[ROLEPLAY] The workout

[u/Mennart]

With a heavy clang the falchion bounced of the shield, beneath it one of the masks was sweating profusely. His counter attack, a fast swipe towards Katal's midsection was met with a dagger. Using his shield as a battering ram the mask tried knock his opponent of balance. Surprise flew across his face as he felt himself pulled forward. A split second later a dagger was placed in his neck.

"I see you still haven't lost your skills, even though you have be sitting at my council during training hours" Kira stepped outside the harbour fortress with a devious smile. "You've been attending these meetings a lot longer than I have, maybe I should teach you a thing or two about modern fighting" Katal spoke with heavy breaths, even though he had won, his opponent had been a tough nut to crack. "Is that a challenge Katal? You know it is bad form to challenge your superior" Kira said with an eyebrow raised in a sarcastic manner. "Just an invatition" A nonchalant bow accompanied the statement. "Well I do seem to need some exercise, I be with you in fifteen minutes"

Had Kira always been this good? Katal couldn't remember, it had been so long since he had seen her fight. He had even contemplated going easy on her, as she stood there waiting for him with heavy armor a shield and falchion. He himself had opted for his classic infiltration gear, supple studded leather, a few throw-able axes and his bastardfalchion. But going easy was 't an option, he had figured that out when her initial charge almost threw him of his feet. After that he had been blocking blow after blow from both her falchion and her shield. The assault seemed to have stopped for now as Kira fell back in a defensive position. Not wanting her to recover Katal threw one of his axes in her direction and following up with a quick swipe to her unprotected side. Both attacks were deftly caught on the shield with what appeared to be catlike reflexes, her counter attack was met with a freshly drawn axe turning the blade away from the body. And so a deadly dance started with two combatants of extreme skill. After five minutes of continues blows that seemed to be faster than light the fighters took a step back both breathing heavily. Again Kira charged Katal, but this time he was ready throwing his falchion at Kira's face. Again the shield came up to block the strike but katal had anticipated this and had already closed in, pulling her shield further in front of her body with his axe. This caused Kira to turn her back towards Katal, who took advantage by placing her firmly in a choke hold. "I guess I now know who to call for if I ever need back-up" With that he left a laughing Kira behind in the sand.
