Arastia had always known that Ria was extraordinary, of course. Even when she grew up, she would often play spar with the young girl, surprised at how strong she was despite her young age. Even though she hadn't had the opportunity to train with her very often after the advent of blood supremacy from the Blood Cult, she had still followed Ria's progress from a distant.

Even as Ria charged towards Arastia, the latter saw her Martial Embodiment bloom in all its might, filling the entire room within her mind.
She saw the universe itself within Ria.
She didn't understand what it meant.
Nobody did.
More importantly, she had to face Ria charging at her with a blinding speed, moving faster than the very speed of lightning.
WHOOSH
