He struck quickly and without warning. One moment he was 5 feet away from her, and then he was behind her. She turned and was about to throw one of her knives at him, but something was missing. the blade was cleanly cut in half. She stared at it for a few moments and then threw it to the ground and immidiately threw the other knife at him. He cut that one in half as well and Crystaall stared as the two halves dropped to the ground.
"Now now, we can have anyone hurting that badly can we?"
"Don't tempt me you evil demon."
"Demon? No. Evil? Yes. Come test your mettle, kiddo."
"I am not your child."
He was tempting her. He was taunting her. And, unfortunately, it was working. She knew to stand back and fight, but her heart said 'strike, and never let up.' She knew her pistols would not work so she decided to run at the man. He deactivated his blade as he saw the girl heading straight for him. He side-stepped as she went for a shoulder charge at him. Crystaall failed quickly, falling into a roll and rising back to her feet, picking up small grains of sand and dust. She looked at the man and raised her right arm. She taunted him with two of her fingers moving back and forth. The man shrugged and charged the small girl and he was successful. She dodged, but she never anticipated the pain. Crystaall had side-stepped in the same motion just like the man, but instead, she had her arms raised up so she could throw the man into the ground. It was simplistic and wise, but with his weaponry, he easily countered. He had ignited his blade and it cut straight through her arms. He was right beneath her when Crystaall began to fall and managed to get out from underneath the falling girl with a second to spare as she hit the ground. The pain was excruciating. At least it was in her own mind. She couldn't even think over the large screams she produced. The pain was unexpected and she couldn't quit screaming, but then she could see a black circle, she tried to blink it away, but after doing so it engulfed her vision, blinding her and silencing her loud mouth. The man stood there at the three pieces. With one piece breathing. The other two were her complete arms, and the girl only had her shoulders left. The robed man sighed as he walked over to her, deactivating the crimson blade and picking her up.
"I told you it would be difficult, Crys."
