She heard the ruffle of feathers but much to late to prevent the pain that erupted from between her wings on her back. It sent her falling for a few seconds before she finally got control back and spun around to face the bird. "You are really starting to play at my nerves, boy." Her voice was followed with an unearthly screach. She pumped her wings once, jumping past the body of the bird but her tail whipped behind her in an attempt to either damage her foe's wing or to grab a hold of the creature. It had been quite a long time since she had dueled anyone, let alone someone who had taken her by surprise but despite her annoyance she found that she was enjoying herself.
