The Knighting, Part One
Finn found himself approached by a tiny knight wielding a halberd as it leapt up to match his height. He leaned back just as the silver halberd passed right over his nose, feeling the wind coming off of it.
Despite the lesser size of the gnome soldiers, the strength behind the swing of the halberd was undeniably powerful.
Finn responded by flipping back while delivering a kick aimed for the gnome's midsection, only for the creature to present its own nimbleness in return. It kicked back as well, using the air itself as a platform before landing on its feet.
'It's quick–it can use wind like the big guy, too–if this is a lesser occurrence in this place, it's going to be hell,' Finn considered while keeping his blades raised and ready.
The gnome knight before him slammed his boot down with a shriek of wind swirling around itself, demanding a presence tenfold its size.
