[Asura]

Asura grit her teeth as her eyebrows furrowed with slight worry. As much as she would like to pretend that it did not faze her, Iseiah's forced entry into her mind compromised her balance.

I hate magic and mental attacks! she snarled in her fogged mind, cursing her lack of defense to them as she quickly crossed her arms over her face to block the downward sweep of Iseiah's bo staff. It hit with such a force that shocked Asura enough to force her to take a step back to brace herself. But this man is a very strong fighter, stronger than most I have faced. But he is no way strong enough to defeat me.

She flipped her blades to face inward while her arms were still crossed. In a split-second, she sliced them down far enough to bury themselves a centimeter deep into the metal weapon, locking both Iseiah and herself in place. "You are a very interesting man, Iseiah. Few are able to surprise me like this."
