Snippet #1713968

They'd all been laughing, joking, making light of the dire situation they'd been in moments before.
Rania had turned her back for a moment, a child had asked for her attention. It couldn't have even been thirty seconds, but when she turned back all she saw was the mangled corpse of her driver, and first true friend, hurdling at her.
She didn't react quick enough to even try and weather the impact, it hit her full on knocking her to the ground. In the process of that, she let go of her blade, which landed a bit away from her.
For most people this was where panic would rear it's head and cloud all judgement, but Rania was long trained to allow no such thing.

"Shit..This is bad, I'm trapped under a corpse easily twice my weight, my blade is just out of my reach..And this...Thing, that attacked me..Not good. Far stronger than I am, crude tactics can easily catch a person off guard. I don't know if she's fast yet, but I highly doubt grace, and her speech alone is an indication of her intelligence. So is a frontal assault in broad daylight.."

A plan was already forming as she began to "struggle" to get the corpse off of her.
In truth, she was only wiggling from it slightly, inching towards her sword, if she could reach it before this beast came to finish her, she had a chance.

"Damnit, I can't get up!"
