Bit of change. (open fight)

[Talanis]

Talanis groaned as he stood up, stretching his muscles from almost an hour of sitting in a chair, and he was bored, no offers for work, no people getting publicly executed, it was a more than boring day, it was dull. Of course the offering of a bit of change could turn this around, just to find the right person for a friendly fight. He would step outside of the dark pub, squinting in the bright sunlight. The village green was a perfect arena, the day was nice, a firm breeze blew. He then raised his voice, "Whomever wishes, to challenge me in a...friendly battle, and wins, gets a bit of change in their pocket, if they lose, I get a bit of change, any takers? He looked around the area being loud enough to be heard even slightly in nearby buildings, the wind played across the green, bending the grass ever so slightly. Who would answer? Only time would tell.

The sunlight beamed down brighter than Kenji remembered as he emerged from the outskirts of Liadon Woods. It had been almost two years since sunlight had shown his features for the world to see. Wind, something he had not felt in so long ruffled his shoulder length brown hair as he drew a breath of the newly formed dew covering the grass under his feet. The smell was a pleasant exchange from the stench of bogs and the foul demons that used to live in the forest. Now only their carcasses remained, well into the decay.

Two year ago Kenji had made the grand final match of the Tournament of Arms. The match was to be between him and the warrior Spike. Midway through what was turning out to be one of the most epic of Kenji’s life, it was abandoned. The rage and frustration that Kenji built up inside of him during the battle exploded when it was cancelled and no victor would be named. In a blind rage he fled the city slaughtering everyone in his path. That is how Kenji came to live in Liadon Woods. He spent his time slaughtering every foul creature that existed in the horrid place with not only his twin swords but his talented use of the four elements. Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, which Kenji had not yet found someone who could manipulate said elements with such expertise.

Kenji wore a long sleeved grey shirt and black pants that fell over the top of his black war boots. His basic clothing was covered in his battle armour which consisted of hard leather chest plating, steel armguards that covered his lower arms and matching steel shin guards. All of his armour had become worn overtime but still provided necessary protection.

He knew that two hours walk away there was a small town which name he did not know. What he did know was that it was a fairly peaceful town and would have a place for to shower. He did not need to rest, he was completely aware of everything in his surroundings. He began his walk north.

As he arrived in the small town people moved around him, trying to avoid him. It wasn’t the torn clothes and messy look they were avoiding it was the Kenji himself. Even with his swords sheathed in his crossed scabbards tied to his back and his elemental powers under control he was still a menacing figure.

The joy of battle was something Kenji had missed sorely. He had battled numerous evil spawn in the forest but they were simple minded creatures, they did not have the intellect or cunning of even an ignorant human. He longed for someone to pose a threat more than strength. None of the creatures gave much of a challenge. Challenge is what he needed.

"Whomever wishes, to challenge me in a...friendly battle, and wins, gets a bit of change in their pocket, if they lose, I get a bit of change, any takers?”

Kenji directed his attention towards the source of the voice. A man who he had seen exit through the inn. The man had been inside for an extended period of time as Kenji watched his pupils dilate and refocus in the light and the way he arched his muscles out of relaxation.

Better than nothing I guess. Was all Kenji thought as he approached the man who offered the fight.

“I am not interested in your money but a fight you will get, friend.”

Kenji did not dislike the man and knew he would not be able to kill him during a fight. This man had done no wrong to him and seemed an honest and whole-hearted human-being.

Kenji reached over his left shoulder and drew a sword, a familiar metal ring filled the air as surrounding townsfolk backed away to what they assume would be a safe distance to watch from.

“Draw your weapon and let us begin.”

[Talanis]

"Alright then, sounds fair enough." Talanis would voice. Looking the newcomer over, the swords and armor looked well used, this man was no common swordsman, and was probably physically stronger and faster to boot than Talanis, but hell it was just a friendly spar, better than just sitting in a inn all day.

These were the thoughts that raced through Talanis's mind. He stepped into the center of the green a few meters away and he drew his longsword holding it out in a defensive position, crosswise his chest, ready to parry. His eyes swept watched the other intently. "My name is Talanis, if that means anything to you, I trust you are skilled and able, it has been a dull day." he concluded the statment flatly. However it was a friendly tone and he too, meant this battered looking warrior no serious harm. Merely a bit of sport.

He stiffened slightly as if tensing up to leap away from a blow, he had no idea how this warrior would fight, it would be best to play it safe untill he knew how deep the water really was.

(OOC: Sorry if this is a little short I just have a shorter lunch break today (my computer is broken at home.))

Kenji responded ”And I am Kenji, best of luck to you”

Kenji held his gaze as he stared into his eyes trying to gauge wether or not he possessed any abilities outside the realms of human capability. He didn’t see nor sense any but being able to hide ones talents is a talent within itself.

With only one of his swords drawn he held in his right hand, tightened his grip on the hilt and without hesitation broke into a fast sprint while focusing on the wind gushing around them. The wind ceased from blowing softly around them to gusting underneath Kenji levitation him slightly off the ground and gusting from behind propelling him towards Talanis.

The sword was held in line with Talanis’ throat has Kenji shot towards him. Focusing on the ground underneath Talanis’ feet Kenji concentrated on the layer of rock underneath the grass, making it crack and cause a small tremor in an attempt to loosen Talanis’ footing. As Kenji was within striking distance he withdrew his sword as the attack was only meant as a test, to test the nerve and evasiveness of his new challenge. As he withdrew the blade he held it by his side in defensive grip as the wind gave out underneath him and he readied himself to land.
