"Yes, victory!" The elven princess thought, the finishing blow mere moments away, only to be stopped just in time by a most unexpected arrival. A large quantity of irritating dust burst into her eyes, temporarily blinding her, and a powerful tremor at her feet threw her off balance, causing her to first stumble forward and then tumble back onto her own hindquarters rather ungracefully, landing very close to where the orc was struggling. Inconceivable! She cursed her own bad luck and the horrible orcs that caused things to come to this, as well as whatever it was that had attacked her like that.

Knowing that he was so close to her she lashed out with her feet, trying to kick him before he had time to do anything to her. Her legs and feet glowed with runes as they powered her strength and speed to inhuman levels, like how she had been keeping up with the physically more powerful orc until now. This allowed her to have that advantage over him, but she had used a lot of her magic in the opening spell that she was forced to waste on his magic so could tell she was weakening, her kicks loosing their power even as she did them just now.
