Before the dust could settle, two figures tore through the thick haze, leaping straight through the newly 'created' entrance of the lodge—!
Their silhouettes barely took shape before they both lunged forward to each other—blades flashing in the dim light as their battle spilled into the open night!
CLANG!
Longsword met twin daggers—steel clashing in a fierce contest of dominance as a burst of sparks scattered into the air, illuminating their locked struggle.
Their gazes met—one sharp with vigilance, the other twisted with a manic grin.
"Ooooh~! Not bad—looks like you haven't gone rusty playing house!" Vivian cackled, pressing harder against his blade. "For a second, I thought you'd gotten soft on me, Sebastian~."
Sebastian exhaled sharply, shoving back her two daggers with equal force—greater even!
"Like hell I will, Vivian," he snapped, irritation lacing his voice. "And you talk too much for your own good."
