[Her relief at the monster turning away from Ashura lasts only for a moment-- she doesn't have her dagger, and as the monster approaches her, far too quickly for her to be able to run away, she realizes she has nothing to defend herself with.
Her breathing quick and panicked, she scans her surroundings, her eyes landing on a branch that's on the ground. She runs to pick it up, turning back to face the monster, waving the branch at it.]
Don't come any closer! Stay back!
[Valiant as the attempt is, it lasts exactly a second as the creature lifts its paw and sweeps it at her. She screams as the branch she's holding as a shield breaks at the contact, the force of the blow throwing her straight at a tree that's behind her, and she drops on the snow with a soft thud... laying there, unmoving.]
