Reflections of Dawn

Fighting for

When everyone in the place is your enemy, it's difficult to decide who to attack first.

As Sebastian reached for another knife, Alysha raised her blade of rock, threatening.
On the other side of the cavern, Luci was now armed, watching everything with calculating eyes.
And this is when Lilith took the opportunity to slip her own wicked blade from the depths of her sleeve.

Everyone watched everyone else, waiting for someone to make a move.

Slowly, step by slow, calculated step, Luci very carefully crossed the cavern, to stand not directly besides Lilith, but at a clear position of who's side she was on.
Alysha blew out a puff. "And just when I actually was considering beginning to like you."

Luci looked at Lilith, as if asking permission.
Face cold and hollow, Lilith gave a swift nod.

Crouching low, Luci touched her fingers to the floor, grinning cruelly at Sebastian.

A second later, a sheet of ice formed across the floor, heading straight for him, catching up statatites and loose rocks in it's frozen web.
He dove out of the way, ice dusting his body at the near miss.

He rolled, pulling out his weapons in a fluid motion, positioning himself so he was shielded by a column of rock. The ice continued on, hitting the wall with an impact that made the rock groan agonisingly, dust littering the room.

Lilith leapt over Luci at Alysha, swinging her blade with intent to kill.
Alysha blocked it last second with her makeshift blade, crying out in pain as the flesh of her knuckles incidentally took the brunt of the slice, spilling blood down her arm.

Sebastian was fighting for control. Luci was fighting to contain. Lilith was fighting to kill. And Alysha.... was fighting to protect.

But not what you think.
