Thal shrugged, Mizuki had a point. "Eh your dead and my fates screwed... whats the worse that can happen would be a good word choice here just to ensure our normal luck." The fact they seemed to have no luck was more like it.

Though he wasn't sure he liked where this was going as soon as the woman spoke again. A test of life, oh that sounded dandy... Though a fight didn't sound so bad, he feared what catch there was to it. But he never would have counted on Daelis herself doing the fighting. Good thing he wasn't too wrapped up in his thoughts to block, the first strike feeling the power behind the staff would have done enough damage. If she decided to use magic he was screwed and he knew that. Ok maybe not he wasn't helpless against magic but what level was a gods magic even compared on?

This was hardly a fight, she had years on the both of them as far as combat went and it was hardly all he could do to avoid blows and block ones that were almost too close for comfort. He wished he had just a few spare seconds, he might be able to try to make a counter strike but that seemed unlikely. A fight was only a test of life is she intended to try to kill him and from the strikes he had a feeling he better not miss blocking either of them.

He needed a plan, she probably could keep this speed up all day but he knew he couldn't. Maybe with more experience sure it was possible but heck both of them were still young considering things. Plus he wanted to know what Mizuki's test was. He hardly liked the sound of either idea from this woman, let alone her saying sorry she had to do this to them. If Mizuki ever asked why he hated the gods he would remind him of this. All of them speaking in riddles and only showing up with it benefited themselves.

Though he was still trying to figure out why a goddess proposing to be Mizuki's mother even, came to them.. let alone seemed to think that the legend was real as well. Though he nearly missed the neck block as he shook the thought to prevent distracting himself again.
