Aryck vs. Taiku

[Dain Gavyns]

You know the drill.

Crowd for a ring, in front of a dilapidated old building.

Have fun.

[Kazuki Akimoto]

With the first round successfully taken, Taiku had made good on his time to prepare for the second round, spending less and less time at work and more time in training, honing his body. He'd been sloppy in the first round, something he'd been rather shocked at himself for, but knew that in recent months he had slowly began to move away from that area of his life.

Still, if he was going to fight, even if just for sport, then there was no place to do it half-assed. As such, he'd beaten his body into near-crippling submission for the last few weeks, pushing every limit he had to regain his former lustre and then some...No doubt about it, he'd been in excruciating pain for days after it as his muscles began to return to a state of 'rest', but he could feel the difference. He was sharper, lithe again, his body felt lighter and more responsive...

He felt like he used to feel when he fought in Varron.

'No doubt, I'll need to be at my best for the later rounds....'

So, standing in the empty space provided by the crowd, Taiku waited with eager anticipation on his opponents arrival...

OOC: Taiku wins by default due to Aryck's inactivity. Too bad, would have been awesome.
