She did not try to "stop" the attack with her newly formed mental shields, but instead used skills learned from her shielding spells, forming her shields into a wedge and "splitting" the attack with its cutting edge. Her incredible single-mindedness and strength of purpose even allowed her to carry the defence into an attack which Indigo barely expected, but still turned aside, if not with ease, then not with extreme difficulty. Then, he happened to look around and saw that they were no longer in the Inn. She had somehow moved them away and had encased him in a tightening sphere of force. With the attack over, she quickly gained control of her senses and moved them back to their positions in the Inn and dispelling the force sphere. "An apt test, but I was not totally unprepared as my teachers of old would have attempted a similar test." At this she smiled at Indigo and said, "I apologize for any discomfort that my reflexive attack may have caused, good Indigo." ----- Master Hawk Leader of the Night Parade "And it shall come to pass that what men made shall be shattered, and the Shadow shall lie across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One shall once more lay his hand upon the world of man." -from The Karaethon Cycle: The Prophecies of the Dragon.
