Hakon, or rather Einar, would step into the arena, the crowd cheering. He'd made a name for himself, enough to catch the attention of a certain valkyrie. So here he was, about to follow through with a promise he'd made.

He'd look across the arena as his opponent emerged, showboating as always. She was skilled, but he knew she was arrogant and convinced she was beyond defeat, today he intended to prove her otherwise.

The armored warrior would step towards the center, silent, his helmet and mask hising his face. He wanted to see what Sylvi would say to him before the fight started. @Big Jeffe

Sylvi

While the crowd cheered for Einar, a fair few also cheered for Sylvi. She'd made a name for herself in the arena. She was still undefeated, despite a close call in her first match, and she'd jumped at the chance to face the faceless Einar.

Truth be told, she'd paid attention to his matches, even secretly cheering him on. But today was different. Today, she was here to win.

Stepping in the arena with a confident smirk, in full armor and spear in hand, she'd quickly take the skies, doing a few aerobatics before landing with a flourish of her spear. Finishing with the tip pointed squarely at Einar. She'd hesitate a moment, before also stepping towards the center, not sure if this was some sort of trap.

"So, you are Einar?" She asked, looking him up and down. "I always wondered why you chose to hide your face. But, no matter. When I win today, I will be taking that helmet with me as a trophy. And then all of Manta Carlos will know who you really are."

He'd stare at her, his mask hiding any emotions. "So confident, so arrogant," he'd say, his masking altering his voice. "You're so certain you'll win," he'd say, his voice calm as ever. "I'm afraid you'll fall short of victory today," he'd crack his neck, "but....if you want to make a bet, fine, I have something I'll have you do once I've won."

The armored warrior was calm, as he looked at his opponent the round about to start. The crowd starting to hush in anticipation.

"So.....Asgardian," he'd say, his voice cold, and almost hiss like, "are you all words? Or can you fight?"

Sylvi

Sylvi let out a scoff at that. "And yet, you see fit to chide me for my confidence." She answered with a laugh. "But very well, it is not like it actually matters what you want me to do in any case. But enough talk." She said, realizing the match was about to start. She'd turn her back to Einar, and begin to walk away when he asked if she was all talk.

Quickly spinning on her heel, she'd glare at him. "I am a divine warrior, I have fought ten trained warriors at once, and WON. I saved an entire realm from destruction. And I am vice-president of the sparring club! What, exactly, have you done as of late?" She spat.

Finally taking her place, she waited for Einar to take his and the match would begin. She'd start with a simple charge, aiming the spear at Einars chest. She was testing Einar, trying to see how he would react. If he tried to counter, she'd use her wings to launch herself backwards.

He saw the attack coming a mile away, hours upon hours of sparring together had shown him how she'd react to things. He knew what she'd do if he countered, so he declined to do something a little different.

Just as the spear approached him he'd drop down, his shield appearing in his hands, and he'd throw it at her. The spinning disc of metal aimed to his her in the mid section, a trick he hadn't shown her.

Einar's intention was to knock her off balance, if it worked he intended to rush her with a few quick slashes of his sword.

Sylvi

The moment Einar dropped down, Sylvi used her wings to fly up into the air. Swinging the spear downwards as she did, hoping to catch Einar by surprise.

"Hmpf. Surely you do not think you can win with cheap tricks such as that?" She taunted, hovering above him. Circling above Einar for a moment, she'd suddenly swoop down, going for a dive bomb attack.

His opponent would begin dive bombing, she was skilled, but predictable at this point. He'd move quickly, dodging the attacks while moving back, making it seem like she was winning.

Finally as the valkyrie came down again, he'd jump, not to the side, but up, just enough to get over. As he went he'd grab onto his opponent, his arms wrapping around her, the right around her neck in a headlock.

"I just know you're arrogant and predictable," he'd tell her, tightening his hold on her, his knee slamming into a gap in her armor that knew from training.

Sylvi

Sylvi struggled against the headlock, and let out an audible grunt when Einar's knee connected. Even if her armor dulled the pain, it still hurt

However, even if she was down, she was still far from out. Dropping her spear, she'd grab Einar's knee, before hooking his other leg to trip him, sending them both to the ground. This gave Sylvi enough leverage to get lose from the hold, and she'd quickly move to put some distance between her and Einar.

"Really, now? A chokehold?" She scoffed, pausing for a moment to readjust her armor. Summoning her spear once again, she'd go for another charge, this time going for a overhead swing.

He'd land lightly on his feet, like his opponent he'd get some distance. He'd crack his neck, summoning his shield and sword. He could have said something, something he knew would make her angry, throw her off, but no, no he was going to win without that.

Einar would go to meet his opponent, as expected she was going for an overhead strike. He'd raise his sword blocking it, then he'd drop it, letting the motion of the attack take Sylvi.

With that he'd sweep his shield at her head, his sword reappearing in his hand and slashing at her side.

Sylvi knew there was no way she could dodge both, and she wasn't about to risk a shield to the face.

Dropping down, she'd duck underneath the shield and take the sword hit. Wincing as it connected. Still, she quickly repositioned her spear and went for a jab at Einars mid section.
