gaze on Kei, who lunged at the vampire with ferocity and delivered a series of blows at a dizzying pace. Forth was completely pushed back into defence, but it was clear that he was planning something. His graceful parries became wider and wider, and the lycanthrope's sword occasionally strayed from its intended path. The vampire was waiting for this. Seeing the cut coming too high, he crouched down and lunged under Kei's guard, aiming his sword at his chest. At the last moment, the lycanthrope bent backwards and performed a backflip almost from a standing position. The shapeshifter landed low on his feet, quickly crouched down and lunged forward again, baring his teeth and resuming his barrage of attacks.
-He's doing well, - Ari muttered.
-Both of them, I think, - the dragon watched the fight with interest. They often trained together, but he had to admit that he had never seen this style of fighting before.
-Kei is better.- The elf turned to Draco, but kept watching the fight out of the corner of his eye.- Forth has given up too much ground. That charge can't be broken.
-He's parrying pretty well.- The dragon glanced at his interlocutor.
-You'll see, it won't last long.
Draco didn't want to argue. It quickly became apparent that Ari was right, and the vampire had lowered his arm too much, which Kei took advantage of to ram him and knock him over. The two began to wrestle on the ground.
-You were right.- Draco was glad he hadn't questioned the elf's opinion.
-Kei is in a good mood.- The elf suddenly changed the subject. The dragon looked at the boy and then assessed the two struggling figures. The lycanthrope, who was certainly stronger than Forth, was having trouble hitting him. The vampire was using his surprising advantage in speed. Draco smiled crookedly when he noticed a vial still glistening with fresh blood lying near the vampire's hand.-Even a very good one.
-We'll see if he'll be in one tonight too.- The reptile muttered quietly enough that only his interlocutor could hear him.
