KIADA

You think I'll be the night sky,
so that you can be the star?

The Harpy listens while they list their names and their abilities, and her icy eyes float toward each one as they introduce themselves. First, to Jyon, and her tiger form (something Kiada finds herself somewhat envious of, but she pushes it away for now), then to Feral as he explains what he’s told her before. She gives him a bit of a smile, as if in her own way she says he can hunt, and that she’s seen it. The next two, she knows of, and she nods to them all in retrospect – the Ascended and the Abandoned Rory, before her head tilts toward Deimos as he begins the instruction.

He lists them off to pairs before taking Jyon and Wessex away, and Kiada gestures for Feral and Rory to follow her, to aim them toward the other end of the training grounds to give Wessex and Jyon plenty of space as well. And with it, she grabs a wooden sword and keeps her attention on the both of them. “We’ll work on attack and defense.” She begins, letting it rest at her side as she gestures for them to decide which side to stand on. Her attention moves toward Feral first. “No magic at this point, let’s focus on the swords lest we set the swords ablaze.” She says with a playful wink. And while Deimos gets into the nitty gritty at first, Kiada isn’t so quick to jump in.

Instead, she takes the sword and inspects it, stepping into the middle of the two men. “Both of these swords are the same length, but your arms won’t be. You need to know where the most power you can get from where you position your arms. If you over extend, it leaves you open. Try to be guarded and protected when you strike, but it takes practice.” She says easily, eyes drifting to both Rory and Feral respectively.

Then she steps back with a smile and small clap of her hands as she sets her own sword down and ties back her dark hair. “Feral, try to attack Rory first. It’s different from a bow, not as quick and you have to be up close. Try to size up your opponent and figure out what sides he may favor and go from there.” She instructs, picking up her sword again and watching.

Feral, Kiada wants you to size up Rory and try to figure out what side to strike at. Rory, practice your defense!

i'll swallow you whole.
