Sounds of blades cutting through some sort of material can be heard, sometimes broken through by a strange sounding whimpers and grunts.
The grunts keep increasing in speed and intensity. The device picks up a sound, which can only be identified as something massive ripping through some sort of material.
The grunts end.
A short silence follows.
The silence is interrupted by someone. The voice is low pitched and deep, implying a creature of quite considerable size.
"Is something wrong?" The words sound slightly guttural.
"What? No. What do you mean?" A second voice answers. It's of a higher pitch compared to the former one, and far more understandable.
"You are clearly unable to focus." The speech of the first person slightly changed, now sounding far less like a savage snarl and more like normal speech. The booming effect is also gone, as if the creature's lung capacity had also diminished. "It's unusual for you."
A short pause followed. Then the first creature started talking again.
"It's about her again?"
"Yes…" The second one answered reluctantly.
"She still can't get over the shock?" The first creature sounds dumbfounded, as if unable to understand the situation of the implied person.
"I think it has gotten worse."
"Worse?"
"Before she mostly lacked motivation, now she completely gave up. She doesn't come to train anymore, and neither spends her time on strategies. She doesn't want to talk about weapons, combat, strategies… It seems that she doesn't want to do anything with combat anymore.
I simply cannot understand such change… Before she was so interested in fighting, so devoted to learning how to duel… She told me several times, that while wielding her blades she felt like flying, she felt free and powerful, she loved felling like this…
But now…"
Later conversation was impossible to decrypt as something of a quite considerable size started moving around the chamber interrupting the sound recordig. The only thing that was possible to decrypt from this part of the recording was that both speakers were having some sort of an argument, which ended as one of them left the chamber.

"What the hell is wrong with…" The sentence is interrupted by shots from a clearly high caliber ballistic weapon. The gunshots are followed by a clink from a gem falling to the ground.
This is followed by a cacophony of roars, screams, shots and clinks from clashing blades.
