Despite all the training my grandmother and mother put me through there was nothing that they could do to truly prepare me to face something like this monster in battle. Nahuel from all I had learned had been a clan leader for centuries and had even fought my grandfather at full power and nearly one… That had me worried, sure I had my grandfather's power but I had no idea how to truly use it. When I used it against him I was working on instinct and adrenaline and ever since then I was trying to work out how to use it but nothing came from it. Not even my grandmother knew what to do so she told me to forget it and focus on what I did know. Which meant the powers I got from my schoolmates and my natural born abilities as being a Nosferatu half-breed. The two days of training went by quicker than I would have liked and soon I was standing on one side of an empty football field while Nahuel stood on the other. My grandmother, mother, father, Gigi and Clawdeen were standing off to the side while Ms. Havoc was perched on one of the goal posts like a bird.
Before coming to the battlefield my grandmother and mother forced me to dress in what would now be known as my 'battle' outfit. Apparently duels among semi-immortal beings were not just about fighting they were also a show of force, and a fashion show. So, I was now wearing a long red leather duster with a huge mantle, seriously it looked like it should be on the set of a western, dark cargo pants with brown boots, along with a plain gray t-shirt, along with my mother's necklace around my neck. My normal black hair was resting in its normal position but sadly I couldn't wear my beanie.
Nahuel was wearing a jungle/tribal outfit he had on a stone bracelet on each wrist and ankle, and a few feather's in his hair and a leopard skin hanging around his shoulders, along with some kind of leather skirt and bone necklace made from what I assume is several fangs and claws of different animals.
"Now are both duelists ready?" Havoc called from her spot.
"Si." Nahuel said staring at me his red eyes glowing in the darkness.
Taking a deep breath, I allowed my vampire-half to take over for the moment, I would need the strength it provided and the power. "Let's get this started." I said my tone of voice changing from the nervous teen to a battle hungry vampire.
"Begin!"
With blinding speed Nahuel and I charged down the field toward one another, as I ran my duster blew behind me like a cape. The moment Nahuel and I got within striking distance of one another my body morphed into mist. The brown-skinned man ran straight through my misty form and since he was expecting some form of resistance he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Quickly changing my body back to a more solid shape I channeled the powers of ice through my hands and blasted the jungle-dweller in the back.
"Ahhh!" The sub-zero temperatures were not something Nahuel was used to which meant I had the distinct advantage for the moment but the moment I saw his body changing I dropped my hand and quickly shifted into my bat form as Nahuel's body became a rather large black panther. Flying into air beyond his reach I watched in horror as the panther's form changed yet again this time becoming a large vulture with patches of red fading to yellow on its head and a black/white body. Spreading into the air Nahuel chased after me with I swear a smirk on his beak as his massive talons rose in order to catch me. Quickly I shifted yet again forming my body into its humanoid shape. Grabbing onto the monster bird's legs I grinned. "Hey, try this on for size!" My hands began to glow brightly before catching fire.
"Caww!" Reaching his long neck down Nahuel tried to peck at me so I would let go but I kept my grip and avoided his beak as I did my best to light this bastard up, however Nahuel had enough and shifted into a fine mist dropping me. Falling to the crowd I closed my eyes and the world around me seemed to vanish with a 'wuff' sound and when I opened my eyes again I found I was on the ground again.
A rather large thud caught my attention as Nahuel had changed back to his human form. "How, how did you do that?" He glared at me.
Smirking I flexed my fingers. "Fuck you that's how."
Letting out a growl Nahuel charged toward me his body changing again into that of a large black panther, shifting my form I forced myself to remain as a shadow and when Nahuel was within reach the shadowy tentacles that acted as my body wrapped around him and began to strangle him, while other parts of this form began to bind his legs. This was the plan; my grandmother gave me. See when it came to power Nahuel and I were pretty well matched with us both being dhampirs. However, Nahuel was the more experienced fighter but if I did my best to make him angry or cause him enough pain to where he would lose his cool then I could entrap him like I just did. The shadowy tendrils that were wrapped around Nahuel began to either burn with fire, or cool his body with freezing ice. The mixture was… interesting to say the least Nahuel was shouting, and growling in pain.
This is it… I'm going to win, I could win this…However something went wrong Nahuel's body began to grow and expand and suddenly my body changed I was no longer a mass of shadows… I was in my human form, and standing above me was a ten-foot tall giant bat like creature with red eyes.
"Enough, you have forced this upon yourself D." He spoke without his mouth ever really moving. "No one has ever pushed me to this form expect for your grandfather so you should consider yourself proud."
Letting out an ear-shattering screech Nahuel tried to eat me but with some quick movements I dodged out of the way. "Holy… How am I supposed to…" Panting I stared at this bat-creature in horror… There is no way I could fight this thing… and now that he's pissed he's out for blood. Wait… the bigger he is it means…Gritting my teeth I changed into my dog form and began to run around the field quickly dodging out of the stomps from either his feet, or wings and making sure I avoided his teeth I somehow could circle him before he could keep spinning around and jumped with my paws out stretched and my mouth open I bit into the bat monster's massive thigh drawing blood.
Letting out another ear-shattering screech Nahuel tried to shake me off. Doing my best to keep my grip by digging the claws of my front paws in I used my back legs to scratch him while I drank his blood. However, I was finally shook loose and as I fell to the ground Nahuel pinned me with one of his wing arms and glared down at me.
"Did you really think that was supposed to seriously hurt me?" He snarled lowering his massive head down toward me, drool dropped from his fangs.
Letting out a grin like a certain bronze-haired idiot I shook my head. "Wasn't supposed to hurt you that bad, just need your blood." Opening my mouth, I let out a screech similar much like the one he used when in pain. The effect was immediate, my fellow dhampir's face lit up with pain his ears bleeding, quickly Nahuel shifted back into his human form which gave me enough time to get back up to my feet, running up to him I lit one hand on fire and the other started to freeze. Gripping his head dug my thumbs into his eyes. Nahuel screamed in pain trying this best to claw at me, but I refused to let go I pushed further. Until I felt something rip me away from the Nahuel. Looking up I saw the form of Havoc who was grinning at me.
"The winner is clan leader Renoir." She said her voice retaining that hollow echo from before.
Blinking I stared down at Nahuel confused. "I won?"
