Before Sabine could stand half way up, she was knocked down to her knee again by a blow to her shoulder. Wulanxeek was met by another short shout of pain, but Sabine's swing at his legs did manage to hit as well as she had hoped. Wulanxeex had fallen prone and she had some extra space. Sabine stepped back, held the length of her staff over her head, and tried to bring it down on Wulanxeex's torso. She was so drained and dizzy that she was surprised that she was able to keep herself from falling backwards. The time she took to try and get her balance resulted in enough time for Wulanxeex to at least defend himself.
