The start of the fight happened with Ehsan charging toward Rosa. She got only seconds to remove her sword and block the attack. Her hands shook in the force. Ehsan has great strength reminding her of commander Roux and General Kundh. His power was making her hands shake. She quickly moved out of the way and made a counter to strike his shoulder.
Rosa still had her sheath on the sword, making sure there was no way she would cut the prince. Ehsan noticed it, but he kept his sword open; he would be striking her bare sword; there was no shortcut from his position. He wanted to attack her at full strength. Ehsan tried to punish her as well as check her strength.
He pushed her back with his second strike. Rosa slid on her heels to block the attack. The attack was strong, making her wobble. She took a deep breath and decided to fight strength against strength. She dug her feet in the sand, ready for the next attack. Ehsan moved just like she predicted.
