Roll 1 Haru = 3
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/Colche/soas/certs/haruadultcert.png) Haru was almost surprised at the outcome he saw before him, he could see the end in sight and he had most certainly faught hard to get to this point. He could have sworn that he could count every grain of sand that sifted between his toes his senses were so heightened. His mouth was dry, he hadn't been nervous in his previous battles and yet here he was every hair on his back tingling with the tension. Here he was, at the end. For a brief moment he took a breath, pulling in a deep, calming breath, his coal black eyes closed and as he opened them he greeted his opponent with a nod.
His muscles tenced and a swift breeze rustled his black streaked mane, unsheathing his claws for a split second and splaying his paws he found purchase in the sand and leapt, a loud challenging roar echoing from his lungs as he swiped a now sheathed paw out to catch his challenger around the maw before diving away. This was the end, the last battle and he must fight his hardest.

Move 1: Hit
Mat stood on the sands for the final time, her golden eyes shining bright against her dark pelt, a grin on her muzzle. This was it. This was the top. She had reached it by skill and grit, including one extra round of fighting that none of her last two opponents had had to do. Perhaps it was an advantage for them because they had gotten to rest, but to her it was just one more stepping stone to prove she was strong and more than ready to take on the title of General.
But there was still one more stone to step on, and he stood before her just as she before him. They were in each other's path and whoever won this battle would step over the other on their way to glory. Losing wasn't so bad, of course. There was still a high rank to be won in failing now. But Mat wasn't thinking about that - she had her eyes on the prize.
Haru moved first, which was fine with Mat. She dug her paws into the sand and sprang forward to meet him in the middle of the arena, her own powerful roar echoing his, meeting his challenge head on. Quite literally, as one red paw connected solidly with her head. Although she was momentarily knocked to the side, a smack like that wasn't about to put her down and out. She immediately turned, following Haru as he spun, and jumped on his back with a snarl. Had this been a fight she would have sunk her claws into him to hold on, but as this was still just a duel she kept them tucked in safely. That didn't stop her from letting her momentum send them both to the ground, though, and she pounced off of Haru once they finished sliding in the sand.

Haru roll 2 : Bide
The sheer momentum of her weight tossed himsideways and as he felt the sand slide over his shoulders he chuckled. Perhaps diving in head first was not the best option here. He had to start using his head. The blood red male stayed dormant for a moment as he allowed his mind to form a strategy, here was a soldier, a soldier who had won her way to the top, she wouldn';t have used just her muscle to do this, she had to have formed some strategy. She had to have used her head. He had done the same, he knew that but he also knew that soldiers often had the strength advantage.
Rolling to his paws he took a few steps backwards, clearing some room between himself and the black female. Mate'moto was going to be a force to be reckoned with which ever way this battle went, he wasn't going to give up so quickly though, he just needed a moment to think. Taking a deep breath he stood and waited for her to move, perhaps he could catch her off guard if she moved in, perhaps he could find her weak point in there some where? For the moment he could afford to wait, this match was the last but this was the start there were blows to be taken before it was over.
SilverLutz Don't be copying me now silv! I'm gunna start getting de-ja'vu

Move 2: Glancing blow Total: 5
Mat hopped away from Haru and turned, watching as he slowly rose from the ground. She wasn't sure if he had landed hard on his shoulder or was just taking his time, but after watching him shift to stand she knew he hadn't been hurt. Or if he had, he was very good at hiding his limping.
Not one to sit around, Mat shifted her weight to attack again. She had gone up against soldiers every round - or former soldiers, really - and this was her first time battling a guard. She knew they had very different styles of fighting, but she knew changing her tactics now wouldn't do her any favors. She had to stick to what she knew.
Shifting her weight at the last moment, Mat swiped at Haru and landed a hit. Not any that would leave a sting or an ache, but a hit all the same. She continued passed him, aiming to either scoot by any returning blow or only catch a glancing one.

Haru roll 3 : 2 - glancing hit Total : 6
Haru took the blow quite easily and four a moment he wondered if she had slipped, her initial attack had been so gung-ho. As she flew past him though he raised a paw and tapped her rear before backing away one more. Soldiers, he honestly wondered about them, they were so, angry and serious. He supposed that was where he fell down, he found it hard to be too serious even in this situation where he should have been stoic to a fault.
He smiled at the black female once again distancing himself, he had decided that ultimately avoidance was his best course of action, at least until he knew where her weaknesses lay. he just had to find one good moment and strike and this would finally all be over with. He still wondered if he had proved his worth by getting this far, he hoped he had, he hoped this wasn't the end yet, he hoped he could get to the goal, the light at the end of the tunnel.

Move 3: Miss Total: 6
Mat felt the swat on her rump and she growled at herself as she turned to face Haru once again, sliding in the sand just a bit as she dug in her claws. Although she had never faced a guard she knew their tactics were less head-on and more dip and dodge. It was the nature of things, of course. The pride was well-balanced in its roles and it took all types to be a successful group. Mat was learning a lot already in this battle, too. If she hoped to be General she had to know how guards worked, not just soldiers.
She approached a little slower this time, golden eyes intent on Haru, and just a few paces away she pounced again. She misjudged the distance, though, and her swing fell a little short, swiping through the air and nothing else.

Move 5: Bide Total: 11
Mat pounced away from Haru once he was on the ground, turning to ready herself for a final attack. Haru was slow to rise once again, though, and his coughed words send a shiver down her spine. He was done. She had won.
Pride and happiness filled her chest as she threw her head back in a triumphant roar, her insides burning so hot with delight that she was sure she could breathe fire in that moment. Finally she grinned at Haru, the first time for the whole match, and moved closer to him to help him to his paws once again.
"Not bad for a guard," she teased lightly, giving his shoulder a bump. "Ah, brigadier now I suppose, she corrected, giving him a wink. "Good fight, Haru. I'm looking forward to working with you." Generals and brigadiers worked paw in paw, after all. This wouldn't be the last time they saw one another.
Turning away from him Mat bounded out of the arena, laughing and prancing in delight. She had always been a impulsive lioness and, while she had gotten a hold of herself as she had grown, moments like this called for a celebration.
Syrius Lionwing Good battle! Took me three tries to beat him XD
