beginning of second chapter
Chapter Two

This was the hardest battle Will had ever fought. No matter what he did, he could never seem to touch her. Sari was fast as light; first she was in front of him, then suddenly she was behind him. Even though she had many chances, she never struck him down. He didn’t understand it. His back was open countless times, but she didn’t end it. She toyed with him, leading him around the arena like a puppet on strings. It was irritating.
“Why won’t you just hit me already? End this now!!!”
“Why should I? This is more fun than I have had in a long time.”
Will gaped at her, and she took the opportunity to strike him in the face with her weapon.
"You need to stay focused. I am amazed you survived this long if all you do is let birds make nests in your mouth. Jeez, get a grip." Spinning on one foot, she struck his midriff. He grabbed her ankle and twisted. She spun through the air, flipping over to land on her feet again. She applauded him, grinning at his frustrated expression.
"You need to calm down. If you don't, you'll never get me." She thrust for his collarbone, making him wince in pain. He parried, knocking her staff away as she stuck out again and again. Sweat ran down his forehead, blinding him. He struck out blindly, wiping his face on his shoulder. A sharp lance a pain went through his shoulder. He looked up in confusion.
Sari held her staff in front of her, its end pointed towards him. A long, slender blade of white metal shot from the end, piercing his shoulder just above the collarbone. He screamed.
"Sari draws first blood. Will loses." The teacher announced in a emotionless, loud voice. Sari withdrew her weapon. Will clutched his shoulder, willing it to heal. Green light issued from his palm, bathing and sealing the wound. He stood.
"You okay?" Sari looked up at him with concern. He smiled.
"I am good to go. That was a neat trick you did with your staff." He looked at the blade protruding from the tip of the staff. It was long, about a foot in length, and made of a strange white metal that seemed to glow. Strange swirls of black and gold flowed around the blade, shimmering in the sun. it looked both lethal and deadly.
