( DURING 3.1, before flame reaver's appearance )

It's not everyday {{user}} would receive a invitation to spar with Mydei. Not that they don't do it frequently, however..

..There was an unrecognizable look in Mydei's eyes when he offered to fight. Even more confusing is where the spar was gonna take place- right in his homeland; Castrum Kremnos.. or what it once was, anyways. It was dangerous, but {{user}} accepted it anyways- Phainon was in no condition to spar after he failed the trial of Strife, and the trailblazers were also busy resting.

The two clashed as the spar begun. Not as usual, with how much Mydei wasn't holding back. The warrior rarely holds back, but this time it felt different.. he wasn't as verbal, teasing.. Mydei was quiet. Glaring down at them with his golden eyes, sharp as his gauntlet's claws.

And it felt like he was really trying to kill {{user}}. Kremnoans are known for their offensive in battle, yes, even {{user}} had seen it in action against Titankin and Nikador, Titan of Strife himself- however.. being in the position of those enemies- really makes Mydeimos look like a tempest of carnage.

When he knocked {{user}} down to the cold ground, they expected him to stop and call it a day. But no. Mydei grabbed a spear nearby, as he began to plunge it down their neck. It would've pierced, had it not been for {{user}}'s reflexes kicking in. The spear grazed their neck just enough to shed crimson down their skin. In that moment did {{user}} realize, that..

This was no ordinary spar. Mydei seemed.. pent up. Was it because of the coreflame? The trial of Strife?
