7 panels total.Top: 2 medium panels.Middle: 3 fast-paced action panels.Bottom: 2 large cinematic panels showing the duel reaching its peak.
PANEL 1 — VERTICAL ADVANTAGE
Edmond suddenly disappears from Scáthach's line of sight, launching into the trees with incredible speed.
The camera looks upward through the forest canopy as his silhouette leaps between thick branches. His long coat and black flames trail behind him, blending into the darkness while scattered leaves fall toward the ground.
Scáthach remains below, standing perfectly still.
PANEL 2 — THE HUNTER
Close-up of Scáthach.
Without turning her head, her eyes follow Edmond's movement through the canopy. Her expression remains calm and analytical, reading his trajectory before he attacks.
A few leaves drift past her face while moonlight catches one crimson eye.
PANEL 3 — DESCENDING STRIKE
Edmond bursts downward from above like a falling shadow.
His body is angled diagonally, one arm wrapped in dark flames as he delivers a powerful descending strike. His coat billows dramatically behind him, making him resemble a black comet cutting through the moonlight.
Broken branches and scattered leaves follow his descent.
PANEL 4 — PERFECT COUNTER
Tall vertical panel.
Scáthach steps forward instead of retreating, thrusting her spear upward with flawless timing.
The spear passes within inches of Edmond's face while his flaming strike narrowly misses her shoulder.
Both attacks stop just short of landing, demonstrating absolute precision and trust in each other's skill.
PANEL 5 — FLASH EXCHANGE
A wide action panel showing multiple overlapping afterimages.
The clearing fills with rapid movements as Edmond circles with impossible speed while Scáthach pivots smoothly, chaining thrusts, sweeps, and feints into a seamless flow.
The surrounding trees bear fresh cuts, bark splinters fly through the air, and countless leaves are caught in the vortex created by their movements.
The choreography should feel elegant rather than chaotic.
PANEL 6 — THE FOREST BREAKS
The accumulated force of the duel finally affects the environment.
The ground fractures beneath their feet, roots burst through the soil, and several nearby trees shake violently from the repeated impacts. Dust, leaves, and broken branches fill the clearing, partially obscuring both fighters.
Despite the destruction, neither combatant appears to have gained the advantage.
PANEL 7 — STANDSTILL
Large cinematic panel across the bottom of the page.
After one final high-speed exchange, Edmond and Scáthach pass each other and stop several steps apart, backs facing one another.
A gentle breeze settles the airborne leaves as silence returns.
Both slowly turn their heads just enough to glance at each other over one shoulder. Their expressions carry the same faint smile—an unspoken acknowledgment that neither has been able to outmatch the other, and that the duel has only sharpened their respect for one another. The moon hangs high above the clearing, illuminating the battlefield before the final exchange to come.
