Astria Pov
The speed at which I fell to the mat covered floor was even shocking to me. It all happened so fast that I barely even registered the pain. I don't know why I even had the idea that she may go easy on me or at least not throw her whole life and being into defeating me . I see the entire plan now. She had planned to butter me up so I would most likely go soft on her. I recover and pounce back on my feet. I could see the satisfaction on her face and I knew that I was done for.
I decided to go on the defensive end and I tried my best to block her jabs. She was coming at me really fast. I was working based on pure adrenaline and no skill. I just needed her to tire out so I can switch to the offense. For the first few minutes, she still looked like she could keep going and I was already getting tired myself. However, I felt encouraged when I saw that she has began to slow down. I just needed to win this. If I did, it may put Alaric and I at the top of the scoreboard.
