Although the fire sword wasn't completely formed yet as the wood came flying in she did have around two feet worth to work with in solid form while the tip was just plain old fire flicking upwards in the process of forming. She had to abandoned her attack on her enemy right now and instead raised the sword upwards as she ducked down, deflecting the wood past her as she knocked the blunt portion of her fire hard against the wood's bottom edge. The wood splintered into multiple fiery pieces, most of which zooming harmlessly over her should but some were sent down into her face. She instinctively turned her head and closed her eyes, avoiding damage more serious then scratch marks on the left side of her face. The embers showered her for only a brief moment before going out harmlessly.

She stopped her forward momentum as quickly as she could and positioned her sword into a defensive stance. With her eyes momentarily shut she just remembered that she could be in major trouble so needed to regroup before starting on another attack run. She opened her eyes and looked back where she was last standing, hoping to see that she was still there and didn't capitalize on her mistake.
