The way he used his ability to form a spear was impressive to her but she knew he likely could only go so far with that ability. She assumed it had to be taxing on him the more he used. Her plan was to simply try and wear him down and then attack him when he is least expecting her to change from defense to offense. She noted him charging at her but was a bit surprised as he sent a crescent wave at her and darted off to the side.<br/><br/><em>'Diversions...'</em>she thought quickly.<br/><br/>She looked down and noticed her shadow beneath her was of a decent size as she was closer to the forest line. She took a deep breath, watching the crescent attack before suddenly the shadow enveloped her and just as the crescent was about to hit.... she was gone.<br/><br/>Appearing in the shadows behind Emil she made a mental note<em>'One...'</em>she then slowly willed the shadows towards the currently expecting Emil. If she could get her shadows to reach his, she could use Marionette to freeze him in place and essentially earn a check mate. It wouldn't come easy though, the sun was high which meant her shadow couldn't travel far. This meant she had to be closer to him then she was comfortable with.<br/><br/>The shadows tendrils crept slowly forward, her being less then fifteen feet from him. She wasn't sure if the tendrils would connect before he could take notice and turn to find her. If they did connect, the marionette ability would take effect immediately and freeze him in place. She may not be a fighter normally but she did enjoy a good game of chess and loved strategics. Her above average IQ made it easy to plan several steps ahead and she already had a defense prepared if he was to turn and attack.
