Welcome to Gaia! ::

Salazar nodded his head and thought it over. "No assistance. Mono y mono as they say. Oh, and try and keep up." He patted Edward hard on the face and started his ten paces backwards. He had noticed when Blithe came, but was selectively choosing to ignore her. Right now he had to concentrate.

Salazar turned and smiled. "Not as embarrassing as it would be to lose to a 25 year old." If there was one thing he took pride in, it was his skill for someone of his age. "Defensive? Interesting for a man who just had to save his call girl from a fire." That being said, he started a charge towards Edward, aiming with his right claw.

"If I am a boy then you must be a toddler." He shot back, dodging the attack with a backwards jump and then faked a charge. When he was close enough, he leaped into the air and swung up on a tree branch. "At least in terms of battle." Quickly, he sprung down, aiming both of his claws at Edward's chest.

<******** trees. Salazar thought to himself, knocking the daze out of his head. "Never payed much attention in Physics, but I did read a lot of Alexandre Dumas." Again he charged, but when he got into distance, he ducked into a roll and barreled into Edward's legs, knocking him off my feet. Quickly he stood and moved to strike him in the back.

He darted out of the way and got nicked in the foot. "And you my Fernand de Morcef. It seems to fit, no?" moving forward, he ignored the pain his his foot and lunged down at Edward with both claws.

Salazar thought it over and moved back a few steps. "Hmm, well I suppose maybe I should give up." He started to loosen the straps on his claws now. "After all you are the superior swordsman." Both feel the the ground with a small rustle. "Of course, I did bring up Dumas for a reason." Giving a small couch, he began his speech. "Make no mistake: I should fight a duel for a trifle, an insult, a contradiction, a slap—and all the more merrily for knowing that, thanks to the skill I have acquired in all physical exercises and long experience of danger, I should be more or less certain of killing my opponent. Oh, yes, indeed, I should fight a duel for any of these things; but in return for a slow, deep, infinite, eternal pain, I should return as nearly as possible a pain equivalent to the one inflicted on me. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, as they say in the East, those men who are the elect of creation, and who have learnt to make a life of dreams and paradise a reality." Salazar smiled and kicked away his claws. "The answer here is simple, I'm just not trying hard enough." And with a maniacal laugh, which slowly turned to a howl, he started to transform into a dire wolf.

Salazar scoffed, he wasn't taking it seriously. He would change that. Dashing at full speed, he flung into the air, and moved down on Edward, new natural claws at the ready to rip him apart when he landed.

Quick a a bolt, Salazar had grabbed Edward from where he stood and lifted him above his head. "Heh, Vampires are a weak race anyway." With full force, he flung Edward into the nearest tree.
