The fight started before they could say anything else to each other. Logan took the burly axe-man, while Lumara faced the taller, skinnier swordsman. Her eyes narrowed as she roughly grinded her teeth. [i]No wonder why they’ve been so tough to take out. These people are members of the Riders of Dawn.[/i] the grip on her lance tightened, and her hands began to scream with the ache of going through so much pressure. She remembered her bandit family, how they were wiped out by these maggots. The tip of her Killer Lance gleamed dangerously in the hot, Plegian sun as she pointed it at the swordsman. His pale eyes glimmered with malice as he shot forward, swinging his blade and attempting to slice open her belly. 

Lumara was quick. She sprang backwards faster than a startled rabbit and swung her lance. It was long and clumsy to wield in this kind of combat, but at least she had something to fight with. The man was hit with the pole, causing a little damage. He grunted, and sprang back as well. The two circled each other like vicious wolves before they shot toward each other again. Lumara dodged the man’s sword as it came for her chest, and he easily sidestepped the route of her lance’s blade. This man was quick, but she was just as quick. 

[i]All I have to do is make him angry.[/i] she looked at the ground. [i]Even if I have to fight dirty, I’ll win.[/i] 

With that, she suddenly kicked up her foot, spraying dust and grit and sand into the man’s face. He cried out as he staggered backwards, rubbing at his eyes with his free hand. This childish reaction gave Lumara a clear opening. Screaming a battle cry, she sprinted toward him with her lance, and smacked straight into him with the tip. The lance’s tip shot straight through his form after digging into his abdomen. He coughed out blood, and sank to the floor. 

With a scowl, she glanced up at Logan. His face was beaten up. [b]”Oh, look, your face is even uglier than it once was.”[/b] her voice at the moment was unusually bitter, but she ripped off a strip of fabric from her clothes and tossed it at him. [b]”Clean yourself up.”[/b]
