[ Mordred's fist connects with Gray's jaw with a muted crack, and Gray tastes blood as she staggers a step backward. When she blinks past the stars, she sees Mordred on the ground, reaching for Clarent.
She should take advantage of Mordred's position and strike while the knight is low and unsteady with her weapon. If Mordred were a simple ghost, Gray would be ruthless about eliminating her. A fight for survival: that was Sir Kay's condition for approval with regards to Rhongomyniad, and Mordred's malice would seem to make this such a fight. Suitably, Gray's motivation for learning to fight was also survival.
But it isn't her motivation this time, and Mordred isn't a simple ghost. This is a battle for worthiness. She won't have Mordred coming out of this complaining about Add making it easy. Gray flings her scythe down, its wicked point biting into the earth so that its shaft juts upward. She abandons it to launch herself at Mordred with a tackle that hopes to roll her away from Clarent, fists flying in a less than precise manner to sock at that all-too-familiar face. ]
