She could hear the sounds now. A rhythmic clanking of metal boots on stone. Heavy, booming steps. 

Someone was definitely coming. 

As she turned to face the doorway, hands on the hilts of her swords, a titan of a knight appeared there, running almost at full tilt. He was covered in gold gilded armour and wielded a huge sword. 

And he was heading straight for her.

Without warning that giant sword was swung, cutting a wide swathe through the air towards her torso. With barely any time to react Itsuki ducked down, bending herself forward in a crouch as the blade swooshed over her back. She felt the air displaced by the blade blow over her as the slash went by. 

Once she was clear of any immediately danger, she straightened back up and leaped backward, cartwheeling further backward into the room to give herself more space.
