The Ironsmith's Mandate
We returned to our places, and I could see the fury beginning to fill Rattan Reyes’ eyes.
“Don’t fight angry”, the saying went, though my grandfather had a different idea: “fight angry until you can’t tell the difference.”
“Participants, to your places.”
Rattan Reyes wants the next bout to start, he can’t wait to get that last point.
I’m going to use that against him.
“Ready?”
We both nodded.
“Then begin!”
It’s his turn to flash forward, but given how my senses have come on during this bout, it looks like he’s only moving quickly, instead of what he thinks is superhuman speed, and as he does, I see how the slimy substance is boosting his movements.
