The thing a warrior learns quickly, oft within their first few bouts, if they are lucky enough to survive, is that all parties fall into a specific role. This is often based off strategy, but some are unfortunate enough to be forced to play a role. Those forced, lose, those not - win. Alphonse was in the latter. 

His run through the forest put him in what many considered a disadvantageous defensive position. After all, he was being pursued by an Undead, who showed remarkable chasing skill, armed with a bow and arrow. To an outside observer, he was indeed in trouble - to Alphonse, his opponent had already lost.

Alphonse's quickly darted off between the trees and beneath the branches, being tracked by, and tracking, the 'owner' of this forest. Oh, Adrian was quick and seemed to know this forest to a startking degree, but Alphonse was capable of tracking him by his chi pattern. In fact, he could discern some basic information about the chi manipulations he used. One stuck out to him, one that hinted at the ability to coerce a foe. Not many undead held such skills, one - however - did. 

Vampire.

His chi senses told him where his opponent was based off Chi signatures. He hsd stopped running, why would he do that? 

A tree loomed in front of Alphonse, his target, but instincts took over. He swept to the left, swinging his body along that circle, a moment before the arrow whizzed by him and embedded itself in the tree. So close it came that he could feel the wind cutting by. 

Sharpshooter!

Alphonse changed tactics by stopping, and adjusting his body to face his hunter. He shifted his right foot forward, keeping a small target and placing his sword to the fore. It seemed that the only long range skills the Undead possessed was his bow, and twice now that had proved fruitless. Would he forego it for a more close up tactic? Legs muscles tensed, body loose, ready to move offensively or defensively Alphonse stared in the direction of Adrian, challenging him to attack once more.
