Her eyes had spun, and when she opened them, Kael stood over her, a big fireball above him and his eyes glowing hot blue.
The heat from the fireball made his image shimmer before her eyes.
Taria grinned. "I lost."
Kaedros nodded in satisfaction and stopped the mana to his spell. The fireball flickered out. "You fought well."
It was better than he expected, truth be told, although he didn't go all out. Her speed and strength were notches higher than his, that last punch was proof of that, and it would have done some damage if he hadn't dodged it.
Her stomach warmed as Kaedros helped her up. It meant a lot to her, what he said.
"Good fight, both of you. Now let's review how this fight..." Thalso said and began analyzing their battle.
And so their second month in Throne of Ruinlight continued, training, fighting, and more training.
