"Oh? Is there patience to be tested?" Isobelle asked, narrowing her eyes. She could feel the adrenaline pulsing through her veins, and took a second to quiet her heart, thudding eagerly with excitement. She took a step back in a most challenging way. "See, I control this little duel, only I have something to gain,"

"That you do, but you see I am not simply going to rush recklessly either. Besides..." Ke-Saren chuckled, "if I'm not mistaken, you are still tied to a planar existence; you have a lifespan to keep in mind, whereas I do not."
He focused on his wings for a moment, each individual blade in them falling away in a crimson glow, suspended about him.
"That, and I imagine you have significantly less endurance than to outmaneuver a perpetual spin of blades about you. Now, are you going to make this entertaining or boring for the both of us?"

Isobelle smiled sweetly. "Darling, you are the one that is making this boring. While you were offering meaningless words, you could have striked five different ways in succession," She said. The blades strapped to her legs seemed to gleam as she turned her back before her arm spun back towards the demon, her body following soon after, as a water mark, a spelled bead engraved with the elven spell for freezing, fell from her fingers, an answering breeze ruffling her hair as she was propelled backwards, ice shards rocketing through the air, and she slid on one knee as the floor turned to ice. "Now, let us see how interesting we can get,"

Ke-Saren narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his boot on the frozen floor, the lifting revealing several spike-holes beneath it.
"Come now, are you so determined to give me the upper hand? You have yourself a visible floor, bravo but what good will it do you if you are the only one hindered?"
The blades circling him began to widen in the radius, quickly filling the room with a flurry of shards.

"Hindered?" Isobelle asked launching forwards, the ice cracking beneath her feet as she spoke in elvish, the words rolling off her toungue. Time seemed to slow for her, when in reality it was as normal, as she saw each shard heading towards her. She propelled herself through them, avoiding only the ones that would overly hinder her. Blades flew out from her wrists and flew between the whirling blades before she brushed her hair from her face, a small scarlet line decorating her cheek.

The blades surrounding the Demon withdrew to a closer radius, creating a bladed barrier about him as quickly as they had flown about. Within a moment he had a crimson wave of darkness flooding out from a wide sweep, the aura about his blade falling away to it.

Isobelle flipped backwards, gritting her teeth as the wave clipped her shoulder while she flipped forwards. Nonetheless she sprinted forwards again, slashing out with her claws as soon as she came into range, a swift attack of precise savagery with surprising strength.

Ke-Saren brought his blade up to parry, but his movements were not quite fast enough to parry the entire strike, rather catching his bladed gauntlet to his chest as it slid against the oncoming strike, leaving it to bury into his shoulder and himself to wince slightly.
"You through?" He asked quietly.
Another instant, and he shoved his elbow out, the blade of his armor sweeping in front of him.

♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱╝ Isobelle felt herself being pushed backwards and fell to the floor, only to kick out at the demon's wrist, the movement requiring the use of her arms and she spun slightly, before pushing away from him, doing a cartwheel on her forearm, wincing as her shoulder muscles stretched. The ice solidified with whispered words, allowing her to slide away farther as she pushed herself into a crouch.

Ke-Saren laughed, his blade again glowing a dark crimson as the whirling blades fell all around. For a moment his form flickered, seeming to double in a near-illusory sense before merging again on itself. His smile did not waver.
"So you're not done yet..." he said faintly, "Then I suppose I will have to inform you that here, those of us holding guardianship have much more to our power than we ever did alive. Come now, sa'heri. Let us dance."

♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱╝ Isobelle narrowed her eyes. "This was not the work I had wanted for," She muttered to herself. "For God's sake. I am an assassin, not a damned duelist!" She said, her voice rising sharply, the ice melting away into nothing as she grabbed the small wooden ball and advanced again, slower, as she nimbly picked her way through the blades before casting the small ball at the demon, her tiger claws flashing as it exploded, the force directed towards the demon, encasing all it touched in ice.

The moment the flash took visual Ke-Saren's figure again doubled off, a ghostly image of himself gliding forward in front of him, blade to the side as it swept through Isobelle's figure. With another flash he reformed at the further end of the trail, his blade slicing through the entire transit in the immediate moment though he grimaced as he realized his wings had been frozen.
"And to think, you have such a long way..."

♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱♱╝ Her hand jarring from the connection, Isobelle met the blade with her "claws" and was forced to the ground by the exertion of the push she gave the blade, it coming mere inches above her face. She stopped for the fraction of a second and twisted herself back into a crouch. Her eyes darting over the demon's wings, she stood up and faced him. "Such a long way? I seem to be making progress," She remarked, brandishing her claws again.

"Progress against me, yes..."
Ke-Saren turned and wrenched his blade free with a smirk.
"I'm only one entity here, and you seem to be having trouble already. Does it frighten you, to know that I am not only the first of several dozen, but also the least worth mention?"

"Trouble? What suggests that? I have but a scratch on me," Isobelle said, her eyes narrowing to a glare. That glare swiftly receded as she quelled her anger and forced calm to retake her mind. "I know what I signed up for, and I will not fail. A blemish on my record would be a shame for myself, my faction, and the OverRoyalty,"
