Snippet #2218263

Max wished the boys would stop with their small talk about bets and just get on with their fight. She watched the two, especially Lucas to see how things would pan out with him, also trying to keep tabs on the rest of the boarder for any other attackers that may join Ish. At the last moment, Max heard a rustle of movement as the birds fleed the tree, only then to see the flicker of a dark sword coming for her. She went to move back, out of it's range, but she had started moving too late and the sword hit her arm. She almost dropped the bow from her hand, though she held on to it as tight as she could as she nimbly moved further along the branch out to the thinner ends of the branch where not many would dare to stand. She had lost the arrow, though she didn't remember dropping it when she tried to jump away. She found Sage as her opponent, frowning a little,
"I should've guessed." She stated, reaching behind her for another arrow. It was harder to shoot at such a short range, and she had to be quick. Anything to get the sword of his hand. Max let the arrow fly the short distance, at best aiming for the sword arm to disarm him, drawing another for the next attack.
