think I made my point so I got up and started to walk to Chax a grin on my face. I really expected him to at least show some sort of emotion, he just stood there looking at me. The next thing I picked up movement behind me with my wing’s sensors. I turned just in time to see a huge wolf slam into me once again.
Crap, what do I need to do to keep her down? Again, I used my hands to keep her mouth away from me. Her snout snapping like a rabies infested dog in my face, drool dropping on my cheek; oh this is so gross. I tried to move my arms in to get her off but couldn’t .
“Concentration,” Chax said, and then my brain clicked in. Okay the cave thing, I need to concentrate. I closed my eyes and focused on the space behind her, and wouldn’t you believe it, I shifted out from under her.
Now standing behind her I looked at her, confused over the empty space in front of her. I grabbed her by the shoulders, digging in my nails, and using my wings I lifted up and flipped over her. Taking her from a bent down position to her feet, I threw her over me. She flew through the air and landed on the ground with a force, she skidded all the way to someone’s feet, and then stopped dead.
But I learned lesson two today, never turn your back on your opponent. So I walked over to her, bent down and picked up her head, looking her in the eye. I had my fist ready on the other arm, just in case she did a “pop goes the weasel” move on me. Yip, she was really lights out, not even a stir. But still I stood up and just looked at her, my sight catching the pair of feet of the person she skidded to. I looked up and found Seth looking at me with a huge smile.
“Well done Kas,” he said, and Nanini started jumping up and down next to him .
“You so kicked her hairy butt!” she yelled, delighted at the whole thing. Smiling, I looked down at Nina who now lay in her normal form, her Custos came to stand next to me. Without a word he picked her up and walked off. I kept my eyes on them and then turned to Chax, who was smiling at me. Proud of me perhaps? Yeah, a girl can dream.
“Come, your next opponent waits,” he demanded, and walked by me. I followed him with my eyes as he went to stand next to Seth, who was also still smiling at me. Then my brain kicked in again. Oh hell no, not Nanini. There is no way in hell I’m hurting her like that .
“No,” I said, shaking my head and turning around, changing back to normal .
“Is there a problem, Kasadya?” Chax asked after me.
“Yes, there is no way in hell I’m hurting her like that, so no,” I replied, turning around to face him.
“Kas, I promise you that Nanini would be able to handle a sparring with you,” Seth said, still smiling.
“I said no, pick someone else.”
“There is no one else, Kasadya, now stop wasting time and fall in,” Chax commanded, his pissed off face back on.
“No,” I said again, making a stand against him and Seth on this one.
“It’s okay, Kas. I can handle it,” Nanini reassured me, jumping on the spot. I just looked at her. She was so small and petite, no way in hell I could do it. I turned around to walk away from this.
“Remember what I said; if you can’t survive here, you die out there. Will you leave Nanini to such a fate?” Chax asked, and had me stopping on the spot. “If she can’t handle you here, she will die out there,” he went on, and at that I turned around and looked at them, my heart torn. I know she needs the experience, but how can I hurt her?
“This will be good for her,” Seth said, his smile gone and replaced by sympathy. Drawing in a breath, I walked back to them, my head held down.
“Fine, I’ll spar but no rough stuff; the others can hurt her but I won’t.”
So I walked over to stand off against her. On the other side she turned pink and started jumping on the spot . “This is going to be so fun,” she said, delighted. I don’t think so , I thought, still pissed at Chax and Seth for doing this.
