<div align="center">Round 1.  Tyger vs Allure.</div><br/>((NPC fights don't require the system but I still don't allow auto-hits for the most part.  Otherwise, go nuts guys and gals.))<br/><br/><div align="center">Medical Labs on DOA Island.  Will move to the Dining Hall for an early breakfast and to watch the fight.  7;25 A.M.</div><br/>Giselle was a little shocked that Tyger didn't wish her necklace.  It didn't have any magical properties to it but it would have still protected him by reminding him of who he was and who he had to come back to, hopefully as he was now before going to take that thing apart.  Still, she nodded solemnly as he gave it back, understanding he needed to do this on his own terms.  The fact that Allure had been paired first against Tyger didn't miss Giselle's mind either if what Helena said was true about her guards turning on her because of that thing.  Seeing him kiss Terra did make the half Drow's heart clench up in a fit of jealousy despite the fact she had never laid claim to the mysterious warrior.  She wouldn't step in now, and besides, Giselle had had bad times with men in the past.  But....she felt for Tyger, but not as she had with her second elven lover until he found out she was a Drow.  That was a story for another time and place though.  "Very well Tyger.  May Meilikki be with you." She whispered, watching him go on to fight against Allure the Desire Demon.  This was not going to be good if he came back and Allure had taken him over or anything like that.  Oh well, she'd deal with that when that bridge was crossed, if it was anyway.  For now, she silently went off to the Dining Hall, not really hungry but needing time to think as Yuna glared at Helena who had already brushed past without a word to her own chambers most likely.  Vincent had left some time ago to the Dining Hall already, and by the time Giselle had gotten there with Yuna in tow, it was clear that the gunslinger's eyes were riveted to the monitor as he sat with his legs up on the table and the chair a bit sideways, his metal hand resting on his lap as the other handled a glass of wine.<br/><br/>Sitting down without a word across from Vincent, Yuna and Giselle also couldn't take their eyes off the screen, Giselle never getting used to the technology this world possessed.  Yuna wasn't so awed but it was still clear she was hoping and praying that Tyger made it back in one piece.  Vincent just didn't seem to care as he idly sipped at the contents in his glass, but if someone were to look closely into his red eyes, they'd see the same worry though in a far lesser degree than Giselle's own brown orbs.  "Kick her ass Tyger.  If you don't and you come back...changed, I don't know what I'll do."  Yuna heard Giselle's fervent prayer and worry and couldn't decide what to do to aid the woman or to ease her nerves.  This was out of her league a bit since demons were unheard of.  There was a classification of Fiends that were called demons sure, but they were mindless brutes compared to Allure who just outright terrified the former summoner.  Thank Yevon she hadn't been paired against that thing.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/><div align="center">Arena 21.  Temple Grounds.  Unknown World and Realm.  7;30 A.M.</div><br/>Allure stood in the center of the stone temple under a dark orange sky.  She didn't recognize this place, but the purple eyed demoness knew that Tyger, her opponent, was close.  If she could possess the man, unaware he was essentially already possessed, she would gain far more power than what she had already.  For now, she had to wear down his resistance to her charms first.  If overpowered, Allure had other tricks to employ but for now she concentrated on trying to find her opponent first.  Examining her surroundings, the Fade creature found she liked this place since it reminded her of some of the temples and sacred grounds back home in Feraldan as well as the Fade she came from in that it was deserted and massive to boot.  Several floors, both higher and lower than the one they were on, was evident from a circular pit to the east, and a spiral staircase to the right leading to a single tower in the sky.  Whatever this place had been, it had been beautiful once, a fact Allure could appreciate despite her nature.  Smiling evilly to herself as she saw one of the many veiwing devices scattered about the grounds, the 'woman' bowed before the camera before turning away and walking towards the pit, the sun in her face but her eyes were not affected by the light.  Beyond the temple walls, she could see a forest that spanned in every direction, although the wall looked unclimbable since it was perfectly smooth.  Waving her clawed hand before her face, Allure turned her purple eyes and smiled as she felt Tyger use magic.<br/><br/>She wasn't about to let him know she knew what he had done.  Instead, it was time to get to work, she figured as her alluring voice echoed across the empty grounds although she didn't seem to be yelling at all, rather speaking calmly and....if such a word could be used for the Desire Demon, seductively, promising everything that a man or woman could ever wish....with strings attached.  "Why do you fight, Were-Tiger?  You are not loved by your own people, yet you choose to stand against me, who can give you everything you could ever want.  Acceptance, a place to call your own, respect for the good deeds you do, and someone that will love and cherish you for all time.  What has the peoples of your world done for you to earn your sword?  Come to me, and I can set it all right."  She purred, trying to draw the man out.  If he came swinging, he'd find a far more formidable force than he would be expecting from such an exotic beauty, but she wasn't aware of what he was capable of either.  There was something far stranger about this man than she was used to.
