Re: Take Up Your Cross [Zorolo]
Well, if nothing else, Kichaa had all the tenacity in the world and the drive to use it. Still, there were two things he seemed to have forgotten: one, the hand guard of a rapier is generally more ornamental than anything, meaning it is made of a more brittle metal; second, getting as close a Kichaa was had a tendency of always being dangerous. Although he had my sword hand, I was disinterested in his hold and prepared to break it, however, I'd have to go about that in a necessary and proper manner. In other words, I should do it in a way where his dignity is retained.
I always enjoyed these plans. Mayhap because it was that kind of threat that always held the absolute certainty of being harmed, for both people. I smiled as he continued to batter me and I smiled as his blows continued and I readied to break his grip and strike back. He had forgotten that I still had one free hand and I quickly grabbed the hand that he had been battering me with and I smiled as I head butted him. I think the shock of the fact I had just struck him earned me my chance to counter attack.
Quickly, I thrust my shoulder into the swordsman's chest and pushed upwards, throwing him over my shoulder and onto his back. Quickly, I placed my foot on his chest and dislodged my sword hand and jumped back, smiling at Kichaa. Mayhap it was the fact that I had just taken a large number of blows to my head, or mayhap it was the fact I had just gotten to try something I had never done before. Still, I found the rush I had exhilarating, and then... it was over. Those kinds of things I never much enjoyed if they lasted longer than a few moments.
I spun my sword around thoughtlessly and stabbed the tip into the ground. I smiled as I walked backwards, keeping my eyes on Kichaa and using one eye to look at the weapons. I quickly grabbed a broadsword and hefted it up. The blade shined brilliantly as I looked at it and gave the blade a few test swings with my one arm. The blade whirred quickly as I gave it a few more slashes and looked at Kichaa. "Let's try another kind of weapon. What do you think?" I asked with my normal smile as I watched Kichaa.
