[Rhargn Etn]

With Steelfold disappeared into the urban life that was Nexus Prime, Rhargn rubbed at his aches and pains, this mainly being concentrated at the back of his knees. He'd learnt a lot over the cycle, especially this brightening with his Dwarven mentor and he knew that only practice would make perfect, that by using his new found skills in fights he could become more accomplised.

Before this brightening was over though, Rhargn would go through everything he'd learnt. However, first, he though, he deserved a short respite and so laid his mace by the side of the tree and sat back for half a candlemark, soaking in the dying rays of sun light.

With break over the ruffian took up his weapon and bounced between right and left position, altering how many hands he had on the shaft at a time. Ready to go, Rhargn moved his left leg upfront and turned so his left arm was facing forward, his mace being in his right hand and behind him. In this position he moved through the various clock face attacks, first with one hand and then again with his left hand being the guide while his right hand was the driver. He now realized this stance would be the stance that'd he use against slower, more heavily armored opponets.

Next, Rhargn moved his right leg forward, with his right arm facing forwards, and once again went over each attack. This stance would be for those peskier, more atheletic fighters who used fancy swords and the like. As well as going through each attack, Rhargn also used his mace in just one hands only really using the flick of his wrist. This was simply to create weak but fast combos that he could if the oppertunity arose. After time ticked past with the ruffian going over these, he decided it best to work of the defensive manuvers.

He made sure his stance was correct in both left and right positions, and that he pushed himself ever so slightly forward to absorb what would be an invisible blow. As well as this, he kept his elbows and knees bent, to keep flexible and able to respond to attacks from various directions. Each position was practiced with both hands gripping the shaft, sometimes switching quickly from one to another, simulating what would happen in a real fight.

This brightening had been a good one for Rhargn and with a sign of satisfaction, and a quick scan about his field, he said his good byes and headed home to clean his weapon and take a much deserved rest.
