With a deep sigh, Dam'adhra felt the involuntary constriction of her lungs. It was as if her chest cavity was incapable of expanding, to allow air to fully fill her body. The air that did was dry, hot, and did nothing to satisfy her. Dam (pronounced "dom") felt her nerves were a light with activity, tingling through her legs but she felt a little numb at the same time. Another step forward, and another. She just kept counting her paces towards a figure in the distance. It was too far to discern their appearance, or even gender, just yet. A part of her secretly hoped it was a slower male. Dam's speed was usually her advantage.
Shaking her head, the lioness attempted to stop her running thoughts. It would only undue her. Instead, she thought back to Enitania. Her detailed words, description, even though she was so close to death. She was readily able to instruct her, one last time, to the land of lions that would continue to teach her in the ways that Enitania had begun long ago.
By now she'd attracted the lion's attention. Squaring her shoulders, the lioness walked with surety and confidence that her mentor instilled in her, but most of all... purpose.

1 = miss / failed attack 2 = bide / glancing attack 3 = a hit / successful attack
Dam'adhra could see now that she was approaching an lioness and her stomach sunk a little. This lioness looked large and fierce. Larger than any lioness Dam had fought before, at least... Her voice, though. The lioness she was coming to challenge had a rough voice that reminded her Enitania. The swell that grew in her belly was a reassurance that she was where she was supposed to be, doing what she was supposed to do.
Swallowing (a minimally as she could manage), the lioness fell into a battle stance. There was no need to exchange words... but to be honest, it was because Dam didn't trust the strength of her voice. With a nod, the lioness began creeping to the side, circling the female. Her eyes darted all over her opponent's body, attempting to catch the tense of the muscles that would trigger a lunge.
When the lioness didn't attack first, Dam's patience wavered. She lunged and struck out a paw, attempting to hit face of the lioness, her fangs barred and snarl coming from her throat in the rush of the moment.
Miss. Damnit. Not off to a good start...

Roll One: 1... Roll Two: 3... Roll Three: 1... Roll Four: 1... Roll Five: X. Total: 6
With a huff of agitation, she realized that she wasn't nearly as talented a fighter as she believed she was. Sure, she had plenty of ability to fight off those that would seek to steal from her, or the occasional rogue that thought she was an easy target. But this one on one combat with a young, talented lioness was a different thing. Her confidence wavered, and for what felt like the first time since it started, Dam'adhra felt fear. A dark, deep fear of losing and disappointing her dead mentor.
In the slack of her confidence, Dam's strike to the lioness' face was sloppy. It missed, not even close to connecting. Her stomach dropped, and she took a step back... but determined not to run, she resumed the battle stance.
She'd yet to say a word to her opponent.
