30. Skirmish - II

When Lycaon jumped towards her with a sword, she stepped back in defense. The dust around them disappeared gradually. The girls and the soldiers were able to sight them. Looking at each other, they resumed their fight. Lycaon was fighting with a sword in one hand, so as Cressida with the dagger in her right hand. The clash of the two metals; her dagger and his sword were causing a clanging sound, echoing in the forest. Scaring the birds which flew away from the trees. Pulling themselves back they again charged against each other. Holding the dagger in defense Cressida was looking into his eyes. With his sword clashed on her dagger, he was standing close exactly in front of her. He looked down at her burning eyes.

"Isn't dagger disadvantageous against a sword?" He spoke each word calmly, pressing down his sword at her.

"I prefer calling enemy closer before hitting." She said and punched him in his stomach.
