Iyvre watched Rael from where she stood as she pondered the main reason she had requested a duel against him. It had little to do with claiming his excuse for a territory, but more because she couldn't accept such a disgraceful loss. Not only had she lost against a warrior two tiers below her, but she also had the help of her sisters. Artifact or not, her nature couldn't accept that.
And that was why she requested a duel, to fight on fair grounds. She had no plans of going all out on him, for then it wouldn't be fair if she used the full might of her heavier Tier 3 Aether against his Tier 1 own. After all, he didn't have his toy to help him this time

"I'm ready when you are," Rael replied with a smile, his two hands clasped around the handle of the great sword.
"Then here I come," Iyvre said as she charged forward, turning into a blur of motion.
