Caladan · A story in six frames
Beyond the rain
“On Caladan, rain beat against the stone walls. Inside, another rhythm was about to begin.”
A lowered guard
“My mind is elsewhere today.”
The answer
“Then bring it here first. The weapon facing you won’t wait.”
The slow passage
“The swift blow stopped at the shield. The slow tip found a way through the defense.”
Two possibilities
“I had reached you.”
When the lesson ends
“Reaching your opponent is not enough if you cannot see your own opening.”
