You adopt the Lynx’s defensive stance - you have already faced this monster, and you know how hard it hits.
The first swing comes to the right, but something — a hint, or perhaps a whisper that brings a scent of summer and dry grapes — tells you it’s just going to be a faint and in fact the next strike just comes as a thrust, the warrior lunging forward as its metal boots skitter on the floor.
“Ah,” you pant, managing to avoid the lunge, if barely, even as the movement puts you with your back to the wall. But this also gives you a better position from which to strike.
Thank Master for his unrelenting training - you switch stances immediately, the Lion’s pounce allowing you to push with your weapon against the other, shearing through the warrior’s defence, just as Willow strikes at its from the side with her improvised weapon. It’s not going to replace her sword, but as always when it comes to melee combat, Willow is a thing to behold. She dances as if in the midair, her braid dancing with her, Carnaval’s feather cutting through the air. The warrior raises a hand to intercept the blow as it tries to withstand your sword’s edge.
“Again!” You plead, and Willow pulls back, screaming as she strikes once more.
