If not for her...

CLANG!

A strong gust of wind blew past Aries, making her breath hitch, wide-eyed. Everything happened so fast her body couldn't keep up, but at the same time, slow enough for her eyes to see everything unfold. Her eyes watched the tip of a broken lance somersault in the air and penetrated the dry ground. 

She thought if she was prepared for Isaiah's attack, she could at least dodge him. But alas, he was faster than his first attempt. She barely flung her sword, which broke upon having contact with Isaiah's sword. 

Amazing.

Although Aries wasn't new to fighting, before Isaiah, she was akin to an infant. She wouldn't stand a chance if this was an actual fight with their life at stake. And yet, she couldn't stop the excitement bubbling in her heart.
