Watched Nyx Quote by Lesley Livingston
““Behind Meriel, I saw that a group of the other ludus girls had gathered and were watching us. They were all laughing, except for the one with long black braids, who just watched. Her name was Nyx. I’d seen her sparring on several occasions, and she’d impressed me with her technique. I, on the other hand, was clearly impressing no one.””
