Battle in forest clearing
Lynesse sat on an old stump in the center of the clearing.
She had just finished her usual ocarina aria she played when she felt restless. Tucking the instrument beneath a root, she then stretched a little.
A movement in the trees caught her eye. Good, she thought to herself. She was bored and perhaps a battle just might relieve that.

(Rolling for initiative!)
Jadecrystal had decided to visit the forest today.
Who knew why?
Maybe she wanted to send some animal souls on to rebirth-it was her job, after all.
Maybe she was looking for company.
Maybe she just felt like making some more of her flower lanterns.
Whatever the reason, she could very well have been here to spar. And as the Holy Beast stepped into the clearing, the look in her eyes changed to one of adrenaline.
After all; she'd never fought a forest child before. And the key to sending something on was to defeat one of them in battle.

If she was taken aback by the fact that it was a holy beast that stepped into the clearing, it did not show in her demeanor.
Rule #1 in battles and in sparring was to show no weakness or fear.
Lynesse grinned and charged at the holy beast, wielding a sharpened stick much like a spear.

Jadecrystal looked a bit insulted by the move to attack her, but the look on her face quickly turned to one of delight as the holy beast teleported to a spot at the far end of the clearing, her lanterns seeming to draw light in.
Yeah, she hadn't attacked, but that likely meant she didn't want to. After all, Jadecrystal didn't love fighting as her companion Shadow did.

As she missed, her momentum carried her farther past where the holy beast had been standing than she would have liked. Blinking, she looked around. Now where did the beast go?
Spying it at the opposite edge of the clearing, 'Nesse turned around and prepared to launch herself again.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
She launched, but she seemed to have forgotten the presence
of tree roots in the ground and fell flat on her face. This was definately not a good fight yet, though hopefully it would improve.

"Oh," Jadecrystal smiled, "I will. Seems like you're doing a good job of defeating yourself, though~"
The lanterns on the Holy Beast suddenly went the color of shadow, and Jadecrystal seemed to transform into shadow. Where was she?
That was a question that might have soon been answered. The teal-furred Spiritkind appeared from Lynesse's shadow, rearing up, and kicked out; the chains on her lanterns reaching forward to grab the Forest Child as well.

"Ooof." The wind was knocked out of the forest child's lungs. First blood to the holy beast. She ignored the taunts. After all if one allowed such remarks to affect them they would really just play into their opponents hands. And she wasn't one to let words affect her anyway.
She sneered. It was a cheap tactic. Quickly untangling herself from the lantern's chains she decided her "spear" wasn't doing a damn thing for her, so she looked around to try and find a more effective weapon.
Her eyes lit upon a large rock, and without pausing she scooped it up. She liked the weight and heft. The balance was also just right for flinging at an enemy.
She tossed it with all her weight behind it, and was pleased to watch it strike. But she knew she couldn't be complacent, and she quickly sprinted from her spot, one eye to the ground looking for more projectiles and the other on her opponent.

Jadecrystal staggered back a bit from the rock, only bleeding a little bit. That had been one heavy, sharp rock.
With a grin, she summoned up a shield around herself, one of the ropes holding her lanterns in place extending for the Forest Child.
Hey, when you were a horse, it was hard to attack conventionally!

With a smirk she dodged the ropes that drifted her way.
Pfft. That was just way to easy. The ropes were far to slow to catch her like that. She almost gave in to the impulse to taunt her opponent, but she had been taught better than that. It would cause her to lose focus, and to lose focus was to lose the fight.
Seeing how the rock had managed to hit fairly solidly, she decided to try it again. Now, where was a good rock?
Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind she spotted one. She rolled over to it, scooped it up and threw it in the direction of the horse's legs in one fluid movement.
She kept following through the motion even when she heard the thunk of rock hitting flesh, going until she reached her feet and danced backwards a few steps.

But this time Jadecrystal didn't move, simply teleported behind her enemy and breathed crystals onto the female, the crystalline jade wrapping itself around Lynesse to bind her. And is it grew to wrap around the forest child's throat, it began to constrict...

(I find it funny that in comparision to Mira; Jade's getting her butt kicked. And she's a Holy Beast-they're not supposed to get their butts kicked.)

First the holy beast was there and in a blink she disappeared. And before 'Nesse even got a chance to look around her air was very nearly cut off by crystals forming around her throat and slowly tightening.
What could she do? This one attack caused her to lose her calm, collected approach to the fight which had been working in her favor so far. Now all she could do was panic, and act on instinct.
She fell to her knees, hands scrabbling around, looking for something, anything that she could use. And as luck would have, her hand closed around the stick she'd tried to use earlier and failed with so dismally.
Lifting the stick, she tried to pry the crystals off her neck so she could breathe. Not managing to get rid of them completely, she loosened them enough that she could breathe normally. Then, raising the stick like a spear, she charged.

Jadecrystal winced as the stick hit her side-not being a two-leg did have problems when you weren't fighting with another four-leg.
With another whisper, crystals began to rise out of the ground, lightly freezing the Forest Child's limbs in place as she was entombed in a block of transparent jade.

As the crytal closed around her, 'Nesse struggled with all her might. Her feet and tail were encased before she even had time to think, but as soon as she realised what was happening the fought it. She couldn't help being completely enclosed, but she'd moved around enough that there was just a small amount of wiggle room.
And that little bit of space was just enough. Gathering all her strength into her arms she battered the crystal until it shattered around her.
And holding her stick tightly, she decided to attack that way again.
