b>Iju vs Sirius</b>

Iju came walking, jumping, hopping, skipping in and immediatly went for the refugee. Dramatically he started speaking: "Good sir, me and my friend would like to battle each other in this arena!"

Sirius slowly walked into the arena and wqalked towards the referee, "My friend and I would like to start a battle here soon, as I'm sure you've already heard."

"Oh.. ok then" replied Emmet, who had been hoping to be able to get out of the Skarradian Arena. With a sigh, he walked to the center of the Arena. "You guys ready? Begin!!"

Battle has started!
The turns and positions are as following -
Iju - L11
Sirius - L12

Iju's turn! -
Iju drew his Epee and leaped forward gracefully, aiming to pierce it into Sirius' stomach. "Aha, I shall have your blood!"

Iju ran towards Sirius full speed with his blade at the ready, however his enemy was too far away fro him to attack before Sirius could make his move!

Sirius's turn!

Sirius pulled out two Throwing axes and hurled them directly at Iju, one for his neck and one for his left knee.

Iju flowed along with his attack, trying to step out of harm's way.

Sirus tries to hurl too axes at the same time, but he doesn't know how, the first axe swiftly flew towards Iju, sticking on his thigh with a loud thump and dealing 4 damage! As Sirius tried to hurl the second axe, he just threw it behind himself accidentally.

Iju's turn! -
"Auch!" Iju called out, quickly restoring himself with a: "You shall pay for this, my blood shall be avenged!"
And he stabbed his blade once more at Sirius, aiming for the neck.

Sirius watched as the fencer tried to thrust his blade at him, quickly bringing up his hand axe to deflect the blow, thinking that the fencers blow may not reach him. at such a distance.

Sirius quickly pulled out his handaxe as Iju dashed towards him, using the space between the underside of the blade and the handle to trap and deflect Iju's sword!

Sirius's turn! -
Sirius quickly turn with his handaxe extended with intent to hit Iju in the back as he tripped by in hopes that while trapping the sword that the fencer had began to stumble.

Iju, as a fencer, was quite used to his blade being pushed away, and kept his attention with the axe. Gracefully he tried to dodge to the side.

Sirius hacked away mercilessly as Iju tried to back down, unfortunately for the Fencer, the axe managed to cut his right arm, dealing 2 damage!

Iju's turn! -
Iju ignoring the cut in his arm and hoped he'd catch Sirius of guard now his momentum was offensive rather than defensive, so Iju tried to pierce his epee into Sirius' ribcage.

Sirius noticed as the fencer was striking at him and noticing he was slightly off balance, he continued on with his spinning motion, trying to side step the blow while trying to strike the fencer with the blunt side of the axe and knock him off balance. All the mean time, hoping that the fencer's arm was weakened by the gash that was just dealt to it.

Slowed down by his armor, the spinning Sirius was a sitting duck for Iju, with a grin, the fencer just stuck his epee in Sirius's gut, dealing 8 damage!

Sirius's turn! -

Sirius, feeling the burning sting in his gut, he decides to try to end the battle now, striking out with his handaxe once more towards the fencer, aiming for an arm or the fencers shull more than anything, but hoping to land a blow anywhere on the fencer.

Iju put al his effort into this dodge, using Lighting Speed to get away from the chopping axe.

With his lightning speed activated, Iju became but a blur on Sirius's eyes, reapprearing behind the warrior an instant later!

Iju's turn! -
Iju hoped his position behind the warrior would be an advantage to him, and aimed his epee at the position of Sirius' heart, trusting it forward.

Sirius quickly wheeled around, with handaxe in hand, and tried to use the axe to bash away the fencer's blade, if only to save his life.

Sirius bashed away Iju's blade with the side of his axe, pushing it upwards towards so it would strike his armore barbut instead of his body!

Sirius's turn! -

Sirius wheels his axe around after deflecting the blade, aiming for the fencers side.

Seeing the blade coming from the side, Iju jumped back, hoping the axe would miss and Sirius would loose his balance somewhat, so that Iju would have an easier time parrying him.

Sirius was too much for Iju this time around, as he jumped back he was struck in the side by the warrior's axe, taking 7 damage!

Battle has ended!
Sirius wins!
Sirius receives 175 XP!

"Congratulations!" said Emmet lazily walking towards Sirius, "unfortunately he didn't have any gold on him, but you can choose one of his items."

"I think I would like that blood necklace he has upon him," said Sirius as he walks over to Iju's body and knelt beside him and whispered, "Good fight, my friend."

"Blood necklace it is then, if you would step back please." continued Emmet after Sirius retrieved the item. "HEAL!" he shouted, casting a powerful healing spell on Iju.

Sirius stood up and quickly reared away from the body so as not to be blinded by the light that shot from the referee's hand.

Iju opened his eyes, and crawled up. "Auch, I feel like I've been chopped into tiny bits and stiched together."
Then, seeing all the blood, Sirius' bloody axe, and his blood necklace missing, his mind was filled with a clear thought and he muttered: "Ow"
"Well, that was a good fight. Too bad I lost. I guess I shall go now and try to win something. After all, a man's got to earn back his loses. Good fight chap, and good luck."
Ije gave them both a polite bow, and walked away to the grounds, seemingly full of hope. In any case he was delightfully checking his body for combat scars he could brag about.

Sirius walked out of the arena with a smile across his face.
