Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 #1 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Amazon. An appropriate name for a settlement located in the middle of a wild, sprawling jungle. Teion couldn't help but frown at the lack of creativity, but nonetheless made her way through the village, wading past tents and vendors. The environment was vastly different from the scorching desert she had grown accustomed to. The girl would have to push herself out of her comfort zone if she had any hope of growing stronger. Letting out a light sigh, she made her way towards the edge of the village, looping her thumb through her belt and resting her hand against her hip as she walked.

Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #2 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 As the axe-wielder was about to leave town, a small voice broke the silence surrounding her. "Excuse me," Teion turned to face the source of the words with slight surprise. Before her stood a girl, possibly a bit younger than her by looks, but with no distinguishing features to speak of. This person who had called out to her waved, standing among the heavy greenery outside of Amazon. Teion didn't speak, but continued forward, approaching the person with inquisitive eyes, waiting for her to explain herself. Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #3 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The figure gave a polite nod of her head as Teion wordlessly acknowledged her. "M'name's not important," The girl spoke very casually with her now, but wasted no time in getting to the point. "I couldn't help spottin' 'ya in town a second ago! Y'look like a really strong player," A grin broke out on her face, and she tilted her head with intrigue. "How's about you and that axe o' yours take me on? Just a quick match, please! I promise I'll make it worth your while!" The look of excitement on the stranger's face perplexed Teion, but the blacksmith couldn't help a soft smile playing over her lips. She couldn't find it in herself to deny such earnestness. Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #4 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 "I suppose I don't mind a quick duel," Teion accepted simply, her smile persisting as she drew her weapon. Holding the axe in both hands, the violet-haired girl spun the handle a couple of times, waiting for her opponent to draw her weapon. "Whoa whoa, not just here!" The mystery girl waved her hands in front of her. "A duel right outside the city gate'll cause a ruckus," She turned towards the jungle, waving the blacksmith after her. "C'mon, I know just the place!" Skeptical, Teion kept her weapon drawn, but humored the girl anyway. Without objecting, she followed after her. Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #5 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The odd girl led Teion a few minutes away from town, marching along assuredly until they reached their destination. They stopped upon reaching a small clearing in the otherwise dense jungle forest. Brushing a gathering of thick leaves up and out of her view, Teion continued into the clearing and glanced around, impressed with the calm area. "Hey, before we start..." The girl that had previously spoken so proudly sounded meek and shy now, catching Teion's attention as she looked back to the girl. "There's somethin' I wanted to ask 'ya about. Y'see," Teion's eyes narrowed slightly in both confusion and concern. The girl spoke as if something weighed heavily on her mind, making Teion feel a bit anxious to hear what she wanted to say.

Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #6 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 "There's this guy I like," Teion blinked in disbelief as the girl before her looked at the ground shyly, turning the toe of her boot on the dirt in front of her. The girl just continued speaking, allowing no time for the blacksmith to interrupt or question the conversation. "He's so cool! He's handsome, and a total gentleman," The girl brought her hands up to her face as a schoolgirl would, talking about her crush. "He's smart, and kind," Her words lost their tempo, and her tone began to drop. The girl's hands fell slowly from her face, falling limp at her sides. She stared back up at Teion coldly, causing the purple-haired girl to instinctively take a small step backwards. "But I'm nothing special to him." Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #7 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 A chill ran up Teion's spine. The girl's appearance shifted, and looking directly at her caused Teion to blink as her vision felt distorted. She brought a hand up to her face, palm covering her right eye as she shook her head slightly and brought her gaze back up to the girl. Her blue eyes widened as an identical face stared back at her with a piercing gaze. "I'm nothing at all." The words rang out in Teion's own voice. "He's so far away, I feel like I'll never reach him again," The figure that held her form began walking slowly forward, causing Teion to take another small step backward. "Who...are you?" were the only words she could mutter. Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #8 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) The mirror image continued walking forward, closing the gap between the two. Her expression was lifeless, but also somber. "What can I do? I'm so pathetic because I can't let go of the past," Tears began forming at the corners of her eyes. She grew closer, until she could reach out a hand to gently brush across Teion's cheek. Teion was frozen, stunned by the figure looming in front of her, and shocked at the words she spoke. "No..." She breathed out, flinching at the figure's touch. Quickly, the creature brought its face to hers, holding their gaze inches apart. Fresh tears began falling down the reflection's cheeks. She breathed out softly, "I should just die." Edited May 14, 2016 by Teion Link to post Share on other sites
Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #9 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) The girl's expression twisted in an instant, lifeless eyes igniting as her mouth twitched upwards to form a devilish grin. She pulled back, raising her hand up behind her head and bringing it across her body in a flurry of motion. -Slap- The sound rang out around them.The force of the attack bringing her to her knees, Teion brought a quivering hand up her cheek, gingerly touching the bright red skin where the figure had stricken her. The girl's blue eyes traveled back up to meet the harsh gaze of the creature standing over her, an identical pair of eyes piercing through her.

Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #10 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) "See? You're too weak to even fight back. You're better off--" As the copy spoke, Teion's left hand curled against the dirt, forming a tight fist that began to shake. In a quick motion, the girl grasped the handle of her axe at the ground before her, swinging it across her body to strike the figure. Her words stopped short, jumping backwards to evade the axe lodging completely into her side. Instead, a thin slice of red was created along her torso. The figure frowned, ceasing her previous banter. She reached behind her, grabbing an identical axe and holding it firmly in front of her. She let out a sigh, continuing to toy with her opponent. "Why are you making this difficult? Can't you see it would be better this way?" She tapped on the wooden handle of the axe a couple of times. "If you don't fight, you won't have to face him again." The figure brought the blade down on her. catching the edge of her arm before she was able to move out of the way.

Teion 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Author #11 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) A fire now burned in Teion's eyes and she stared back at the copy. She had no words that would surface themselves, nothing she could say back to her own face that would make her feel better, or justify the battle. The figure's expression changed to a smirk, still looking down at Teion's kneeling frame. "This isn't bravery, you know." She hauled the axe back up, holding herself casually as she continued taunting, "What would he say if he saw you like this?" The smirk grew wider, "Would he swoop in and save you? Probably," Rolling her eyes, her weight shifted slightly, "Although that sounds more like the other one, wouldn't you say?" Teion growled, picking herself up and charging at the girl. Not expecting the outburst, all the figure could do to react was to bring her weapon in front of her to try and deflect the attack. Unsuccessful, Teion's blow landed to further tick down at her health.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #12 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) "What's wrong?" The figure laughed, "Did I hit a nerve?" She sneered, again taking another casual stance. She seemed more intent on insulting and teasing Teion than fighting her now. "You don't like the White Knight? Oh, but you used to," Teion growled again in response, picking up her blade for another attack. "And then your foolish heart wavered--you're just that fickle, aren't you?" It gave another audible laugh, "I swear, how can you even face the two of them like that?" Filling her lungs with heavy air, Teion dug her foot into the ground beneath her, running forward with the same movements. "Ah-ah," The figure teased, this time swinging her own axe in such a way that the blades clashed.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #13 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) "So, which is it?" The figure asked snidely. She placed a boot on the back end of Teion's axe, which was now lodged firmly in the ground. She leaned into it, weighing down the weapon so the girl wouldn't be able to easily pull it away for another attack. Defiantly, the violet-haired girl pulled at the handle of her axe, tears welling up at the corners of her eyes in frustration. With her silence, the figures eyes seem to widen slightly in understanding. "Ooh, I see," Her tone didn't falter even as Teion wrenched the weapon out from under her.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #14 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) "You don't even know!" The figure threw her head back in hysterical laughter. The tears that threatened Teion now overflowed, leaving their trails down her cheeks. She gripped the handle of her axe so tightly she might soon lose the feeling in her hands. Gritting her teeth, she rushed again, only for her attack to be quickly evaded. The figure sidestepped her seemingly with ease, looming beside her as she brought her own axe up above her head.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #15 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) The figure's own blade began to shine, glowing a bright red. She came down on Teion hard, slashing vertically to leave a large, thin gash down the length of her body. Luckily her armor prevented a lot of damage, but Teion still winced as her health bar began to drop. She spun around to face her opponent again, who met her gaze with a smug expression. "C'mon, you can't seriously be so confused?" She raised her hands to her side with a small shrug, shaking her head. "Is this what makes your heart hurt? The two of them? The distance you've created?" Each word pierced through Teion, anger burning inside of her.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #16 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Teion traded another set of blows with the figure, landing an attack against her. The blacksmith's breathing was growing heavy, both her body and mind growing exhausted. Growing tired of the barrage of insults, Teion began to mutter, "I thought... you wanted to fight me." between breaths. The figure frowned, as if Teion was raining on her parade. "Come now, weren't his favorite battles always of wits?" She shook her head again, "How disappointing! If we just stand her throwing punches, you'll never learn a thing." She wagged a condescending finger.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #17 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Teion growled yet again, favoring another attack over words. As if the figure had predicted her movements, she dodged the swing with ease, closing the distance between them in a flash. She hooked her arm around Teion's, restricting her movement in a sort of grapple, positioning herself in such a way that the girl could continue speaking just beside Teion's ear. "This is how you win a fight." She whispered, sending a chill down Teion's spine. "You know, you can have them if you want. You can have anyone, if you know what you're doing." She reached her free hand to push Teion's chin towards her own.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #18 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) "Humans are very easy to manipulate--" The girl was cut off with a hard jab to her side, Teion managing to shove an elbow into her torso. She winced, her grip loosening and allowing Teion to break free. With a quick spin around, the girl's blade glowed it's normal bright blue, in stark contrast to her opponent's earlier red color of sword art. At such a close range, she hit her mark directly, causing her health to drop significantly. With a small counter-attack, the figure disengaged, scowling as she got her bearings.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #19 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) She shook her head yet again, pulling up her axe to prepare for Teion's next inevitable attack. "Do you think that this will all just go away if you kill me? The only way you'll be free of this pain is if you just give up." She placed a hand over her chest, as if to try and sympathize with the girl. "If you keep on trying it's just going to hurt more. What will you do when it's too much to bear?" Again, without an answer, Teion grit her teeth and ran towards the figure. Giving a small sigh of exasperation, her opponent prepared itself as they came together and clashed once again.

Teion 0 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #20 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) After her opponent unleashed another red-glowing sword art, Teion was brought to her knees yet again. Wasting no time, the figure followed-up, placing a boot against her shoulder and shoving the violet-haired girl down to her back. The sound of an axe striking the ground beside her head caused Teion to yelp in surprise, glancing sideways to the metal blade. For a moment she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the polished steel--frightened, crying, and defeated. Drawing her attention back above her, Teion felt the same heavy boot press down against her chestplate.
