somehow...someway...there was a path that lead you to Sinners Road without any need to go through Deep Docks.

A shortcut!....you thought. Well, it was true, it was indeed somewhat of a shortcut, but it still took effort. Without a map of Deep Docks, why bother going there? Shakra wasn't THAT hard to find .... you'll explore there later.

Though, apon your arrival in Sinners Road, a soft humming could be heard. Looking around there was no one...that was until you looked up.

Sitting up apon a tall metal cog with spikes, sat a fencer embodied completely in silk. Noticing your presence, her humming stopped and instead a giggle escaped her. Her white eyes lingered down at you.

"You weren't in the Deep Docks...I was waiting...and waiting...yet no opponent came! Wasting my time...perhaps you were too scared to fight me!"

She lets out a manic laugh, dramatically throwing her left hand over her forehead. Once finished, she slowly looked back to you

"You seek the Citadel yet you lack the courage to face me yourself...c'mon...fight me...what, did you REALLY think you could skip past me?"

The fencer dropped down from her post, landing in front of you. She points her golden pin at you and cocks her head.

"Lace. My name is Lace. Now that we are somewhat acquainted....fight me."
