Forward dated about 3-5 days or some shit lol.

Alduin and @Tulok are on their way to their beloved canyon. So far their journey has been arduous. The weather is rough, there’s snow everywhere, but it’s hardly an obstacle for the brothers. Months of training with their father in many types of environment has hardened their exteriors and put them on a vigorous path of destruction.

For now though, they rest. Night has fallen once more, but of course Alduin does not feel the need to sleep. So he gets up from his curled spot in the snow and pads over to his brother. Standing over him he would slap him on the shoulder with a large paw to get his attention. The lightest glint of playfullness swirling in his eyes before he jumps away, a challenge clear in his eyes.

“Get up, brother, I cannot sleep.” He grunts then, widening his stance in the snow with his head lowered, signaling that he wants to train.

Tulok was also having trouble sleeping. But unlike his brother, he had kept to himself, lost in the endless plotting that gripped his mind always. 

So when he felt the large paw smack his shoulder, he looked up and glared at Alduin. He wanted to pass the time another way, and Tulok decided that sounded more fun. They could blow off some steam. Neither of them were tired from their journey, being used to traveling long distances and enduring harsh weather. 

The speaker stood and shook the snow from his thick fur. Then he surged forward and threw his entire body into Alduin, snapping teeth aiming to clamp down on whatever he could reach.

He takes joy in the way his brother glares at him from the paw to his shoulder. Irritating his little brother is something he likes to do as a side hobby. But usually when Alduin’s actually in the mood for something more than brooding and contemplating his existence in life. Still, when Tulok gets up to meet his demands, he’s satisfied. 

So when he makes the first move, Alduin follows suit. Only his brother is able to get a mouthful of his scruff, but Alduin adjusts his fire accordingly. Shooting his jaws towards his shoulder for his next attack.

He landed a bite to his brother's thick scruff only to feel Alduin's teeth in his shoulder a moment later. He was fast, Tulok would give him that, though he would never say it out loud. 

Without releasing his grip, he shoved his weight into the bite. His hope was to throw his older sibling off balance. Then maybe he could take him to the ground.

Unsurprisingly, his little brother is strong. That definitely includes his jaws and when he feels the pinch of teeth around his neck, his lips snarl up to show white teeth. Turning around to snap and bite at him, Alduin would go for any pound of flesh he’s able to before he’s being taken to the ground. 

One of his paws slipped from under thin when Tulok thrusted forward. Still, even on the ground Alduin is a formidable opponent. Kicking heavily muscled legs into Tulok’s softer underbelly, he snaps dangerous fangs at his face (not aiming for anything vital of course).

Tulok went to the ground as intended, and Tulok landed on top of him. But then there were muscled legs kicking at his stomach and formidable fangs snapping in his face.

Tulok remained persistent through his brother's retaliation, aiming his own jaws at the side of Alduin's face to stop his own attack.

His brother’s jaws latch onto the loose skin of his cheek and pulls. The pinch of his teeth make a deadly growl push past wrinkled, snarling lips. Alduin would snap his head the one the opposite direction, uncaring if the pulls ends up making Tulok’s fangs cut into his skin. Not to try and latch onto Tulok’s ear, not worrying about being gentle. Yeah, ears bleed profusely when cut, but it’s not detrimental to his health.

His teeth met his brother's flesh, and he couldn't help the violent satisfaction he felt. But Alduin was just as experienced as he was and quickly made his next move. 

His brother pulled his head away and forced Tulok's teeth to tear through his cheek. Then the demon felt teeth in his ear. There was burning and then the scent of blood; he knew that would scar, but he didn't care. 

He pushed into his brother's head and if the move made him release his hold, Tulok would back up off of him and prepare for another attack.

We can prolly close this one up now :) got plenty of trade posts <3

His brother aggressively shoved his head into his own, which causes Alduin’s jaw to lock up and a pinch of pain to shoot through it. His teeth are relentless though, biting at Tulok as he moves to get off of him and preparing for his next attack. Alduin would not reciprocate it though, thinking that he’s surprisingly had enough for the night.

“Alright brother,” He rumbles out in that scratchy voice of his. “that’s enough.” 

His tongue would rasp out to lap over the taste of blood on his teeth and gaze at his brother approvingly. It was a good spar and he knows it won’t be their last.

okay!

His move worked, forcing his brother to release him. Tulok took a few steps back, his chest heaving from exertion. 

And then Alduin called it. The demon nodded. It was a good spar, he offered. Thank you, brother. He knew they would have many more, and he looked forward to it.
