Raziel stood at a ready stance, waiting for his opponent to make his move. Dumah stood, calculating what his first move would be. He finally decided to start with a downward chop, which Raziel easily blocked. The blocking left his chest oppenant to attack, and Dumah used his other hand to punch Raziel in the said chest. Raziel countered this by dodging, and keeping his body pointed sideways from Dumah, so that there was less area for his opponent to attack. Raziel used the momentum of his turn as well, giving Dumah a low kick as he spun. Dumah jumped up to dodge the low kick. But in mid-air, he gave Raziel a high kick to the jaw. He was stunned at the blow Dumah got in, but only for a split second, grabbing Dumah's cloven foot as it left his face. Raziel swung Dumah's leg away, and let go, the centrifugal force propelling him towards the far wall to crash. Before that could happen, however, Dumah spun in mid-air, landing more gracefully than the crash should have allowed. Now against the wall, Dumah pushed away from it, lunging back at Raziel. Raziel, still keeping a sideways stance from Dumah, easily dodged Dumah's lunge, and while his brother was still in mid-air, grabbed his arm and used it to swing Dumah's body down to the ground. This time Raziel did not let go. Dumah was now on the floor, on his stomach, with his arm pinned behind him by Raziel, who brought his foot down on Dumah's back to hold him there.
"You've gotten better, Dumah. But you're still no match for me." Raziel mused.
"Wanna bet?" Dumah smirked. The hand belonging to the arm Raziel held grabbed onto Raziel's own arm. With a burst of strength, Dumah threw Raziel off of his back, and slammed him into the ground just next to where he lay. Raziel let go of his arm now, and Dumah did likewise, before bringing his elbow down to slam into Raziel's stomach. Alarmed, Raziel rolled away. Dumah missed him by inches, the ground where he hit now a cracked crater of cement.
"Hey, watch it." Raziel hissed, getting up and dusting himself off.
But Dumah wasn't finished yet. Getting up, he swung a punch at Raziel, who caught the punch and tried to push the fist away. Dumah used his other hand, which Raziel caught again, but Dumah was slowly pushing Raziel's own hands back, apparently the stronger.
"Admit it, Raziel. I am the stronger." Dumah grinned wickedly. Raziel frowned, before slacking off his arms, and using Dumah's fists to balance on as he propelled himself up, knees first. Dumah, no longer leaning on Raziel, fell forward, his face headed right for Raziel's knees.
Dumah clutched his now broken nose, which Raziel had crushed, seemingly suprised by the move. Raziel got up, and turned away from his brother. "Yes, you have gotten stronger, Dumah." He admitted. "But strength isn't everything in a fight."
Dumah snorted, his nose now healed thanks to his vampiric ability to heal quickly.
"What's say we start this over again?" Dumah asked.
Raziel smirked, and was about to reply, when the door opened. Sariss, one of the younger Razielhim, looked out from the door, glancing at the two clan leaders, before addressing hers.
"Lord Raziel." She bowed. "I have come to announce that Lord Kain has sought an audience with you and your brothers, tomorrow night at the pillars."
"It's probably about that new ability he's got; phasing through walls or something."
"Melchiah's getting that ability." Raziel said thoughtfully. "Probably going through dormancy, along with most of his clan."
"Hmph. He needs it; A new ability." Dumah snorted.
"Whatever." Raziel said, turning back towards Sariss. "Is that all?"
"No, my Lord." Sariss continued. "It was arranged that you would take your clan out to remove a nuisance group of vampire hunters towards the North..."
"A yes, I remember." Raziel announced. "Ah well, Dumah. Guess we'll have to finish this little sparring match another time."
Dumah merely glared at Raziel for a moment, pausing before finally nodding. "Very well......... But I'll be waiting." He grinned.
"That's the spirit." Raziel said, moving towards the exit, picking up his light armor and his cloak-banner, and leaving Dumah behind.
The vampire hunter aimed his crossbow right at Raziel's chest. Snarling, Raziel quickly dodged, the heavy bolt zooming over his shoulder, it's wind grazing Raziel's neck. Raziel realized this vampire hunter need to be gotten rid of quickly. He was about to move forward to give the human a good slash to his body, when he noticed a Razielhim behind the hunter, who hadn't noticed him yet. The Razielhim paused; glancing at his leader, knowing Raziel had the right to finish him off first. But Raziel nodded at his brood, and Razielhim grinned, pushing his claws through the surprised hunters back, his arm going through the human's chest. The hunter stared at the arm sticking out, before sliding off of it, to fall down to the ground and die.
But Raziel didn't stick around to watch. He advanced on another two hunters. Cautious, considering one had a flame-thrower, he ducked when a jet of fire shot towards him, while the other hunter swung a knife from behind. He used his duck to give the hunter a low kick. Stumbling, the vampire hunter lost his aim and the jet of flame hit the other hunter, who ran around, still alight, igniting vampire hunters and vampires alike.
"Great." Raziel muttered, leapfrogging over the downed hunter before him, snapping his spine while doing so. The human would remain immobile, helpless. He ran towards the alight hunter. Fortunately, most of his clan had enough sense to back away form him. The hunter had rolled around the ground, but it was too late for him. A charred Razielhim, who had survived getting burnt, finished off another hunter by twisting his neck, snapping his spine. Raziel finished off the last hunter available by slashing his claws through his chest. He noticed the charred Razielhim examine the hunter he killed, and pull something from his belt, a gourd of sorts, and sniffed its contents.
"What's that?" Raziel snapped at the fledgling. The charred vampire brought it forward. Raziel sniffed it and tossed it away, not noticing another Razielhim catching it. "Human brandy." Raziel explained. Turning towards the burnt vampire, he continued. "Gora's your name, isn't it?" The vampire nodded.
"Well, Gora. It's best to avoid human habits. Trust me, you'll regret it later..."
"Will it kill us?" The vampire that caught (and hid) the flask asked.
"No." Raziel walked over to the vampire, and stared threateningly at his face. "But let e warn you, there are many things worse than death." Raziel moved away then looked at the downed hunters. Most were killed. Others were simply too injured to move. "Collect all these humans!" Raziel began to bark out orders. "Take them away back to the sanctuary. Take the dead ones first. Tie the living ones up. Quickly now... You. You did this?"
The vampire Raziel addressed nodded worriedly, looking guilty before the corpse below him that was sucked dry of blood.
"You know that this blood is to be shared, and taken by Kain or the clan leader first. Since you don't seem so keen on sharing, you can head back to the sanctuary and starve for a few days. Maybe that will change your mind on hogging all the blood."
Raziel over saw his clan taking the spoils of the battle away, making sure everything was done properly, and stayed behind, checking the battleground while his clan moved off. He examined a few charred remains of the few unfortunate vampires that got burnt. One had a stake through his chest that Raziel simply removed and sent back home. Keeping the stake, he paused when he sensed something... his instincts warning him of danger...
"THINK FAST RAZIEL!" Dumah yelled, jumping up from a high ledge to give a flying kick to Raziel on his way down. Raziel, irritated, blocked Dumah's leg and knocked him aside, tossing away the stake.
"Dumah..." Raziel groaned. "I told you that we'll just have to finish this spar later!"
"I've waited long enough!" Dumah yelled form the ground. Dumah grabbed Raziel's foot before he could do anything, his eyes widening in surprise. Dumah then swung him over his head towards the ledge Dumah had just jumped from. Raziel hit the corner, forehead first, and there was an audible crack that echoed around the area as Dumah ran towards Raziel to continue the spar. He waited patiently for his brother to get up after he slumped to the ground in a clumsy mess. But Raziel didn't get up.
Dumah stood patiently. He realized that maybe he had been a little rough on Raziel this time. But Raziel would heal. He was a vampire, and didn't have too worry too much on many wounds, and head wounds wasn't much to worry about at all. Dumah just stood, waiting longer for Raziel to finish healing and get up and fight him.
But Raziel still didn't get up.
Dumah waited and waited, until, at the end of his patience, he gave up. He looked around, and realized that some vampire hunters may have survived the battle and could finish Raziel off while he was unconscious. So Dumah slung his brother's body over his shoulder, and marched off back towards the sanctuary.
