Geared Pieces

The skeletal Knight galloped forward, flames trailing behind. It clashed with the Sapphire Cavalier, its blazing lance meeting the Cavalier's frosted weapon in a burst of sparks and steam. The board seemed to tremble with their impact. For a moment, Ty thought he'd finally gain an edge.

But Aldric was already prepared. He placed a Life Coin onto the Sapphire Cavalier, its icy aura intensifying. "Frostbreak Retaliation," he commanded calmly.

The Cavalier twisted with calculated precision, its lance arcing in a counterstrike that bypassed the Marauder's defenses. The Hellfire Marauder faltered, its flames sputtering before being extinguished entirely. Phillis's voice cut through the haze: "Ty's Hellfire Marauder defeated. Ty, two Life Coins remaining. Board status updated."
