Aiden held his sword above his head in a wide stance. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a few seconds, and when they opened, he shot forward. His speed was impressive, covering the distance between them instantly.
He went for a slash first, but Arith was unfazed. The sword bounced off her invisible defense, and then she moved in for the counter, attacking with a kick to his head. Aiden pulled back, dodging the attack, but she didn't relent.
She charged forward, launching another kick, but he dodged that as well, going under the kick and then coming up with a stab, only to be blocked again. Immediately he pulled back and retreated a few steps.
Arith stood there looking at him, her smile remaining on her face.
