A sealed past [1]

Clank! 

Sparks flew in the air. 

Two blades crossed, and two gray eyes interlocked. 

A wave of pressurized wind energy burst forth from the point of contact between the two weapons as neither side gave out, each standing their own ground. Amell and Leon stared at each other for a brief moment before stepping back, momentarily withdrawing. 

With a simple exchange, the two managed to get a general idea of each other's strengths. 

'He's strong.' 

Amell's mind churned. 

The mirror within his world rippled slightly before calming down. 

With a 'Bang' the ground beneath him shattered as he slashed down with his sword. 

Leon's eyes constricted the moment Amell slashed down, his chest pressing heavily as he felt the hair at the back of his neck rise. 

His 'Intuition' kicked in and he stepped to the side. 

SHIIING—!
