Neracelc appeared with a smile on his face.

"Adastrea! Come on out there`s no where to escape!"

Neracelc held his sword ready for any tricks

She took a deep breath and stepped out, sword ready. She knew she didn't look like a warrior, but she was very skilled with a sword. With the dress and the pathetic looking elf maiden in front him, he was sure to get haughty. She faced him, "Now it is fair, we both have a weapon" She said, ready to block any blows he might give.

Thinren walked to the edge of the cave but stayed in the shadows, so he was hidden. He saw the bald man and instantly recognised him.
He drew the arrow back a little and waited to see what happened.

Neracelc bursted into manical laughter and couldn`t help it, he stopped laughing finally and pointed at her with his sword and smiled without under estimating her.

"My pleasure.."

He walked forwards and made a quick swing towards her left shoulder, then he spinned around for another slash toward her right rib.

She blocked each easily, seeing that she surprised him she smirked, swinging at him this time, "You are not the only one who learned to fight in Mordor" She ducked as he slashed at her again and swung around behind him, swinging her sword towards the back of his knee.

Neracelc jumped up and brought his sword down trying to impale her, but she blocked it and the swords held together.

"Well that just makes this more interesting cause I have no intention to lose, but to tell a little secret just between us... I never hunted you for the money really... it`s just the thrill of a chase that I truly seek"

He jumped back and attacked again with a low slash, he then took the sword with two hands and hit a a slash towards her sword with all his strength as an intention to get her off balance.

She glared at him slightly, "Well, glad to know I give somewhat of a challenge" she said blocking another blow. "I have no intention to lose either, while I spent my time gaining enough trust in Mordor to get them to train me as an assassin, I learned from other races too, including my own, but you would not know which race that is" She cried out slightly at the impact and lost her balance, her arm hurt badly. Instead of fighting against it, she let her self fall and immediately roll out of the way and swing at his leg as she moved to get up.

Neracelc jumped up slightly dodging to blade and smiled.

"Oh please don`t expect me to be a fool to fal for such an old trick..."

Neracelc continued with furious and concentrated slashes & stabs at her.

She was beginning to get tired, she couldn't stop, not now. She swung at him, but stopped and turned to swing the other direction. "If I had my own sword you would not be so joyful" She muttered in frustration. This sword was too heavy, it was not all that easy to swing around and pull fakes like her's was. She felt his sword cut into right arm. She winced, that was her good arm. She started swinging her sword as if with no purpose then plunged it at him, her arm was killing her. She couldn't let it hinder her fighting, she couldn't...

Neracelc countered he slashes and strikes with his own, his plan seemed to work and he was suddenly slightly bothered because he had seen a figure besides the fight, but didn`t bother. Neracelc continued the fight with furious, but controlled blows.

I can`t fail now that I have come this far!

She was doing nothing but blocking, his strength hurt her with each stroke. She had to think of something. With one of the blows she fell to the ground, she looked up at Nercalec and started backing away towards her sword which landed a couple feet away. She looked over towards the cave, the look saying not to do anything until she gave the signal. She needed to do this on her own. "So, how many have put up a fight as I have?" She asked, buying time as she crawled backwards. "I am surprised you did not rob my home before you burned it. I may be a slave, but I have plenty of riches." She fingered the sword behind her back, watching as he came closer. She was ready, she just waited until he was close enough.

Neracelc stood there with a small smile on his tattooed face, he pointed her with the sword.

"Oh yeah sure.... you think I had ever a choice in what I became? You think I chose this life with such pleasure? No I didn`t, but once I became what I am then I haven`t been able to let go...Now...goodbye Adastrea.."

Neracelc raised his sword.

She grabbed the sword, because of the weight of it, she could only block the blow. But given her position she was able to give a hard kick to his stomach. She pushed her sword, letting it run down the blade of his, making an irritating screeching sound. Her sword cut his hand and she kicked the sword from his hand. She kicked it away and pointed her sword at him. "Everyone from Mordor always had to stand before their enemy who still had a sword and speak words of triumph over them, causing them tohave a weakness."

Neracelc shrugged at her.

"Oh fine you got my sword....what are you going to do kill me?!"

Neracelc laughed.

"Sure... what the hell, go ahead! Take my worthless life that you can feel good about yourself..."

Neracelc suddenly drew his knife out of his boot and smiled.

"Now I am not defensless, but this makes this more interesting and don`t think that I can`t block a sword with this dagger...."

Neracelc smiled and jumped towards her legs, he guided her sword away and rolled on the ground picking up his own as he got up.

"Now.. where were we?"

Neracelc slashed towards her

She jumped away, looking at her sword which lay behind him. She bit her lip looking around, she found a rather large rock and grabbed it as she ducked to avoid his swing. "If you kill me death will find you, it will eight times as painful as my death." She gave in, knowing not only Neracelc would hear her, but also Thinren. She just hoped Thinren really was on her side, "The Valar do not tolerate their children to be killed without revenge." She threw the rock at him and sprinted for her sword, hoping he didn't block her.

Thinren kept in the shadows and watched the fight. He stopped himself a few times from shooting. If she came into grave danger with no hope of surviving he would step in. He let the bow slacken slightly and continued watching.
