The Desert (1-on-1, anyone)

OoC: Okay, here's my first attempt at making a battle.

BiC: Usaka walked over the hard ground, sweating with the heat. "I wish I'd stayed the night in Tolbi..." he thought. Then, he heard rocks falling on the crag to his left. "What the..." Usaka thought.

OoC: Bring on the competetors!

OoC: This seems interesting, but I gotta go to bed now, so I'll post my portion tomorrow.

OoC: Uh... Okay then. Goodnight, I guess...

BiC: "Aww man, this desert is so hot!" Latio, the foxfolk complained as he truged along. Little did he know that he was edging towards a small cliff. "Whoa!" he shouted as he tried to gain balence. "That was close." On the word "close" a wind blew by, just barely strong enough to push the foxfolk off the cliff. He landed with a thud and a longsword at his throat.

"Who are you?" a giant armoured figure was standing over him.

"I'm Latio, a student of the dome." he said, undaunted by the giant's appearence, for he could not see. "And you?"

OoC: Try making your next post almost as long as this one, we don't need thousands of small, two sentence posts, do we?

OoC: OK, I'm just not good at starting posts.

BiC: "My name is Usaka, and I am also a student." was the giant's reply. Latio didn't seem too bad, so he picked him up. "Uh, I was about to make dinner, do you... want to stay and eat?" Usaka asked. Just then he noticed Latio's eyes. Usaka was immeadiatly filled with relief. "He couldn't fight me, he's blind..." he thought.

After both of them had finished eating, Latio was the first to respond. "So, what're you doing in the Sura Desert?" he asked. Usaka looked at the fire, and responded several minutes later. "My reasons are my own." Latio seemed puzzled at this.

OoC: Man, sorry I kept you waiting, but I need to know what Usaka is doing, or where he's going before I can continue...

OoC: He's looking for a guy with the same powers as him, called Isaac.

OoC: Happy holidays!

BiC: The cloudless desert sky was lined with stars. Usaka sat cross legged with his heavy armour resting beside him. As he thought, the stones and pebbles around him levitated slightly, but they dopped when Latio interrupted Usaka's deep meditating. "Why don't we have a quick fight, I want to see how strong you are. The desert is dangerous, so you'll need practice."

"Stop bothering me! Go to sleep!" the warrior bellowed at the now frightened foxfolk.

"Whoa, if you're too scared, then just say so."

Usaka's patience had ended. "I'm not scared of you!" he shouted as he strapped on his heavy armour. "Draw your sword!"

OoC: Just stirring up a fight.

Edit: How do you get those 'x-tremist' things?

OoC: Are you my secret santa, or something?

BiC: The foxfolk took the first blow, straight in the stomach. For some reason, he didn't see it coming. Thankfully, it was with the mace, and not the sword. Blood started to drip out of Latio's mouth, and he looked truly shocked when he touched it.

OoC: I'm sorry, I'm just... having a writer's block right about now.

P.S. PM a mod/webmaster about the x-tremist thing.

Blood? "You just..." Latio wiped blood from his mouth "...caught me off guard. It's not happening again." He choked up more blood and spat it into the crackling fire. The armoured 'giant' slashed his heavy longsword, which made a whooshing sound at it passed. Latio timed the swings, and skillfully leaped up onto the blade. He kicked at Usaka's head, causing his nose to bleed, and kicking his helmet out of the fire's light. The quick fox then jumped onto Usaka's huge shoulderguard, trying to yank it off. Usaka reached towards him, pulling him off with a gauntletted hand, and throwing him to the ground. "Ok, you've beaten me. Now can you tell me what you're doing in this desert?"

"Stop bothering me about it!" he said, raising his massive club....

OoC: It's a mace. :mad:

BiC: Usaka put away his mace, and walked away. "I've had enough of this" he said. "Wait! Why're you..." Latio tried to say, but Usaka was already out of earshot. He tried to run up to Usaka, but he just waved his hand, and the small valley closed. Usaka was gone.

OoC: I'm bored.
