[Training] Heartbreak survivors

And I feel like my castle's crumbling down
And I watch all my bridges burn to the ground

Sohalia's strike hit true, and she gasped as she made sharp contact with Hadama's cheek. "Hadama!" she said, dismayed. "Why didn't you -?" But then there was a shift, a return blow that Soh wasn't quite quick enough to dodge. She'd seen the Gravity Spikes in action before, but never aimed at her. It wasn't lost on the Luminary that the blow dealt to her hand was a fraction of what the king was capable of. Still, she yanked her hand away with a hiss as the spike struck a glancing blow, scoring a thin line of crimson across the back of her hand.

Shaking her hand, Soh reformed her fist and considered Hadama with a healthy respect. She wasn't entirely sure what he meant in saying there was more than one kind of strength, especially when he'd been the one to invite her to attack by shifting into a defensive stance. Once, she might have asked for clarification. But there was something in the coolness of his gaze that drove the Luminary to try again. This time, she twisted, striking out with a kick aimed towards Hadama's stomach.

And you don't want to know me, I will just let you down
You don't wanna know me now
