Sword Practice
“I know that. That’s like, fighting 101.”
Marina’s face paled for a split second and then turned back into a smirk. She summoned out her other dagger. “Weapons time” she agreed
Marina charged forward and then flipped behind Blair, stabbing her in the back. “What a stab in the back, literally.”
Marina flipped back over Blair and held her dagger up to Blair’s throat. “You surrender yet?” She says while smiling through the pain of her back.
Marina threw her dagger again, this time pinning Blair to the edge of the doorframe by her shirt sleeve. Then she shielded herself with her arms.
Marina dodged her own dagger and the bomb exploded. She was thrown back against the wall again.
“Ugh” Marina said while standing up. “I don’t think bombs should be allowed,” she said.
Marina looked around and went outside. “I guess I win?” She said.
Marina spun around and stabbed her in the arm.
“Cool outfit. Will it absorb lightning though?” Marina said while summoning a large thunderstorm.
“Why are you just standing there? Don’t you want to dodge the lightning?” Marina asked Blair, confused.
Iz lands here and starts hacking away at the dummies. Tears were in her eyes but she refused to let them fall.
Eventually, she can't take it anymore and the tears start to fall. She sheaths her sword and flies to the woods.
April pulled out his twin daggers and with a blur of bronze and gold, he demolished twelve dummies in a row. Calling upon the power of the Mist, he duplicated them again and again, repeatedly slashing at them until he was ankle deep in sawdust.
Ray had her headphones on, connected to a phone in her pocket. She was humming along a song while destroying multiple practice dummies.
April turned and saw a girl beside him. She seemed good enough and he tapped her on her shoulder. "Wanna practice?"
She took of her headphones, they hung on her neck. " Sure. "
April grinned and pulled out his twin daggers. He eyed her stance carefully and debated his moves.
She spun her spear with both her hands, ready to stop any attack coming her way. She had decided to play defensive for a while.
April twirled his daggers and called upon the Mist. He manipulated the room and bent the corners of the room until the entire area seemed distorted. He stepped ahead swiftly and aimed a blow at her left side.
The spinning spear connected with the knife and pushed it downwards. She kept spinning the spear then suddenly attempted to stab him.
April dodged and aimed his daggers at her arm. He attempted to give her a small scratch and he controlled his hands as deftly as possible.
She stepped back, avoiding it. Her spear seemed to ' disappear ' from her hand.
April smirked, noting the trick. "Not bad, huh?" He said, manipulating the Mist again and disappearing himself. He reappeared behind her and brought his dagger on her arm.
She sensed him behind her and narrowly avoided his dagger. She swiftly turned around and clenched her hand in a fist. Her spear appeared in her hand, the tip pointed at his chest and it was growing in size. And it stopped just a millimetre from his chest, having grown to it's full size.
April's eyes widened and he used his twin daggers to defend himself. He barely dodged and had a gash on his arm. Ignoring the blood, he thrusted the blade towards her unprotected thighs.
This time she wasn't fast enough and got stabbed in her thighs. She stepped back and looked at her wound once she was a safe distance away.
April used a little of his blood and summoned the magic of his daggers, infiltrating her memories and pulling out the strongest ones. Without looking at them, he channeled the energy straight into her wound, projecting them in her mind.
(( I didn't understand. What exactly happens to her when he does that ? ))
((He's the son of Hecate and he can make you relive your memories once he gets access to your blood.))
((Just know that he isn't evil and he doesn't mean to hurt her...))
(( yeah. I know that ))She realised what he was doing. " No, no, no, no,no....... " She muttered as she relived her least favourite memory. It was the strongest one but it was her least favourite one.
April lowered his daggers. He was totally shocked by what he had done to this girl and he froze, not knowing what to do. After several moments, he approached her cautiously. "Umm, are you okay?"
" Yeah, I'm..... I'm fine...... " she said distractedly. She turned her spear back into a ring and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go first! I'm sorry for hurting you, how about I make that up by baking you cookies?" He asked, feeling really bad.
That made her smile slightly, " No need. I just need to be alone for a bit. "
"Okay..." April said hesitantly. "Just know that I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt you... damn powers..." He muttered the last part angrily.
" I know you didn't mean to bring out that memory. It's fine. "
April nodded and watched her leave, sighing as he headed towards the kitchens.
Elena walked in, twisting her ring on her finger. She looked around, finding a cluster of dummies to train against. She tugged off the bronze ring, and it split into twin Celestial bronze daggers.
Kayla grabbed a bow and several arrows and started shooting. She glanced at the dummies and grinned, nocking several arrows at once and cutting cleanly through their heads.
Elena focused on her daggers for a moment, and the bronze gleamed red. She slashed at the throat of a dummy, incinerating it upon immediate contact, and stabbing another in the heart with one movement. They both burst into flames. El turned to the other five, slicing them up and burning them all immediately.
Kayla grinned. "That was wicked." She said, channeling some power into her arrows. They glowed golden and as they came into contact with the dummies, the flames disappeared and the dummies were whole again. "Hey, I'm Kayla."
"Thanks," Elena said, examining her quickly. "Elena. Nice trick." She inspected the dummies, which were now normal again.
"Your fire's awesome as well." Kayla shrugged. "So, are you the daughter of Hephaestus or what?"
"Hecate," Elena replied, putting her ring back on. "Her signature weapons were torches." She threw back her hair, not feeling up for talking. Not that she ever did.
Kayla nodded again. "Hecate, that's cool." She knew this girl didn't want to talk but she was rather lonely so she eyed the girl for a while. "On for a fight?" She challenged, not that she was good but she desperately needed to improve.
“Did you really believe that I was hurt? You gotta do more than that!” She says
