He raised his straight sword, trying to back away the orb of arcane energy on him, clearly not knowing shit about magic. Zach let out a low growl in his throat, before launching himself angrily, again, at Marcia, aiming a powerful thrust with his straight sword towards Marcia's abdomen, the light yet strong blade whistling quickly through the air.
