*A bird alighted briefly onto a tiny metal head, which stretched down a long sleek ash shaft to its wielder's gloved hand, drawing it taut against the longbow concealed within the foliage. 
The woodlands were completely still once more, before the bird suddenly flew off, mere moments before the arrow slowly slid forward, taking the tension off the bowstring, and by extension, the arms of its wielder. Alloces stretched slightly from atop his perch a few meters off the ground, ensconced on a particularly thick tree bough. He had hidden Ventus away in the underbrush nearby, where he could keep an eye on him. 
The local villagers had reported a strange elusive wolf with colourful blue fur that kept disappearing whenever they tried to hunt it down. Alloces personally bet that it was more due to superstition than real threat, but it was still a bounty nonetheless.
It was time to wait. Before the hunt would inevitably begin. He pondered briefly, brushing against one of his swords arrayed on his back, Eins. They would only come into play if he ever missed the wolf, something that he rarely did. But hours of vigil had made him somewhat tired, not a good thing for a mercenary.*
Sharon
*And after a while something would catch his eyes, as two bright blue ears stuck out of a bush not to far off*

*Kibaru, unaware of the bounty, was searching. To his fault, he did decide to mess around with the villagers using this form, but he was now searching for his next prey to play a prank on*
Efrain
*Alloces debated for several seconds whether or not to take the shot, but he shrugged to himself, his sore shoulders and his bed back at the inn a great incentive to finish this as quickly as possible. And if it wasn't the wolf, he could probably use it as bait or some other purpose, so that nothing would go to waste. Saying a brief apology, he aimed back and fired, sending an arrow zipping through the air towards the ears. However, due to his rather tired condition, the arrow would narrowly miss, passing just over the ears and thwacking into the underbrush if not blocked.*
Sharon
*Once the arrow zoomed by the ears, they would immediately disappear into the bush and the bushed around would rattle as he ran to the directing of which the arrow came from. He was quick to react as he normally is when shot at. Occasional glimpses of could be seen, but his full body was never reveled and he wouldn't be running in a straight line*
Efrain
*Alloces sighed in annoyance at this development, shaking his head as he strung another arrow and loosed a quick shot slightly ahead of where he believed the creature would be running to, before whistling and climbing down. A rather irritated warhorse trotted out, allowing himself to be saddled with a kick to the tree, before giving chase in a gallop at the wolf. Alloces positioned both his blades at the sides of Ventus, as always, and began to draw another arrow. These proceedings would take quite a bit of time, enough for the wolf to get a head start of a minute at the least.*
Sharon
*The arrow would grazed his face and he would then turn and hid behind the nearest tree. And the decided to head up it as quietly as possible*
Efrain
*Alloces would eventually trot to a halt nearby the tree about ten meters away, looking around. Finally, he sighed, pulling out a small slip of paper and tossing it down onto the ground. As it fell, a side turned up to catch the sun, reading, Soldier. In a flash of light, a Macen footsoldier replaced the talisman, looking at Alloces briefly before nodding and beginning to search in a grid pattern, with Alloces at the centre while Alloces remained mounted with a nocked arrow, waiting for the soldier to find something. This would be a fairly time-consuming process, and several minutes would likely go by before any traces were even spotted.*
Sharon
*Kibaru would now be waiting in a tree in his Kemonomimi form, smiling down at a the solider as he waited for him to come closer. His mask was glowing a faint blue*
Efrain
*Eventually, the soldier would push aside some ferns with his sword, pointing at some traces to Alloces, who would move Ventus a bit closer and his for the soldier to follow the tracks. The soldier would begin following the tracks over to the tree, sword drawn and eyes searching for where the wolf was.*
Sharon
*Kibaru would make sure to be out out vison. Finally having enough, He took his bow in hand and knotted a arrow and slowly pulled it aiming at Alloces. Then having a bit of payback would shoot it right over his head. He would make sure Alloces could see him after he shot at him and seeing Alloces already having and arrow ready to fire, was ready to dodge if he needed to*
Efrain
*Alloces blinked as the arrow went right past his head. He was caught off guard, but more through habit and muscle memory than conscious thought, he immediately sought out the attacker and sent one right back at him. However, due to a miscalculation in... Well, the target being in a tree, made it so that the arrow would be aimed for the left leg instead of the torso. His soldier promptly looked up and pulled back, shielding both himself and Alloces with his shield.*
Sharon
"Pfft" *Kibaru almost broke out in laughter as at the terrible aim, as he barely had to move to dodge it. He could tell from the expression and posture where he would aim and where he wanted to aim, he has though quite the amount of people how to use a bow. He dodged it by moving to the opposite side, he was just a bit surprised it his lower then his aim, hence why he felt the need to hold himself in from laughing at such a small blunder. He wasn't going to luaght as a form of belittling, but simply that he was in an amused state*
Efrain
*Alloces frowned in annoyance at the blunder, before tossing down another white talisman, this time with a variant of the footsoldier carrying an arbalest with a windlass lever hooked on the side. Considerably more dangerous this time, to Kibaru, as the soldier also hurried behind Alloces to benefit from the same protection that the first footsoldier offered in the form of their shield. Alloces nocked another arrow onto his bow and muttered under his breath, causing the projectile to slowly turn an icy white as he prepared his spell.*
Sharon
*Kibaru would then jump out of the tree and put his bow away while doing so. He would then switch into his stance where one hand was on the hilt of his katana and the other in the holder of his weapon (forgot how to spell it) as he look at his attacker. His moode would completely shift as he stared at the arrow keeping his consintration on more then just Alloces.*
Efrain
*Alloces noticed the male jump out, and his gaze on the arrow. He did have several questions, as to why the male had fired a warning shot above his head, had been so passive, and why the wolf tracks led to the tree he had perched on. But as he considered, the more the pieces fit together slowly.*
*After a bit of consideration, Alloces released the arrow into the air, causing it to thud into a nearby tree. With a thin screech of steel upon steel, he fluidly dismounted, holding Eins and Zwei in both hands. His soldiers fanned out to, well, not quite flank Kibaru, but more so of establishing an area within the clearing they were in, the man with the arabalest holding it with the point down, although both soldier summons kept a close eye on Kibaru.*
*Alloces tapped both his long thin blades on each other, before pointing with Eins at Kibaru. A challenge, of sorts.*
Sharon
*He would keep his poses, but now his 4 blue tails swayed in the air at the challane. His ears twitched a bit, each pointing in the direction of the soldiers, while his gaze seemed to be on Alloces. It seemed Kibaru was calm and cautious, not knowing if there we more tricks up his opponents sleves.*
Efrain
*Alloces glowed briefly as he casted Psionic Speed on himself, and he approached, both blades extended slightly at his sides and behind them, cutting edges tilted towards Kibaru. After all, his own fighting style consisted of utilizing a wide range to cut into the opponent's guard and disable them.*
Sharon
Kibaru had no armour, simply tathered pants and jacked, but it seemed targeted as a style. His feet were wrapped in while wraps and he didn't have a shirt, just his steel like mussles showing his battle potential. He was kind of exited to see what would happen. The thumb of his hand resting on his sheathwould move onto the guard of his sword as he readied to draw in a flash*
Efrain
*Alloces frowned, briefly regarding Kibaru, before suddenly swinging the sword on the opposing side, Eins, towards Kibaru's neck in a blur of motion. Due to his speed buff, Kibaru would be hard-pressed to react to it in time, even as the other blade prepared to deflect Kibaru's strike.*
Sharon
*Kibaru to step to the opposite side of the hand wielding eins and he would back up a bit, still in the same state, still seeming like he's about to strike and he would, the second Alloces dropped his guard*
Efrain
*Alloces would follow him, one blade still close by to defend as he simply turned his blade around and reversed the strike from another direction. However, he would make sure to step in closer than Kibaru backed up. The katana was a long blade, and once he got into Kibaru's guard, it would essentially become worthless as a blade.*
Sharon
*Kibaru wouldn't step back this time, but having his general speed already measured somewhat, decided to duck down. He also moved to the side a bit, but moved forwards and would strike. Drawing his weapon with his mastered flash draw, would aim to hit Alloces with the hilt to the stomach*
Efrain
*Alloces would reverse the grip on the blade, simply chopping down with the hilt aimed at Kibaru's head, aiming to knock him out. As for the katana, he would simply lift the other blade, Zwei, directly in the path of the wrist holding the katana. Proceeding would essentially mean giving up the hand. However, if Kibaru was perceptive enough, he might notice that the other side of the blade had been turned to face the katana wrist. It would not draw blood.*
