“Their first clash sent shockwaves through the sand as the strike of his blade nearly sliced through her shoulder. She twisted away, countered with a kick that forced him back. She knew he was powerful—ancient and formidable—but she was trained and confident, her agility an advantage since she wore no armor... The fight escalated—a brutal exchange of blows, dodges, and calculated strikes. He fought like someone who had seen centuries of war. But she fought like someone who refused to die.” Fantasy FictionBattles In Life Book:Quest: Mortal Path Book Four Source: Quest: Mortal Path Book Four
