[time: 9 minutes - 7:21 pm]

Adain makes his way back into the same arena that he had done battle in the day before, his black duster hanging loosely about his form and wavering behind him as he walked. Lifting the brim of his fedora from where it shrouded his eyes in shadow the lycan eyes his new opponent. Adain’s moves are somewhat hindered as black scorch marks he acquired the day before still mar his skin and agitate his more limber motions. Taking a firm stance in the center of the open floor Adain levels his golden tinged eyes on Tannis and watches the ranger remove his cloak and draw his bow back to start the fight. Flickers of disgust cross his golden green irises, why did he have to chose to fight again so soon, why was he so stubborn. Once the bowstring in Tannis’ grip is released Adain leaps off to the left, hoping to out run the single bolt that flew at him. Wincing in pain at this sharp move the lycan stumbles, almost falling prone on the arena floor. But this misfortune works to his advantage as the arrow splits into several and and soar over his lowered form. Shuddering at how close the fight had come to being over with the first blow Adain regains his footing and whips his left hand under the cloth of his duster, removing a keen knife which he hurls at the man in retaliation, reaching for his sword and surging into motion to follow up his attack and close the distance with this archer.

Tannis Is startled at the lycans movement cursing his luck as the arrows miss their target.Sensing the lycan closing the gap between them Tannis throws down his bow and unsheathes his slender blade, Just as the weapon is raised toward his opponent a small knife arcs it’s self his way, The small blade manages to find the narrowest of gaps between Tannis shoulder and breast plate piercing his skin. Tannis quickly removes the little blade relieved that it was only a two inch deep wound, Tannis then shouts “Smite attack “the rather large Dire wolf that had been sent behind the lycan quickly rushed at his masters voice and bounded towards Adain jaws open wide glistening teeth ready to impair him Tannis rushed forward bring down his own blade in a hefty swipe.

[time: 21 minutes - 7:51 pm]

Adain grasps the pommel of Winter?s Bite, his steps still carrying him towards his opponent as swiftly as they could, his muscles still tingling with the remembrance of the electricity flowing through them the day before. The chill blade is freed from its housing with a steely hiss, frost braking free from the polished face of the weapon. He lets loose a rather long and profane string of curses as the ranger calls his pet in to attack for him, dropping down to a crouch and holding his hands out to either side of his body as he coils in preparation to catch the beast's attack. Black hairs begin to spread across his skin rapidly as his rage takes over and the more primal instincts begin to take control, the shift back towards his wolven state transforming him into a humanoid beast. The elevated levels of though fade from the eyes of his wolven face, flexing his clawed hands as he snarls viciously and lunges in under Tannis' incoming swing to the range that he could grapple with the man. With his enhanced speed and vast size Adain seizes the half-elves wrists, using this grip to divert the swing from his body then with another tremendous coiling of his muscles the lycan hurls the man at his own pet that was bearing down on the lycan with slathering jaws.

[time: 12 minutes - 8:03 pm]

Tannis flattens himself in mid air arms out wide smite‘s leap is only slightly interrupted. As the great beast flies majestically through the air. Tannis hits the ground hard, The air from his body knocked out of him and blood now seeping from a new wound on his face.Tannis turns around to see that the lycan has changed into it’s true form, smite’s jaws had missed it’s target but now the long claws begin to tear at the lycan .Tannis retrieves his sword and now that the lycans attention is disturbed plunges two handily slashing at the lycan.

[time: 15 minutes - 8:18 pm]

Adain shudders, the adrenaline surging through his veins taking over and his primal instincts coming into prominence in his mind. Survival, that was the one word that echoed throughout his skull as the enraged lycan, his icy brand forsaken on the dusty floor of the arena and his only weaponry what his formidable body provided in claws, and teeth. The stood still for a moment, panting with the exertion his last motion had taken, the stinging of his raw skin forgotten in this animal like rage. The dire wolf?s second lunge strikes Adain directly in his chest, the animal biting and snapping at him, claws sinking in the Adain's skin and beginning to tear at it. With a inhuman snarl the lycan grabs the wolf around the neck, claws sinking into the beast's skin as he begins to choke the animal out. A high-pitched shriek echoes about the arena as though it where miles away and yet in the room at the same time, its eerie melody reverberating form the very air surrounding them. A pitch-black steed erupts through a puncture in the very fabric of the material plane in the air behind Adain; the hellish beast shaking its blazing mane pounding the earth with hooves of fiery coals as it lunges forward towards Tannis. The nightmare comes between the ranger and its master, lashing out with diamond hard hooves that blazed like magma in an attempt to save Adain from the oncoming slash that would surely end his life if it connected.

[time: 18 minutes - 8:33 pm]

Tannis removes his left hand from his blade and places it over his ear as smite is thrown twenty feet across the arena floor. The high pitched whimper coming from his beloved pet momentarily stops Tannis in his tracks, looking over towards the wounded wolf Tannis is relieved to see smite get back to his feet, his gaze returns to the lycan and as he is just about to make is final blow he is blocked off by Adains's Nightmare Horse smashing it's mighty hooves into the arena floor. Tannis lovers his blade and returns it back into it?s housing...Wheezing and gasping for breath Tannis slowly backs away from the horse keeping his eye's fixed firmly on Adain. Tannis calls to the lycan good battle my friend "Tannis returns to the far boundary of the arena where the cowering Dire wolf is licking a rather nasty gash on one of its paws.
