Nory (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=666740)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/AnbOZ9J.png)</div><br/>Nory wasn't sure how Merryn would fare against three opponents. She was more skilled than Nory, certainly, and even more than Kailen, but with the numbers this badly against her, the outcome was uncertain. As she advanced toward her master, she pushed these stray thoughts out of her mind, focusing on what she could see and feel through the Force. Her blade came up, held at the ready, angled toward Merryn. She advanced as Kailen did, half a step further than he was, and to his left. This should keep their blades from clashing.<br/><br/>She lacked in strength compared to most, but she'd spent time learning techniques that relied less on raw strength, and more on speed and finesse. Her thrusts and blows might be easier to push aside, but the idea was that speed and agility would make up for that. It worked for her fairly well, but even still, she seldom won out in duels. To be honest, her skills didn't seem to lie primarily in the lightsaber.<br/><br/>She had the barest flicker of warning, her saber darting up to swat aside a quick blow from Merryn. She shook her head in irritation with herself, again banishing the distracting thoughts.<em>Focus, Nory.</em>She made two quick jabs, blocked easily by Merryn in a casual display of skill. Hopefully she could help create an opening, at least. With an effort, she pushed aside her irritation, trying to completely clear her mind. She focused on the fight, trying to feel, not see, how everything was moving together.<br/><br/>She instinctively reached out to Kailen, feeling him faintly through the Force, giving him vague input from her as well. It was certainly not on the level of Merryn's connections, but the two had sparred together many, many times. While she wasn't familiar with Jekin, perhaps the two of them, working together, would give him his opening.
