Rise Up, Ting Ting, Like Glitter And Gold

Artorias was proud to see that Fern didn’t balk or back down from his challenge of a training spar. She squared up against him and charged in, running right for him. The Aegis braced his paws, sharp eyes following her every movement closely, nerves primed and ready to react. Fern took an abrupt swerve to his left as she drew upon him, winding up a swing with her sword. Being a novice, her windup was predictable and slow to his eyes, and Artorias turned his head to point the blade of his sword downward to block her strike with practiced ease. He deflected Fern’s blow, then quickly lifted his head in an attempt to flip Fern’s sword out of her grip or at least put her off balance. In the same momentum, he pivoted his body to bring a horizontal swing aimed for Fern’s forelegs, aiming to sweep her off her paws. "Don’t stop your movements. Always follow through with your weapon. Let the blade be an extension of your reach."
