Niell followed her gaze and cursed inwardly. He backstepped to get better footing. He tried to pull the dagger out of the lock but the blades were intertwined in the perfect way and it stuck.

She narrowed her eyes and kneed him hard in the stomach, unlocking their blades, she backhanded him across the side of his head with her sword hilt. The elders were puzzled by her sudden spark of anger.

(ah... if I vanish, my Mom dragged me away... lol)

((okay, lol if I vanish I'll be back on later))

Niell doubled over when her knee connected with his stomach. He was relieved that the blow hadn't knocked the air out of him. He got another shock when he felt her sword hilt smash against the side of his head. His vision blurred for a moment but he made a quick recovery and countered by giving her a hard kick in the back.

Tahlavain hadn't expected him to recover so quickly, and wasn't prepared for the kick in the back. She dropped onto her hands, her sword and dagger sliding some distance. Continuing the drop, she rolled, again picking up both dagger and sword. Getting to her feet she gasped, catching her breath, a blue fire burning in her eyes. Tahlavain rushed him and turned side ways, high-kicking his jaw, then while preparing to block possible blows with her dagger, she swung her sword inwards, towards his midsection.

((you kicked me in the jaw O_O ouch! ))

Niell felt his head fly back as he was kicked in the jaw. He staggered backward a few steps, narrowly avoiding the tip of the sword. He realized that his pulse was racing, this was going much further than he expected. He stole a quick glance to where the judges were sitting before sheathing his sword and drawing his other dagger. The dark blade didn't reflect the sunlight, this was a last resort for him.

[ By the way, Niell. I read your character's bio, and it sounds almost similar to Alassea's. Have you read it? Just an odd coincidence--Try not to forget me in this rp, you two. x_x]

((Niell asked me to post for him *mutters angrily*. He says he hasn't read Alassea's bio O.o ))

[ Well hello, Nessa. o_o Nice of you to jump into this little rp, however--I did ask Niell if he read my bio, not you. However you're welcome to read it as well. o_O]

[ Ah. Scratch that last post then.]

((Ya uh, sry about that Nessa ^^; thanks for posting for me, and I swear the similarity was totally unintentional Annwyn. I hadn't read your bio till just now.))

(@_@ talking... haha)

Tahlavain's blade glimmered as she looked at the dark blade. The elder's looked towards it as well but Tahlavain glanced back, giving them a look as though to say, 'I'll handle it'

She rushed forward, swing low and to the right, angling down to catch his side. Turning around a full turn, she was behind him, and continued the swing of her sword, attempting to catch a slice to his back.

Niell flinched as he felt the blade break his skin. Next he felt a warm trickle run down his back, though he had made no move to avoid it. He turned around to face his opponent. He looked at her for a moment, then in a flash he lashed out with one of his daggers, aiming for her midsection.

Tahlavain misjudged the aim, and ducked, the blade cutting into her shoulder. She backed of with a sharp intake of breath and glanced at the blood running down her arm. Her icy blue eyes lightened as she narrowed them, and she raised Corasar, the blade of which shone, even though the sun had sunk behind a cloud. This was going on far longer than she had expected. He was good, but she knew she could be better. Rushing towards him again, she slashed towards his neck, then thrust her dagger towards his leg.
