“Win.”

The twins attack both did and didn’t catch Silvi by surprise. On one hand, she saw the minute tensing and shifting in both of them as they made ready to strike, on the other, finding her opponent at point blank due to a near instantaneous ‘teleporting’ was [i]not[/i] something she had ever encountered. Even with seeing the two of them demonstrating it earlier, she was still caught out by it.

Furiously blocking and parrying with her sword and shield, she quickly found she was being driven onto her back heel, fighting defensively just to stay in the fight. [i][color=red]Never let your opponent dictate the fight.[/color][/i] Her aunt’s words echoed in her head as she gave ground. [i][color=red]Use your semblance, find your opening, fight on YOUR term.[/color][/i]

As Silvi moved to deflect yet another strike, she hit a trigger concealed in the grip of [i]Aegis Hammer[/i]. Up until now, she’d been using it in its ‘unpowered’ state, just a physical barrier to intercept and redirect incoming blows; but now, pulling the trigger activated the small vial of dark purple ‘gravity’ Dust that was loaded into the handle. As the blade struck, the face of the shield flashed purple and gave a rather significant ‘push’ to the weapon. 

Prior to starting her first bits of training with her aunt, her mum had added a ‘training’ setting to the shield, as at full power it was capable of reflecting blows with lethal force, and that was far to dangerous for sparring with.
