The day began rather unusual for Vali Onfroy. He felt...empty. For sure it was because his men weren't with him. Yesterday after helping decorate the town for some sort of festival Vali was able to get his men horses- thanks to the help of Lord Medias- and his men returned to Worth Woodsea. In days time he would receive a messenger if his warriors did as instructed now he'd just have to wait. In the mean time he decided that he wanted to use this wide empty space behind the guild hall to train. This was officially his second day as a Fairy Tail mage. Being fairly new and not like the rest of his peers the young Viking felt inclined to maneuver on his own. With both feet planted to the ground and his back towards the guild's wall he began with an easy breathing exercise. In...out...in....out With each breath he counted. His father taught him to always remained level headed in battle but Val practiced that in everything he did. It was rare for him not to be cool and collective. His viking brothers, however, were less like him. It was in their blood to be boisterous.

His eyes glared forward at the trees only 20 meters in front of him as if they were his enemy. They swayed in unison, singing songs with the birds that lived wild and free within them. There was so much the young lord didn't know about his own powers. All he knew was that he was able to use pure energy. Many here called it magical energy but on Iceberg it was called Ethereal energy- or divine. Apparently he was blessed by the gods themselves but who actually knew? The seers seem to believe it true. Just when the white haired Fairy closed his eyes he felt a twitch on one of his slightly pointed ears. Boom, just like that his entire concentration was off. "Relax." he told himself in Icebergan.

For some reason Vali just couldn't focus today. Perhaps it was because every time he closed his eyes he could only think about his home back in Worth Woodsea. Without him there to make sure everything was running smoothly he felt like things would fall apart. Of course he trusted Bunda to run the show just as much as his father trusted Bunda but Vali was their rightful leader, it was normal for him to be worry and just a little anxious. The Viking opened his eyes and continued to stare ahead. He hoped that his gaze would lead to a piece of serenity but clearly he was wrong. From above him a rose fell to the ground landing directly in front of his feet. For a split second Vali looked at it then he heard a voice from behind him. The voice referred to him as "tough guy" causing him to turn and look at the boy in front of him, stepping on the rose and crushing the pedals and the stem in the process reducing it to almost nothing and smashing it into the dirt. The boy in front of him had long red hair and light green eyes. A spar is what he wanted huh? Without a doubt he was someone from the guild, someone he'd never met before. "A spar, aye?" he asked His eyes glanced down at the man's hands which were behind his back. This could either mean that he was confident or that he had something of use in those hands. It could also mean that he didn't want Vali to see him using spells. "Aye." he answered with his deep accent. Once he confirmed, the man leapt back 10 feet and landed. One he leapt back Vali got into his usual fighting position. Vali knew what he was capable but maybe this man was strong too. Either way he didn't plan on going easy.

Just like that the fight between the two Fairy Tail mages had begun. Shin asked Vali his name, while at the same time conjuring a magic circle and allowing what appeared to be a thorned whip to appear. At that moment Vali heard a familiar voice. It could have been none other than Tomoe with his lame jokes asking if the two were fighting or dancing. Vali didn't mention his own name just yet, he didn't even pay Tomoe any mind. Considering the whip was conjured from Shin's right hand he assumed that this mage would aim for Vali's left side. As soon as he brought his hand to swing towards the viking, he leapt into the air, leaning back to backflip over the whip while it swung, just missing him. At the same moment of leaping, his hand would conjure a small magic circle in the palm of his hand, causing a throwing knife to appear. Mid-flip the crimson fairy would throw his knife, aimed directly at Shin's chest. Once the viking landed on his feet, only half a second after the whip reached where he once was, Shin would have been moving forward towards Vali, dashing directly towards the throwing knife. It was up to Shin to decide how to deal with the spell moving at 20 m/s towards him. If he stopped there was a chance that he could deflect or block but either way at this speed he probably wouldn't be able to dodge. When Vali landed Tomoe asked to make this fight a three-way brawl between guild mates. Distracted by the offer the Viking chuckled. Shin disagreed but Vali just may have been up for the challenge. "A three way? I see no reason why we cannot, do you?" He asked the flower mage with a devilish smirk "Oh, I am Vali. he finally responded.

Spells:

Sometimes Vali could go a little overboard when it came to fighting. Even if it was just simple friendly sparring, he could get lost in the heat of it. The battlefield always reminded him of war. Although the wars he fought in always tore families apart, A part of him found comfort in it. It was a sad thing to acknowledge really. That was one of the many reasons why he decided to leave Iceberg. When it came to fighting, Vali hated losing and usually would stop at nothing to win. That alone was why he could have seriously hurt Shin. Somehow though, Shin had managed to jump to the left. This would mean that at exactly 5 feet away from Vali, Shin would stop in his tracks to dodge a projectile hurling towards him at 20 meters per second. Not only did he stop, but he also looked at where the knife landed before reminding his peer that this was just a spar. "I won't go easy on you." The viking responded as the knife vanished.

By the time Shin would have noticed Tomoe, the afro samurai would already have reached him and been able to attack. Shin was reacting far too slow to everything. "Come on..." he whispered in Icebergic hoping for Shin to do something amazing in order to avoid Tomoe embarrassing him. Shin probably wasn't the best of fighters, but all he really needed to do was move smart. The viking lord noticed Shin quickly trying to use magic as he began to draw a circle with his left hand. At the same moment Vali would bend his finger, flicking it towards his guild mates. By the time the Flickr ball would reach the two of them, Shin would have been trying to use his left right hand actually use the spell but given the speed, he wouldn't even be able to correctly use the spell.

Neither of them were watching Vali either, so there was no reason for this not to work, especially considering the ball was so small. The Flickr ball was aimed at Tomoe's right side but with the Joyan being nothing more than feet away from Shin at this point, the ball of black godly energy would explode and effect them both. The explosion from the Flickr ball would cause the petals to explode as well, dealing damage to anything within 2 meters of the flickr balls explosion while also causing the explosive petals to deal damage to anything within it's explosive range. Vali Leapt back after releasing his attack, clearing a distance of 10 meters from himself and the two people he was fighting. There he stood confidently. "Fight with all of your strength, brothers. Those demons could be here at any moment!"

Spells:

Of course the Flickr ball was a success. Sure the explosion was small, but it would do a bit of damage to mages around this level for sure...at least that's what Vali thought before he saw Tomoe move from out of the smoke. Immediately Vali braced himself, using his hand left hand to touch his pelvis while simultaneously stomping his right foot on the ground. Two magic circles formed around his pelvis area before both blue and yellow energy sparked around his body like lightning. The viking lord readied himself as Tomoe began to close in. He noticed that the Joyan wasn't as fast as he was and now with his own speed buffed the half-elf would easily be able to overwhelm him with speed right? That was the new plan the Lord quickly put together. It surprised Vali how Tomoe didn't seem to be hurt much by his destruction styled spell. It surprised him even more that just like before, the swordsman had been moving in complete silence. Even with the style of sandals he had on Val could hear no connection of them as he stepped.

Unfortunately the crimson titan didn't have time to put two and two together because Tomoe was already 2 meters away from him with his sword ready to strike, at that moment Vali snatched his dagger from the left side of his hip with his right hand, ready to defend himself. Shin on the other hand was behind The two of them, but with the Joyan's back mostly towards Shin, Val hoped that Shin would use an attack that would do something to hinder Tomoe. If not then he'd have no problem dealing with the immediate threat, especially since Shin was moving slowly towards them as if he was just waiting for the right moment to catch up.

Spells & Stats:

Vali stood confidently with his hands raised, weapon still in hand while his other hand was formed into a fist. At any moment he would move, but first he had to make sure he was moving correctly. Val respected Tomoe because he was capable of holding his own so he didn't want to take any chances especially considering he didn't know what his abilities were. Crazy how someone so noticeable can remain so mysterious...unless he was purposely making himself noticeable... Is he hiding something in plain sight? The lord pondered. This is the first time the two of them sparred. This was the perfect time to see what Tomoe was all about. From a a bit behind Tomoe Shin began lightly sprinting forward. At that same moment, Tomoe had leapt back to clear a distance of 5 meters from both of his attackers. Once Tomoe's foot touched the ground, Vali darted forward towards his position at 10 m/s. His dagger was raised and ready to strike. The viking would dash a few inches to the left of Tomoe, holding his dagger out so that as he dashed past the Joyan, his dagger would slice across the mans chest. In under a second he would be in front of Tomoe- almost immediately after he landed. When the Joyan landed Shin had been an even meters away and would then touch the ground while flicking his wrist simultaneously, conjuring two spells. One was a vine aimed straight for Tomoe. Perhaps what the viking did was a bit overboard, but Vali couldn't wait to see his peers magic anymore. Maybe drawing blood has something to do with it. Maybe he had to get angry?

Spells & Stats:

"M'lord!" He heard as he finished executing his attack. It went exactly as planned and Tomoe's chest would now be sliced and leaking. As for what Shin did, that two would probably connect undoubtedly damaging the Joyan even more. The Viking looked up to see one of his men on his horse, standing right beside the building of the guild. Without hesitation the lord moved towards the viking warrior. "Aye, my friend. All is well?" The viking shook his head. "The people are growing restless and await your return. Lord Bunda is making sure everyone is safe but the Neko's and the villagers both do not see him as their leader." The Desiertan sucked his teeth with a sigh. Deep down inside he knew that Bunda wouldn't have much pull for long. "Aye. Go back to the village and tell them I am to be back soon." Was all he commanded. In his head he had a vision of returning in a week or so. Giving exact dates would force him to come early and putting his priorities here aside. The warrior nodded and turned, galloping away on his horse. Quickly Vali left the battle area not even giving a word to his guild mates about where he was going.
