The ferret put away his dagger, slipping off in the process. He went to the arena, picking a seat up top. He leaned back, putting his footpaws on the seat in front of him since it was unoccupied.

"Yes, he will be more of a challenge than his brother. His brother got desperate and threw his axe at me." Gitana laughed as they neared the ring.
She was confident that she could beat Doron just as she had beaten his brother. Though, this time she was going to have to step things up since the slightest mistake would mean the end for her. Once they had reached the gate, Gitana gave her belongings to Stripetail so that she would not be encumbered by them and so that he could watch them for her. Stretching Gitana tested her bandaged shoulder, finding much to her approval she still had good mobility.
It did not take long for the announcer to call their fight and Gitana entered the ring while Doron did the same from the other side. The big dog-fox smirked as he drew his blade and readied himself. He still believed that Gitana was nothing more than a fraude and he was going to show everyone at the ring. Glancing around he saw that the seats were filling up and there were very few that were empty, now he would get the glory of the ring by defeating Gitana.
Gitana was standing opposite of Doron and she had every sense at her disposal strained to the breaking point almost. There were only two things that she allowed herself to be aware of: Doron and the announcer. She knew that Doron was standing in front of her at about the same place that his brother had stood at earlier that day. She also knew that he had his sword out.
At the announcer's signal the fight began. Gitana did not wait for Doron to make the first move like she had his brother but rather charged him. Running full speed at him, she leapt to one side at the last moment thusting her spear at him. The act of her going on the attack had momentarily taken Doron aback but he soon regained his composure and waited for her to get close enough so that he could strike. As he stood poised to strike he wasn’t expecting Gitana to leap to one side while thrusting at him with her spear. Her attack only managed to catch some of the fabric of his tunic.
When Gitana landed behind Doron she immediately fell into a defensive crouch, she had felt her attack miss. Angrily Doron turned on her, lunging with his sword poised to cleave down on her. Gitana heard the fox move and immediately went on the defensive, working both ends of her spear as she had with Loki. She also did not let him force her backwards but moved to one side or the other.
Doron had a hard time keeping track of where the point of Gitana’s spear was because of the flourish of the black and red tassel just below the spear head. Gitana managed to land two solid blows on him, one with the end cap to the side of his face that was solid enough to knock a couple teeth lose and another that plunged the spear head through his arm. Frustrated that things were no going as planned, Doron dropped his sword and grabbed hold of the spear shaft as Gitana pulled back.
Gitana let out a cry of dismay as she found herself thrown to the dirt floor of the ring by Doron as he wrenched her spear from her hands. Frantically she felt around for her spear, it was her only way through a world she could no longer see. Viciously Doron kicked her over on to her back. With Gitana lying on the ring floor, helpless and prone, he picked up his sword and walked over to her. Planting one foot on her chest he plunged his sword through her already injured shoulder, thoroughly pinning her to the ground. Callously he wrenched the blue scarf from her across her eyes.
“So, looks like you was tellin’ the truth after all. I guess I should be puttin’ you out of you’re misery now.” Doron laughed as he pulled his sword free of her shoulder and made to finish her off.
Thinking quickly, Gitana grabbed a hand full of dirt from the ground and threw it at where she thought Doron’s face was. She got lucky and the hand full of dirt struck him squarely in the face causing him to reel backwards away from her.
“Now you’re in my world, fox.” Gitana growled as she closed in on him.
Devoid of her spear, she used her only weapon she had: her body. Lashing out at the temporarlily blinded fox she landed a stinging blow to the side of his hear with her fist followed by a sound kick to the side of his knee. Doron soon found himself on the ring floor at the mercy of Gitana.
“Please, have mercy on me so I can take care of my brother.” Doron begged as he scuttled backward, his vision still blurred by the dirt in his eyes. “Why, you weren’t going to grant me any?” Gitana snarled at him as she closed.
As she drew nearer, her foot collided with something. It was her spear. Picking up the fallen weapon she pressed Doron until he found himself trapped against the wall of the ring. Hearing the thud of Doron hitting the wall, Gitana quickly took her chance to end the fight. With her spear in her right hand, her uninjured arm, she raised it and brought it down on Doron. Though her strike was a little off center, Gitana still managed to kill Doron with a blow to the chest. Pulling her spear free from his body, Gitana wearily sank to the ground…

Stripetail threw himself into the ring as soon as Gitana pulled her spear out of dorans body. He helped her to her feet, noticing the wound on her shoulder. "I will have to heal that, it looks bad.." He said, noticing her scarf which Doran had torn from her head, and thrown it aside. he picked it up, and placed it in his robes, he would give it to her when she asked for it. he looked over at Doran, who was being examined by a couple voles ' this one is dead.." one of them said to him. "A pity.." stripetail said, his anger at Doran had quickly faded, he hated seeing young life snuffed out. ' Find his brother, and bring him to me..he is now alone in the world.." He turned back to Gitana. " i have your scarf, I will give it you once you have had that shoulder checked out.. Doran reinjured it, and I wil tend to it.."

The ferret chuckled. "I had a feeling something like that was going to happen." After a bit of thinking, he decided to enter. The young ferret made his way down to the entry room, and after a bit of hassling with the book keeper, Zerstoren was entered into the tournament. All he had to do now was wait. In the meantime, he decided to get some food.

"Thank you, Stripetail. Hopefully my shoulder hasn't been damaged beyond repair. I'm afraid that I wasn't as good as I thought I was. " Gitana grimaced as Stripetail helped her out of the ring, her voice was sad and quiet.
At the gate the young mouse who had shown Gitana to the infirmiry tent was waiting for them. For a moment he shyed away because of Gitana's disfiguement but he soon got past it when he saw the large wound in her shoulder.
"My mam won't be happy to see what that fox did to ya. He got you bad miss." he said before hurrying off before then to the infirmiry tent...

Zerstoren went to work chomping down on his food once he got it. He hadn't eaten for over a day and was thoroughly starved. The young ferret kept to himself, away from prying eyes since he didn't want others harassing him over anything.

" i'll be able to fix your shoulder, although it will be best if you don't fight for the next few days an allow it to mend' Stripetail said wrapping the scraf around gitana's eyes, covering her scars. "You need to protect your eyes as well, even though they don't work. they are easy targets in battle, especially if you are blind, and your foe is without scruples.." Stripetail continued. "once we get to the infirmary, i'll be able to see how bad the wound is..

Valerie was standing infront of the infirmiry tent with her son waiting for Gitana and Stripetail. She had already worked herself into a fit as she was messing with her apron.
"Ohh, I didn't want to have to see you again, deary. Jareth told me about the wound that nasty fox gave you. Come along, let's get you patched up again." Valerie fussed as she held the tent flap open for them...

Zerstoren had slipped off unseen after he finished eating, having pawed a few items of interest, mostly various foodbits that would not spoil within a day or two. He went to the infirmary, partly to learn more about the combatants, and partly to have a sort of semi-safe refuge.

"My thanks sir, it'll probably take both of us. Now then, just sit down her and let's take a looksy at that shoulder." nodded Valerie as she helped Gitana sit down.
Takeing a bowl of water and a clean cloth from her son, Valerie begain to clean Gitana's wounded shoulder. Once most of the blood had been wiped away she removed the bandage that she had put on earlier. As she inspected the wound she was amazed that Gitana had not been more seriously wounded. Doron's sword had nearly passed through her shoulder. Gently she felt the back of Gitana's shoulder and found that there was a small hole from where the tip of his sword had punctured through.
"My, my, my...You had better listen to your friend here and not go back out in that dreadful ring for a while. Your poor shoulder has been struck clean through just about." Valerie said shaking her head...

Stripetail meanwhile had produced a vial of liquid from his robes. 'this liquid will help with the healing..but it will take at least 3 days to fully heal a wound of this severity.. she must not fight at all..'
