She winced as she fell again, and sighed, gripping her staff, the mithril blade upon the end long lost it's shine in dust and blood, meaning she did need to clean it soon. Sighing as she stood, she nodded gently in respect to her opponent who beat her, and recieved a nod in return. Sighing disappointed, she stepped from the ring.

She stretched, tired and with her clothing a bit torn and tattered. She leaned a little against the wall and let her staff rest upon her shoulder. Gazing up, her dragonish eyes of silver watched as other rings went to practice for tonight's battle. She frowned gently, was it worth anything? Hopefully, it was. But she couldn't help it, she was still to remain a commoner at the rate she was going. Hopefully, she'll get better.

Elven ears twitched as she smiled, and nodded to a friend who passed by, remembering him from years ago, when she first came... And then she waved a little to Morgan Redheart, who just acsended down the stairs. The two have become good friends by now... she had become his student in the Duel of Swords quickly, yet preffered her style of dancer-fighting, and it served her ok, but she knew her honed skills came in her blade, but even that tended to
fail her.

She sighed, and shook her head, maybe another trial, she could succeed, she could not, but she knew... she was honost to herself, that she wanted to be out of this commoner rank, she wanted to be recognized. Opening her eyes, she looked up and nodded to the person that was next in line to practice with her... and stepped up to the ring once more.
