Under Revision: A Kind Brother

Helena's eyes shifted between her two children, both of whom had grown remarkably skilled in the art of the sword under her guidance.

Raphael and Imogen exchanged determined glances, their expressions reflecting a mix of sibling rivalry and determination. They knew that this duel was not just a friendly competition but a crucial assessment of their progress.

Imogen tightened her grip on her practice sword, a determined glint in her eyes. "I'm ready, Mother," she declared, her voice resolute.

Raphael, equally poised, nodded in agreement. "Let's see who's improved more," he replied with a competitive edge in his tone.

Helena couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm. She knew that this friendly rivalry between siblings would only serve to motivate them further. "Very well," she said, stepping back to give them ample space. "Begin when you're ready, and remember your training."
