As Nodah’s ounce of energy finally depleted, Desdemona smirked in the realization of her victory. “Looks like I win-” the moment of triumph quickly fleeted as she experienced the consequence of her magic. The serpent abruptly dissolved into particles as Desdemona’s vision began to blur. Almost collapsing to the floor, she managed to stay balanced. “[i]Damn, I overdid it.[/i]” Desdemona thought as she looked back at Nodah. The protective barrier prevented any fatal injuries, so there was nothing dead in the room for her to replenish energy with. Her only option was to find a place to rest.

Heading towards the exit she slightly turned her head to the side, “I wouldn’t mind fighting you again sometime; I had fun.” Desdemona says unsure if Nodah could hear her or not. Returning to the training hall, she made sure to not let her exhaustion show. Desdemona sat on a bench hoping to recover as much strength as she could before the next battle.
