Fetch Quest X

We threw our knives. Each connected with the sound of metal against flesh. We kept throwing the knives until the kobold couldn't move anymore.

 

I dashed forward as the last knife left my hand, closing the gap in split a second. I jumped forward, slashing the kobold across its body, and sending it to the ground.

 

I shouted to Xuelian, she dashed forward with spear in hand. Driving her spear into the ground pole vaulted into the air.

 

Body posed to strike.

 

Spear at her side, poised to strike.

 

Beautifully executed, she seemed to fly through the air, and with a crash she came down impaling the beast with all her weight.

 

The kobold's health hit zero. Its body tensed, then relaxed, and then dissolved into nothing.

 

"Xuelian, that was amazing!"

 

"Oh, that it's an imitation of an arte, [Heaven's Fall]."

 

"Oh, I forgot about artes. Wait, you said it is an 'imitation of an arte,' what do you mean?

 

"I just preform the motions of the arte without actually using the arte."

 

"Huh, that awesome. I wonder if I can do it too?"

 

"Maybe? We should head back."

 

"Yeah, we probably should."
