Sword Swing

The armored woman was back. With sword in hand, she ran up from behind the dragon, and stomped on its toes with her metal heel. The dragon roared in pain, spun to face her, which meant that he dropped Sheik to the floor. The armored woman brought her blade low and swung up with all her weight.

The dragon’s chest was nowhere near as armored as its shell, but it was thick enough, taking the blade without drawing blood. It was a strike quite less lethal than the armored woman wanted it to be, as she was now well within the dragon’s range.
