High above the earth the crow soared, a intellectual bird much like an raven, save for the greenish blue gloss to its black feathers and the iridescent flecks on the tips of its outstretched wings. It had a crest the color of night, claws, and jet black eyes that looked forward and back across eternity. Approaching the cliff the eccentric looking bird would dive towards it, leaving a trail of black smoke in its stream. Oddly, the smoke immediately began to enclose around its body and from it would materialize a beeline figure, stepping on the rim of the cliff. Pallid hair being pushed back in to a neat little formation as the slim fingers would run through them. A mirthless smile twisted at the lips of the young mans face. The dirt being overwhelmed by his boots, as he paced forward, the little being hurled into the calm breeze cling to his black jeans. At his rear was a onerous blade designed from an alloy by the hands of Asche, the legendary blacksmith.

Pacing and looming about the area, as he wielded the blade in his left hand. Carrying the fragrance of evening, came the gentlest of breezes, causing the black dress shirt to flutter against the contours of his lean, limbs. Sunset at the horizon. The sky like a bashful youth kissing for the first time, blushed with a peach pink light. Given little time before night would enclose upon eternity Crow waited patiently for his adversary to appear.

Laughter breaking inaudibly then halting at the extent where one could hear. As the question was asked the young man named Crow would stare at the beeline figure whom had just appeared. Replying back with a soft tone, though easily allowing him to take the aura of control, a political technique he had come to grasp " That my dear friend I wish to keep hushed" continuing on "Let us dance in the art of combat" slightly moving his right foot back, and bringing the blade to his mid-section. Given the battle was to be fought without powers, the best course of action was to defend, Crow knowing this and simply awaiting the Espada to take the first attack.

Only a presumed change of stream, taking into consideration the mans stance, crow rushed forward. His momentum was quick given the size of his body, and him being naturally being a quick runner. Approaching his adversary and the front left vicinity, the blade in the grip of his left hand moved forwards intentionality to incise right through his midsection. Within the midst of such, Crow like a rat with out its tail, had placed his right left behind the mans left foot. This was to insure if he backed up he would be easily tripped. He hand brought his right hand behind his opponents back intending to place it on his shoulder blade.

Hypothetically the area Crow has picked to attack towards the stomach, this would ensure if Skothantos ducked the blade would incise through his upper body if he moved back he would allow Crow to take the course of battle. Of course the vicinity to his right was open, but given he had put both hand sin his pockets, it would require a monstrous momentum to make sure he wouldn't get hurt in any manner.
