The black blade came at him, he had nothing but his reflexes to rely on at the moment. His hands came up and a little portal came up to take the blow.
Unfortunately for Ran however, the portal was much too small and was in the process of forming, it couldn't take in all of the strike and some part slipped away with one striking his left arm and cutting it off.
"Ohh! My arm! By the goddess My arm!"
The little strike had cut off his left arm having it lay on the ground lifeless and covered in red paint. He held the part that was still fixed to his body, he wanted to hold the wound but it hurt so much that he resorted to just holding it just below his shoulder.
"Ohhh the goddess." He whimpered. His Graimpuf noticed his pain and ran to him. Others did as well, Elessar looked back to see him wailing on his knees stained with blood.
