After hearing Kayzel's faint words of surrender, Raze made his decision. There was no longer any point in dragging things out. Why should he continue fighting someone who had already admitted defeat, who had lost both his pride and his will to resist? He turned and began walking away, each step measured and unhurried, leaving Kayzel lying on the ground in silence.
In Raze's mind, the fight was already over. He had achieved what he had set out to do. Kayzel had been broken, not through one overwhelming spell, but through humiliation, through the repeated reminder that no matter how fast he was, no matter what magic he tried to use, he would always end up flat on the floor. Raze had forced humility into him, but that wasn't the only reason he had acted this way.
The truth was, he had another goal entirely. Raze wanted to anger Ibarin.
