Bab 103: • The Iron Gauntlet (2)

Akemi narrowed her eyes at her opponent. She hadn't faced her before, but Thorin had and she recounted the events as he had narrated it to her.

Sonya was her name, and she was an Incarnate Bearer with the powers to conjure any weapon — or weapons — of her choosing. It was an interesting power, unique, versatile, even dangerous. 

But that was all Akemi could say about the Bloodsport, usually she wouldn't have anything to say at all. She knew she could defeat the Bloodsport, and that was all that mattered.

The battle began and in speeding blurs of movements, the Avatar Bearer and the Incarnate Bearer exploded into action. Akemi wasted no time, she lashed towards her opponent, crimson blade in hand. 

The Bloodsport averted her attack, and struck her spear to Akemi's midsection to which she easily leaped over, manipulating her red energy and transforming the katana into a whip.
