A section closed off for Sparing, mostly used for those who are well experienced in the field. This ring is also used to reach the newbies who claim to know it all, a lesson in combat.

Stepping into the light of day, the rays from the suns aura seemed to shine over the sparring ring with anticipation. Stepping onto the field with a wave to some of her fellow comrades, Vitani felt the need to kick some butt. Cracking her knuckles and holding up her hand as to signal she challenged the winner for the next morning battle, the white haired skilled archer aimed to grow stronger. Her weapon techniques seemed flawless, her punches however were more so average. Wanting to always improve, Vitani found herself visiting this ring almost every day, winning was not always the way, but being a sore loser, she aimed to forget. Getting better and learning the strategies of a lot of her opponents, she only smiled as the battle before her seemed to be almost over.
Watching the humans battle and noticing the one buff soldier finding himself warring down thin, it was only a matter of time. The clock ticked and with each passing moment, her aqua eyes watched with adrenaline and built up nerves. Oh how she wanted to be the one in there, drop kicking the winner with a grin plastered over her cocky over confident face. In moments, her time would come, and the crowd slowly forming would see her skills were improving! IF not, she was sure to make them see, surely she was better then these losers anyway, or so she told herself.

Vitani soon felt an awkward tap on her shoulder. Behind her was one of the tall and lanky guards who she'd seen faintly around the base.
When she turned, he gave a strange smile and a short wave. He didn't have much muscle by the look of it. "Uh -- he-hey there! You uh -- wana, like, fight?" He asks, giving small and quick boxing-esq punches in the air.

Turning around from the ending scene facing her, Vitani tried despite her normal behavior to laugh at his comment. Instead, a small smile spread to her lips, a chuckle non the less leaving her body with a roll to her aqua colored eyes. Double looking this guard with a shake of her head, she asked herself if it was even worth it.
Deciding to let him down easily, she bites her lip to hold from laughing again. "Are you serious? Look, I really was looking more for a challenge. Not a chance to show off to some... string bean, no offense? I mean, its your funeral." The dark skinned warrior turned back to the now empty sparring field, her questioning eyes looking around for another challenger. Not thinking she was going to get many chances to kick butt today, the over confident female warrior shrugged to the lanky awkward guy near her. "Up to you."

The lanky fellow didn't take too kindly to her reaction. He clenched his teeth and fists so hard that she could hear the leather of his gloves straining. He shoves past her and indicates across the field to one of the more larger guards; his name was Berk.
"Hey Berk! Did you get to fight yet today?" He calls out, completely ditching Vitani and having some more confidence now that he's got some anger in him.
Berk simply shrugs and shakes his head. "Then c'mon!" the lanky guard signaled for him to approach, which he did.
Berk was slightly taller than the other one, and at least four times stronger. The two got into battle positions.

Appalled by this soldier's actions, Vitani's scowl could be seen from the base camp as her feet moved. Approaching the ring and shouting out in a frustrating tone, the white haired woman's attitude clearly stated she was beyond pissed off now. Did he not deem her a challenge or was he merely just scared? That had to be it. Trying to pull things to her advantage, her voice quickly changed to sarcastic and rude as she laughed.
"Berk!? Seriously him? Your afraid to fight me but you'll take on this loser? Boo!" She was mocking him with her words in hopes that he'd get the message. While her inner smaller self conscious questioned if she was being mature, the other half of her was all for it. Deciding to go from there, she nudged the guard next to her with a smirk. "Is this guy for real?"

None of the other guards seemed to be enjoying the odd sight as much as Vitani has. The guard next to her gave a small shrug with crossed arms and muttered; "Magic users freak me out... and foreign ones too..."
The lanky guard had some weird fighting stance too; with one hand held in front of the other, and his stance looked like one a sumo-wrestler would have. Berk just had his fists up and bounced a bit, getting pumped up.
It was Berk who made the first move, charging with a loud yell and his fist in the air. He wasn't graceful, but it looked like he could pack one Tartarus of a punch. The lanky guard remained still until Berk got close and threw his punch at the lanky guard.
The lanky guard pivoted to the side and grabbed Berk's punching arm with his hand. He tucked his other hand into a strap of Berk's chest armor and somehow flipped Berk onto his back.
Dust was kicked up and nobody said a word. The lanky guard stood up straight and ran a hand through his short, black hair, shooting off an annoyed glare to Vitani.
Berk let out a cough; landing flat on his back must have knocked the wind out of him. His cough soon turned to a chuckle as he outstretched a hand. The lanky guard grabbed the hand and helped him up, the two seemed to have some sort of bond as Berk muttered something and patted the lanky guard on the back.

Watching the fight with mixed feelings, Vitani studied the stronger opponents moves. Narrowing her eyes and completely shocked towards the end results, her facial expression wore ultimate confusion. Silencing her mouth as if underestimating the lanky soldier before her, her aqua green eyes spoke differently as she judged with the stench of a set up. Huffing and walking away, her left hand had raised in front of her vision, clenching it as she watched her veins work from within their limits.
Still wanting to prove she was more then some defensive back up soldier, the strap once hung from her chest was dropped to the ground. Quickly and instantly, a bow with a pointed arrow was being aimed towards the lanky soldier as a smirk spread to her face. Being her specialty, her fingers left the strings before a word was let out. Not aiming to harm however, Vitani only wished to send a message as the arrow rushed through the air with a mild whistle. Striking down and just barely missing his face, the arrow struck into the dirt after its scare.
"Don't think of me as some fool you can out smart. You're lucky we're on the same side, Id cream you." Placing her weapons back to strapping to her body, Vitani waved off as if she was going to train without him or their help. In reality she needed the practice, but her pride was against facing him now.

"Friendly fire!" A guard next to her shouts instantly after she looses an arrow at a fellow soldier. She isn't able to sheath her bow, as a soldier next to her rips it from her grasp forcefully, and puts a hand on her shoulder.
The lanky guard gasped and fell to the ground from the arrow, almost getting hit in the head from the arrow.
"You're seeing the captain, Now! " The guard holding her shoulder shouts at her, clearly furious at her actions and disregard for saftey.

Not expecting what her consequences would bring, Vitani winced at his words. Turning around to defend herself, her immediate response was pushed back from her mouth in order to save herself. "Oh come on, Look we don't need to bring this to him. I was just ... playing with him. He knows I wouldn't harm him! Cant you reconsider?"
Her nervous wording had the white haired women starting to grow more worried. The captain was sure one to fear when it came to fights around here, surely she didn't wish to be another. Taking in a deep breath, Vitani tried again. "Soldier, friendly fire is friendly. I swear I meant no harm. I'll spar him if that makes things easier."

"Friendly fire is friendly, hah! That's a new one." The guard holding her shoulder said, giving a genuine laugh.
The lanky guard soon stood up and batted his hands together to get the dust off of them.
"I'll spar her. Surely the humiliation would be enough punishment!" The lanky one shouts at them, doing the same dorky boxing gesture.
"Fine, whatever, but I'm keeping this." The guard holding her shoulder says before letting go and showing her his new bow. "And these." He adds, snatching all the arrows from the quiver.
"You could have shot his eye out, if the wind was strong." He grumbles before walking away.

Hearing the lanky soldier speak of humiliation, Vitani narrowed her eyes. Quickly changing from annoyed to thankful, her facial expression was sure to say that towards his way. Feeling her bow and arrows leave her side however had left the white haired warrior pissed beyond control. Whipping to face him, her legs moved forward as she reached out to grab him.
"Ex-cuse me! I believe those are mine. I expect to get them back after the fight. I did after all, PAY FOR THEM." Her tone was sure to show much anger as she stepped into the dirt ring shortly after. Taking a deep breath, she worked on collecting her focus as her eyes hunted around. "Lets get this over with"

The guard with her bow gives a small chuckle and walks away from the scene; keeping her bow & arrows.
"If you can't play with your toys respectfully, you can't keep them" He mutters, walking into the base.
Other guards watched with satisfied looks on their faces as the lanky guard got into the same fighting position. He gave her a stern, emotionless stare.
"You make the first move." He says, readying himself.

Clenching her fist at the rotten guard who took her weapons, Vitani decided to take out her extra anger into the fight. Taking a deep breath and exhaling to stay focused, her legs had begun to move before her mind caught up as she charged. Yelling with a small war cry and placing her fists up to swing, the flight fighter had gotten as close as she could to the lanky soldier. Reaching her limit and immediately jumping into the air, her arms cuffed into her legs as she ball flipped over the soldier within seconds. Landing with a swivel skid, her left foot moved swiftly towards a tripping maneuver.
"Hyah!" Letting out her frustration and not waiting to see if her trip worked, her open palm went towards the lanky soldiers chest as she exerted all of her energy into a single strike that could leave him winded.

He remained still and stoic as she charged and screamed. When she reached him, he got ready to teleport himself behind her -- however it seems she beat him to the chase.
When he pivoted to face her; she surprised him with a trip, which worked, and she immediately followed through with a finishing punch, which didn't. He landed on his rear, and had enough reflex to grab her charging arm and guide it to the ground next to him; forcing her to be almost face-to-face with him. He let out a tired smirk and looked her in the eyes for just a moment.
He then proceeded to punch her in the throat, hard.
