However, Garrett had seen skirmishes aplenty and thus was nearly unaffected, save for the loud..stick? Metal stick? The thick alabaster colored plume obscured his vision, making it hard to discern it's make. It seemed as if the ranger had run low on shots, leaping into the fray as he did. [color=007236][i]Oh. Oh yeah! Great! Go! Go forth![/i][/color] And like that, he was snapped back to reality. The male..or at least the [i]assumed[/i] male that addressed him was odd, no doubt, but not immediately hostile. The knight tossed the hefty pack from his shoulders and drew his blade. He was (fairly) confident in his armour to atleast stop a single arrow, so he moved hastily towards the front, where an archer had posted. He figured eliminating the deadlier threat would make everyone's life just that much easier. Once he came within 3 meters of the archer, the beast noticed him from its periphery and loosed an arrow in his direction; a snap-shot that had missed but startled Garrett some. It knew nocking another would be suicidal and thus drew it's own blade. And so began the simplest of Serim Fighting styles; Dance. All Serim fighting styles are broken down into dances, But [i]Dance[/i] is the basic and fundamental style that every Serim knows, and learns in training. It's the progenitor to the other more advanced styles, and consist of only two part. [i]Crawl[/i], Garrett hunched as much as his armour would allow, keeping his gaze fixed to his opponent. His pace slowed dramatically, to that of..well..a crawl, advancing closer. The beast kept slanted eyes afixed to odd gestures, the combatants beginning to circle one another. Garrett's blade raised somewhat high and kept perpendicular to his body; so the apex, the point, is always facing the beast. [i]Flourish[/i], next came bold taunt from the knight, beating his chest with vigor. the beast was lured directly into the trap, which would be ended with a bloody finale. [i]Finale[/i], and when the beast charged the Knight, planning to enact punishment with a broad horizontal slash, the edge met nought but air, as Garrett rolled forward, evading the blow and striking the soft belly. Before he'd even allow a possible counter, he brought the blade up, rending flesh and eviscerating the archer. The viscera fell slowly and was soon followed by the body. [i]End[/i] Casting the blood from his blade, The Knight sought after the remaining foes. Maybe he'd go for a decapitation next time...
