"Cross Grave!" Allen said.
A blast broke through the forest, and was returned by a blast of wind and destruction.
"That was Waltz: Mist Wind." A girl said. "You could be destroying someone's home, being reckless like that."
"I was preparing for the day when I can go out and fight the Akuma plaguing our land." Allen said.
"You certainly have a nice weapon for it." The girl said. "My name is Lenalee Lee."
She bowed. "You must be—"
"No. I'm not." Allen said. "I'm a stable boy. My name is Red."
"I'm a shepherdess. I live out in the hills. I came to the palace to trade the wool we make." Lenalee smiled. "What do you say to a battle? Your arm against my boots?"
She kicked up her feet, clad in Dark Boots.
Allen smiled. "You're on."
