The fire burst definately did its job, it cleared the suspicious mist, the fire wasnt able to hurt the man much beyond his cape, but that was fine she wasn't aiming for him anyway. The opponent was prepping the next attack, his sword style was very interesting, Rodetta was used to high ranking soldiers swinging swords as if they were cutting wood, but this Ryllan warrior moved like an eastern assassin or a fencer from the northlands his stance after rolling back from the flame's path was elegant and hypnotic. Rodetta silently grunted in admiration.

He tossed one of his swords in the air and formed another out of the same strange mist from his scabbard, there was obviously an attack coming, and it was going to be creative, Rodetta needed a safe maneuver and it would be tricky but very do-able. 

Like a well conditioned spring, Rodetta took to very quick steps back before making a huge back jump which allowed her to clear 2 feet while still facing her opponent, while midair in her back jump she hurled her weapon like a javelin at the man, aiming for his mid section so she would be most likely to hit something at this fairly close distance. After hitting the ground she would raise her shield once again ready to defend, and use her now free hand to have her hand close to her sword handle, all the while back stepping further away if he chose to advance.
