This is a bit of a blog for Quad's "I want to learn to Fight..." Blog, Since Quad said the best way would be to RP I thought I would make a blog specific for said RPing so that we can keep a good track of it.
Nightmare might not be the best teacher in the world but he's willing to give Quad a few tips and tricks of the trade if he would like to learn them 
Fighting... it was one thing that the giant blue had learned to accept no matter what. It happened a lot with him, and he was prone to violent acts when the need rose it's ugly head. But tonight he had gotten a bit of wind, perhaps the whispers of a small dove talking to him or speaking with those that he had adopted in as his family. Someone was looking for teachings, a tutor of sorts. And while he didn't exactly look much like someone that would actually take on a 'pupil' of sorts to teach his fighting style to Nightmare was prone to giving guidance when required.
Only recently had he taken on the task of teaching Sonan, his adopted daughter, some ways to defend herself should she ever be faced with a situation where her speed and agility could not help her. Brute force, but style was something he knew how to work with but due to his size there were many downfalls to what he used to fight others. A thin snort slowly came out of the giant as he walked along tail swaying slowly behind him as he browsed through the calm and rather peaceful forest.
He had 'scented' the buck out earlier in the evening and when he finally saw the other within the distance Nightmare carefully made his way over to the others form. Intimidation was one factor that often played to the giant blue's style, most were intimidated by those looks, especially those jaws... but that wasn't something that he often considered. Dipping that large skull down slightly to get a closer look at the other stag he chuckled softly "So I've heard from a few that you desire to learn some ways to fight..." Nightmare let out drawing his head back up "If you would like, I could show you some of my ways of dealing with others... and perhaps, you can show me what you have learned from others..."
Quad was nearly startled when
He bows here, "My name is Quad, by the way. May I ask what yours is?", he asks his mentor in a polite manner.
There was a soft chuckle as
"One thing you will learn is that in a fight, you should target the legs. Everyone has their perks and weaknesses but they all share one major one. If you can get the legs, you take out power... after all... if your attacker and opponent cannot stand they cannot damage you." That was something he had learned all too well, given his size... and his inability to be fast and Agile it was easy to pick off those blind spots.
"Disorienting your opponent is also a good strategy... I'm not sure if you have the head for it but giving a good... and well timed butt to the head is a good technique for such things. Especially if timed right and hit hard enough. It can give you an opening to use a more... powerful attack."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad nods here. "Queze
He shakes his head here, "But I'm not sure if that is really what you'd like to hear. Tell me, is there anything in particular you'd like to know about from what I learned from the others?"
"A very noble cause...
A nod came from him, shifting some he turned and moved a slight distance... to watch and observe whatever it was that the other decided to show him.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad nods here, and stepping
"It's very essential to protect your ribs, too. Queze also taught me this, that small horns can actually penetrate through the ribs and puncture vital organs...I also learned not to expose my throat or stomach too much either, as they are just as vulnerable."
Straightening up, he turns to Nightmare. "So...what else can I learn from you?", he asks out of curiosity.
The giant blue watched the
"For instance, if you manage to knock them back you can then rear up... and use your head as a means to daze them even further. A swish of that long tail, and the stag reared up some... using that skull of his and ducking it down... a couple times in fact, as a series of rather quick headbutts "If done right, you can daze them... or even knock them out to avoid anymore damage done to yourself or your loved ones..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad nods again. "Someone
The blackbuck speaks a little more, "I can see how effective dazing an opponent could be too. I'll certainly keep that in mind while in a fight. Many of the deer who taught me before stressed being relentless in attacking."
"Be relentless but not to the
"Now... what do you do if your opponent rears up on you? Do you continue with your strategy of shoving them back? Or... do you seize the opportunity to strike a vulnerable weak spot?"
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad never really considered
Nightmare chuckled and nodded
"Disabling is one thing, but if your opponent has lost their mind and is completely unstable you might have to considering the ultimate option... to kill them." There was a long silence as nightmare shook his head before he lowered his head down shifting and spreading his legs out acting like a brace for an invisible opponent "Even when someone has not reared up high you still have an opening to hit their chest or throat... if you lower yourself down close to the ground and brace yourself they will not have the time to respond and your body will take the blow while they land on your head and antlers..."
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
"I see...so even if I don't
But then he shakes his head, "Remember Iugulare. Remember what she's done. She's killed my friends...even my family..."
He stares into Nightmare's eyes. "If it's that serious...I have no choice."
The beast watched him
"The thing is, killing often comes as an instinct... an adrenaline rush, fight or flight... if you are backed into a corner with nowhere to run the fight option triggers. If you are injured to the point where you cannot run you will do everything in your power to defend yourself. I've found myself down that road a few times before..." There was a nod of his head and he showed the major cracks that lined that massive skull.
"And when it doubt if they are rearing up on you, there is always an opening at the legs... if you break a leg you disable them. Trust me when I say it takes awhile to get used to just having three legs." There was a chuckle as the stag glanced down, his one leg wasn't like the other... not in the least, it was a normal deers limb to be honest that was slowly developing to become like his good limb.
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad hadn't even noticed that
He isn't sure if there was anything else to learn from Nightmare, but he offers the chance to say more of what he was taught if the other stag wanted to hear anything in particular.
A soft chuckle came from
"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Quad smiles here, "And let's
Bowing, he turns and begins to walk off, more confident than ever that he had learned so much more from another teacher.
