Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Not sure if you'll read this, but sorry how things were going for you IHYWAP. We all understand how the situation can be. Go ahead and take your hiatus. You'll be missed in the time being, so try not to stay away too long. ;D))
((Onikuro, Don't sweat, I've missed a few days as well because of work and school, just get back when you can.))
((Lol, Hitokiri was Gnareen, the dwarven cook who shortly became incapacitated and never heard from again, as well as Peman, a 'new' fighter who apparently got lost on his way from the arena housing to the arena stadium(!?).)) ((Edit: Looks like Lady Zelda beat me to it. razz ))
((I'm trying to get her back posting again... I have her visiting Gaia at least... it's a start...))

Par'il had been watching the man in the center of the arena, who for some reason remained still, unmoving, breathing slowly. Par'il looked to Shin-lu and returned a weak grin, "Well, most of it. How did it end?" He looked her over closely. Judging by the fact she was still in one piece, and Roy was surprisingly no where to be seen, he continued to define his question, "Did you win?"

Before she could answer, there was sudden movement on the field. Siom had rushed forward. A dust trail traveled behind him as he ran. Even with remarkable speed, the hammer was still low to the ground. As he reached the doll, he brought the hammer up diagonally. It made only mild contact, yet one could distinctly hear the crack as the wood splintered. Despite the noise, the manikin remained in one piece. He continued through with the swing as the hammer went over his shoulder. He let go and it went into the air in a high ark. Siom then ran towards another manikin. Stoping just short of the second manikin in the three doll triangle, Siom caught the hammer as it fell. In the same motion, he spun around to skim the front of the doll. As the hammer continued its path, it smashed rounded-top into the ground and Siom spun like a top above it still griping the handle and pounded this manikin twice - one with each foot. Again wood chips would seem to be falling from the back of the object. He bent down from his weapon facing away from this target without letting go of the hammer and without fully bringing it up yet, he started into a back flip over it, carrying the weapon through with him. Bringing the weapon up above him, he landed with his feet on where this doll's face would be. Considering the weight of his instrument, as he tucked into a ball, the manikin's head began to be crushed underneath him. He proceeded to leap off the second manikin, unbelievably soarimg through the air, twisting into a barani heading towards the center of the three training dummies where he started...
