The Errant Sword streaked forward, and this time the Radiant One had to react.
He formed a sword of His own out of a beam of light He morphed into existence, meeting the streaking Errant Sword with a loud clash that split the earth and the very air into two clear lines for miles from the point of impact.
Before the impact could stabilize, Finn descended into the clash, abandoning the sword entirely and driving his fist directly into the Radiant One's chest.
The impact sent them both skidding back across the ground, earth tearing up beneath the Radiant One's feet as He absorbed the force of it, and for a moment both of them simply looked at each other.
The Radiant One's expression had changed. The curiosity was gone. What replaced it was the focused attention of a being that had just been made to take something seriously.
