Aether Storm (Mara's Pocky Chain)

“You cannot simply stand there, stiff as a board, child.,” says Aunt Kari.
“But you’re going to hit me!” says Mara, tensing even more, the wooden blade poised in front of her shaking in her grasp.
Aunt Kari is unmoved. Her own sword hangs casually at her side. “I am going to hit you whether you are still or in motion, so you had best put yourself in a position to hit back, or at least to absorb it. Standing rigidly will do neither. You need to be fluid. Now give it another try.”
Mara swallows hard.
