Celeste was a bit surprised at the creature's extreme mobility. Her eyes followed Taggerung as he lept over blade and landed several feet away. He charged again, and she prepared herself for the incoming attack. He was fast, that was certain, and she had no intention of finding out how sharp those claws were. The creature charged forward, a strange grinding sound filling the air. Celeste watched closely, her knees bending ever so slightly as her foe approached. Almost....there. Only a moment before Taggerung struck, she kicked off the ground, throwing herself into the air. As she jumped, she pulled her knees up to her chest and flipped clear over Taggerung's head. She landed softly on her feet, and turned with a quick pivot the moment her feet struck soil. There was a sound similar to ripping fabric, and the golden blade of her curved sword tore through her cloak in a stab towards Taggerung's spine. Her hood had fallen back in the quick maneuver, revealing a head of brilliant crimson hair, pulled into a ponytail and reaching a bit past her shoulders.
