[Center][color=#C70039][h3]~Isabella~[/h3][/color][/center] [hr] Well...oops~ that was definitely not how she had intended this to go. She didn't even think she had put that much oomph in the swing. Bah, this sword was such a nuisance! Why couldn't she have something much easier to wield? A rapier or dagger would have much rather been preferable to this unsightly, cumbersome thing. But well, that's why she was doing this. It would be better to figure both her and its limits on something likely relatively easy to deal with instead of wait for something much worse to happen. Thankfully it seemed at least the nameless wisp was at least somewhat useful. She was quite surprised, even. Perhaps he wasn't completely useless. As the sword snapped back into place, the force was enough to knock her and him both off their feet, if only for a moment. [color=#C70039]"Urgh, I hate this thing..."[/color] She grunted, rolling over onto her stomach as she breathed. [color=#C70039]"Heavy, cumbersome...doesn't listen...unwieldy..."[/color] She gritted her teeth, slowly getting to her knees as much as her currently winded status would allow, supporting her weight on the blade help her back to her feet. Ugh, this was going to be troublesome. [color=#C70039]"Instead of shouting loudly, Aiv, try actually helping. If it makes you feel any better, remember Nera wants us to kill these things."[/color] Speaking done, Isabella took as defensive of a stance that she knew how, grabbing the hilt of the blade with both hands and holding it in front of her at an angle. She needed to figure out how to use the blade so it didn't always do that stupid whip-thing it did. It could give her a definite surprise edge in battle against something if someone thought it was just a simple sword.
