Lexx’s attack wasn’t powerful, meant more to fend Tairan off than to hurt her. He had to test her abilities and attacks. Using too much energy early in the battle would be a bad idea. Instead, he would draw her out. Tairin threw up a shield as the blast hit, sliding her back in the sand. It dissipated in a shower of sparks as she flicked her hand out, a metallic handle forming in first her left hand, then the right. She swung her hand, a sparkling lash forming, crackling and snapping as it extended. Without a word, a smug smile on her face, Tairin charged at Lexx, whipping the energy cords with frightening expertise. Whips were some of the nastiest weapons, their reach in the hands of a proficient user meaning certain pain. Lexx swept his newly formed wings forward, dragging him back and off his feet as the lashes came from him. The tips flipped near his body, sparks striking his skin.
