[She doesn't even flinch when the guard lashed out at her, for once disregarding her needs to behave like a human and letting her strength uncoil from inside. Had she been a real, human girl, that blow would have undoubtedly knocked her clean off her feet and unconscious. As herself, the fist might as well have been made of feathers.
As Jeanne's moved even closer to the stake, she snaps, eyes blazing with pure hatred for these men around her. She strikes the guard with the sword across his chest-plate, leaving a deep dent in the armour before kicking him hard enough to knock him down into the dirt.
She bares her teeth at the guards around her, looking ready to tear their throats out as she moves closer to the pyre, sword held at the ready. Ridiculous, that even though she hadn't wielded one for a century, the blade, almost as big as her young self, feels like a natural extension of her arm.
Perhaps it was her mothering instinct that brought out the worst in her.]
I shall not leave my child to the mercy of you wretches!
