[Round 1] Raphael Ansoomse vs. Paropakari

[Ctrl F Greenie]

Time had flown for the dark lion. In the most recent ceremonies he had gained a mate, married, and would eventually be looking to start a new family. During the last Sky Ceremony he had done well enough to reach third place. He had joined with the hopes of besting that this year. So when sign ups came about he wasted very little time.

Approaching the grounds where the brawls took place had grown on him. The area wasn't much different than anywhere else and yet it held a significant meaning for him. Here he felt so much pride in himself and his clan.

He glimpsed about to see who his first opponent might be.

This was the start of Paro's second year in the Ela'wadiyi. Seemed like a good enough time to try and join in on the Sky Ceremony, he supposed. He felt stronger and more virile than ever, likely due to the litter of 9 his mate had just borne him (following their first litter of 14 made it feel a little small but nevertheless still impressive).

Confidently, he strode into the arena to face his opponent. He was met by a large, dark lion, covered in tattoos. Hmm, he thought to himself, I should get some tattoos as well... He regained his focus and bobbed his head in greeting.

"Shall we start?" He couldn't wipe the grin off his face. He was just too excited.

The lion that approached him was one he had heard rumors of. He was the father of healthy litter that was brand new to the bird clan. Of course he hadn't seen this for his own eyes, but he made a mental note to see the new little lives to join the Ela. Before he could consider the pelt that was lacking tattoos the lion spoke. "Firstly, the name is Raphael." He smiled slightly and strode a few paces before taking a more formal battle stance.

"We shall." He remarked. The smile his opponent wore was contagious and he grinned right bac at him, but continued on in silence. The next move he made was much more concise than his first time around in the tournament as he lunged forward, his right paw extended in a swipe.

"Paropakari." He didn't even have the time to get out his last name before they had started. Very good, he thought. Raphael landed a fair blow, but Paro was quick to parry with one of his own. His blood was running hot and his mind raced. Should he try to calm down to pace himself through the fight? Should he run with this vim and vigor and try to end the fight quickly? He didn't even have the time to strategize, it was already in full swing. The orange lion would just trust his instincts and hope he had as good of luck in fights as he had with fertility.

Reacting far too slow he was hit while in motion causing his footing to fumble and down he went. The orange lion had terrific instinct or very good luck, Raph was quick to recognize that it was likely the earlier statement. "Well done, those youngsters are keeping you fit." He mused at the new father and grinned profusely as he collected himself back into a standing position. A good stretch showed off his muscular build before he relaxed and tossed his mane.

He only took moments to really assess the situation before striking again - his routine was easily recognized as someone who may be far to excited by the battle. He was losing sight of strategy quickly - which didn't bode well for him.

Paro was getting it back just as good as he was dishing it out. He grinned and blew a puff of air, eyes wide thinking of the time he’d had 14 cubs who had just begun walking all the same day.

“You don’t even know the half of it!”

The scales of luck seemed balanced for the time being as Paro was also sent sprawling not long after Raphael had been in that same position. He was glad Gopala wasn’t there to watch and to fret over him. He could be more free in his enjoyment not having to worry about her worrying.

He tensed his muscles to spring for another attack. At the level at which they were fighting it would probably be over quickly, He hoped to be the one to end it.
