Terrain
The snowing has just stopped. A thin layer of snow covered the ground and the leafless trees. The snow, having just fallen within the past couple of hours or so, was still fluffy and full of volume. Surprisingly the sun was out; it reflected across the snow and made it even bright. Full grown trees as well as tree stumps were numerous on the field; hindering one's vision slightly. To the left there was a lake, apparently frozen over from the low temperature.
Your opponent and their Kyn is standing on the otherside of the field, waiting for the battle to begin. A judge stood to the left, whistle in hand. He blows the whistle and yells...

((Tranduil types in normal, and Mararan types in green.))
Tranduil gave a kynish grin as he made a quick bow to ShinJu. Wasting not a moment more, Dui started to walk slowly in a sort of circle...waiting for ShinJu to make a move, or reveal an opening. Just in case, he took a deep breath, collecting a bit of wind power, preparing himself.
Mararan had decided to start off this battle with her makeshift spear, but her bow and arrows were strapped to her back, at the ready. She followed her kyn, staying close to his side and also looking for any sort of opening. Looking around at their surroundings, her eyebrows scrunched downward. This wasn't exactly the best place, in her opinion. For one thing...it was cold. And she hated the cold. She'd just have to ignore it. And the bright snow would certainly prove to be a problem to her eyes...that would have to be taken care of...

(( Paige will type in black and Shinju will type in blue ))
Paige stood close to her kyn, shivering in the freezing weather. She'd known the event was north, but she hadn't come prepared for the cold temperatures. Granted, she did have on a heavier layer than normal just because of higher altitude flight patterns, but it seemed like nothing against the sharp bite of the frozen landscape.
Shinju curled his tail around Paige, the feathery mane ruffled by the light breeze. His thick hide, built for all kinds of terrain, kept him warm; but he worried for his human's health in this weather. At the start of the battle, he dipped his head as Tranduil had done. The cold would slow down his human, and the fact that this pair were friends would make it all the more difficult.
He took in a breath of the freezing air and released a bellowing roar, eyes sparking as he collected his own power about him.
Paige drew her bow from her back, stringing in an arrow. She couldn't hope to hit anything at this distance, and the glare off of the snow would just make hitting a target even more difficult.
The human and kyn pairing waiting, like the others, for the first move to be made.

Mara just had to have happened to step into a larger pile of snow, didnt she? Her entire leg was pretty much wet by now...and freezing. Her teeth chattered, and she was pretty sure she was losing the feeling in her toes. She shook her foot off, and peered up at Paige, noting that her friend had her bow out and strung. She gave her a weak smile, hoping she knew she was sad that they had to do this against each other. Don't hold back on me... She thought...knowing very well she might end up doing so herself.[/green]
Tranduil snapped his body forward suddenly, deciding on starting it before both humans got too cold. It wouldnt help if there were two frostbitten girls in the middle of this snow! He roared as he charged forward, making as if to snap his head at Shinju, but instead took off into the air, right above his opponent, hovering with his teeth and claws at the ready.
Mara had been waiting for something like this, so when her kyn took off, she quickly grabbed at his tail and hung on. When Dui was about to take off, Mara scrambled up onto his back, hugging his body as close to her as she could, taking in his body heat.

Shinju snapped his body down to the ground in a serpentine motion, mouth gaping and teeth glinting. His jaws closed on air as Dui launched himself off the ground, and Shinju chased him in a back roll. He spiraled in the air after the other, roaring his challenge. He wouldn't hold back, of course. He was the prince of the clan, and he had to fight with honor in order to not lose it.
Paige was knocked to the ground from the combination force of Dui's apporach and Shinju's launch from ground to air. She picked herself up out of the snow, shivering, as she tried to string an arrow. She followed Dui's path, but Shinju was far too wrapped up in his own aerial acrobatic display to realize what his bonded was attempting.
She dropped her gaze, squinting at the glare from the snow. She didn't have the range to hit Mararan, and in truth didn't want to take aim at her friend.

Dui flew even higher, still facing his opponent. He whipped his tail foreward, attempting to grab at Shinju. Not exactly thinking he'd be able to catch him with such a foreward move, Tranduil began to focus some more of his power towards his mouth. This was a spell he disliked greatly, since it often hurt his mouth quite a bit...but it needed to be done. His mouth glowed, it was obvious he was holding in a spell...waiting for the right moment.
Mara opened her eyes and looked down. Shinju had taken off and this had suddenly turned into an aerial fight. She meeped, realizing how high they were now. Looking down at the sights, she noticed Paige, bow in hand. That would be a problem...but then why wasn't she shooting? Oh...her kyn was in the way... It's clan leader against clan prince! It won't be easy...no, it never is. She held on to her kyn tighter. Maybe she would have been better off on the ground!

Shinju sped up slightly, managing to only get smacked with the other's tail on his hindquarters. He stiffled a roar, eyes still glinting from the energy he'd gathered before Tranduil had charged forward. He noted the other's move, knowing that his weakness was his rider. Shinju gave a snapping of his jaws - indicating and yet not attacking Mararan.
Instead, he tipped his head farther back, releasing what he had held into the air, hopefully before the other kyn could make his move, making a backwards dive away from the other pair and his own magic. A small ball of light hovered a moment where Shinju had released it, then burst open in a harmless, but blindingly bright sparkle of energy. Shinju's underbelly was exposed in his backwards dive, but he was counting on the other being blinded.
Now! He rocked Paige back on the ground with his bellow through their mind link, and her grip let loose on the arrow as she tumbled backwards. It was poorly aimed because she had been thrown off balance.

Tranduil couldn't help but chuckle when he realized he only managed to 'spank' the other kyn. His chuckling died almost right away. He had been distracted by this 'joke' and payed for it dearly. The light blinded him, and he shut his eyes tightly, roaring. Realizing that he was basically a sitting duck , staying there in the air, he began to thrash violently, wriggling around and about everywhere, huge tears coming from his eyes as he desperately tried to regain sight by blinking quickly.
Mara yelped when Dui started to wriggle, and she barely managed to hang on. I am so gonna die... She looked down, trying to see how far away the groud was. SNOW. How she HATED the snow. She waited for a moment, then, when Dui's body was *somewhat* close to the ground, she let go of her hold and tumbled down onto the ground, rolling around in the cold snow. Keeping ahold of her spear, she stood and pointed it at her friend and friends kyn. Uh oh.
Dui continued to trash in the air, but when the arrow finally hit, since he was such alarge target...it hit him nicely in his back foot. Roaring again, surprised by the sudden pain, Tranduil just dropped, landing hard very very close to Mara. She screamed and threw herself at her kyn, trying to help. He struggled and stood, eyes still blinking rapidly and tearing heavily. He kept his back left foot off the ground. He wasn't very happy now. His mouth glowed and he let out his spell...it was a huge gust of wind, blowing all the powdery snow in front of him at Paige and Shinju.

Paige stared on, frightened at Tranduil's roar of pain and at his confused and desperate actions. She shivered physically and mentally, not even beginning to imagine what kind of feedback Mararan was getting from him mentally.
She bit her lip, hesitating on what to do.
As the other's roar hit the air, Shinju knew he had succeeding in his attack. He didn't let his guard drop, but his position when Dui began his thrashing was less-than-compensatory. He took a series of slashes to his hind legs and tail, a long claw mark screeching down his lower abdomen. His own scream chorused to Tranduil's as he hit the snowy ground - hard.
If the mental input from Shinju hadn't been enough to knock Paige back onto the ground (this just wasn't her day for standing, was it?) then the two kyns crashing and shaking the earth around her was. She had no more stood and began moving to Shinju's side than Tranduil's elemental technique blew through the surrounding area. The human was, once more, thrown to the ground. She tumbled a bit, skidding past Shinju in the snow and finally rolling to a stop in a pile of the stuff.
Shinju was a snarling, hissing fit, laying on his side while his eyes burned in rage. The surrounding snow was quickly soaking to crimson, his shredded hindquarters perhaps preventing him from standing and certainly from thinking straight. If Paige couldn't get it through his clouded mind to stop and heal, the fight would be over.
The blast of wind hit him, and he hunkered down in the snow further. His massive nostrils filling with the frosted white flakes as he shut his eyes to keep out the searing chill. When it died down, he responded with a terrible roar and hauled himself into a half-stand. His hindquarters were useless in the snow, only his front clawed hands supporting him. He issued another roar of challenge, eyes sparking with gathered energy as he shook his head to try and rid it of the gathered clumps of snow.

"Dui!" Mara hissed at her kyn, shocked at the force of the spell he had let out. She spun around to look for her friend. She almost fainted when she saw Shinju's condition. She didn't know if she'd be able to go through with this. But Dui was not about to stop, she knew. She took a deep breath and hugged one of Tranduil's front legs. "Dont...hurt anyone too bad, ok?" She gulped and let go of his leg, understanding he had a plan now.
Dui was a bit surprised that Shinju had gotten so cut. He had just been trying to not be an easy target...and apparently he got more through. Shaking off pity...for now...he growled back at his opponent. The stench of blood was making him feel uneasy...NO. Ignore it. He took one step forward, hopping with his only useful back leg...obviously better than Shinju. Pausing, he bowed to Shinju again and then with a sudden burst of energy, leapt into the air to fly above Shinju, Mara once again on his warm, warm back.

Shinju roared again in response, frivolities of bowing forgotten. His eyes continued to smolder with gathering light energy, even as his head followed Dui's movement into the air. This time, Shinju did not take off after him but remained where he was.
Paige had gotten back onto her feet, her face and clothing smudged with blood and snow. She had a determined look to her, and her eyes were on Tranduil as well.
From the more controlled movements of the Japanese kyn, it looked as if Paige had gotten through to him.
In a quick movement, she had strung another arrow onto her recovered bow, and was lining up a shot at the kyn in flight. Stubborn, as always.

Mara held her spear tightly. She didn't want to use it! But Dui would not forgive her if she held back so much. They were weaving around and about in the air, and Mara was feeling a bit dizzy. But not enough. Darn. She wouldnt have any excuse. Eyebrows knitting downward in determination, Mara took aim with her makeshift spear, holding it up, pointing downward at the kyn. She wouldn't dare hit her friend. That would be too much.
Dui, finally noticing Shinju's eyes....they were too bright to ignore...quickly changed his 'plan.' Whatever it was...shaking his head, he readied himself for a quick, simple spell of his own. It was one of his simplest...so it wouldn't take too much time. Not having much else to do, he continued to fly above Shinju and Paige, wriggling around randomly to avoid being an obnoxiously easy target.

There was a sudden, yet expected, burst of bright light, centered around the ground where Shinju had been standing. Had the kyn miss-fired?
In the same instance that the blast went off, Paige released her arrow. From her place on the ground, she was blinded by the light and had nothing to go on but Tranduil's previous place in the sky. She knew her shot was almost guranteed to miss.
Before the light had faded there was a roar, and pushing through the swath of bright elemental energy came Paige's prince of kyn, his body still glowing slightly as an after-effect. He'd cast a strong, built-up healing spell on himself, and was once more in the fight. His hindquarters were still bloodied, and there were fresh scar markings and a number of cuts, but he wasn't gushing rivers any more and the pain had been dulled significantly.
He came from below with his mouth gaping, fangs flashing in the reflected sunlight from the snow and the light left over from his own technique. His aim was, of course, to take a chunk out of the other Japanese kyn. The downside was that his own healing technique had blocked his view of Mararan and he was unaware of her spear being aimed.
Blocked by Shinju's massive form, Paige strung another arrow into her bow and waited for another shot. Unlike Mararan, she was distanced from her kyn now, still waiting on the ground for his return. That was how Shinju protected her, by keeping her off of his back and out of his way.

Dui snapped his head foreward when he saw the arrow shoot randomly into the air. Reaching out quickly, he closed his jaws and broke it into a bunch of small pieces, deeming it useless. He smirked and turned back to watch at this bright light show and wait for Shinju. It wasn't long before his opponent came back out to fight, and boy was Tranduil ready. A bit disappointed that Shinu had managed to heal...(Dui cursed at himself for letting him get a spell ready), Dui lunged at the prince head on, teeth also bared, and three claws as ready as they could be. When the two kyns slammed into each other...if it happened...Dui would slash out and block and bite at Shinju with all his might.
Mararan was certainly surprised when Shinju came flying at them. So it was more of a reflex than a ready attack when she let her spear go flying down at the large kyn coming at her and her own clan leader. She almost immidiately regretted even letting go of the spear. She really REALLY didnt want to hurt anyone! She winced as Dui scolded her in her mind. And she winced even more when she realized he was right. She quickly removed her bow from her back, and strung an arrow, ready.
