Liara managed to jump back as the menace blocked her attack. She noticed a grin slip on his face, her attack wasn't merely deflected, it stung a little too. [color=#8FBC8F][i]Good ... at least there will be some satisfaction after all[/i][/color]

She flipped the grip of her weapon, taking on a more traditional stance with the blades and readied herself for what was to come. The strength in his swing was undeniable, his weapon came from overhead and met hers with a heavy 'clang'. It would prove a miracle if her bones had not shattered from the force alone. But she couldn't give in. Not like this. She blocked the attack with her right side, using her left hand to motion her blade out and up, from the tip of his rib cage to the tip of his ear. There was another move that she could've used, but she savored the challenge, was thrilled by the battle. Something had crawled out from the dark pits of her past.  

The noise of the outside world fell mute to this moment. The cries of her men as they fell, the sound of defeat that hung in the air, all was quiet for just a sliver of time. The demon had been unleashed, and it felt good.

Her hands moved in unison, the blades swiping at the air in front before she tumbled back. A smirk lifted the edge of her lips. Her gaze drifted beyond him for a moment to notice the chaos that befell the battlefield, and the hordes of undead that were upon them. She eyed Gormagh and sighed softly. [color=#8FBC8F]"Another time, perhaps"[/color], she addressed her opponent, chuckling softly. Her eyes returned to their striking blue, and lingered back to the form before her.  [color=#8FBC8F]"The duties of a lady are never ending, it seems"[/color], her words were laced with sarcasm and the smirk was slow to fade. She whistled a sound of retreat to whoever was left on the battlefield. [color=#8FBC8F]”Rangers, fall back!”[/color], she yelled out. Her eyes were fixed on the redheaded man as she slowly backed up from her position, treading towards Gormagh.

She rolled her shoulders, shaking off whatever influence the demon had left over her actions, her movements, and the darkness retreated within once more. She would face him again. And the earth would tremble and the heavens would cry. What a battle that would be.
