"Now, listen. There are wolves who fight better in their human forms, and wolves who fight better as wolves. You need to figure out which one you are. And you need to learn to switch between them seamlessly."

Sera sidestepped, her blade flashing. Elara dodged, rolled, and leaped again. They fought across the clearing, a blur of silver and steel. Elara was fast, relentless, deadly. But Sera was still faster.
"You're good," Sera said, stepping back. "But you're not good enough. You're still thinking like a human. You need to think like a wolf."
