[quote=Zoe Beringer] ((Tomato tomatoe))The recoil from the strike buckled Zoe's knees and snapped her arms back causing the axe to slip from her hands and fling toward a bank of snow. Falling on her side, Zoe skidded backward slamming into her pack inches from an outcropping of ice. As she lifted herself up from the ice, her parted lips allowed a trickle of blood to spatter into the snow. She snapped off the clips from her crampons and gripped both in the palm of each hand. Shakily standing, Zoe raised her spiked fists while bracing her back boot with her pack. [/quote] Drac holds up his hand. "Well come on then." He says waiting for Zoe to attack.
