Mother Alicia smiled at him knowingly. "Well, let us change opponents, for I believe that there is an opponent who you might find much more… appealing than myself."
Rui's senses lit up as he sensed a very familiar presence approaching them.
He turned around to find her approaching them at high speed in the sky.
"Amare."
His tone was one of enthusiasm.
"Rui!" she waved at him from afar with excitement.
Her amber eyes brimmed with a bright alacrity to meet him as well as an intense drive for power.
STEP
She descended from the bright, morning skies, arriving some distance away from him as she took her open-palmed stance against him.
Her smile was playful as well as one of a challenging determination.
"I saw that she had nothing to do at the time, so I invited her here to the Forest of War to partake in your training," Mother Alicia remarked. "You will be training each other and against each other. You're both good enough for that."
Rui smiled with interest.
