Maegr strode through the dark halls of the jedi temple with furious purpose, Arianna pressing behind as if anxiously watching over. The walls were painted with abstract symbols and force script in the Republic's signature maroon. As he walked around a corner bolts flashed at his head which he dodged without much difficulty meanwhile raising his left hand to stop Arianna from walking into them with a gentle force push. The bolts quickly stopped only to be followed by a slash at Maegr's knees. Maegr jumped over the blade and its weilder landing behind him without a sound. He unhooked his main saber from his heap and ignited it with his left hand. An Jedi knight stood in front of him, tall and thin, sunkissed. He had vibrant blue eyes, shaggy brown hair with grey strands and a week's beard. "This one is for me." he told Arianna. "Do not die." she beseeched as she ran off ahead. The Sith paced left and right, sizing his opponent, the length of his reach and the speed of his footwork. Temporizing would only play into the Jedi's hand. Raising his saber with two hands over his head, he came down with a blatantly telegraphed slash at his opponents head which met the other saber, bouncing off it into a circular single-handed slash at the waist which was stopped again. Maegr span the blade around his body in a flourish, accompanying the movement with waist and shoulders as if to give it momentum. From that flourish flew a series of blindingly fast hits at all angles but the Jedi managed to stop them. It soon came apparent that the Sith did not seem to bother with holding up a guard. He struck out at Maegr's chest with lunging thrusts at his chest that the Sith dodged and blocked with unsettling ease. With this H'ruda came to understand that his opponent's had a clear vision of his upcoming moves, more so than most opponents he had ever faced, more so than he himself had of the Sith's. With the next moves the Maegr struck at him with wide slash, down, right, left, up. Every sideways strike was wound up with brutal power by the spins of his passing footwork. Each strike the Jedi blocked wore down his physical and mental strength as the dark power of Sith rage coursed through his body. [hr] H'ruda sorely missing the fortitude of his prime saw that he could sustain the fight following that pattern for much longer. Looking to reengage on his own terms he broke off into a feat of force speed that Maegr stopped by blasting him against the wall at the of the corridor with force. Taking a few steps of run up, he jumped at the Jedi in one of the spectacular slashes of the Ataru form. Though H'daru, after managing to retrieve his footing dodged the attack with relative ease by simply stepping aside and saw the opportunity of a counterstrike from behind his slash was met by Maegr's blade who had guarded his back before spinning into a jumped kick to the knight's head which sent him to the ground and a few meters back. Marching towards him, Maegr clutched his hand and threw the Jedi into the large hall behind him. Bracing his saber with both hands at his chest, he charged, letting out a painfully loud shout.
