After helping the earth mage, Moon made his way toward the next fight.
His eyes drifted to Alaric and Ace as he moved, checking in on their exchange every few seconds.
Their battle looked like a stalemate. Alaric's golden swords and Ace's daggers continued to clash.
Neither one had gained meaningful ground since the fight began. Both of them were still pacing themselves, still holding something in reserve. The exchange had become a war of attrition, and neither side seemed to be running out of stamina yet.
On the Ascender front, the tide had turned.
Klein's failed assassination attempt had exposed him completely. His cover was gone, and Sierra was still very much in the fight. Tom's presence added another Ascender to the Association's side of the ledger. Ian's earlier injury from Farid was still slowing him down with every exchange.
Farid was pressing him.
Ian's grin was gone, unlike the others, he was heavily injured.
