"Understood, Kujo," Silas replied, bowing slightly to the large man. He jumped up and down while shaking out his arms, getting warmed up for the sparring match. "Just try not to hurt the blade, Akkina. It was a gift from my teachers." Silas grinned wolfishly as he settled into a standing stance, his sword held close to his body as he turned sideways. "Whenever you're ready, you have the first move!"

@WittyWolf
Akkina gripped the sword tightly in her left hand and then moved her legs apart to get in a comfortable but vigilante and wary stance, she tensed up her body and looked at Silas for any sign of weakness in his stature, she smirked a little and then started going through all the possible counter attacks, She could possibly think of in this sparring match.

She gripped the sword and felt it was very light, she thought about the toughness of the sword and looked down momentarily at the sword, and seen it's shine and seen it's metal, she was very sure it was a very strong metal after quickly inspecting the blade. " Hey Silas, there is a very good reason to why people call me The Black Star... Because I leave them all dazed" She then quickly moved towards him, lifting the blade up and then laughed and then swung the sword towards the left side part of his body.

Silas merely spinned to the left, blocking the well-aimed blow with both hands, the blade flat against his spare hand, then jumped behind her momentum aiming for her back. The swordsman was feeling a little cheated with such a high name. Maybe she was testing him? He had no such title, but the man had trained with the powerful elves, learning their arts of the arcane. Murmuring a small chant, his feet felt lighter. It was a small boost to one's speed. Maybe now she would stop toying with him?

Akkina saw that Silas had dodged her attack and now was behind her, attempting to strike her back, She jumped away from the sword to move out of its reach, She then turned to face him then ran towards him striking towards the right as a fake manoeuvre and then raised her sword hand above her head and brought it downu in an attempt to strike him, and then raised her fist and thrust it forward to his face in order to strike him in the face. That was two attacks she had done, But she had a reserve attack waiting for him if he dodged or blocked them both.

Silas knocked back the downwards slash with a left to right slash of his own, gaining power and speed as he spun his body. He grabbed her striking hand's wrist in his left hand as he maneuvered, extending out his arm then pulling his shoulder into his own center of gravity and using his elbow as a lever to throw off her balance. As she was pulled towards the ground, he stopped his spin and stepped in between her feet. In this moment, Silas brought his sword close to his own body, arm held at an angle as he thrust upwards towards her exposed ribs. He pulled down on the captured wrist for increased effect.

Akkina smiled at Silas sweetly and looked at the sword pointed to her ribs, Akkina then put her left hand on the sword that Silas was holding after dropping the sword that she had in her hand and she attempted to push away from her, "By the almighty power of Roland and the blessed virgin Mary, Grant me the power to hold Durandal" She took her left hand off the sword in an attempt to catch Durandal, as it appeared. If he foiled that plan then she'd forfeit.

Silas grinned at her tenacity, but without the threat of the scimitar and her pressure, he pulled back his blade and jumped at the same time. As they both fell to the ground because of Akkina's position and his body weight, he hooked his knees just above her elbow joint, locked his ankles, and threw his legs back while pulling his torso forward. This move was designed to give Silas the advantage by throwing his opponent onto their back while he knelt above, immobilizing the captured arm and leaving a large area open to attack. If the move held and wasn't broken, he'd be across her body, one hand still holding onto her wrist, sitting on her other arm, and his right sword hand free to strike her abdomen or legs.

Akkina smirked at Silas, and then frowned as Durandal hit the ground with a loud clank, She struggled against the move and then closed her eyes momentarily and then loosened her body, and sighed, She couldn't think of a way to escape from Silas's counter attack. But she gave one last effort to get out of it, She shouted in anger and then finally realized that she was beat "I Forfeit." She lightly whispered.

Winner:
Silas (@WittyWolf)
