Sordaf watchful, shield up. Rauk letting his sword dangle, showing off to the crowd. His smile buckled when she gave the fighting scream. Rauk caught her first blow on his shield, giving ground, and a second too, splinters flying, then she tricked him with her eyes so he lifted his shield high, went low at the last moment and caught him a scything blow in his hip. He cried out, twisting sideways so the back of his head was to her. She was already lifting her sword again. There was a flicker at the corner of her eye and a sick crunch.
She hardly felt as if she fell. But suddenly the sand was roughing her up pretty good, then she was staring stupidly at the sky. Thorn rolled, lazy, clumsy, pouch slipping from her collar and swinging on its cord, her face one great throb. Water surged cold up the beach and around her knees and she saw Sordaf stamp down, heard a crack like a stick breaking.
The wave sucked back and sank away, blood tickling at her top lip, dripping pit-patter on the wet sand. She saw Rauk step towards her and she caught his leg as he kicked, hugged it to her chest.
She jerked up hard, growling in his face, and he tumbled over backwards, arms flailing. He caught her, more holding her up than trying to put her down. She grabbed at his shoulder, wrist twisted, sword torn from her hand as she stumbled past, floundering onto her knees and up again, her shield flapping at her side on its torn strap as she turned, spitting and cursing, and froze.
Edwal opened his mouth but all that came out was a strange squelch like a fart. He dropped his practice blade and lifted a clumsy hand to paw at his neck. The wooden blade had broken to leave a long shard when Sordaf stamped on it.
Master Hunnan caught him as he pitched onto his side. Brand and some of the others gathered around them, all shouting over each other. Thorn could hardly pick out the words over the thunder of her own heart.
