Right, left, dodge back, it was a complex dance that Rasha and Siva were in, she kept away from as much as she could, and dodged at the last second to unbalance and frustrate the paladin. Outmatched, the Satyxis knew a single blow could fell her, but his temper made his attacks predictable, and Rasha started to recognize the pattern in them. She weaved forward, dodging under the pole swinging at her and forward into him, her stolen blade leaving a bloody scratch as he lunged back and forced Rasha to retreat, lest she be hit by the halberd and flames twirling around him. Rasha shook her head at his words.<br/><br/><i>"Give? Nay! I'll force you to choose one!"</i><br/><br/>Rasha dodged to the left, preparing to evade Siva's halberd as he leaped forward, yet came was not the fire-clad steel of his weapon, but a powerful blast of fire that knocked Rasha off her feet. She grunted as she hit the deck, quickly pushing herself up. The amount of times she had to pick herself off the floor was getting ridiculous. Feeling a spike of pain through the adrenaline, Rasha touched her side, surprised to find a warm wetness. Inspecting her hand revealed it to be dripping with blood, her own, and only now she noticed just how heavily she was bleeding. Shit, there was no way she could defeat Siva, not like this, she'd collapse from bloodloss before wearing him down.<br/><br/>The Satyxis was forced to continue her thoughts another time, as a flurry of blows from Siva forced her back on the defensive. She skidded backwards, slipping briefly on her own blood but managing to catch herself and dodge Siva's nect blow. Panting, she watched as he retreated a few steps, giving her a brief rest.<b>"Feeling tired?"</b>She snorted at his words, shaking her head despite her obviously growing fatigue.<i>"I'm not tired? I'll be tired after I feed your father your ashes and make your mother scream my name in pleasure. This... this is just me getting started."</i>Despite her words, Rasha carefully considered her options.<br/><br/>Something caught her attention out of the corner of Rasha's eyes, and she turned her head to watch one of the last remaining lifeboats be slowly lowered to the water by it's crew. Casting a glancing to Siva, the Satyxis turned tail and raced over to the lifeboat with a stumbling step. If she could get there before him, she could cut the ropes and simply ride it down to the water, then she just had to kill it's crew and row it away to leave the paladin on this burning wreck to drown.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
