The wild woman kept her focus razor sharp, tuning out the crowd as she waited with bated breath, fingers clutched tightly around her makeshift dagger. For a brief moment Freya mistakes the beating of heavy hooves for her own heart, but she is quickly proven wrong by the centaur's arrival, punctuated by a roar from the crowd. Again her eyes narrow, muscles tense, and as the half-equine woman charges at her she deftly rolls to the side, not taking any chances of her opening attack being a a theatrical feint or not.<br/><br/>"little human"...very well then...<br/><br/>Freya allows herself a small smirk as she hears the rapid gallop circling around behind her. As the centaur charges again Freya straightens her left arm, allowing the handle of the lantern to slide down into her open hand, "Fyraja!" she cries out as she spins towards her foe. She swings the lantern in a wide arc in front of herself and from within it summons a brilliant blast of gilded fire, the flames trailing behind the lantern in it's wake, tracing the same arc as her swing. At the speed the centaur was charging there was no way for her to halt her momentum in time, and the wide spread of the golden flame meant that turning away would do no good either, and so she would be scorched with the full force of the pyromancer's attack.<br/><br/>Counting on the fire's bright, golden flash to temporarily blind the centaur, Freya would immediately bank a hard right and sprint for the tree line. The beast may have used the terrain as cover for her charges, but there was no reason she couldn't use it as well. The centaur was an impressive specimen. It's long, muscular body provided it both great speed and power, which allowed it to launch devastating charges in an open field. However that same size would no doubt make it difficult for her to quickly maneuver in tighter spaces, and so Freya planned to lure her towards the densest grouping of trees she could see. If she could keep her pinned down there, the tight spacing of trees would make it impossible for her to quickly turn her long body around, as well as remove any straight pathways that would allow a charge. Granted fighting among the foliage would no doubt hamper the view of the crowd above, but she wasn't getting paid to entertain them. She was getting paid to win.
