blood in the water

As the rush of adrenaline from the battle began to wane, Aresenn shifted his focus to Caedes, his gaze meeting the emerald eyes of his comrade- which provided evidence the fierce determination despite the exhaustion evident in their forms. Every muscle in Caedes' body was taut, ready to spring into action once again if needed. "You fought well," Aresenn began, his voice steady among the subsiding chaos. "But, staying low and maintaining your balance is crucial,” With a sweeping gesture, he directed their attention to the rugged landscape surrounding them. The craggy cliffs loomed above, harsh and unforgiving, while the ground beneath their feet was uneven and treacherous. Every step was a test of balance and strength, a reminder of the daunting obstacles that lay ahead.
