A wave of annoyance returned to Adrian's expression. Had Isen'roy parried the arrow the way he anticipated, the vial would have shattered and coated his blade in water he could manipulate. Had he dodged, the Phoenix would have made an opening he could exploit. But instead, whether through instinct or dumb luck, he once again chose the correct course of action and left the archer with little to work with. [i]And now he's charging. Awesome.[/i]

With his gambit in shambles, Adrian dropped his bow. Not because he was giving up, but because what came next would require a great deal of maneuverability. With a flick of his wrist, a throwing blade appeared in his left hand. He rolled his shoulders and let out a long breath, preparing himself for the stupidity he was embarking on. Then he did the unthinkable. 

Adrian started running straight at Isen'roy.
