[b]And so, in the distance a chariot rode across the horizon.
Upon it was Iskandar, the king of conquerors and has he apprcahed, the carriage disappeared and he free fell to the ground, landing on his two feet and kicking up a large dust cloud.
He emerged from the cloud, unscathed by the fall, and stopped a dozen feet away.[/b]
"You know who i am, First Blade. Than you will know my terms. A fight to the death. Without magic."
[spoiler]You have permission to kill Iskandar.[/spoiler]

"At least you have some honor." [i]Luana calmly muttered, before she allowed her hand to waver away from the grip of her sword. She only did so, so she could bow towards her challenger, dipping her head towards his figurine before she rose up.[/i] "I await your action, Iskandar."
-
[b]He drew his sword, pointing it towards the sun and laughing jovially[/b] "This shall be a battle of ages!" [b]He dashes forward, or well did the equivalent as he clambered forward, swinging his blade down upon her [/b]
-
[i]Luana remained silent, as she suddenly charged towards her challenger - it could've been her final battle, but she didn't care: for underneath her faceplate was a grin of utmost enjoyment. She had almost felt as if she would cry - for she had been granted the honor of battling a prized warrior.[/i] ------------------------ "Hya!" [i]She yelled, before swinging horizontally with her katana, as the blade flew towards the hilt of Iskandar's weapon. Her parry managed to bounce the weapon back, as she pulled her katana back and strafed to his immediate right. She spun and struck his ankle, before backing away and twirling her katana evermore.[/i]
-
[b]He laughed, shaking his leg off[/b] "A quick one. In another life, you would have been my lover!" [b]He laughed again, swinging towards her horizontally[/b]
-
"Your lover? You'd wish." [i]She replied jokingly, before ducking underneath the horizontal slash and slashing at Iskandar's right leg once more. Luana was open then - she could still block, but Iskandar could attack.[/i]
-
[b]He decided against it, strafing past her as he shook his leg once more. [/b] "You fight well, but leave yourself open to attacks."
-
"...The talkative type, I see. Either you're distracting me, or..." [i]Luana muttered, as she carefully circled around Iskandar. A bead of sweat formed upon her forehead - the heat from the sun and her actions had begun their work upon her body.[/i]
-
"I am the King of Conquerors. I speak to the kings of lands before I defeat them." [b]He followed her movements[/b]
-
Edited by Orn: 3/8/2017 1:57:16 AM"...I am no king nor ruler, Conquerer. Yet...I am your enemy." [i]Luana said this with a faint sorrow in her voice, as she bounded backwards and yelled:[/i] [i]"Jinjyo ni shoubu - let's have an honorable showdown!"[/i] [i]She suddenly lunged forwards, swinging towards Iskandar's neck suddenly.[/i]
-
[b]He deflected the blade, bumping into her with his shoulder in an almost tackle way[/b]
-
[i]Luana slide back, looking as if she would trip before she actually did, due to Iskandar's height and strength. She rolled away, letting out a sigh of slight tiredness as she continued to circle.[/i]
-
[b]He lunged at her this time, stabbing towards her with a fierce strength[/b]
-
[i]Once more, Luana strafed and spun to Iskandar's right, slashing at his right heel. Her main intention was clearly hitting an artery or incapacitating the warrior, as she figured that she couldn't defeat him physically.[/i]
-
[b]He spun around, striking her head with the back of his hand and effectively back handing her[/b]
-
[i]The backhand didn't harm Luana too much, although it did make her stumble back. She regained her composure, twirling her katana before preparing herself once more. [/i]
-
[b]Iskandar shook his leg, which was actually bleeding. Not heavily quite yet, but at least she knew she had hit something [/b]
-
[i]For a moment, Luana looked at the flowing blood with an almost pitiful look, before she sighed and beckoned Iskandar towards her. Clearly, she wanted to get the battle over with, but she was concerned about the leg.[/i]
-
[b]He moved forward towards her, than feinted a slash downward[/b]
-
[i]Luana decided to counter it with a horizontal slash, but both realized that it was a feint - that, and that her blade was flying towards Iskandar's wrist. [/i]
-
[b]Seeing this, he dodged to the side and spun past her, getting behind her back.[/b]
-
[i]Luana suddenly spun around, gripping her sword with both hands as she suddenly sent a swing towards Iskandar's right thigh.[/i]
-
[b]As she swung towards him, he took the hit, but took the opportunity to stab towards her with his blade[/b]
-
[i]Luana gritted her teeth as the sword entered her shoulder, before she suddenly tore out her own blade in such a vicious manner that it may have hit the bone. She backed away, as blood began to pour from her own wound.[/i]
-
[b]Iskandar grunted, and shook it off. Even with the blood coursing down his by thigh and splattering.[/b]
-
"Damn...tougher than I expected." [i]Luana muttered, but not in a negative fashion - in fact, she was almost gleeful about Iskandar's resistance.[/i] "I like that. C'mon, old man - show me what else you got." [i]The samurai twirled her blade, awaiting Iskandar's next move.[/i]
