I'll Handle This One

Adrian's reflexes kicked in as he saw the three vials of poison hurtling towards him. He moved swiftly, sidestepping one and deflecting the other two with a well-placed swipe of his arm, sending them crashing harmlessly to the ground. Well, they almost evaporated the ground, calling them harmless would be idiotic.

'Damn, that was dangerous!'

"Yes, we are," Adrian said, his voice steady as he advanced on Selene.

But just as she prepared to retaliate, Selene suddenly lost her balance. Her eyes widened in shock as she stumbled, her legs giving out beneath her. Ice and Earth had trapped her.

'Thanks Aria!'

Taking advantage of her momentary weakness, Adrian lunged forward, grabbing her wrist and twisting it, causing her to drop her dagger. With a swift motion, he knocked her to the ground, pinning her with his weight.
