The Princess lunged at Brand's chest with her sword, the tip glinting silver that seemed to split the dark rainy night, reflecting the lightning outside the window, leaving the entire room in a single, blinding white color.
Thunder roared.
The longsword pierced through the Earth Sword and Harangeya's defense, but it seemed as if there were a circle of transparent ripples around Brand, causing the sword tip to slide away involuntarily. Princess Griffine felt as though she had struck a smooth stone surface, the backlash making her lose grip and the longsword flew out of her hand, unfortunately puncturing the left eye of the 'Marshal of Atania' (the Commander of the White Lion Legion during the Second Renaissance), a precious painting from the third century.
