The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Winter's Arrival

Kiyan's POV

Elsa and I are in the arena for I recovered from my fever and we're about to have a sparring practice. I stretch my legs and held the wooden stick I'm prepared now. Elsa said to me Let me remind you that this is just a little sparring training, not the Arena of Valor.

I blinked What do you mean?

She replied firmly First - you just recovered from your fever, and the second is you might beat me to a pulp like what you did to Sir Stein and Janus.

Sweat rolled down my cheek as I chuckle dryly I don't know if it's a good thing that she reminded me of it

Elsa held her stick with both hands You better get ready. I held mine with one hand Come at me. She ran towards me and swung the stick towards my head, I simply blocked it. I let Elsa go offensive as I block every swing she brought to me, I made a few swings on her but her reactions are fast that she blocked and evaded them.

After dueling for a short while, she managed to parry my stick and lightly hit my stomach, immediately leaping back before I could retaliate on her that my swing hit nothing but air. I suddenly notice that the sky went dark with heavy rainclouds present.

I immediately leaped back when Elsa suddenly appeared before me. As she swung again, I parried her stick away that it flew out of her hands and hit the top of her head.

Elsa sat on the ground and held her head Oouuch! I froze That was my weakest swing!

I went beside her Are you okay?

She pouted You're horrible, Ki'!

I gulped But I didn't hit you full force, it was just...you know. I notice the slight bump forming on her head in no time, I struggled not to laugh but I did anyway.

She said glumly It's your fault. I replied I'm sorry, okay?

Elsa kept her upset silence as we went back to Miss Lili's house, which really bugs me. I insisted I'm really sorry for hitting you, Els'.

She comtinued pouting You're going to pay for that one day.

We're passing on a street when Elsa stopped and went to a shop, looking through the glass window What is it, Els'? She asked excitedly Isn't that dress pretty?
