Sylas had only seen the barest beginnings of the Rune's creation. No, he could barely call it that. He had seen a call of just three Strokes and then it was over.
It was like he had only basically watched the Will Priming alone, and then Vaelith had taken the victory. Let alone using brute force to gain victory, that option wasn't even presented to him.
Granted, Sylas had just decided not to use that method, but it seemed that it was naive of him to even consider it possible.
"It seems that the tower thinks very highly of you. To choose me as your challenger, and to even make the foundation of the duel the very Rune Path that I've been studying for so many years…"
Vaelith's eyes lit with curiosity as she looked at Sylas. As interested as she was before, she was even more so now, almost like she had been still looking through Sylas before, but now she actually was looking at him.
