The huge crowd is already cleared, Anna tore through each and every one.

  Yellow lightning bolts fly across the field at James who is making barriers barely fast enough to redirect the bolts.

  He's running out of stamina fast and Henry still hasn't even stepped forward once.

  James needs to find some way to close the gap, maybe if he extended the use of the barriers but he hadn't held one for longer than a couple seconds.

  His best bet would be to create some sort of diversion.

  He can't think of any Aspects he's good at using that could do this so he'd need to think of one he doesn't usually use.

  Darius' Aspect.

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  He creates a small but long lasting flash in Henry's direction, noticeably decreasing his durability for the duration.

  James uses the opportunity to close distance.

  He closes the distance fast, Henry tries backing up but is stopped by one of James' barriers.

  Henry looks back, startled by the sudden wall behind him, not realizing how close James had gotten.

  James clenches his fist, Aura welling before crashing his fist into the side of his head, making Henry's face smash through the barrier, breaking it immediately.

  Henry reels back and falls to his knees, coughing up blood and teeth.

  Henry stands up slowly, clearly angered.

  He tries wiping the blood from around his mouth, only spreading it more.

  James hesitates, seeing the pain he caused, leading to his gut being kneed sharply.

  James takes the blow better than Henry did, standing straight after just a little, still rattled.

  James realizes his foe is more fierce than he thought at first, not many could take that level of a blow and keep dishing out hits.

  He begins thinking through his options before something cuts the tension in the air, changing the entire atmosphere of the field, even noticeable by people who couldn't see it.
