A Look at Birthday Presents Chapter 10

It's going to be a while until I post this on fictionpress, but I wrote this today:

Sasha loved the feeling of moving meditation; it was as if her attention existed in the eye of a storm, while the elements blazed around her.  Beyond herself, she sensed Mortimer’s body. The energy within him was patient and fluid, but uncompromising, like the rise and fall of the tides that carved away the sand.  When she moved, it was not to lance out with her physical body, but to facilitate the energy within her in a battle of the elements. 


And yet, each fighter’s essence was intricately tied in with the way the element was expressed.  When she channelled Water, it came to her like a fast flowing rapid under the summer sun.  In Mortimer, it was the suffocating shock of a tropic downpour, or the freezing rainy patches in a fog.  The exchange was more than blows; it was a tale of the experiences inside each fighter.
