Centuries ago,
Zelda was breathing hard.
Fifteen minutes into the spar, Toran had knocked off both daggers from her hands. She could tell at some point that he was partly toying with her even though she had given him a tough time as his breath turned ragged but she knew he was still holding back.
'Holding back!
Why do they like holding back? It's either their skill, strength, friendship, or VERY important information!!!' Zelda screamed in her mind - she was referring to a certain recent occurrence.
Her elbows, knees, and a corner of her cheeks were tainted with soft mud from how many times she had fallen, but she had managed to get up every time, although her strength had depleted.
She had managed to launch two kicks at him even though she had nothing to defend herself with. Toran was surprised because he was expecting her to give up seeing as he was the one with a weapon. Zelda Elsher had intrigued him yet again.
