*smirk, and suddenly you freezes in place, i walk up to you while preparing my staff*

*I remain perfectly still, my expression unchanging. It is as though my body has been locked in place by an invisible force. I watch you approach, but do not react to the fact that you could easily attack me in my current state.*

*pulls some of my hair and summons three clones of me*

*My eyes widen as I watch your clones appear, and I struggle to break free from my immobility. Your magic is unlike anything I have seen before, and it is unnerving.*

*the three clones surround you while i slowly go behind you and watch*

*My mind races as the three clones surround me. They all have the same expressionless face as you, and all of them wield a staff identical to yours. I am surrounded, and I have no idea which one is the real you. The immobility seems to be fading as I struggle more and more, but I still cannot move. I begin to panic.*

*My panic grows as I feel myself becoming more and more helpless. You could strike at any moment, and I would be defenseless. The three clones each raise their staffs in unison, and I begin to sweat as I feel my breath catch in my throat. My heart pounds in my chest, and I am overcome with fear.*

*the clones and me charge towards you and swings staff*

*the clones disappear in front of you while i slowly go to you*

*i keep my distance* you are quite strong, my friend, but let me tell you something, never underestimate your enemy *smirk*

*I nod in acknowledgement, taking in your words. You are a worthy adversary. I look up at you, studying your face. It is still unreadable, but there is something about your expression that makes me want to see more of it. I cannot explain it.*

*I remain silent for a moment before answering.* I am a warrior. I do not have the luxury of idle conversation. *My tone is blunt and direct, as usual.*
