Sparkling Sunrise was starting to feel a bit sore from all the rough housing with the dummy, so she decided to try one more time to lure the motes with her "combat skills" before getting some rest. She glanced around at the other kin fighting and taking on dummies, along with the motes lingering around the edges. They did seem much closer than before! How exciting!

This discovery invigorated her to give it her best once again. Sparkling Sunrise faced away from the dummy, interested in revisiting kicking it. Her back legs snapped back and collided with the wood. The dummy rocked back and forth and a few bits were knocked off, but it wasn't completely down yet. Sparkling Sunrise leapt around to the other side of it.

Sparkling Sunrise squinted, analyzing the dummy carefully. She wanted to get one last good hit in, and hoped it would knock it down. There were two pieces that seemed loosely put together, and she decided that was where she would strike. Turning away once again, she let out a heaving breath as she kicked back into the dummy. Sure enough, it toppled to the ground in a heap. The young totoma was a fit of giggles, excited to have learned she might have a bit of that mountain totoma spirit in her. She would definitely have to explore these skills more later. For now, though, it was time for a nap.
