Chapter 7 : Toe to Toe


As Owen and Arielle finished their successful mission, the leader approached them and requested them to train together. Owen had no objections, but Arielle looked hesitant at first.

The training ground was spacious, surrounded by tall trees and a few wooden poles scattered here and there. They stood across from each other, ready to begin their mock battle. Owen knew that he was a good fighter, but he had never fought against someone as skilled as Arielle.

The fight began, and it was clear from the start that they were evenly matched. They exchanged blows, blocked each other's attacks, and counterattacked with impressive agility. The onlookers watched in awe as the two magic-less fighters danced around each other, their movements almost poetic in their grace.

As the fight went on, Owen began to feel something stirring within him. It wasn't just the thrill of battle but something deeper, a sense of admiration and respect for Arielle. He tried to push it down and focus on the fight, but it kept creeping back up.

Suddenly, Arielle attacked with a fierce strike, and Owen barely managed to dodge it. He stumbled back, panting heavily, and for a moment, he thought he had lost. But then, he gathered his strength and launched a counterattack that caught Arielle off guard.

The fight ended in a draw, and the two fighters stood facing each other, panting and sweating. Owen looked at Arielle, and for a moment, their eyes met. He felt his heart skip a beat, but he quickly composed himself and nodded in respect.

As they walked away from the training ground, Owen felt a strange mixture of emotions. He admired Arielle's strength and skill, but he also felt drawn to her in a way that he couldn't quite explain. He knew that he couldn't act on these feelings, not when they had a mission to fulfill.

Arielle, on the other hand, seemed focused and determined, with no hint of emotion on her face. Owen wondered what was going on in her mind, but he didn't dare to ask. They walked in silence, ready for whatever challenge lay ahead.
