Battered but not beaten

Alisa, naked and embarrassed, scurries upstairs presumably to wash and dress. Meanwhile, The knight draws the axe from his back as his horse runs off. You let the horse go the knight is your main focus. The knight charges

"Taste my axe" the knight screams as he charges you.

You are too drained breath fire this time so you try to dodge. He takes a swing and just catches your wing membrane as he passes you. No flying for you till that has healed, assuming you survive this. You swipe at him with a claw as he turns to face you once again. The claw scrapes the armour scratching it but not penetrating it, it must be steel. This knight must be wealthy you think as blood drips from your wound. Your blood is not black like some stories say but a darker red than that of humans

"Ah, So dragon's do bleed and if you bleed you die!" the knight shouts. He charges you again.

Bruit strength is how you beet armour, drained as you are you still have that. You curl your claw into a fist, wait until the knight is close and punch him in the chest. Your fist takes up his whole chest and you knock him back and on to his ass, denting his chest plate into his chest and cracking his ribs, all of them.

However, as you pinch he swings his axe down into your paw and it sticks in creating a painful wound. As you withdraw your fist the axe stays in your paw pulling it from his grasp as he lays there on the ground.

You extract the axe and fresh pain flows through your body. You sit and suck on your paw like a wounded cat. The knight is still not beaten, he is probably going to die of internal bleeding or problems breathing but he is determined to finish you off.

"I will, arrr, send you to hell foul creature" the knight croaks in pain "even, arr, if I have to drag you there myself" he coughs up blood and draws his sword. Adrenalin fuels him as he charges aiming his sword at your heart.

CRACK

You bring your other paw down onto his head breaking his skull inside his helmet. His skull isn't the only thing that brakes as his sword shatters. He must have spent all his money on the armour and other weapons as a well-made sword would have bent not shattered from that force.

You look down at the dead knight and shattered sword and think.
