Title: First Test Rating: G Length: 179 words Competitor: Raoul Round: Finals! Summary: Sequel to Arrival.
She opens the door carefully, and steps in like the meek girl she used to be. She’s confronted at swordpoint by a man with more presence then she could believe. She doesn’t know whether it’s the sword point, tracing a line across her skin, or the fact that his height and muscled build, intimidating and commanding, or that his eyes and thick curls remind her of a man more suited to teaching children their colours.
She stares at his unrelenting expression, and the tight grip he has in the sword. She acts, mainly because she knows that it is a test, or because it’s just an instinct. She pulls her own sword out, noticing his grip doesn’t change, and swings it into his own. They spar in several quick drills, testing, and she wraps her sword around his, twisting, and then her sword flies across the side of the room. She blinks at the shiny steel hovering at her nose, and he turns and sheaths his sword.
“First test passed, Keladry. But this was just the first of many.”
