Re: Maliq: Dark Thoughts, Light Desires
Perfection is mandatory, therefore, this is a necessary frustration., Maliq thought to himself as he returned to his battle stance once more. The droids did the same. Still irritated from the failure of his previous attempt, Maliq inhaled and exhaled slowly and steadily to relax his nerves, making sure not to allow them to show in his movements.
The droids began their assault simultaneously. One attack was swept to the side just in time by Maliq's training saber while he twisted to avoid the other. The three continued their exchange for what seemed like forever but was, in actuality, only moments. Their pattern of attack, parry/dodge, counterattack was full of acrobatic feats by Maliq. He lept into the air, spinning with his body parallel to the floor to evade a low sweep from his left and landed on his feet. A droid then lunged at his head, forcing Maliq to lean back but instead of leaning forward again to counter the attack, he followed through with a flip, just as his instructor had displayed, landing once more on his feet. Mimicking the example, he then struck the droids in quick succession, causing them to emit a whirring sound and power down.
Maliq paused in his stance and exhaled slowly before relaxing his guard and deactivating his saber. With a smile on his face he nodded to his instructor, hoping the exercise was over.
