<b>"RASHA!"</b>Rasha turned to look at who called her name, and found her heart sinking into her boots, not that she was wearing any.<b>"You will pay for this, all of this!!"</b>The Satyxis watched impotently as sparks gathered around Siva, bringing her weapons up at the ready.<i>"No..."</i>She heard herself whisper as those sparks gathered into a flame that embraced Siva like the corona of a sun. Was this guy really a warcaster? Even with half his armour missing, Rasha didn't think much of her chances to beat him in single combat like this. Maybe if she surprised or ambushed him, yes, but in open battle the odds weren't in her favour against a foe this strong. Rasha turned back to the lifeboat, hoping to leap into it before he could stop her.<br/><br/>The air screamed as the missile seared through it, and Rasha found herself thrown back hard against the deck, crying in pain as she landed on her bad side. Shit, that rib was broken now, Rasha could feel it. Over the burning pain in her side she could hear Siva laugh like a madman, yet she had trouble standing, curling into a ball of pain her body was refusing it's commands. Seeing him approach, the Satyxis managed to roll back at the last second, Siva's blade biting into the wood as Rasha got clumsily to her feet, adrenaline coursing through her body, letting her at least put up a fight. She shook her head at his taunting words and launched forward, using her chain to deflect his halberd while aiming a slashing blow to his throat from the side.<br/><br/>Yet it was but a feint for Rasha to dart past the paladin towards the ship's railing, where her escape vessel had been moments ago. Leaping onto and balancing on the edge, she stared at the burning wreckage slowly sinking into the sea with wide eyes before turning back to Siva, cursing him with her every breath.<i> "Fuck your Menoth and fuck you too! It would've been so much easier if you just let me go. Look around you! I took out the fucking ship and this is just the tip of the iceberg if you think you can turn me into your animal! Kill me or let me go! I don't care which but I'll make you bleed for every second you keep me a prisoner!"</i><br/><br/>She launched forward into an attack again, though Rasha wasn't as brazen to simply leap at the paladin, that was a good way to get skewered on that halberd. Instead, she weaved left and right, trying to flank Siva while coaxing him into an attack. He had the range with that burning weapon, but if Rasha could get close after he was committed to an attack he would be defenseless against her blow. Of course, pain was slowing her down, and while Rasha hadn't noticed it yet, her flank had been torn open, making her bleed heavily.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
