Asher exhaled ever so slowly, then he started walking forward, a smile appearing on his face as he walked. The puppet, seeing this, simply walked forward, holding its spiked club just as Asher held his rapier. Neither suddenly dashed forward; they simply walked until they came face to face with one another.
As they came to a stop, they stared into each other's eyes for a moment before they both started moving the next instant, their hands blurring as rapier met spiked club with staggering force. Neither of them took a step back nor shifted their posture, they stood like mountains that refused to crumble.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
