[Training] spun in winding circles

Zavien

Zavien felt a small sense of accomplishment as Melita was forced to retreat. She was obviously extremely talented and any level of advantage was enough of a win for him. Although the pressure didn't last long as the redhead slid back into his guard. She was just so dang fast! Before he knew it, the wood was smacking against his hip with a burning sting. 

Out of instinct, his hip recoiled from the impact, offsetting his balance slightly. However, he wouldn't be thrown off that easily. Using his sideways momentum, Zavien threw a sideways strike at the woman, the strike angled high at her flank.

I learned that in suffering,
we find the true measure of our strength.
