Prison shackles (Nex Paciscor)

The day was almost at an end as the city of Zelvita came into our longing views. A cold cup of water, with warm tender turkey leg, and feasting by a warm open hearth that's what Ren longed for. Ren thought for a moment if Nex was going to fight alongside him..... That's just it he has to be able to fight." Buisness comes first" Ren said abrubtly. "Remove your clothing"

Ren picled up a long willow branch and outlined a ring in the ground. "Do you know how to fight" Ren asked?

(Flashback)59th of Winter, 510 AV

Just outside of Zeltiva, the pair stood. The wind howling and kicking up small bouts of dust around them. The sun felt warm as it grazed his skin. It seemed his newfound friend desired to test his mettle, this would prove interesting to Nex. He had studiously trained growing up in the art of unarmed combat, but aside from fighting his trainer, and those practice dummies he had no other experience in actual combat. This was all moot point he realized however, because this was just a simple spar, and sparring was somthing he favored.

Walking to the edge of the circle slowly, he stripped off his cloak, and the rest of his cloths setting them down in a neat pile outside of the circle. He assumed the reason Ren wanted him to take off his cloths was to be able to access his more natural wolf form should he so needed it and perhaps he might, but he did not think so. His prowress in unarmed combat was enough to deal with a good deal of foe's one on one. Though he did not know how trained Ren was in the art, so this would be a learning experience for them both he thought with a wry smile.

Stepping within the circle, the sand felt good against his bare feet, and he longed to be out of this human body, but stemmed the passion in favor of the more pressing spar ahead. He smiled wide, and licked his dried cracked lips exposing his longer than average canines, as much as for a show as to get pumped for the fight. Nex slowly moved into the defensive stance his trainer had taught him and coughed to clear his throat. "Lets see what you've got then."

Ren sat poised and ready tostrike as he thourly study the opponets, it was a flawed stance but not a weak one. Ren planted his feet firmly so to not loose balace in a fight. Ren formed his hand into fist swung stopped and swung the other fist in at his stomach.

Nex was glad he was prepared when Ren snapped into action. His body swung to the left to avoid the oncoming fist, but he had to hop back quickly as he realized it was just a fient so that he could get the real punch in. The fist just glancing the edge of his side did not cause any harm, but warned him that his foe had some skill in the craft.

Twisting as soon as his feet touched the ground, he quickly lunged towards the man. Thinking that he might be already prepared for that, he dove into a roll when he was only a few feet from Ren. Nex knowing he need to show of a good portion of his power here and now to earn Ren's faith in him, he decided to give this fight his all. He rolled close to the right of the man, coming to a stop only a foot behind his left leading leg. In a move designed to topple, he set himself up firmly before kicking out with his right leg, his aim being the back of Ren's left calf.

Ren toppeld when he hit the groud he was winded and was gasping for air. Ren controlled his breathing and rolled to his. Left and stood up falling back into a defensive position, all in one fluid motion.

Ren striked out with a flat palm striking Nexes forehead dazing him. While he was dazed ren striked the back of nexus knee cap.

Grimacing at the blows, he gritted his teeth at being taken so unawares and silently repremanded himself. The sharp blow to his knee cap was staggering but he managed to roll with the crippling blow to lessen its affect, comming to a rest a few feet away from Ren. Comming up to be sitting in a crouched position, balanced on the balls of his feet he took a brief split second to relax and calm his nerves. He supposed it was time to use the best move he had learned so far.

Twisting around sharply in the next second, he spun agiley to face his sparring partner. Nex took two steps towards Ren before leaping into the air, tucking his left leg under him and his right leg coiled before him he utilized the mysterious forces of flux that his trainer only briefly skimmed over during their many spars. Snapping his leg out to strike Ren in the chest he focused a small amount of extra power into his stunning kick. He knew the dangers of this power, so he only used small amounts till he had a chance to better grasp the magic.

The devastating blow forced Ren backwards, Ren then staggered forward and fell on his face. Ren turned his head still laying there. "Using flux already I see very desprate were you?"

After making contact with his chest, he reflexively kicked off and executed a tight spin in the air so he could land gracefully on his feet. Deeply sucking in air and blowing it out slowly he calmly stood straight and shook off the initial excitement and rage of battle.

"No im sorry if i did you any harm, i just got caught up a little bit in our spar. I've not often joined in battle with another besides my trainer and so the excitement got to my head a little bit im afraid." he said dropping into a low bow, and offering a hand to help up his friend. "I'll be wary the battle lust in future spar's rest assured, but for now i hope that i have suitibly met your expectations that i am battle capable? You yourself proved quite a tough fight and i am honored to stand by your side." He hoped that he had sutibily impressed this man he had taken up arms with and admired for his bravery.

"Yes you have proved your worth in a battle and I am confident that you can hold your own against an enemy" Ren said as he grasped Nex's hand. Ren bagan to gather his bearing " let's go get something to eat" Ren started to say as he walked brisly away. "Maybe you could find yourself a nice woman" Ren said while he was grinning.

He gathered up his cloths as Ren gathered himself, and was well under way of putting them on when he started briskly walking away. Stumbling to catch up with him, he jogged after him, his horse following his lead. He cocked his head curiously to the side at the mention of actually meeting a woman. Nex, growing up in a rather sheltered enviornment, never knew the touch of a woman, and was fairly akward around them as he didn't know how to act.

Still this didn't stop him from adopting wide, and nervous grin as he tailed after Ren into the city. He found that he rather looked forward to seeing and meeting the local people here, maybe he would meet someone, but he made it up in his mind to first and foremost observe his companion at work in such matter, for he doubted what usually passed for his kind in the natural world would work on the emotional free spirited humans if he even possesed any intrest at all in the females of the area. Still despite all his doubts it was well worth the shot.

He smiled as he walked through the city streets and motioned for him to hold up for a second while he took on business in the markets.

*****
At the market he sold his horse, a large tent, a large tarp, fishing tackle and hooks, a full set of tack, and a large set of saddle bags, leaving him with a 100 ft of rope, a second pair of flint & steel, lantern, 2 torches, a bedroll, and a blanket. As long as they stayed in town it wouldn't hurt to be prepaired, otherwise he would have despensed of nearly all the neccesaties being well capable of providing for himself in the wild with the help of Ren. Backpack slung over his shoulder, he followed Ren eager to see where he was leading them.
