Shenyo let out a breath of relief as she started to snap out of it on her own accord. Her will was much stronger than he gave her credit for. It was very possible she was as old if not older than he was, even if she had gone through multiple lives and this was the only one he knew. It was significantly more difficult to take over the mind and body of creatures such as them, but not impossible.<br/><br/>"Care-" He began to speak as it dropped from her hand, only to spin up from the ground and throw itself directly at him. Stepping to the side the blade homed in on him, not having any momentum or planned path. It was simply moving towards him, regardless of where he stood.<br/><br/>With a palm he slapped the flat side of the blade just as it reached him, sending it spinning into the air off to the side. Stopping itself before it hit something, it reoriented the tip of itself to face him and bolted forward once again. This happened again and again, Shenyo deftly moving from side to side, just barely hitting it away. The blade seemed to be picking up speed, glowing with an unnatural red light that originated from the jewel in the hilt.<br/><br/>The enchanted blade seemed to be learning, as it began to stop and start, and shift directions slightly to become less predictable for him. Shenyo was breathing a little harder than he should have been, his hands covered in his own blood. It had began to twist mid-air as well, causing him to slice along his hand if he wanted to push it away.<br/><br/>Finally, seemingly in frustration it flew up into the sky above him, before plunging down in a streak of light. It happened in almost an instant, leaving no time to react. For an instant Lydia saw that Shenyo was simply standing there. Then, just as the blade would have pierced his flesh, he was gone. The blade sunk into the ground just a few inches before the hilt. Just as it did he reappeared with his leg pulled back, kicking the hilt as hard as he could from the flat side of the blade.<br/><br/>It snapped in half like a twig, the hilt scattering across the ground. The red glow stopped immediately as did any further movement from the broken piece of metal. Taking a deep breath and letting it out Shenyo seemed a bit out of breath. It seemed the little stunt he pulled took a larger toll on him than he expected as he rested his hands against his knees. His eyes kept on the hilt itself for some time to make sure it wouldn't continue its mischief.
