[Then Hijikata let go, and she wavered a little on her feet.
Oh- oh, now that she wasn't receiving his touch energy, it became painfully apparent that she was in a much worse condition than she thought. Although she couldn't see the golden light starting to leak out the wounds on her neck and her leg, she could feel the mana holding her form together trying to rip itself apart at the seams-
Her Noble Phantasm already took a huge amount of mana to pull off, and although she tried to account for the extra toll the darkness would take on her, it had a far bigger impact that she expected.]

[Then the ground shook- the remaining Wyvern roaring as it took a swipe at Hijikata and sent him flying. It was still here?? Had it avoided her strike??

If she just...had a little more power...maybe...]
