Saber's Instinct

Hello, Little Kitten.

Who knew three little words could cause so much pain or freeze a person solid with fear? 

Having sent her protection away, Marsee finds herself trapped between the wall of a canyon in the middle of nowhere and her tormenter, Rip Current, who has somehow managed to escape from under the watch of the guards. Only it's not just her in danger now. She has Stormy to protect. 

How can she defeat a Water Sprite twice her size when he can kill her with a touch? The best she managed before was a scratch, and it nearly cost her very soul. All she can do now is give herself over entirely to her instinct and pray she'll last long enough for Stormy to escape.
