War (2)

Astrid had known from the beginning that she was a poor match for the general in front of her. She used an axe which required a sufficient amount of force to use. 

On the other hand the man not only had tremendous speed due to his enigma but he was using a far faster weapon as well. 

She could probably do better if she put all her heart into it but there was no need to push herself too much, she needed to conserve her energy in case Charice failed to beat Brennon. 

She also wasn't too bothered by injuries, she was all too used to them. 

In that moment the general screamed, his voice sounding a little more excited than it was meant to be. 

"Come on, don't look at me like that. You should know that our fight will determine the fate of this battle. You're going to have to do a lot more than stare!"

His speed was outstanding and even if she wanted to dodge it would have been difficult if not outright impossible to completely evade the attack.
