Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kadryn was stretching in the early morning light along a beach near the oceans surrounding Serenia. Her trip to Aiskala had been interesting and profitable, so she'd decided to relax and not hunt this week. Of course she had to keep on training, but that was a given. She wondered if perhaps she'd run into Kavanna again and get a good sparring match... though she wouldn't mind sparring Maslin again... She needed more experience fighting against magic...


Potential EXP Gains:

Win: 37(14/37)= 14 exp gained

Kadryn decided to practice her unarmed skills for now. She knew that her old teacher Kral was getting back from his own hunting trip soon and she didn't' want him to be disappointed in her abilities. She also knew that he'd test her in things she hadn't practiced in forever so to make sure she was prepared for what ever he threw a her, she began by going over the basic moves he'd taught her. They were simple punches, kicks, and blocks, but Kadryn threw them with speed and strength behind each one as if this practice was a real battle.

She put imaginary enemies in front of her, behind her, on the sides, and did her best to flow from one punch to a kick to a block, back and forth, defending against and attacking foes only she could see. Once she was warmed up, she began to throw in more complex move, a combined punch and kick, a spinning kick, a punch- jump then kick. All the time, moving about bare foot in the shifting beach sands, never staying in one place too long.

She sensed a small approaching figure, but was too engrossed in her imaginary battle to pay too much attention to it.

Kadryn heard a voice call out, "H-hey!" Guess who ever had wandered over wanted to chat... or maybe spar! Sparring with another would be nice, though she'd have to be careful not to get too into the fight...

She ended her imaginary fight with a spinning kick and spun to face who ever had called out. She smiled when she saw the Dovaa girl. So cute, was her first thought. Didn't know Dovaa had butterfly themes to them....
"Hello. Is there something you wanted?" She asked with a grin as she walked over to her bag near by and grabbed a cloth to wipe her sweat off and her water skin.

Kadryn chuckle softly. She remembered the days when she was much younger and smaller and how shy she'd been. So this was how it looked from the other end, eh? No wonder so many people had patted her head when talking to her! Her hands itched to give the small child a big hug. She looked so adorable and harmless! Well, if you didn't count the small whirlwind in her hand of course...

"I'm Kadryn, and no I don't know how to use magic. I can utilize some f the small magic inside me to defend myself, but that's it. I usually fight with my fists or my mace." She gestured towards her large nastily spiked mace that lay by her bag.

Kadryn giggled out loud at Araceli. With a quick grin over her shoulder as she walked back towards her stuff to put the cloth and water skin back.

"Of course I'll spar with you! I need to practice against mages more often. Battling dragons just isn't the same!" After a last drink, she put her stuff down and walked over to the spot where she'd been practicing earlier.
This child was too young for her to even think about using her mace. She'd stick with her fists for this one.. and since it was a young child, there would be no danger and she shouldn't have to worry about raging like in her battle against Maslin.

"I'll let you go first since so that you can get one spell off before the fight. After that though," She grinned broadly. "I'll do my best to stop you from casting any more spells! That way you can practice casting under adverse conditions while I get to see how I can break or stop a spell!"

Kadryn waited while the Dovaa girl called up a wind spell. So this one is an Ayrala? Been a while since I faced an Ayrala dragon, this should be interesting. Once the spell was launched, Kadryn smiled and charged forward. But, unfortunately for her, her feet lost purchase in the soft beach sand and she stumbled and tripped, landing face first in the sand. Laughing out loud at the absurdity of it all, Kadryn quickly rolled off to the right, trying to dodge any spell Araceli would send. She couldn't stop snickering though. She, a barbarian who'd faced down Aiskala Dragons, tripping on sand?

Kadryn rolled up to her feet and looked at Araceli, she had a really weak stance... No grounding in her feet at all. Dashing up, being careful this time to make sure of her footing, Kadryn lashed her leg out at Araceli's legs, intending to sweep them out from under her.

Maybe she didn't ground ehrself cause she was an Ayrala clan and was to airy....

Kadryn waited for another attack, but none came.
"Ah.. Araceli? You okay?" Opps! She didn't mean to have hurt her so soon! She hadn't hit her head on a rock had she? Well, at least there was definitely no chance of raging and scaring the child now...
