Riona was in a class all her own. Her moves were slicker, her powers were on another level, and her entire combat style was like watching a master class in 'How to Be Awesome.'
She'd even considered tapping into the Blood Moon's power, just in case things went south, but it looked like she wouldn't need the cosmic backup.
Morgan turned out to be even less of a challenge than Sir Orlo, who was basically the library's resident with no real battle experience.
She might have had strength, but it was the kind of strength that only works if you've got a whole squad to back you up. This was a solo gig, and Morgan was left high and dry, with no team to swoop in and save her.
This was Riona's playground—solo missions where ego really got to stretch its legs. And, as a bonus, she was using the fight as a live demo for the pups on real-world combat techniques.
