The sun's coming up
The Oerwoud reverberated with another crack of spear against staff, and Melita fluttered away from him much like her title would allude. He let her continue to be the dancer between them, while he stayed the stone. She came in again, swinging a swift cut for his legs. Repeating the same block as he did before, Noah immediately slammed the butt end of his spear into the ground and kept her from smarting his leg or pulling his own weight out from beneath him.
The vibrations ran all the way up the shaft and made his swollen hand sting, and Noah took a step back, lifting his spear to follow. He caught the dead waterhorse out of the corner of his eye, but readily turned his attentions back to Melita. "You sure are fast," Noah said, a small smile breaking the features of his face that had been carved deeply with concentration, "I had to work hard to keep up with you." He reached his uninjured hand out and offered it to her, thanking her for her time.
He didn't forget the waterhorse, though, and added that to his growing list of dead fauna. Would Lena know anything about this?
