Sparring With An Audience

The wind caressed Isadora's face, the few strands of her hair brushing against her cheeks.

The sound of the wriggling bridge filled the air as her body swayed back and forth, yet her balance remained firm.

Slowly, she opened her eyes just when the tip of a wooden sword charged toward her face, with a swift swing she knocked it away with hers. Dodging the rest of it speeding toward her.

Everything was slow before her eyes and she was able to adapt.

The wriggling bridge did not dull her movements, she became one with it, allowing the unstable platform to guide her.

The sound of wooden swords clashing in a spar echoed through the air, drowned by the heavy gusts of wind veering through.

Isadora stopped two hits, one aimed at her neck and the other at her side. Her grip tightened around her weapon as she pushed away, stumbling back but quickly finding her footing.
