Thud. Itzal growled, pulling the dagger from the wood that he had just struck. There was to much force in his strikes. His dagger kept getting stuck in the wooden target that he had been practicing on. He looked over the dagger, noting that the blade was still sharp and even from when he sharpened it. He slid the dagger into the sheath at his thigh, then he drew his sultan knives and grinned, backing up and taking his stance in front of the target. It felt good, releasing all of his pent up energy. But Itzal would have preferred that it wasn't wood his blades were sinking into. He wanted it to be flesh. He wanted to have the challenge of facing an actual person. Itzal wanted to spar.
The training grounds were becoming a favorite place of Itzal's. He had been here a few times since his first, when him and Axelle sparred. He smirked, thinking about that. Then his smirk faded some, thinking about Axelle and Malakai. Itzal hadn't talked to Axelle since that time in the cave, and he worried about her. He wasn't sure if she had told Malakai yet, though he doubted that she had. If she had, she would have told him by now. Itzal growled, thinking about her still with Kai, and he took out all of his anger on the wooden target. At first he just hit the target with the knives wrapped around his hands. Then he started to add in punches. He kept on punching the wood until his knuckles split and blood seeped from his hand. He stopped, looking down at the blood before laughing. "How pathetic." He said, shaking his head as he looked around. Itzal put his knives back on his belt before looking over the target, noting the spots of blood on the wood that matched where his fist had hit. He laughed without humor again, before looking around for something else to do.
