Title: Fight On Rating: PG Length: 220 words Competitor: Yuki Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: You take heart from the ones you love.
-----
“Push forward!”
Keladry parried a cut with Griffin, spinning and ripping deep into a Scanran belly. Her own cry rang in her ears, as did the battle-cries of the soldiers around her. This was the final onslaught; Scanra had one last chance to score a wound on Tortall and she was giving it all she had. This battle would be the one to decide whether the warlords would support Maggur or not.
The defenders of Tortall would not let this happen.
Beside Kel, Merric ducked under the swing of a war-hammer and hamstrung its owner. She wished fervently for the might and fury of Peachblossom, but he had taken an arrow in his leg and she had left him back in Corus with Daine.
“They’re giving way!” Wyldon roared. He had lost his helm long before, and his raging face was streaked with blood. “Give them nothing more!”
New Hope was a mere couple miles behind them. All along the border, Scanrans were desperately pushing against Tortall. If one battle claimed a victory for the savage country, it could turn rekindle the dwindling war. Morale could make or break a country.
In a break in the fighting, Kel took a brief second to touch the cold steel of a lady’s shukusen at her hip, and then pressed forward.

Eeee! I love how you've caught the fervor of battle, and how understated but powerful the Kel/Yuki is. Lovely!
