She heard the sword coming and rolled away from where she lay in an attempt to avoid it. But she moved an instant too late and though the sword missed her by a hair, pain exploded in her head. The Void screeched in rage as it tried to push the pain away, but its voice faded into silence. She wasn't dead, but the pain was enough that she certainly wished she was. She tried to push herself up, but her arms shook and wouldn't respond. So she took a deep breath and let the light wash away the pain.
