The arena was set, waiting for the contenders to challenge each other. Aahan held Kavin's spear in hand. On the other side was Isha, her bow glistening with an eerie frost, with arrows at the ready.
As Dheera took the role of a referee, Aahan's fingers tightened around the spear's shaft as he took his stance. He had never used a spear before, but fighting with a weapon was better than fighting without any.
Meanwhile, Isha confidently stood before Aahan. The determined look on her face was different from the last time they had faced each other. Unlike the previous time, it felt like Isha was taking him seriously.
They circled each other warily, eyes locked on one another. Isha took the initiative as soon as Dheera whistled, signalling the start of their duel.
She drew her bowstring, and an arrow magically materialised in her hands, then quickly turned to shimmering ice. With practised ease, she loosed the icy projectile towards Aahan.
