As Dogura and Yoko pushed through the trees, they finally broke onto the path. "This road will lead us to Tantari Desert, after which we will proceed up the mountain." The samurai walked along the path. Complete serenity. It was spring, and the flowers were blossoming in the trees. It reminded the man of days long passed, when he would walk with his father. Suddenly, Dogura drew his sword in a lightning flash motion, cutting the air in front of Yoko.

Lying on the ground in front of the masked man, were two halves of a deku seed. "Damn Octoroks..." The Vagabond muttered. "Alright boy, on your guard. I didnt expect to be attacked today..." Octorocks emerged from the bushes, surrounding the duo. "Why today of all days?" The samurai sighed, preparing for an onslaught of deku seeds.

OOC: THIS will be an RP battle. I explained it to you earlier. Just do what you do best!

“This is just great! I needed practice after not battling for so long!” The eager wolf jumps up in the air, his blood-red eyes showing no mercy as he let his instinct take over. He has his ten razor-sharp claws out as he lands on an Octorok, piercing the rough, leathery skin of the monster. The Octorok screams in a sharp, monstrous voice (OOC: Can an Octorok even scream??) while the other Octoroks turned and shoot out five Deku Seeds from their tube-shaped mouth. Yoko swiftly jumps off the Octorok to avoid the fast, bullet-like Deku Seeds, his dark blue fur shining in the sun, and left ten bloody holes on the monster’s back. The monster screamed again and became still. Suddenly purple smoke explodes out of the Octorok’s body as it disappeared within the purple smoke. Yoko lands gracefully beside Dogura, the blood of the Octorok dripping from his claws. “Now its your turn.”

Dogura was slightly surprised by the man's skills, even in wolf form. The samurai nodded in affirmation, and shot from where he stood, cutting straight through the nearest Octorok with ease. Landing, he noticed at least seven deku seeds headed straight for him. His arms moved too fast for the eye to trace, but each deku nut hit the ground in halves, manifesting that each elegant swing of his blade had hit it's mark. Dogura appeared just behind one of the enemies, driving his sword through it's skin. The small annoyances seemed to get the point, as they scurried back into the forest. Dogura smiled, as they retreated. Cleaning the blood off of his blade, he returned it to his sheath, and looked to the wolf standing next to him. "Alright. Tantari desert is just beyond these trees. All that extra fur will do you no kindness." Dogura began down the path to the whisping sands just beyond the thicket of trees.

OOC: Beautiful posts. Could use some work, but otherwise, great effort!
