HOW DOES A HUMAN TAKE away their pent-up frustration?
It's a question I've been asking myself for years. As you might've guessed, I'm the type of person who gets frustrated really, really easily, which means I need some sort of release regularly. Some people listen to music (tried it once, doesn't work that well), others jog (I'm too lazy for that. Who the hell runs with no destination?) and people meditate.
But me? I like to take away my stress the fun way: by beating Kristyn Dalton a game she plays best. Swordplay.
The sound of our weapons clashing pulls me back to reality, making quickly block an amateur move from my blonde friend. Kristyn moves quickly, taking a swing at me, which I easily block with the shaft of my spear. I parry the move, swinging the sharp tip of my weapon close enough to graze her face. Just as I expected, the girl moves back to avoid my blade. Perfect.
I advance once more, predictable enough for her to block and slow enough to make her annoyed. Kristyn, being a child of Ares, hates many things, but what she despised most of all was a predictable fight. It made her frustrated and annoyed, and on my lucky days, it made her the one thing that made many heroes fall in battle: arrogant.
"Are you playing to win?" Kristyn questiones as we circled each other, her accent as thick as ever. "Or not to lose?"
"I'll let you decide," I remark, thrusting my spear in her direction. Another predictable move.
