Leaf: Chapter 2

Norn grabbed him up by his tunic’s collar, lifting up Raymond to his face. Raymond managed a weak smile before asking, “uhm- nice day isit’?”

“Yes, very nice. For the fact that you have managed to avoid me for nearly three days now” he replied, his voice slick with malice.

Although Raymond saw a movement from the side of his vision, he could not have steeled himself well enough to receive the bone jarring blow Norn given him. He fell to the ground, getting up he wiped blood from the side of his mouth and spat out some of the grass.

“Is that nice? Wanna have some more?” asked Norn, cracking his knuckles and advancing forward.

Raymond raised his fists in defense to the blows that were sure to come when Norn laughed, “Come on, trying to defend yourself against me? You are pathetic, lowest in physical training class and barely scraping through the fighting class. What right do you have to raise your arms against mine?" Nore swung his arms again smashing through Raymond's defense nearly immediately. Raymond heard a sickening crunch before he was flung back.

Now this time, he didn't get up.
