Lydia was aware of a strength, a power that she had never before experienced. She was more than aware of the magik the joining of her body to Shenyo’s created. With the sword strapped to her back, she was feeling like a creature of legend, one to be feared and respected.<br/>She turned a brilliant smile his way when he asked about her energy.<br/><br/>“Then I am not imagining it.” Her eyes were sparkling with enthusiasm. “You and I together are lethal to evil.” Her voice dropped to a husky seductive cadence. “I think we should make opportunity to come together quite often.” Her body language invited him and her pheromones rose around her, designed to entice a lover. Only her conscious actions were business as usual. “I feel as if I could conquer the world of evil. Don’t you feel the power coursing through your veins as well?”<br/><br/>He was too busy examining the sword in his hand to pay much attention to her child like exuberance. He lifted his head and asked her,<br/><br/>“Do you know how to use one of these?” the look on his face was almost comical. At least Lydia giggled at him.<br/><br/>Now, she had never touched a blade except to carve meat from a venison haunch or to slice an onion but now, she reached back with the ease of a seasoned warrior. The blade sang as it passed through the scabbard. She held it two handed in front of her body. Automatically, she flexed her knees and a feral look crossed her face.<br/><br/>“Shenyo, something is a little odd, but this sword fits my hands well and my body seems to know the dance of a swordsman. Spar with me.”<br/><br/>She circled him with mock menace, moving the blade in a slight circular motion as she danced on balanced feet. Feinting, she leaped toward him then spun out of his reach. Lydia plunged quick as lightning, stopping the blade short of his cape.<br/><br/>"I find I know this like I would know it was you by your love making in a dark room."<br/><br/>Lydia tossed back her head and screamed a startling primal howl.<br/><br/>"Spar with me." This time her voice was serious and challenging.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
