[Serion D'Rinishad]

Serion nods as Areka responds. "Your main hand needs to hold the heavier weapon. The lighter weapon allows your off hand to react much more swiftly."

Shifting his legs, Serion maneuvers his feet into a front stance, his right foot forward. Both glowing daggers shine in the older vysstichi's hands as he holds his arms in a defensive stance. His left hand is held about an inch from his chest, while his right arm is held out, pointing slightly towards the ground. "Standing so that one side faces your opponent gives them less of a target. With your left hand, keep the dagger ready to defend your vital areas, such as your torso and head."

Letting his outstretched right arm move up and down, showing the range of motion for the stance, Serion continues. "Your right arm is meant to keep people at arms reach, and to redirect attacks from longer reaching weapons. Take the position up, and I'll show you how to react when attacked during different scenarios and with different weapons. Nothing too hard, just enough to give you a feel of your stance."

Giving Areka a chance to take up the position, and ask any questions, Serion will let Faust, once again, correct her. Meanwhile, the dark elf lord will begin to Meditate, tapping into the holy essence plane once more. Altering his Sabre of Light spell, the blades begin to elongate, creating short swords from the daggers, while maintaining his original stance. This exercise was simply meant to help Serion build up his vis stamina, but it would help him train Areka as well. What better spell than this to train a person for different scenarios--it sure beat running around with eighty pounds worth of weaponry.
