The quarry at twilight, an eerie place. The wind gusted through the soft stone and caused flurries of dust to rise. The area had been lit by torches in sconces, the light flickering and dancing as the wind played with it. A wide part of the quarry was roped off as boundaries for dueling contestants. The roped area included a pile of large boulders, an open sandy area, and sheer rock walls. High on the edge of the quarry rested a small booth in which the tournament judges watched.

A voice echoed down to the contestants. "Round one! Razer versus Luke the Warrior! Begin!"

[Skyblade]

Razer gripped her sword so tightly she could feel her paws trembling. Her sharp eyes, with torchlight flickering in them, never left her oppenent. The young otter knew what a powerful warrior he was, and that she was up for a challenge. At least the feeling of her bow and quiver strapped to her back and her sturdy sword held firmly in her paws, ready for an attack, made her feel a bit more secure. Gritting her sharp teeth, Razer waited for Luke to make the first move.

"I'm sorry I have to fight a brave young beast such as yourself." Luke drew his old battle sword and held it in front of him, positioned so he would get some protection from the blade. He charged, the sword still in the defensive position.

[Skyblade]

Razer felt a bit touched by the comment but knew she had to focus on the battle. Keeping her sword in her paw, the otter purposely dropped to the ground and rolled. She sweeped one of her sturdy legs at Luke's, hoping to unbalance him in some way. The claws on her foot were extended to reach out further and possible inflict some damage. At the same time she held her sword in front of her chest for possible protection.

OOC:You probably already knew this, but just in case, otters do have claws on their feet.

**Judge this post please.

[W0NWILL]

That was unexpected, Luke had underestimated the otter, a terrible mistake. He went heavily to the ground, a small injury from Razer's claws on his foot and thrust his sword up to avoid cutting himself. Bad idea. He used this position to his advantage, he rolled onto his back and kicked powerfully at Razer's face.

OOC: Judge this post please.

[Skyblade]

Razer saw the kick coming and quickly sweeped up her arm to block her face, taking most of the blow there instead but getting a cut on her cheek. She rolled away, putting her sword on her belt and trying to ignore the pain in her arm. Getting to her feet as fast as she could, the otter took out her bow, and used her good arm to string and fire an arrow at Luke's thigh. The harder it was for him to walk, the harder it was for him to fight.

[W0NWILL]

Luke was already up when the arrow was fired. At this range Razer could hardly miss. The arrow stuck in his thigh causing his leg to buckle for a moment. He caught himself and jabbed his sword at Razer. He then backed away as quickly as he could. He ducked down briefly and snapped the arrow, wisely leaving the tip in him.

OOC: Judge this post please.

[Skyblade]

The sword hit Razer's arm, the one that was already injured. Gritting her teeth, she backed away while strapping her bow back on her strap. That arm was so in pain now that she didn't want to use it for much anything. She grabbed her sword again with her good arm, and positioning it in a way so the keen tip was pointing forwards, she leaped past Luke close enough that her sword could slice past the side of his body and possibly inflict damage.

OOC: Judge this post please.

[W0NWILL]

Luke hopped away, but not quick enough to avoid a cut on his shoulder. He retaliated by coming at Razer with his sword flashing in quick, figure eight movements. He bared his teeth in a grin, finally he was fighting somebeast who would fight back.

[Skyblade]

Razer landed on her feet a bit clumsily after leaping past Luke and wasn't so prepared for his next attack. The otter faced her opponent, attempting to parry his blows but getting a cut on her shoulder and hand. She couldn't help being impressed by his skill, but knew she was going to get more cuts than wanted if she kept this up. Razer flitted her gaze to Luke's cut shoulder, as if planning to strike there, but instead jabbed at his thigh(the one that didn't have an arrow in it).

[W0NWILL]

Luke had saw her gaze on his shoulder and(foolishly) prepared to duck when her blade moved. The change was unexpected, he ended up ducking and he got a slash to his side for his troubles. He grimaced, but wasn't afraid to hide the pain. It made a warrior stronger. He jabbed multiple times at Razer's stomach, her head, her paw. He jumped back to see if he did any damage.

OOC: Please judge this post.

[Skyblade]

Razer let her guard down when her blow hit, which she instantly regretted a moment later. Barely noticing the sword coming for her stomach, she twisted her body and took the blows on her side. Right when she thought it was over, the sword struck again and she got stabbed at her already-cut cheek. As she was about to retaliate, she saw Luke's sword coming in again at her paw. The otter leaped away, breathing heavily from her wounds. For a moment it seemed as if she was about to give up, then she raised her sword and leaped forward, striking at Luke's paw in an attempt to make him drop or lose grip of his sword. "If I go down, I go down fighting!"

[W0NWILL]

"Honorable," Luke said. He pulled his sword back towards his chest but wasn't able to stop Razer's sword from hitting the hilt of his. A ringing sensation traveled through the sword and Luke dropped it involuntarily. He immediately crouched down and grabbed the sword with his other paw, not taking his eyes off Razer.
