Weaponry
She hated that he boasted about a stupid piece of metal like it was something made by a god. What was so special about a blade? Any magic could cut right through it and he'd be left defenseless and defeated.
He bragged far too much about the "usefulness" of swords and handcrafted weapons. Bull crap. They weren't useful at all, and too brutal and unclean for her tastes. Magic was far more civilized and could best any weapon with ease… Not that she'd ever actually been able to defeat him with magic… but still, it was highly superior.
Magic rendered hundreds incapacitated in an instant but a sword? Only one opponent at a time. He was so battle-hungry and harsh and cocky about his sword skills that it only proved her point further in the inferiority of blades. He could jab at the air on his own and call it "training" but really it just made him look like a fool.
Just as a swordsman was common, so was a sword. Hell, she could probably even make one and she'd had no training whatsoever. They were so common. You could buy them dirt cheap on the streets. They were a commoner's weapon. What people bought to keep in their houses for worst case situations so they'd have something to defend themselves with. They weren't something that should actually be a weapon of choice.
What's worse was that swords worked in two ways: stabbing or slicing. Did he actually enjoy impaling others? Did he actually enjoy running head-first into battle and knowing he'd be splattered with the blood of his enemies at the end, all at his own direct hand? She would shiver at the thought.
So uncivilized. So brutal. So common. And he wasn't even bright enough to realize it.
This re-hashes some of the stuff from Sharrkan's first one but gotta get the obvious points of disagreement out of the way right? ;D
I hope you enjoyed!
