Hit by Lung's tail

I charged forward, Balmung trailing behind me, and Lung reached out and swiped at me as I came upon him, bright yellow flames blazing in the wake of his arm. I ducked under it again, but it seemed he’d learned from last time, because he spun with his swing and his half-formed tail came around for my head. I straightened and took it on my ribs, heavier and harder than the last one that hit me, but still not enough to really hurt, then wrapped my free arm around it and pinned it against my body. With my other arm, I brought Balmung down and cut the tail off of his body.
