer and swung the pommel at Kreig's shield arm. He then reeled back in for a shield bash of his own.

[Kreig Messer]

He had angered the Kelvic, quite easily so as the lad let Kreig know in his own way. Kreig would keep to his words though, if the lad was going to be a more active force then all the merrier after all, it was what he wanted. Kreig blocked the shield with his own and pushed the dagger away as he held the sword with a backhanded grip, the base of the blade redirecting the dagger.

"Then I'll simply sit here and have more of it" Kreig said as the Kelvic Squire moved in for another attack. Kreig raised his shield and rotated his body so that he narrowly avoided the thrust. He blocked the omel strike with his shield and when the lad performed his shield bash...Kreig let go of his blade as his hand darted for the rim of the lad's sheild, 'aiding' his motion as he grabbed it and pulled. He rotated his form to the side to let the lad pass and have him trip over Kreig's extended right foot. Once he fell to the ground, Kreig would step on the lad's back, any target other than the spine oranywhere else where he could accidentally eliminate the lads movement, and lower himself completely to grab his blade once more.


Oh he'd just love to see the lad get out of this one.

oocTell me if you'd like me to change it

[Sei Tendo]

Sei was drawn forward using the momentum of his bash against him, and tripped over Kreig's foot. As soon as he was about to roll over, his opponent placed a foot on his back to restrict his movements. He groaned and tried to push himself up, but Kreig's foot prevented that as well. He growled and tried to kick his opponet's leg, hopefully hitting the back of the knee. He then rolled over to stand. He groaned again, wiping snow from his face. He looked at Kreig, even angrier than before. He narrowed his eyes, then charged Kreig with all his might. He's swatting me like a fly, and I haven't even hit him yet!

Sei used the last minute to step to the side, swinging the dagger pommel at Kreig with no real aim. He just wanted to hit the guy. He would swing a few times before jumping back.
