In the Heat of Power
Three months ago her bony frame rattled inside of this armour, weighing her down. But now, the armour hugged her muscled body with ease where she stood on the crescent shaped balcony. The anticipation of finally getting to demonstrate what’d she learn these past three months caused her heart to race with adrenaline. Descending the spiral stairs from the balcony, she felt the heat of her power solidify inside of her. She’d spent three months learning to summon her power and now she could hardly keep it contained. Directly across from her stood her opponent, who appeared more like an obstacle than an adversary. Towering above in another balcony was Kaleronis, the man who destroyed her so many times in this same ring that he saved her. Locking eyes with him, she slowly held up her hand, wiggling four fingers in his direction. She didn’t need to say or do more. He understood the message she was delivering; she’d only need four moves to completely incapacitate her opponent and call it a day.
