Looking straight ahead, she scanned the beautiful woman with long, scarlet hair that reminded her of a beautiful sunset.
Katarina.
She was wearing her light clothes and had a tense expression while holding her long, curved saber.
What was so special about this woman?
So special that Kieran pledged her as his lover?
Would the outcome had been different if she was in her place?
She was curious, mystified and puzzled. So, when the chance came, she grabbed it with both hands.
"I am ready!"
"I'm ready too."
With Katarina and Neria nodding, Kieran affirmed.
"Start."
As the match began, Katarina took a big step forward, rotating her body on the axis of her foot. With a light movement like a butterfly spreading her wings, she bolted toward Neria.
Neria stood still and waited as the beautiful and splendid sword dance approached.
When she reached close range, Katarina charged faster than she had been showing.
A surprise side cut.
– Kang!
Neria raised her shield to block it off.
