The Brawler swings his baton, but I’m faster. I raise my hand and Push him. My Umbric ability takes him by surprise. I see fear in his eyes as he flies into the explosive canister. We barely hear the buzzing sound of gas being released but the Brawler can surely smell it. And then— |

It bursts into flames. The explosion kills the Brawler. "Do not let her get away with this!" yells the Rusher. The Gunner shakes, shoots, and misses me. The three remaining Ascendants resume their positions. They glance at each other, fear in their eyes, gripping their weapon as hard as they can. Only the Rusher seems confident. |

The three remaining Ascendants surround me, weapons raised, ready to attack. I’m going to be patient...one of them is bound to make a move and I’ll be ready to respond. It’s three against one, so they should have a distinct advantage. But they don’t, and they know it. A Brawler charges toward me, swinging his baton. For a brief instant, everything feels so clear, as if the Ascendants are moving in slow motion. I can see their movements and where they're going to land. I could perform a defensive move, followed by an attack. Or I could surprise them with one of my favorite tricks—disappearing with my Shroud. |
