Thalassa
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
And there are many paths to tread
Finally free of his hold, Thal stepped back to take a gulp of fresh air. She didn’t let herself pause for more than a second, already preparing for another strike. The satisfaction of hearing his acknowledgement settled in her chest and she gave him a cocky grin. ”There’s lots more where that came from.” Having spent her time brawling against pirates and drunkards, she’d had to find a way to use her small form as an advantage. That meant quick and flexible dodging with strong kicks to supplement her weaker strength. The sharp, fast blades were a bonus in managing further damage. So with a flourish of the dagger, Thal lowered in her stance again, smiling confidently. ”If you insist.”
Being too close to fully dodge his next attack, she dropped the handle to catch it in her other hand, taking the hit. Although she moved back slightly to lessen the blow, it still had her grimacing as she stepped into his guard to land a final hit. She used the turning momentum to flash her opposite arm forward with her switched dagger, aiming for his lower abdomen again. This time she was prepared for the impact and didn’t hold back her strength. He asked for it after all.

Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Until the stars are all alight.
