Thessalia nodded, her green hair whipping in the wind. "That's a trick you'll learn when you can command more than one element," she said, her tone calm but proud.
"Pfft, you're praising her too much," Aurelya said, arms crossed as her own rapier hummed faintly with light. "I could combine my elements too if I wanted."
Thessalia gave her a look. "You mean that one time you blew up a cliff trying to 'mix wind and light'?"
Aurelya's cheeks flushed. "That was training!"
Lumberling didn't even hear them, his eyes stayed locked on the battle.
The Legate planted his feet, spear glowing fiercely, and with a bellow, thrust it forward to meet the incoming spiraling blood blade. The two forces collided in a blinding flash, blood and flame against pure might.
It was like a tug of war between titans.
Vaenyra's arms trembled from the strain, her magic burning brighter.
The Legate roared in fury, veins bulging, refusing to be overwhelmed.
