The heat of the practice field made him woozy. Ottmar’s
face was covered in sweat and his shoulders burned. He yanked his blade up and
into the path of his partner’s own heavy practice sword, groaning with effort. The
force of the blow caused a mighty clang and staggered Ottmar. He barely managed
to block the next attack and was driven to one knee. His partner drew his
leaden arm back for another swing. Ottmar held his sword horizontally and
launched himself at the other man. The dull blade crashed into his partner’s
midsection, sending him to the dusty ground.
