Adversary

I’ll make it back, Kass, the boy thought desperately. I promise. Once I kill this thing. He pivoted fluidly to evade another swing of the adversary's obsidian blade, then planted his feet to catch the next attack with his staff. The dark blade nearly cleaved the boy’s weapon in two, but it held. His opponent pulled back, and the boy darted forward to deliver a deathblow, aiming the point of his staff directly at the creature’s neck.
