Titus smiled a bit as Krutis held his arm, the feeling was mutual, he was beginning to like this woman, "Probably shoulda kept the sword eh?" He joked to her, trying to make sure she could tell he was just fine. He made a swift nod to the man signaling he was ready, he hardly even flinched as the man relocated his shoulder, he even chuckled slightly afterwards.

Vergil was slightly startled by how Caerys was aiming to disarm him and with him being distracted made his block correction weak only catching one prong of the two headed spear while the other got caught between his finger and the blade of his sword. Even still Caerys would receive a quick jolt from the blades enchantments as well as set of a spectacular light show along its blade.
There would be little sense in Caerys getting shocked when using her Impaler. Its shaft was of Iron wood, and the handle thick insulating leather and rubber strips. She pulled on his caught hands, the cruel curves and spikes along the Impaler's blades serving for more than just show, but facilitated weapon manipulation meant to counter sword wielders; he'd either drop his weapon or have sharp metal inside his hands.

The Impaler pierced through Vergil's hand, as it did the sword charged itself with a great enough amount of energy to create a shock wave to force Caerys back. Vergil stumbled backwards his hand bleeding a great bit for the wound. "Crafty one aren't you." He let his wounded hand off the blade and took on a more one handed stance which was familiar with the combat style of league champion Tryndamere but with a little more finesse then brute force.
Caerys's body was twitching uncontrollably for a few moments after the unexpected shock. So this one had magic, did he? She wondered how he worked his sorcery- no gestures, no magic words, but simply by the mind alone?
Then the warrior mage decided to hold his two handed sword with one hand... Now Caerys was just vexed. Did he really expect to fight with such a heavy weapon like that? She moved in to attack, raising her Impaler overhead for an obvious slashing swing- a feint really, as she really intended to thrust downward with the spear's butt down onto his knee or thigh.

Vergil's sword charged itself again this time the shock wave was directed downwards launching him into the air well above Caerys' reach, coming down directly behind her with another outward shock wave. He then whorled around for another go at the gladiator.
Caerys was definitely unprepared for this wild magic wielder, who also seemed to wield a two-handed sword in one hand. His shockwave caused the sand in the training grounds to be kicked up into a large dust cloud, obscuring the battleground but also choking Caerys.
She crouched low and scrambled out of the way, Vergil's landing definitely taking some time to happen, as well as begging for accuracy considering she now had concealment. However it also meant she was blinded- she did not have her appropriate equipment for it, and was on the ground on her back when Vergil landed again.
"...And I thought the Brides were flashy fighters." She commented, likely being some distance away from him. She decided to lure her in by being prone, pointing the spear at his direction, inviting him to attack the vulnerable target.

Sylvia had to shield herself from the dust cloud Vergil carelessly kicked up. She coughed a bit. "My, the Dreadstorm boy's style is quite... outlandish."

Vergil shielded his eyes as he advanced on Caerys his blade dragging on the ground behind him getting to a closer range to reach in with his blade and hold it next to her head. "I figured I would be more impressed with you."
Caerys waited until Vergil was in range. He wouldn't have the time to bring that sword near her head, as she then rolled and thrust her Impaler at him one-handed to make him move- then tossed a handful of sand into his eyes. Caerys was indeed fond of blinding her opponents, especially other warriors, and was on her feet from prone by riding the momentum of her roll.
She took this momentary distraction to renew her assault, attempting now to wedge Vergil's weapon between the two blades of her impaler, and with the flick of the spear disarm him- which should be easier, given he held such a heavy weapon in only one hand.

Vergil stood stunned as sand contacted with his eyes he tried to get it out before he found his blade wedged between the ground the the impaler. "What is this?" He did have time to react as the blade was swiftly twisted from his hands and he found himself unarmed.
Caerys followed up the attack, riding on the momentum of his surprise and the rythm of the fight. She attempted to trip Vergil with a sweep kick, and make him stay down with the spear pointed resting lightly on his chest.

Vergil felt a sharp pain in his heel as his feet were swept out from under him and he tumbled down onto his back. Defeated he stared up at Caerys with a more satisfied feeling that this was the person he was hiring. "It seems that I have been bested."
Caerys made a sly smirk once more, and helped Vergil up, though she stayed away from his sword. "Yes. It seems so. You consider investing in locked gauntlets if you wish to keep your weapon."
"Again, do you have anything else to say about our opponents? And when shall we go to meet them?" She asked, before Vergil went up to the balcony.
On the Balcony
Sylvia applauded Caerys's performance. While there was a little blood that was shed, it was mostly a non-lethal test. "Bravo, bravo Vermilion. You are truly a rising star, a blessing to this Ludus." She then looked at the other mercenaries.
"I do hope you all get along as well. I look forward to a prosperous future with your war band."

"Right now I have to discuss payment but I will be sure to give you a full briefing later." He made his return to the balcony and looked around. "So mister Crohill you were saying she was hurt." He crossed his arms with disappointment in his own mans underestimation.
