"Now when did I say I'd dodge them?" Espy muttered, kicking up a decent amount of sand thrusting her hand into the flying mess. A thin sandy wall congealed at her fingertips, only to be blown apart by the explosives....Fast! she thought, realizing that if she hadn't been even slightly faster, the shield wouldn't have been the objects blown up.

She brought her hand across and threw the dagger forward, hoping that the man had been distracted enough by the sand to not notice it until it was too late.
