The large bandit throwing his sword off to the side was a great surprise to her, and it would just make the job that much easier.  It got a grin from the woman.  Though the look of fear that she had seen in the raiders eyes for just that one moment was even more surprising, she was too small to just invoke fear like that, she was not imposing at all.<br/><br/>Instead of dwelling on that for any amount of time, having not been given the chance, Aure readied her blades again, and changed her stance slightly.  His words just proved her point about pissing him off.  It gave the young elf the big advantage other than his sudden lack of a blade.  He wouldn't be thinking properly, and she could easily use that to deliver a strike.<br/><br/>As soon as the charge came, Aure held her ground for a moment, waiting till the last instant.  As he came within less than an arms length, Aure just suddenly fell down into a crouch, her longsword pointed strait up.  When the shadow fell over the dark haired woman, every muscle in her legs let loose their energy, and her arms tightened on the blade to keep it stable.  With the experience from the blade against the armor of his back, the sharp point aimed strait at the body should stab through it like butter.<br/><br/>She leaped up, the blade's point aimed up through the raider's stomach, and into his chest with a lightning quick strike, and she felt it go through the armor, and then the large man.  Instantly she felt the warmth of blood falling onto her right hand.  Instead of waiting long, Aure let go of the thin blade to spin around and duck under the raider's arm to go around to his back.  She used then her short sword to cut the back of his hamstrings to force him to the ground.  Lastly she moved around again to in front of him, flipping the sword into her right hand where she used it to slash into his neck.  There was immediately the warmth of a spray of blood hitting her face and the front of her armor.<br/><br/>Once done she watched the raider die off for a moment before she reached under him to pull her longsword out of his body, struggling a bit to actually flip him over to get a good grip.  She hoped someone was watching her back as she pulled her longsword out of the body.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
