Karla vs. Raven (Sword Round 1)

[swordprincess]

[OOC: Karla will win this match, pre-determined.]

[Karla entered the tournament for one reason, and one reason only. It was the event where the strongest warriors would gather. And wherever there were strong warriors, she would surely find her brother. Or at least she hoped so. She had relied on this same logic every time she entered the arenas in Elibe, only to be met with disappointment every time. The fighters just weren't strong enough. If they were no match for her, they were certainly no match for Karel.]

[But the warriors in Luceti had abilities that would surely satisfy the most insatiable battle lust. If Karel was in Luceti, this competition would surely catch his attention. No doubt he would be in the final round, and most likely he would win the whole thing. (But that's just Karla's own bias talking.)]

[Karla inhales deeply as she steps into the arena. She needs to focus on her own battles first. The rules here are different from what she's used to. The use of a "points" system is new to her. So there would be no "one-hit KO and vanish" act that she's been known for. Thus she would need to hold back, and carefully.]

[The only reason Raven put her name into this hat is because she can't ignore a competition. It's almost like a festival, a weapons festival, and the goal is to win without actually getting hurt.

Raven steps into the fighting ring, sword already in hand, but loose, casual. She clearly isn't in position to fight yet. She doesn't recognize her opponent apart from some visits to the smithy - where she rarely speaks to anyone, anyway - but Karla looks...fragile. Poised, and ready, but fragile. Maybe.]

[swordprincess]

[Karla catches the first glimpse of her first opponent, and...it's a girl? Karla didn't expect that. The girl looks young, kind of adorable, even.]

[But appearances can be deceiving, as Karla herself has proven countless times back home. For all she knew, this girl's skills could be as sharp as her own.]

[With that mental note in mind, Karla calmly draws her sword, bringing it down to her side. She plants her feet on the ground, her right foot forward. She looks relaxed, but she's ready to move.]

[Raven, in turn, raises her sword, almost defensive, feet far enough apart to brace herself. She tilts her head to the side as if to say, "Your move"; Raven isn't one for unnecessary words.]
