A Masterpiece

Damon had a flushed face when he reached the training grounds. The knights looked at him curiously. 

He watched as they were sparing and decided to join them to distract himself. Damon picked up his sword from the table and walked closer, rolling his wrist as he adjusted his grip. His opponent, a seasoned knight, stood ready, eyes sharp with anticipation. The moment Damon stepped into the ring, the knight lunged, aiming a powerful strike at his side.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Damon raised his blade, parrying the attack with a sharp clang. He countered immediately, twisting his wrist to angle a precise thrust toward the knight's shoulder. His opponent barely managed to dodge, stepping back as Damon pressed forward with relentless strikes.
