Reading the attack.

You just bend your knees slightly, crouching down as you ready your weapons in a defensive position, watching, waiting for the Sunrider to charge into you. Ten feet...Six feet....Three feet....One...

You drop your right knee, falling down to the ground, as you do, you bring your short sword perpendicular to Tianna's shin. As she continues to charge past you, your blade cuts into her extremely deep, it slices across her shin and around her leg into her calf. She moans in pain as her body falls to the ground right behind you.

As you stand up, you look at your blade, covered in the red blood of Tianna. You look at her, she's facing you now, on her butt, one hand gripping her leg, the other still holding her buckler up as best as she can, with her non-injured leg was trying to push her body backwards, distancing herself from you.

"Tianna...come on."

"FUCK OFF!" she shouts loud again.

"You can't..."

"Ahhhhh..." she grunts out in pain as she pushes her body back to her feet. A pool of blood forming on the ground where her leg was just rested. "Fuck..." she grumbles as she starts to hobble back towards you.

You give her credit, she is trying her best to constantly stay on the offensive, as poorly as that is going for her...

She's just like injured prey now. As she continues to limp in your direction, you can see the pain in her face. She can barely even apply any pressure on her left leg. You know you must have did some pretty bad muscle damage with your attack. It appears that one connection pretty much sealed the deal.

"Ughhh!" she moans as she takes another step towards you, inching closer and closer "Fight me!"

You step forward, slashing your sword into her shield, thrusting your dagger afterwards before slashing once more. You're not really trying so hard at this point as Tianna is just trying her best to defend your attacks. It's not long before you just drop your short sword, grip the side of her buckler with your now free hand and with all your **** you pull it away from her body. The leather strap she was using to hold onto her shield was pulled from her grip.

As the shield leaves her body, you toss it to the side, it spins on it's side just briefly before tumbling off the side of the plateau.
