Judging strictly from the smirk that curled the corners of Daemyn's mouth Ktulu assumed that the stallion was confident and perhaps a bit smug. Confidence was a good thing to have in a fight, but if he was smug he was sure to falter and become reckless. Her stance shifted as she took up the defensive and prepared herself for Daemyn's attack. She had not seen him in battle before nor had she been present for any of his spars so she did not know his fighting style. Anticipation clawed at her throat as she began to wonder if he was a close range fighter or he had some ability that allowed him to strike from a distance. Whatever his style she knew she would have to quickly assess the best possible defense along with attack to ensure her success in battle because she would not lose to him. She refused to lose to him.

Crimson eyes shifted as Daemyn finally threw himself into motion, but she was a bit surprised that he would target Eytan first. Was he trying to get the bear out of the fight early on to try and even the odds? Did he think that she would throw herself in front of the bear to protect him? An annoyed snort blew past Ktulu's nostrils because she and Eytan were a team and she knew very well that the bear could defend himself against Daemyn. He had claws that could easily slice through flesh, sever veins and arteries, rip through muscles and tendon, and leave behind one very broken, very lame horse. That was why Ktulu did not jump to Eytan's defense and, instead, let the bear prepare himself for a swipe at the stallion's legs. It was all for naught, however, when he feinted to the left to come at her.

"Idiot." She thought with irritation as he kept his head low and aimed for her knee because she knew there were ways to counter attack. A rear would lift her effortlessly into the air and past his teeth, but it would leave her open if he decided to kick at her and she was not keen on taking a kick from him. The other option, and the one she chose, was to lower her head and allow her horn to do the defending for her. The length of it would not allow him to get close enough without the possibility of being stabbed in the face or neck. There was also the bonus of being able to stab at his chest or belly if he decided to rear. As she dropped her head down and pointed her horn toward Daemyn she began to turn. The sheer speed with which he could stop was surprising and Ktulu found herself lifting her head and backing away. She had managed to back away enough so that his flank was near her shoulder and she had wanted to back away more but Daemyn had already straightened and was preparing his next attack. Ktulu's dark ears flattened against her head and she aimed a particularly vicious bite toward the meaty ass that he was throwing into her shoulder. The bite was not without injury to her because his weight hitting against her muzzle and teeth left her jaw aching and made her think twice about trying to bite him again.

"You throw your ass around like a mare in heat!" She snapped irritatedly. Again, the spotted boy was on the offensive and Ktulu wondered how he had managed to attack so many times in so short a period of time. She skittered back and his hooves glanced off of her shoulder, leaving the muscle to bruise in its wake. "Now Eytan!" Ktulu instructed to the bear who had distanced himself when the battle began. Now the bear charged forward with a roar ripping its way from his throat as he tried to use his ability to terrorize his enemies against Daemyn. Should he be successful the boy would be subjected to visions of the Edge's forest burning, its king and queen mutilated, the healers and nurses throat's slit open. At the same time Ktulu tapped into her own magic to try and choke the boy.

Ktulu waited scarcely a moment because she knew the extent of Eytan's ability, knew the time frame that it would last and knew that she had to capitalize. Slate grey hooves thundered against the ground as she charged with her head lowered, intent on using it to slice into Daemyn's flesh on his right and spill his blood. Perhaps she was taking the spar a little too seriously but how would the boy learn if she took it easy on him? He would probably continue to attack with his ass and that was unacceptable.

ooc:// Ktulu defends her knee by lowering her head and using her horn. She turns to face the direction Daemyn was running and backs away so his rump is near her shoulder. She bites at his butt but the force of her biting at him and his rump hitting her face hurts her mouth. She backs away and his hooves glance off of her shoulder. She then uses Eytan's terrorize ability to show him the Edge burning, Kaj and Kahlua mutilated, the healers and nurses with their throats slit open. While Eytan is using his terrorize ability she tries to choke him then charges with the intent of using her horn to slice his right side up.

And she's really offended that he attacked her with his butt. Really. xD
