After the last failed attempt Rellik was beginning to worry if her strength was slipping away from her, if her mind and these losses were taking a toll on what she believed in, what she believed she could do and what she believed she was. She was a Firekin, she knew it though she was not within the pride yet. It was taking so long but she would keep coming back, she would keep fighting until she was allowed to be embraced by the other lions here.
The male that stood before her in the ope spaces between the dunes wa not the same as before. This one seemed younger, but perhaps the youth gave him strength, those his eyes were capturing and bright in contrast to the red of his pelt. She smiled, and bowed to him, to show respect, mutual between herself and her heart for him to duel her. He most likely did not know of her numerous returns, and that was fine, she needn't have him doubt her now.
At once she lept for him, but the sun was behind him, again she did not notice her surroundings and it took advantage of her. She squinted and her unclawed paw grasped nothing as they touched the sand again.
He already had the upper paw.

As he seemed to stumble as well her hopes were strong in that this would be the last time, her final test, and she was ready to become a full member and come here, come home. She gave a smile but kept herself level headed, trying to not let her miss get in the way of her thinking, she shouldn't cloud her mind with things already done and unable to be redone, she needed to move forward.
Though as they would duel, she did not want to hurt him, just show her worth, not injure him. She had already received enough scars from duels past, it was time to set those ideals aside for this fight, this moment.
She ran at him then, and as she reached out to him, her hit was not hard, only enough to make him stumble, but it was not as strong as she liked.

As he turned to either swipe at or knock down, even topple her over Rellik jumped backwards breathing hard and as he moved, she smiled and reached her arm out quickly to push lightly at his side, not as a taunting jester, but, more fun, not to poke fun, just see if his balance was off at all.
"For someone like me to duel you, preludes seem to cause dissarray, I feel as if I would enjoy your company more than this moment, no offense of course, though sometimes speaking and conversations are much more fun than this," though his company, she hoped, he would realize through this ordeal she was grateful for.
She stood at the ready, offering a smile.
This was more fun than the other times.

His last strike came as a surprise and she wasn't ready, and although it wasn't a hard blow, it was enough to have her tumle onto her side in the sand and sneeze from the pieces that shot into her nose. Rubbing her nose furiously, wet in her eyes she smiled and half laughed, "Oh you got me good there, taking me by surprise," she stood and shook her pelt.
He had strength, endurance and determination, but a will, a will not to just be the best warrior, but a will to know all, and everyone, and she was glad to have met him and have him test her.
Pride swelled in her chest, she was home now, wasn't she?
"It has been an honor to duel you," she said with a bowed head, "To formerly let myself known to you, I am Rellik," and she waited, wondered if this was indeed her time, "And I wish to come home, here."

He was surprised that he had actually made some kind of contact as his face lit up. It was the end!
His tail flicked slightly as he turned back towards her, panting a bit as he dipped his head respectfully in her direction. He was no sore loser, and would admit a defeat. "I am slightly embarassed about my poor performance but I have to admit that my strength doesn't lie in brute strength," He paused, "Regardless, I am very happy to welcome you to my pride, Rellik. I am Vanhi, and if you should need anything, don't hesitate to call me!"
He motioned in the direction of where he had came from, "If you head in that direction, you'll find the heart of our pride. Please take care of the little cubs wandering around." He advised her before he turned to head off, but not before a short farewell, "I hope we can meet up again, Rellik!"
