Payton walked through the forest with her hook swords in her hands. She wanted to practice her fighting before the next class.

Maleia had her eyes closed. She walked through the forest, with the Halberd case she made strapped too her back.

Payton noticed Maleia walking up behind her. "Hey," she greeted casually with a quick wave.

"Hm? Oh hey." she replied. I'll get you one day!

ooc: does maleia have grudge against payton or something?? 0.0

bic: "Did you come out here to practice too?" Payton asked, noticing the halberd strapped to Maleia's back.

Ooc: no she wants to finish the battle

"Yup," she said. Even though the holder was too heavy, Maleia tried too walk faster than Payton.

ooc: gosh, she's serious about this, huh? o.o

bic: "Well then, since we're both here, why don't you practice with me?" Payton offered.

"Sure," she said in a low voice.

Ooc: she holds a grudge for a long time.

Payton walked a few paces away and then turned to face Maleia. "Ready?" she asked, ripping her hook swords.

In reply, Maleia took out her Halberd, and threw her case to the floor.

"Whenever you're ready," Payton said, getting into a defensive position with her hook swords in front of her body and her knees slightly bent.

Maleia stood like a statue, waiting for the first move.

Since Maleia wasn't making any moves, Payton decided to go first. She dashed up to her, zig-zagging a little bit so that she would be a harder target. When she was close enough, Payton swung her right hook sword at the halberd's long handle, hoping to hook it into the curve of her blade.

Maleia looked straight, untill Payton was in front of her. She plunged it into the ground, so the sword hit the axe part. She then jumped on top of the axe, and aimed a kick at Payton's face.

Payton quickly jerked her head to the left in an attempt to dodge the kick, but Maleia's foot grazed her right cheek and ear anyway. Payton quickly recovered, however, and she lunged at Maleia with her right elbow sticking out in the hopes of knocking her off the halberd.

After Maleia was on the ground, she lay on the ground waiting for the next move.

Not allowing Maleia any time to get back on her feet, Payton quickly stepped in front of her halberd so Maleia couldn't try to make a grab for it. She held her left hook sword at an angle in front of her body in a defensive position and the right one she pointed at Maleia's neck, the blade barley two inches from her throat.

Maleia quickly kicked her right arm, keeping it into a the air. Maleia took her arm, and pulled Payton toward her. While over Maleia she kicked Payton's stomach, but her sword slashed her throat just a little.

Payton nearly got the wind knocked out of her when Maleia kicked her in the stomach. She quickly recovered though, not wasting anytime as she tackled Maleia, pinning her to the ground, trusting her strength to keep her immobilized.

Maleia quickly bit Payton's arm, waiting for the next move.

Payton let out a shrill cry and pulled her arm away out of instinct, releasing Maleia for a few moments.

Maleia jumped up, and took her Halberd. She swung the axe part at Payton.

Payton was knocked to the ground when Maleia stood up suddenly. She barely had enough time to react when the axe came swinging at her head. Payton presses herself to the ground so the blade went over her. She quickly swung her left hook sword at the handle beneath the blade, hooking it in the curve of her.

Payton's sword swung the Halberd out of her hand. Maleia took a wild step trying to hit her face.

Payton scrambled to dodge Maleia's foot, but she was too slow and Maleia ended up stomping on Payton's right cheek and ear. She let out a cry of pain, and she felt the blood pounding in her ear. She quickly hooked her left hook sword around Maleia's ankle and then yanked on the sword in an attempt to knock Maleia off her feet.
