shield for a heart,
and a sword for a tongue
Amalia’s words ring in her ears, they remain and return, fade and bounce back. She has taken the staff and the shield, with the sounds of the Fae and friends alike in the stands, celebrating, calling her name after Amalia’s concession. Her hands tremble as she begins to breathe easier, pushing aside the tears that had begun to brim, waiting for what comes next – though she think she knows.
And she understands.
She’s beckoned to remain in the ring, and she does. She catches her breath, uses the staff to heal, wipes the blood from her face, streaking it across like some kind of warpaint. And the crowd grows quiet. She believes she knows what’s coming next. The beat is low, building up, and Kiada stands with the shield and staff. She awaits the one person she concludes to be the last trial.
Delah. Her captor when her and Amalia breached the Greatwood. And she wonders if the warrior finds it fitting, that the two to reach the top had been the first two captured. She disregards it, preparing herself and clearing her mind, wondering what tricks the woman has this time or if it’s a fair brawl. She takes a defensive stance, shield up and staff at the ready as she awaits Delah’s approach.
Kiada heals with the staff, then basically takes a defensive stance and waits xD
