Ceres snorted, then Stepped in front of the door, only to meet an extremely Large guard, who had lifted a massive axe and was about to bring the double-bitted weapon down against the sword jammed across the doorframe, which impeded the large warrior's forward movement. Ceres' appearance, however, caused the guard to step forwards, yelling in fury as he tried to bury the axe into Ceres' lithe frame.<br/><br/>Neatly taking a half-step backwards, She let the axe split the air in front of her, though the spike-tip between the twin blades scraped her left thigh as the Axe's steel haft smashed against the sword, bending the lighter blade downwards, but also causing the heavy weapon to shiver itself free from suddenly-numb fingers. Ceres' response was to lean back in and punch the Elite soldier with both hands, and, while her Talons could not penetrate the plate mail the soldier wore, nor was her dagger lucky enough to find a chink in the Man's plate, the sheer impact and the strength displayed by Ceres sent him tumbling some feet back, leaving the Large soldier supine, staring at the ceiling of the short hallway between the stairs and the room the Trio were effectively trapped in.<br/><br/>Picking up the Heavy Axe, Ceres smiled, hefting it for a moment, then deliberately turned her back to the Soldier as his helm tilted towards her, the first sign of the soldier recovering as she fluttered her wingtips at the soldier, enraging him, before she shook her posterior at the man, flaunting her appearance, and her draconic heritage, before she threw the Axe, hard, against the locked shutters of the lone window leading out of the chamber, the weight and force of the weapon splintering the wooden shutters and forcing them wide open, leaving Ceres an Escape route as she stepped to the side, pausing behind Soanala for a moment, before moving to the Window, and handing off one of her few remaining spare knives to Silet.<br/><br/>Smiling, she tapped the knife once. "Try not to break it. But, if you do, well.... I understand."
