"Run."

As the Belisian whispered in her ear, Lucina flinched and huddled up into a defensive posture, fearing an imminent attack. When the following blow struck her in the back of the head however, it bounced off as harmlessly as a pebble striking the face of a boulder and in that instant, Lucina learned everything she needed to know about her opponent. Rather than launching a counterattack however, she merely turned to face him while calmly lifting her battleaxe free from the deck with a squeak of metal.

"Run?" she said as she held her weapon loosely in both hands, regarding Tyrhallan with clear disdain. "[i]Run?[/i] You are not even capable of wounding me!"

Though the two were of her similar height, the Belisian may as well have been facing a giant for all the ki empowering Lucina's body and the disparity in strength made clear by his earlier attack only served to enrage the Vaimese captain.

"To think that my men fell to one such as you... I expected to face a fellow warrior, but you are a mere assassin. A blade in the dark that can only strike with speed and stealth, and you dare to accuse me of cowardice?"

Pointing her battleaxe back the way she came where she had followed the trail of bodies left behind by the Belisian, Lucina continued with barely suppressed rage in her voice, "You did not even give them a chance! On my life, I swear I will kill you!"

As she raised her axe to strike however, the frigate jolted violently as though it had collided into something, knocking it askew.

"What was that?" Lucina had time to say before the entire ship quaked again, forcing her to stumble onto a knee. Then with an accusatory glare towards the Belisian, she added, "More trickery?"
