“How do you feel?” asked Nnagartha. She placed a firm yet gentle hand on Laura’s shoulder.

“A bit wobbly, I guess. This isn’t how I expected my day to go.”

“You will be at ease soon, I promise. This land can have an effect on people. I remember my first time back-“

“What do you mean?”

Nnagartha pulled back her gorgeous auburn hair, more out of distraction than necessity. “Oh, nothing, my girl. Your script is ready, and all the cast and crew have been rehearsing their respective parts. They will be pleased that you agreed to join us. Before the others return, though, I must fight you.” With a quick gesture, she withdrew her sword and flowed into an attacker’s stance.

“Excuse me?” Laura said. She backed up a step and almost tripped over a massive sword on the ground behind her.

“Take the blade,” Nnagartha demanded.

Laura did. It was a lot heavier than the props she was used to.

“Attack me,” the other woman ordered.

“Why?” Laura swung the sword in her warm-up pattern, gauging its heft and size.

“Because I desire it!” And Nnagartha arced her blade in a killing swing.

Laura blocked it, but the blow forced her to her knees. Nnagartha stood over her, sword already sheathed and fists on hips.

“What the hell what that for?” Laura shouted. “You tried to kill me!”

“Not at all.” The warrior offered Laura a hand. Laura refused, standing and brushing herself off on her own. Pleased, Nnagartha added, “I apologize, Lady. It was just a test. Xora brandishes her blade with ease and grace, though I suspect that that has more due to editing than actual warrior’s skill.”

“My swordplay coach says I’m the best student he’s ever had.”

“I don’t doubt that, Lady. You are good-in your world. Here, though, we have set different standards. You must look as though your can fight with Xora’s skill, or else your fans here will be sorely disappointed. Would you like a few pointers?”
