Solitude’s eyes were locked on the sword, ignoring Burst’s kiss to her cheek or the fact that the soldier had directly placed it in her lap. She stood and accepted the handle of the blade, relishing the lightness of the sword and how perfectly balanced it was.

Quite suddenly and unexpectedly, Solitude launched herself into a series of complex, skilled blocks, attacks, and parries, the shining blade moving so fast that it was just a silver blur.

Finally, she ended into a low stance, the tip of the sword poised and at the ready. Smiling a small, but satisfied smile, she straightened and sheathed it in one fluid motion.

“The craftsmanship is excellent. I thank you for your generous gift, Burst.” Solitude remarked, giving him a grateful nod.
