Hunter stopped and tensed as every muscle in his body urged him to just draw his and attack Vestakia right there, but the last thing he wanted to do was give her some ammo to use later. Instead, he just stopped and slowly drew his sword before pointing the freshly sharpened blade tip at her, transferring all the tenseness to his legs, ready to use them as a spring board.
"You know normally I'd agree with you on that," Hunter said, his tone taking on a more friendly mocking to her playful taunt, "but I'd prefer to have age before looks, so after you. Show me what you've got."
He grinned at his own joke, showing his now sharper teeth, and even though he tried, couldn't hold back shooting a small fireball at the paper that the meat was wrapped in just strong enough to burn the wrapping away and cook the meat so it was not raw but not completely burned through.
"heh, guess I couldn't control myself," He said, the smile fading to a sly grin, "oops, I hope that wasn't the last raw piece of the day."
((I know, an odd spot for that last comment, but it came to me when I finished typing the other stuff and it just seemed to fit there as an intimidation tactic and not having some DBZ-esque 3 page banter between the two fighters.))

Vestakia shifted into her natural form and ice formed around the peice of meat, a hissing sound comming from the wrapper as the smoldering bits of paper were cooled down. she didn't further his comment, any of them and immediatly after she attacked a sheid of ice forming around the blade to make it safter to swing with, when she had gotten close enough to hunter and her right foot hit the ground she immediatly spun around swining the now blunt sword blade towards his neck, it was apperent in battle she would waste no time killing someone if she ever saw a real war.

She was good and fast in attacking, Hunter gave her that as he threw up his left arm to block the blow, he winced slightly from the the surge of pain that shot through his arm but kept his balance.
Even though she hadn't said anything to his retort, he knew that the seared meat tactic had done it's job and even though the move had given him less time to prepare a decent magic-imbued counter he saw an opening and with his free hand sent a full-force punch directly at her undefended mid-section.

Just before the hunters fist hit her abdoman Vestakia side stepped the attack though she could feel her fur at her side rustle as his fist passed her when her own attack connected her red eye seemed to glow a little more and the ice off the blade began to stick to Hunters arm, but before it had a chance to grow Vestakia seemed to hesitate with herself and the ice retracted before she jumped away. 'this is just a duel, we are not trying to kill him.' she hissed inside her head like she was talking to someone else. even when she jumped back the moment her toes touched the ground she ran towards him again and jumped to his left and pointed her sword at his side in the attempt to run him though, or at least a mock attempt at it since her blade was now dull.

Hunter let out a low growl, mostly out of frustration as his punch missed its intended target and the ice began to melt and the water began to drip down his arm.
Instead of falling to the ground like it should, however, the water froze when it hit his hand and continued to do so until the icicle was about a foot long and thick enough to not break upon impact. This time he saw the attack coming and lept to the right, planting his right foot on the ground, and spun around to face her, a fire burning behind his now ice blue eyes.
"I was holding back because I didn't want to hurt you too bad," He shouted at her through clenched teeth, "but since you are obviously fighting just shy of killing me then I will do the same!"
As he finished those words, he slashed the air with his sword and a smaller, but still powerful version of the wave of fire that had taken out the gaurds back at the arena flew towards Vestakia

Vestakia did not move when the fire came at her, instead she dropped her sword and put her hands infront of her, and caught the wave moving her arms gently around her the fire begame smaller as it twirled around her hands and arms turing blue before focusing in her palms, she seemed to have a little difficulty, while she could control fire, ice was more of her power and the fire seemed to singe her hands a little but she didn't let the pain take over her concentration. a few seconds later she let the fire fly from her hands towards hunter the fire re-taking its wave shape. "If you hold back, you'll only insult us." she shouted back quickly retreiving her sword.

"I don't think so, " Hunter growled, kicking the sword out of Vestakia's reach, "nice trick turning my own attack back on me, but I predictable hence the reason it was just a distraction for this!
Hoping to catch her off balance this time, Hunter used a move he had been practicing in the arena and tweaking in the past couple weeks and swung all six of his tails at Vestakia's legs and after feeling the same dull thud that came from the practice dummies and trees when he hit them, only this didn't hurt as much, he brought his other hand tha was now covered in a thick gauntlet of ice down a little bit below the vital spot on her neck. After all he was the one who had said that death wasn't going to be happening in this match and the last thing he wanted to do was go against his own request by accident.

Vestakia was caught off guard by the attack and she fell back, the next thing she felt was a sharp pain hit her neck as his ice covered fist hit her. even through the pain she quickly rolled away from him and stood holding the side of her neck in her hand and she was panting heavily as she tried to get air though. She wasn't going to yell at him for the attack, or call it a cheap move, in fact she was rather impressed after all in a real battle nothing is fair she hadn't exacly been playing fair and she had told him not to hold back. She made sure to keep moving, standing in one place wouldn't help her concentration and it would make her and easy target, her sword was out of reach, and re-directing the fire had taken up most of her power, she hadn't exactly rested after she had given the champions a path to follow earlier. Her only option at this point was a more 'natural' approch. She attacked hunter again, the absent weight of her sword no longer weighing her down as she lunged at Hunter, her sharp claws extended towards his chest as she made two slashing movements when she was close enough, after all the rule was whoever drew blood first won.
((you know the rest of you can post to, there are other characters to post with XD and jsut PM me when your characters are ready to move on or post it up in the OOC forum, dont just go quiet.))

((I was waiting for Lucy to respond or something that and I'm kinda brain dead, don't know what to have her do next lol. But I'm ready to move on whenever lol))
Sierra finished her meal and stood stretching her legs a bit and looked around for some sort of stream or water source to wash the meats juices from her fingers.

Hunter smiled briefly not only as he noticed Vestakia's momentary confusion and frustration by his two sided attack tactic, but for the fact that it was able to work so well on another creature given that this was the first time he had tried it something that was actually fighting back with a free will.
His smile faded though as she got back on her feet faster than he thought and lunged forward with her claws extended and aiming to do what he thought could be more than just a simple cut on his chest. Out of more instinct than thinking it through, He crouched into a defensive position and crossed his arms in front of him to block the incoming slashes, remembering the first blood rule he had suggested and hoping that he had put his gauntleted arm up in front of his unguarded one but when he felt a warm sensation coming from his left arm as well as a slight twinge of pain he didn't have to look down to know who had been the victor this time and the smile returned to his face as he pulled away from the attacking vixen and held up his hand both to show her the blood and to try to get the point across that she won.
"I give, you cut me first," Hunter said, his voice sounding more like a happily defeated teacher and it was then that he noticed that the sun had just finished setting and it was now twilight, "good timing too, looks like it'll be dark soon and if we stay out too late others may wonder what happened to us or get the wrong idea of what we went off alone to do."

Firion had finished eating his meal and was now wandering the area, curious to where everyone else had gone. He decided to walk around the camp, find anything that could keep him busy.
Outside a large castle, far from the group of so called "heroes" a lone shadow was quickly and easily scaling the castle's outer walls with daggers as black as night, avoiding the guards' detection. Within minutes the shadow passed the wall and quickly drove them into the solid bricks that made the castle and began to climb, pulling each dagger out of its previous area and out as far as the creature could reach. This process took much longer than it had with the outer wall, probably due to height or the harder stone on that was used for the castle itself. However, in time, the figure reached a window and pulled itself inside. With a decent light source now it was easy to make out that the figure was in a set of large armor, its color matched that of its smaller weapons. The figure placed both in their sheath.
Nearly an hour had passed of exploring the large castle's walls and it seemed all too easy, the hallways were quiet and empty. For a powerful ruler this castle wasnt very well guarded, or did this powerful being somehow now he was coming and prepared a trap for him?
(couldnt think of anything for Firion and I have decided to introduce my new character.)

Vestakia stopped her attack the moment he pulled away and grinned, pleased with herself. she looked towards the setting sun and her ears flicked towards Hunter as he spoke. "The caravan wouldn't be to worried, i usually wander off..." her sentence trailed off as she registered the last part of his statement and her eyes flicked to him just as she shifted back to her human form. "believe me, no one in that camp would get the 'wrong idea'." she insisted with a bit of a smrik. "but your right we should head back and get some rest, knowing Grandmother we will be on the move before breakfast."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jasper rolled over in his sleep, even great kings of darkness such as himself still needed rest from time to time, he could stay awake for months, but when he did sleep it was for a long time, days really, sometimes weeks, and he was never to be disterbed for anything, the castle could be on fire and he wouldn't have cared if it ment disturbing his slumber. But alas, some creatures really are stupid. this was only the second day into his rest when his eyes cracked open from a loud banging at his bedchamber doors. when he did not answer, the damned creature ran in, and it really was a creature for it was one of the lesser imps that had decided it had so important of news it would wake it's master a little to early.
"And what could be so importanant that you had to run all the way up here to share." Jasper hissed not even bothering to sit up, choosing to glare at the creature though the slitds of his half opened eyes.
"I-I'm sorry majesty...i-t's just..an intruder has made his way into the castle!" th imp said as rapidly as he could.
"I know." Jasper said flatly closeing one of his eyes again to show that he really didn't give a damn at the moment.
"B-but-" The imp never finished his scentene before Jasper rolled over, facing away from the creature and bearly raised a finger before the small lesser demon was flung thorugh the air an impaled on the horn of a large dragons skull that hung from the far wall. Jasper would have somone clean up the mess later, after he slept, hell if the 'inturder' found his way into the bed chamber he would make him do it. with a yawn Jaser closed his other eye and continued his sleep hopeing to pick up where he left on on his latest dream before the imp had inturrupted it.

Fortunately there was a stream though small, on the other side of the tree she had been leaning against. Sierra made her way to the stream and rinsed her fingers clean of the left over juice from the meat then reached to her left hand and pulled off the claw like gauntlet to reveal a hand severely scarred from her palm all the way down her arm. She stared at her hand a moment in silence with a sad expression that she quickly hid hopefully before anyone could see and proceeded to wash her hands and then face in the water.

"I guess but you never know what you think others are thinking really may not be what you think they are actually thinking right now," Hunter said with a slight joking tone and a small grin on his face before he noticed Vestakia's own smirk, "And what are you so happy about? I LET you win that mat-"
He didn't have time to finish the the sentence because as he approached the edge of the clearing where they had been fighting he though he felt someone, or something, he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Hunter's survival instincts now kicking in caused him to let out a low growl as he reached for his sword again placing his hand on the hilt before closing his eyes to try to listen for the foreign sound again, the only part of his body that was moving being his ears twitching every so often.

Vestakia started to giggle when he asked her what she was happy about but when he cut off so did she and she became ridgid her pointed ears twitching just a little at the tips as she listened for what he had heard and she quietly sniffed the air, her hand twitched ever so slightly and her sword that she had nearly forgotten behind her slid towards her quietly along the grass, when it reached her feet it lifted upwards, held up by the roots from surrounding trees, and when her sword was in her hand she gripped it tightly ready to use it again.
When whatever hunter heard didn't make another sound she slipped her sword back into her sheath, but remaind alert. "Come, if there is somthing out here we should tell the others...i don't want to leave the caravan unprepared." she said quietly entering into the trees and moving swiftly but quietly incase whoever Hunter had felt or heard made it's preasence known again.
