Bring on the Next Contestant

OOC: :) I love you! Lol...I really doo...

After having won her bout with Aisling and moving to the rank of third within the pack, Vlarindara had waited a short time before she chose to make her move for the position of Second - where she rightfully belonged. The white female woke early.. earlier than even the dawn and got to her feet before shaking her pelt free of dust and dirt. Originally.. she had intended to speak with Borden and Jaysyek...explain her intentions to return to her former position - but she knew that for now, she had to do this on her own.. this had to be done without favor.

The white lady padded to the edge of the cleared space surrounding the den where she sat, watching as the mist sprung up around them.. a mist that was a blanket of security for the large female. As the sun rose, she turned to face the pack den and waited, simply settled quietly where she could see those leaving the den. It would be when Elettra made an appearance that would bring the she-wolf to her feet where she could go towards the onyx pelted female. Vlarindara respected the other wolf.. and knew that simply calling her out wouldn't do. "Elettra. I wish to speak with you..." Despite her polite words.. there was a harsher tone to them..a slightly dangerous edge.

The words were an echo to her hears, bellowing down the den until she stirred from her rest. The words held a dominant tone, though Elettra was unshaken by such a display. She would not object the woman. She was a wild and dangerous creature, always striving for the top and always very much willing to prove that she belonged there. She loved a good spar (which she had been lacking as of late) and enjoyed even more so a challenge. Elettra Archer could only assume upon the white woman's return, this day would come. With a heavy sigh of her plush chest, her head leveled with her spine, did she ease from the den to greet the woman in wait. "Yes, Vlarindara?" She speaks, awaiting the woman's word. A pale gaze is hard upon her, watching the every move in what seemed like a tense woman, eager and waiting. She had a much more rugged appearance now, with the scars upon her face from battle with Kiche and the newest of wounds from Aisling. She had not bothered to come to Elettra for treatment of any kind and that could possibly be her downfall today. Elettra would take each advantage she could of the woman, with an air of manipulation, swiftness over her large size, and intimidating prowess.

The wolf got to her feet when Elettra made her appearance, amber eyes shifting to meet the other females without pause. "How about we take this away from the den and the pups.." Vlarindara had shifted once she saw the dark pelted wolf, her curled tail shifting, arching slightly over her back. She wished to get their... future tousle away from the den and keep the continuously adventurous pups out of the danger zone. If the bout with Aisling was any indication.. she may have to resort to such violence with Elettra as well. It was true her shoulder stung - but the wolfs pride had kept her from seeking the help of their pack healer... As she was going to challenge the female.

Vlarindara took a few steps backwards and to the side, allowing Elettra the space to walk away from the den, but she refused to give the other wolf her back.. or turn around and simply walk away.

An ear would flicker forward before once more falling back to meet the other at the base of her skull as she spoke. The lady taking to side-step away from the opening of the den where luckily for Vlarindara, she decided to rest for the time being, granted the need for an extra eye on so many children. Usually, Elettra spent her time within her own den in the medic center, where Vlarindara would have been met with no one here but broken pride and pent up energy. Viewing the woman's tail, rising to arch at her backside, Elettra's lip curled into a snarl of warning, her own tail rising out behind her. Although she had mean to challenge her (as it was more then obvious now) her disrespect to the woman who was still, for the moment, higher in rank then her was intolerable- disrespectful. Elettra would have to question her well judgement on the woman who for the moment, was out of her place. Elettra had no means to back down- she never would. The noble had earned her placement rightfully in the pack, for whilst Vlarindara decided to abandon the pack for whatever reason, it was Elettra who was there, protecting the newborn children, feeding their mother. Hackles high, her skull would align with her spine, jaws parting to further protect her neck and head inching back to collect rolls of fat at her nape. Her limbs would shift outwardly slightly, bending at the knees to help balance herself forward, toes stretching to hold still her placement to the ground. Her back-end would lower slightly more should she the need to spring up into action. Pale gaze narrowed upon her target in wait.

OOC: Let the games begin. ;D

Vlarindara, seeing that Elettra intended to handle this here growled in the back of her throat, answering the warning snarl from the Onyx second of Grizzly Hollow. The white female shifted, her plumed and oddly feathery tail curling tighter over her back, the appendage seeming to be some kind of pom-pom of sorts. Her head lowered, over-large ears flicking forwards, pointing directly towards the other female, her amber eyes not drawing away from Elettras - nor was she blinking. Long legs spread themselves more evenly, black claws biting into the leaves of the forest floor at her feet, the wind ruffling her longer fur gently.

The scar across her nose looked even more grotesque as she wrinkled her lips to bare shiny opalescent fangs. Her amber eyes, still maintaining contact with Elettras narrowed, her head shifting until she took protection from the fur around her neck.. Fur that was sticking out in all directions around her neck and shoulders and along her spine..all the way to the base of her tail. "Stand. Down. Elettra." Came a snarled but growling command from the ex-second, having chosen to do her best to just get this over with without endangering any of the pack. A snarling snap accompanied her command, jaws parting slightly, displaying both fangs and curled tongue.

She would not go easy, unshaken by the simple demand to stand down. She would snarl in response but nothing more. Fighting was her only instinct from which she came, where bleeding for your rights had been the only way to go where intimidation only worked against the weak minded and youth. Elettra Archer had trained all her life for moments like these, which would be her greatest advantage.

For a moment she would allow Vlarindara to think she had won this so easily, but her tail falling from her high stand to tuck delicately between her legs. Perhaps she would take it as a sign of submission (to catch her off guard) when really it was only to both help protect her tail from being yanked and to help aid in protection of her lower belly. Without warning would she charge, lower to the ground only by the obvious small height difference which she would take into account just as well. Neck once level with her spine would lower further more towards the ground as she came head-on towards the woman (making it difficult to ever reach her next from such a low placement) in her charge. Jaws would aim to clamp down upon her left ankle/paw but this was only a feinting attack. Should Vlarindara reach her head down for retaliation, she would instantly turn up her jaws to push up Vlar's muzzle from under her chin (with her own nose) and strike out towards the (now exposed) throat.

Move one in rank challenge

OOC: SHTUFF!

Elletra's charge only stiffened the females limbs, her snarl ripping from her mouth as the dark pelted female made the first move. As Elettras teeth snapped towards her left ankle, Vlarindara pulled both legs upwards and back, almost as if she were going to pounce on the other... Which brought Elettras second attack, the snap towards where her neck might have been had she lowered her head to bite... but instead, the onyx second may find her jaws closing around the white females front left leg about halfway up. Vlarindara snapped her own powerful jaws towards Elettra's head, going for the others right ear, or side of her cheek..

The she-wolfs balance was precarious, and as she tried to bite down on Elettra, her front right paw landed on the ground, the ex-second attempting to use her bulk to force the black female to her back..perhaps get her to give in with little injury. As it were, her left leg was burning with the pain from the other wolfs bite.. but she had to ignore it..if she was going to win.. to regain her rank.

In the very moments where the white woman lifted from the ground (and thus sacrificing her balance on two back limbs) did Elettra push for retaliation. Her jaws would miss her intended target, though with them wrapped around her upper limb, her jaws would seize a stronger hold upon the radius bone which lay near, to crush down upon it and leave the limb of little use (at least for the time being). Whilst the woman was up (one limb in her mouth and the other reaching for the ground) did Elettra use her balance to her own advantage, shoving her shoulders forward to slam her upper body (shoulders, skull, back of the neck) into her opponent in hopes (since she was already lifted) to knock her back in order for her to slam back-first into the ground. But it would not go without consequence. Her entire force was being shoved into the slam just as Vlar would strike back (and because of her movement forward) causing two slices (from her canines) of flesh to rip from her skull. White lips pulled still back, a wretched snarl would growl from her throat from the very pain of it. Still, she kept her defenses solid- her ears back, pale gaze narrowed and her neck scrunched for protection at her neck.

Move two in rank challenge

[ since vlar is going to be leaving the pack (and perhaps taking raigo with her) can we just call this an end and say elettra won? ]
