Revaz smiled, a smile filled with glee, arrogance and self confidence. The snake slowly began to circle around the dueling circle, extending of all his length to meet his own tail. somewhat akin to an Ouroboros, almost eating its own tail. 

-Now now my friends, let us not be harsh, this is merely a duel of skill where the winner will gain honor and the loser valuable lessons, so it may foster friendship and understanding.

Revaz rolled her eyes.

-Whatever, I fight for fun and for laugh!

With this she charged with a bright smile. Caroline had the typical Elianst weapon: Quick, light and with a good range, while Revaz used a short sword: Quick, light and broad. Caroline may have had range but Revaz could put power behind her hits without risking breaking her sword plus, she had the advantage in the very close range combat she liked so much. Of course, the trick was to get in this range without receiving a trust from Caroline. Revaz wasn't born yesterday however and she had seen Elianst fighting technique, the opening move for such a weapon was extremely limited, especially if the enemy charged head on, it was either a forward trust or a side sweep. The second would be silly since it would require a movement that would take a second to make, which might as well be the whole day since it gave ample time to parry and attack. No, it would be a trust.

As she came in range, Revaz dexterously deflected the first blow from her adversary and kept going forward, seemingly attempting to trample over her enemy, although it seemed Caroline had more dexterity than others and was able to stay on her feet. Without giving a moment to think Revaz continued to assault with a strike from Caroline's left and although Revaz gave an opening, taking it would also leave Caroline even more open. Such was the Helgland way: Others, especially the Elianst, had too much to care about to actually use tactics into which they would purposefully make a sacrifice to achieve some gain. It was psychological, Helgland didn't have anything to lose in their piece of crap country and everything to gain from defeating an invader. In this fight, it was notable that Revaz stroke fast, but stroke hard. Her blade was the same weight as Caroline's but much more compact, as such Caroline's sword was, in comparison, weaker structurally and couldn't take full on blows all that well.

At this point Revaz was extremely close to Caroline and could smell the perfume on her adversary. It seemed familiar. Hell, maybe it was the same she used, she had pillaged it from Elianst after all!

Another strike, this time from up above, to keep Caroline on her toes. As she saw the eyes of her enemy, even for a second, follow the movement of her sword upward, Revaz used her second hand to creep up on Caroline's sword arm and try to wrestle with it. In Elianst custom of course, there was no use for the other hand, to use it in combat was dishonorable. Revaz didn't particularly care, this didn't extant to Helgland fighting style where a limb was there to be used in combat.

As Revaz forced her way forward, her forehead pushing against Caroline's, she smiled with Arrogance.

-I'll destroy you, like I destroyed the lives of your peasants while cowards like you hid in their castles, Elianst whore!
