I'm going to praise both chapters in one almighty blow here.

An excellent battle in the first chapter, although a tad short. Not too short, but just a few lines short. Anyway, Radium's more skilled with a lance than I had previously believed; I originally thought lances were cumbersome weapons. Meh.

The second fight was also not bad. Swordplay is good, on all accounts. I have to reiterate that you put a lot of detail into battles, because it's obviously true. Anyway, I can't wait to see more battles like these.
