Oooh, an emotionally vunerable princess who's too naive for her own good. That is Lyon's favorite type of woman! The prettyboy prince turned demonic bad boy has some of the nastiest damage in Middle, with a single shot of Naglfar having the power to destroy accomplished warriors in a single blow. The Necromancer's defenses are more than enough to shut down Natalia's pitiful excuse for offense, and it's not like she'll be able to close the gap with her arrows fast enough, with a single shot of Lyon's damage being enough to overwhelm her healing. The powers of the Sacred Stones should be enough to shut down any attemps at alternate strategies the princess can muster, leaving Natalia in the unenviable position of having to slay a fellow gifted with the power of the gods with a longbow.

Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear is not pleased with her opponent this week. A prince who led his nation on a conquering spree - and ultimately its ruin - for poor reasons? That's exactly what Natalia was trying to prevent! She's a princess, dang it, even if she's not, and will uphold the honor of peaceful princesses everywhere by calmly shooting Lyon full of arrow-holes. As it happens, Natalia's got some light-elemental abilities in her quiver to get prized magic triangle advantages over Lyon's odious dark magic, which will help further deplete Lyon's spell resources. Even when Lyon's dark magic finds its mark, Natalia's got plenty of healing to outlast the crazed Prince of Grado with, eventually smiting him with the might of Astral Rain. If Natalia's lucky, Asch will even be impressed at this victory!
SageAcrin You know, it's tough, when you only get a few shots.
You have to carefully decide where to place them, for maximum efficiency.
Therein lies the problem.

"Well, I could just plant them all in the groin, but that doesn't seem sporting..." Natalia mused, from across the arena.
Lyon sighed. "You've been puzzling this out for two hours. Are you ever going to shut up and come into range so you can be counter-attacked and die?"
"Well, not until I've decided the optimal method of atta-" "There is no optimal method. You. Die. Anyways." "Well, there is a matter of pride in utilizing the best options, in putting up the best fight, before losing, even if that is s-"
"Look, I'll give you a large pile of gold if you forfeit." "I'm a princess. I don't really need that."
"Well, what do you need!?" Lyon snapped, annoyed.

Natalia giggled to herself.
"Wow, that worked way too well." She laughed softly, eying the scantily clad picture in her hands. "He's really not the patient type. Or anything but the eat babies type. But, still, he's pretty. Not my type at all, but pretty. Mmmm, bishies. Now, to taunt Anise with the picture and the fact that I turned up a large pile of gold from the guy. Hopefully she'll just drop dead."
