It was the most impressive sight at Lake Victoria Academy. When Cadets Marquise and Noin fenced, everyone watched. It wasn’t just their form, which was exquisite, but the fact that the two somehow moved perfectly in tune with each other. It wasn’t a mechanical perfection; it was fluid and organic, changing and evolving even as the fencers themselves did. And it wasn’t as if they were playing with each other, prolonging the bout. No, the two of them simply knew each other well enough to counteract most moves easily.

They were almost one being. The two students were nearly indistinguishable from each other. Noin and Marquise were about the same height, and while Noin was a young woman, she had yet to fill out enough to really differentiate her from the other boys. The flow of their bouts was smooth and uninterrupted.

Attack. Parry. Riposte. Lunge. Recover. The kiss of steel against steel. It was almost like poetry.
