A feeling of shame and guilt washed over me for not being honest with them, or Xuelian.
However, I made a decision in that moment that I wouldn't look away. I would watch her fight. If I looked away now I would be worth even less than I am right now.
If I looked away now how could I continue to support Mani and Suna who so desperately reached out to me for help.
And how could I ever apologize to Xuelian. Not that I deserve forgiveness.
I watched as Xuelian took her stance, she was wielding a two handed spear as her weapon. Her opponent looked to be a Rykanthe, necrofewnic, wielding a pair of gauntlets.
A count down began, after a minute the two clashed. Xuelian's opponent struck first, throwing a combination of punches, jabs, hooks, and uppercuts. However, Xuelian gracefully blocked or avoided the majority of the strikes.
Xuelian spear-play was something to behold. It was precise, deliberate, with few movements, yet it fluid and elegant.
Her opponent seemed to have the upper hand. Slowly but surely, she managed to turn the fight around, and force her opponent back.
It was inspiring and beautiful to watch.
