I watched as Sagittarius brought his hand together and separated them creating a bow and arrows made of pure light! He and Tarik circled each other locking their gaze.
"Stay back a bit René" Tarik called to me.
I moved back, parallel to Tarik and Sagittarius, watching as Tarik drew étiole céleste. Sagittarius loaded his bow and began firing arrows at Tarik who parried each arrow and gracefully maneuvered his feet like he was dancing. I watched as he thrust his arm forward in an attempt to stab Sagittarius but narrowly missed. Sagittarius was fast and immediately created distance which he used to fire an arrow. Tarik was about to parry this one too but an irregular air current shifted its course upwards and the arrow cut through Tarik's robe, scratching his arm.
"Shoot" he gasped as he clutched his shoulder.
Tarik quickly regained his composure and went flying at Sagittarius who began using his light arrows as hand knives. It became a fast, fierce and close quarters battle with neither side seemingly giving an inch but Tarik seemed to start slowing down. I watched Sagittarius make a wide swing but Tarik ducked and swung his legs around to knock Sagittarius off his feet. Tarik quickly created some distance which at first I thought was a bad idea but then as Sagittarius got up and began to fire arrows Tarik started to weave his feet in and out making fancy spins and spiral movements. Tarik threw Étiole Céleste at Sagittarius and it came around like a boomerang.
"You've done well on your journey my liege." Sagittarius commented.
"Not much else to do but train yourself when you're floating through space for thousands of years." Tarik smirked.
"Well those thousands of years must have given you time to think huh?"
"Naturally"
Sagittarius lowered his weapon. "So when were you going to tell her about everything." He asked nodding at me.
