The wave of fire and force that emanated from the witch before she disappeared hit Talon like a hot brick. Suddenly though, he could feel his arm again.. and move his legs!! Whatever evil magics she had used to immobilize him had somehow been dispelled, but Gods did his body hurt! And it was moving slower than it should. 

The witch suddenly was behind Nala, Talon gripped his sword and willed himself onto his knees and toes like a runner. Nala dropped, Talon's eyes shot wide with surging adrenaline and he struck out with the point of his sword like an angry viper. The sword sailed just over Nala's head as she was falling and Talon locked eyes with the surprised witch who seemed stunned and slightly annoyed that he was on the offensive, then her eyes moved to point of his sword as is moved with deadly force towards the space between her eyes.
