Alice sat on a fallen log in the Forever Fall reading her text book on Remnant's history as the sound of clashing swords echoed in the distance. A student had taken her boyfriend up on his standing offer for training and he had accepted, a needed distraction for him after recent events. Alice's concentration was pulled from her book when her scroll beeped loudly. Quickly she picked up the device and looked at the readout. Darian's aura had a signifcant drop due to what was going on. Either Merel had hit him with a strong blow, or Darian had been pushing himself a bit too far. Either way Alice was intreagued and decided this was going to be more interesting than the book.

Closing the book the woman walked over to where the two swordsmen were fighting, the effects of their battle evident in the rubble they left in their wake. Darian slammed the woman back with his massive sword, Merel covered in a suit of armor made of ice and using a double ended sword in order to defend herself from her boyfriend's barrage. Darian's heavy sword pushed her back, the wide arking strikes direcing her into a corner against a tree. When she could no longer manuver Darian began hammering her even faster, waiting for an opening in her stance, a hole that he could exploit.

Before long the woman's double sword was knocked away from her torso and that was all the opening that the man needed. In one fluid movement the man sheathed his blade on his back and began hammering at the woman's torso and head with his fists and elbows. The barrage was powerful, snapping her head back with every punch, and breaking the bark on the tree as she was slammed into it. The woman's ice armor began to crack with every hammer like blow, pushing her closer to her breaking point with every contact. Alice could see the edges of her boyfriend's anger seeping through into his blows. Ever since his confrontation with his father Darian's underlying rage had been coming out more and more, but for now it seemed in check and Alice swore she'd keep him from falling too far. She would be his anchor in the storm.
