[Duel] Imanti Vs. Eublepharis

[SpuddyZombie]

Imanti approached the open clearing, she was anxious to get this duel done and be part of the pride, to belong. This was the moment she's been waiting for, she needed to prove herself. She'd hope her mom's fighting lessons were enough. Or was it?

Mom was always a good fighter, she taught me well. I hope her teachings will be enough for this fight. Imanti thought to herself, contemplating if her mom's fighting skills were enough for her to join. She shook those thoughts. It didn't matter now, she was here and if she needed to, she can learn to fight better.

She glanced around, looking to see which lion was going to be her opponent. Imanti then took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She needed to stay focus, usually calm, but today she was just nervous to finally show her worth. She wasn't going to be alone anymore.

Imanti glanced up, seeing the male standing in front of her. She thought he was quite a handsome male, looked quite strong as well. She hadn't seen him around the pride, he was a new face to her, a pleasant one at that. But she didn't have time to admire him.

She nodded at the male. "Yes, I'm ready."

Imanti crouched low, preparing her body for a pounce. Once she built up momentum, she leaped in the air and jumped toward the male, opening her mouth to try to grab a hold of his body with her mouth.

Imanti braces his hit, she tights her teeth at the pain from the swipe and moved back to the ground on her four feet. His attack stung at her side, she had to push on and ignore the pain.

I'll have to try another attack, that one didn't stick. Maybe one with more force. Imanti thought.

She brought herself closer to him, pushed off with her hind legs and tried to swing at his shoulder again, but this time with her right paw. She swiped at his shoulder, hoping to get a hit.

Imanti fell on her side from his trip. She grunted, pulled herself back up again on all fours and looked back at the male. She smiled slightly, and shook her fur to shake off the dirt clung to it.

"That was a good duel, you're a good fighter." she said. "That was my first fight in a long time, though I've never had to fight many. Only if I had to."

Her eyes drifted down to her paws as she couldn't help notice some dirt still clung to her fur. She began licking some of it off to clean herself from her unexpected dirt bath.

She stopped her grooming herself and looked back up at him, giving a small grin.

"Eublepharis, huh? That's a very nice name. Mine is Imanti. " she said. "Though, I still think you're pretty good. You think of tactics on how to knock an opponent down. Being a good fighter is not always about brute. Takes some skill and brains too." she replied.

Imanti looked at Eublpharis again, seeing the dirt in his mane. She giggled a bit, then replied "I will defiantly practice a bit though. I want to make sure I can protect this pride, and hopefully my future family."

Imanti smiled and blushed slightly. "Of course," she responded demurely. She lifted herself up and lightly flicked her tail behind her, a last minute dusting from the previous event.
