Duel:Riotka v Soyna

Soyna's First Duel

Riotka stands with his back turned to the opening to the street. Facing the brambles the dark energies here arced and raced all around his body. Feeling the presence of another he slowly drew his massive sword from the holster on his back. The metal makes a slight scraping sound as it is released. The edge glares hungrily as it's master turns reviling one eye threw his hood. "This is the wrong place to be...." turning to face the vampire now. Although in his human form, his eyes glared like that of a dragon. "This road....." Suddenly throwing his sword at her head , but missing high and to the left of her. "This road leads to hell!" suddenly a scraping noise is heard from behind her as she begins to realize the sword thrown at her was being pulled back via a small metal wire. The blade charged at her, attempting to take her head in one swift strike. An evil grin covers Riotka's face now.

Soyna wandered into the back ally, looking for a fresh meal wondering if perhaps a fool had drunkenly stumbled into the back lot. Her slave had an uneasy stomach so she allowed for him to sit by the corner. Upon hearing the males words she lets out a slight chuckle. As the first attack is thrown the woman’s chuckle quickly fades. Her eyes follow the blade as it splits the air next to her head. Taking the opportunity of a missed attack the vampriss starts to charge the dragon. Jumping into a front flip over the attacker she is caught off her flight by the returning of the blade tearing into her dress and causing a scrape upon her calf. Though the fall from her jump did the most damage as she lands with a loud thud behind the dragon. As she rises, her eyes no longer the beautiful hazel they normally are. Thus a black shadow fills her optics. From the opening of the ally appears a large wave of menacing and fear filling darkness. Seemingly unnoticed by the female the wave rushes towards the two duelists engulfing them both in a single swipe. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days as nothing is seen nor heard in the shadow but pure darkness. The sound of water starts to filter though the senses as it tinkles down rocks. A large candle ignites in the center illuminating in the center of what appears to be a cave. Shadows flicker as a cold breeze pushes though the cave. From the left of the new comer a shadow clone of the vampriss runs charging at the male a blade held in her hand. From the right a second clone charges this with a large katana. And from directly behind the dragon Soyna charges her bladed whip held tightly in her grasp. Drawing her hand back she snaps the whip forward hoping to send shards of sharpened ice at the dragons skin, while the two clones prepare to rush their blades though the dragons chest.

Riotka stands smiling wildly as he watches the blade make it glorious return with it's owners hand. Watching carefully his eyes glowed and seemed to almost never even blink. His smile of joy and hate ever present. Watching as the woman makes her great leap into the shadows Riotka sticks his blade in the ground. He was about to turn and face her when the footsteps of others stopped him. Scanning quickly from left to Riotka dropped his body weight and leaped at the first enemy. In the air he was surprised as he Bladed Wrist band made contact and slide down her blade. Thinking to himself these must be copies being as she leaped the other way. As Riotka thought this to himself his body automatically pushed her blade up and holding both her hands in his left above her head turned his body suddenly, with the blade on his other arm he drove it deep into her chest. By this time the second copy had nearly reached Riotka and the dieing vampire copy. As she neared Riotka extended his hand, Her expression changed for a moment in the air as her strike was bearing down upon the couple was cut short by a forceful blow from behind. The blade rang slightly in his hand. Turing his head he saw the shards racing towards him. All he could manage to do was turn the corpse in his arms towards the on coming attack. The Corpse provided minimal shielding as the shards pierced threw the body and stuck into his armor. They hurt, but his wounds were not serious. Anger and rage fill his heart as the dragon tosses the limp corpse at the attacker and leaps backwards. His form shimmered and the air began to stir, the candle goes out and the cave goes dark. Until the eruption of fire burst forth from the other side of the room. The pillar off fire chasing after the flung corpse.

Soyna lofted her head to the side as her copies were no sooner dead then she had created them. As a corpse identical to her self comes flying at her form, Soyna draws her leg back and kicks the body forward unknowing of the flame behind it, until the body has vanished into the flames. Quickly turning on her back and running the woman’s leg is caught by the flames sending burn marks up and down her back but also closing the wound left by the dragons blade. Running as quickly as she can she disappears into the darkness of the cave once again. “You fool, you talk of the ally leading to hell… you just sealed your fate” her words echo though out the cavern each different word seeming to come from a different direction. Masking her location in the cave. The echoing of her voice is quickly drawn out by the sound of a large lycan howling fallowed by loud padded thuds as one of her slaves makes an appearance in the cave golden yellow iris’s with red tinted pupils shine brightly. Sniffing the air the large lycan searches for the intruder into his home and charges toward the dragon. Raising his paw in attempt swipe the large nailed object at the dragon with intent to dig his nails deep into the dragons neck.

Riotka remained smiling as he slithers across the floor. All the while picking out the shards. Dropping them at different points on the cave floor to distract the Lycan. The play only seemed to work for a moment. The smell would surely give him away. Soon the lycan was staring at him threw the dark as it leaped threw the air. Riotka tried to move back to avoid the jump, but only managed to move far enough back forcing the lycan into more of a pounce. The Dragon being many times bigger than lycan twist to the right, as they connect. The claws scraping across this cheek as the dragon tried to turn his head away from the attack, Meanwhile Riotka's claw slide threw the side of the beast. The bleeding animal hit the floor with a resounding thud. The Bloodied Lycan turned his head just in time to see a close view of the flames spewing forth from the dragons maw. Hovering over the lycan that now lite the room again. "No more hiding no more tricks." he paused as he steps backwards into the shadow once more. "No more games, this is where you die." From the darkness the sound of metal being picked up are heard. Followed by a humming sound. Finally from the darkness come a spinning disc like shape. The flying sword appears to come down too low. But then it hits the floor with nothing more than a skip and bounces from a low to high angle at her head again.

Soyna ‘s eyes grow wide with the sudden burst of flame lighting up the cave. The large amount of light nearly blinding her, only her ears to hear the situation she picks up on the sound of the water trickling down the walls she picks up on the sound of the flying sword scratch along the ground knowing for certain that the fall wasn’t the killing point of the momentum. Drawing back her whip she counts each split second in her head before thrusting the ice lined whip and starts a chant, one that supposed darken the room once more, but due to the throwing of her wrist she grunts a word causing it to be softer then its brethren causing a new command to be placed upon the manna surrounding the two warriors. Simultaneously as Sonya’s whip is sent out the blade cuts though the ice strap and pierces though her arm, her frail little body starts to fly back with the force from the on coming weapon. A piece that had been cut by the blade’s flying attack was still in motion rushing towards the dragon iced blades drawn out and ready to pierce though the toughest of skins. And finally from behind the woman, the shadow that brought them to the cave to begin with due to command from the energy rises up and races to swallow Soyna and Riotka again. Taking them back to the darkened ally where Sonya’s human slave still sits on the corner.

Riotka engulfed in rage. His breathing heavy. The Ping of his blade striking and sticking in the wall was unmistakable. The vampires muttered words ring out her location but by this time the shards were in mid air and on target. The wind stirred as the wings of the dragon pushed him strait back. As he flew backwards he watched the shards coming closer. Every thing moved slowly in his mind as he reverted to his smaller human form. Shifting his weight as he fell backwards he managed to kick the first shard on the side, the next was at his face by the time he landed on the ground again. All Riotka could do was raise his arm allowing the shard to stop in his left for arm. Other shard few past various parts past his head and torso. One moving the air around his ear so that he clearly could her the velocity in which it was thrown. Sliding to a stop as he neared the ally wall. He glanced back at the wall then back to the Vampire. Pausing for a moment to look at the shard still in his arm. Taking the end of the shard in his mouth he locked eyes with the woman and pulled the bloodied shard out. Never even blinking as he stared deep into her eyes. Spitting it to the ground he smiled wildly at her. Blood still in his teeth. His face showing a sick perverse joy over the pain and nearness to death that battle brings. Taking a few steps towards the Vampire at the opening of the ally the man shifted into the form of a dragon again and breathed in deeply. Letting loose a roar that echoed obscenely upon the solid wall of the ally. A challenge that if she wished to continue he would not stop. Riotka shouted, "RRROOOAAAARRRRRR"
