Her own will — regardless of outstanding factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy forced herself up and stared at the only thing she could see: the golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden eyes, which slowly lowered to the ground, stayed still for a few moments; then, coinciding with a low growl, shot forth toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy was standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what could she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could barely fight the cat when she could see.

How was she supposed to defend against anything?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the face of that hopelessness, Toy stood her ground and let the golden eyes encroach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy sent a backheel toward Awilix, but the cat must have dodged because her foot never made contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Toy received a crushing blow to her kidney. But thankfully, that was all she received before she managed to jump over Awilix and retreat to the far end of the Eclipse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain and trepidation filled Toy, but she refused to back down or surrender as Awilix gave chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as Toy wanted to rely on the only thing she could, Awilix’s eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s getting me nowhere!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy took a pained, deep breath, then closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Steps and draft...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only two things she could rely on to face Awilix...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very minuscule sound she made when walking along with the draft of air created by her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy stood still until she felt the tickle of wind bite her cheek. Then, she raised her right fist and punched through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I hit her!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy didn’t know what exactly she hit, but it felt like Awilix’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy, with her eyes still closed, sensed another draft toward her abdomen and spun to the side before punching down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s gotten lazy!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Toy’s fist sailed into something. This time, it appeared to be Awilix’s leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy increased her focus even further and felt multiple drafts at once...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these were simply Awilix’s movements, not attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Toy honed in on the slight changes in the atmosphere, she felt something within her awaken. Like she’d just realized something she’d always had, had been unlocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What the...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toy didn’t know exactly what was happening...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she could sense Awilix’s every movement, almost like she could see her.
