free as a breeze

The call for him rang strong and true through to Oasis. ahhh, yes he thought, his apprentice. He planned on releasing Poem back to her family. She might have drive for fighting, but only when it was something she truly believed it, otherwise her heart wasn’t in it. She didn’t love the battle itself, only the outcome. He needed someone with more raw potential, someone with something to prove and a desire to do so. Since finding Banshee, he had realised Poem wasn’t the young pupil he wished to shape, and nor did she wish to be shaped by him.

He made his way over to the woman, finding her easily amongst the sparse greenery of the Oasis. “Poem” he said. A faint smile on his lips. “I know things haven’t been easy back at your home, so I release you. Spar with with me, and win or lose, your freedom is yours. Take it, and use it to help your family. I know that’ where your heart lies, and always will.” He could at least sound a little benevolent, when what she wanted was what he wanted as well.
