Art form Quote by J.D. Lakey
““The pain and exhaustion of her body dropped away from her mind as she gathered the energy of the world and let it fuel her body. She forgot Seawind’s enmity, the Hunter in the forest, the Coven’s need to lock her away, and the possibility of her own death. It was just her, her two short sticks, the boy in front of her, and the dance between them. Serenity filled her, the motions of the sparring match an art form of perfect symmetry.””
