*The boy with my face has grown stronger in the last few months." good" every fight up until now has been uninteresting. He landed strikes that invigorated me, he even pushed me back a few times. The pure thrill flowing threw my whole body so powerful I couldn't help but smile for the first time in years. This boy, matched me and I could not be more pleased. I don't think he has yet to reach his full potential he has more, much more hidden away, but how could I push him further. Oh! I know I think. Going to try to make him think he is about to die, push him to the brink and see where it takes us. Ducking under a flurry of kicks and throwing a spinning back kick to create space. bringing the power within me to my fingertips. My fingertips began to glow a deep hue I made symbols then clapped my hands together in one quick motion the air started to vibrate as the pressure built between my hands forcing them together one more breath. The boy and I locked eyes his were wide and blue the i unlocked my hands, a blue glow flowing around them taking that energy I slammed it into the ground. The Earth shook and ripples flowed out from me like an epicenter of an earthquake, after a few moments everything stopped the kid yelled at me " what did you do" then it began to rain weapons. Inside this colosseum the roof turned into a foggy opaque grey wobbled for a second then speirs, fist weapons, bow staves and weapons of every kind started to fall down. It was done I quickly spunn and grabbed the black spiked fist gauntlets off the dusty ground and put them on this was getting more exciting every moment.
**I didn't think anything could shock me so much after that earthquake I think this guy made. He literally made an earthquake then if that wasn't crazy enough weapons started to come from the roof I nearly got cut to ribbons. What the fuck was I supposed to do the man quickly moved to grab something I didn't see what but it was probably sharp. Quickly grabbing the first thing closest to me, a staff that I had no idea how to use but it began to spin in my hands. That's weird, I thought this seems familiar. Before that thought didn't have time to fully Finnish the blur of a man was attacking me I dodged and parried using the staff to try to make distance his first were heavy but I spun them aside backing up and trying to counter but he gave me no opening for it . Every second, every breath I took the staff felt more at home in my hands, as I worked and twirled it around becoming a blur of motion now not just moving his attacks aside I was slamming them down with force. He made a weird movement he stepped one way but he wasn't there. Crack. He drilled his fist threw the staff deep into my body, if the staff haddent flexed and absorbed most of the blow I would be dead. tumbling backwards grabbing the next weapon my hand came across. My right hand closed around something with a soft leather grip and my heart beat once so loudly then again louder as I brought around a plain one handed double edged sword. I could feel power unlike anything I've ever felt before power welled up a white light overcame me. Looking down from above a blue caped man walking with a long stride, impossibility long and fast. His cape like the ocean flowing it gave off the feeling that it was alive and powerful. At his hip a sword but I can't quite see it's engravings the cape swirled more and more as I struggle to keep pace then he was gone. Stopping to look around me everything was barren the land looked like it was scorched in every direction the sky was dark massive gauges turn from the ground all over. Was this a scene of a huge battle? Feeling a tug I flew backwards slamming into my body goosebumps running down my arms. It felt like jumping into a pool of pure energy, was it this sword, no it was just a normal sword nothing special.

The boy tumbled back as I struck him with my shadow step he instinctively grabbed a sword while he was rolling head over heels backwards and came to a halt. Something changed in his eyes they grew to a deeper more vibrant blue, the boy who I have been fighting up until now was no longer he looked more mature. He had a regal way of standing with sword in hand. up until now he was always slightly off balance but now with sword in hand he was perfectly balanced,a phrase came into my head and I whispered it "king of swords" my cheeks hurt I didn't think I could ever have so much fun, I moved like a jaguar pouncing on his prey.
Coming to my senses the man that I have been fighting didn't seem as dangerous as he had a moment before. He came at me again this time he felt like a toddler trying to fight a full grown lion. Even though I have never held a sword my body, my body knew every motion every stance, a deep breath clearing my mind letting my body and mind flow. With more force than necessary I struck his attacks aside causing huge shockwaves That made the whole arena tremble. My feat, body and arms flowed around in perfect harmony and I struck him 3 times quick and precise, shoulder ribs thigh. Blood spurted from all three spots but he didn't let up. He tried to do the same move but this time I saw everything I could see sweat glistening the dirt and sweat deep in his pores I could even hear his heartbeat in rhythm with mine. He went left then appeared on the other side and I easily deflected his attack and struck again two more cuts deep in his arm he began to slow. " Stop this if we continue you will die" he kept on attacking me as I struck him again and again each time my sword instinctively wanted to hit a vital spot but I struggled to just miss, I didn't want to kill him but if this continues he would die from blood loss nonetheless. He rushed at me for the last time I took a steady breath stepped forward and cut diagonally so hard the blade made a void that lacked air because the cut itself displaced it so fast it made the sound of thunder. The sound Echoed across the arena and the man with my face, with my voice was cut perfectly from shoulder to hip, he fell forward almost in slow motion. When he hit the ground he shattered into blue light the light oozed towards me soaking into my skin and I remembered.
