Cut in the head

For a while they seemed evenly matched, but then the tide of the battle changed. Grimalkin’s power now ebbed, as Katrina pushed her back like some unstoppable wave. Blood sprayed upward, and a huge groan went up from our side as Katrina drew first blood.

Grimalkin had received a cut above her left eye, and she staggered back, for a moment apparently overwhelmed by her opponent’s furious onslaught. Things were going badly for her. Blood was pouring down, partially obscuring her vision, and she now seemed less agile, barely managing to defend herself against each stab or thrust of a blade.
