It is movement. Control, precision. Every muscle screams in anticipation of the next shift, no rest for pure momentum. Every step is practiced and placed, right down to the stomp significant to the routine.

Air whirring over the katars in hand, the metal vibrating with a musical hum, an out-of-place jovial tune to follow elegant swirl of arms as both balance and emphasis to the dance. To skirmish is an art, as dance is an art, with the soundtrack behind. Fluid combination makes her untouchable, impregnable. Split-second choreography is always the better, unpredictable to both parties.

Harder to track, harder to counter. A juggernaut of motion, like the painter’s brush.

Wrists snap, angles shift just slightly, the blades’ key changing from major to minor. From angelic choir to funerary dirge, one final swirling step to avoid a single sluggy projectile and she is airborne. The katars utter a hiss, their song interrupted with the sound of splatter.

The art of dance was never meant solely for the theatre’s stage.

Thinking on trying to keep up with these; still dunno if I want to do every day, every other day, or once a week. 
If you want to try them, lemme know and I’ll link you to the list of Prompt Themes I’m working from.

I’ll try to keep them short, but depending on the prompt may depend on length.

Slugterra and all affiliated is Nerd Corps
OCs used are mine, as current - Any others used will be acknowledged as I go along
