[ Lucretia has over a hundred years of experience in practicing magic to Danys' few weeks or months. She's not only mastered most spells, she's developed her own, a spell strong enough to save the multiverse. Add the heightened adrenaline and faster reflexes provided by Rage's blessing, and she should be nearly unstoppable.
The problem is, she knows that. She knows that Dany has no chance here, that it's only a matter of time before she's beaten. She knows she's helpless and afraid. And she's secure in the knowledge that there's nothing Dany can do.
She's overconfident. Barely paying attention to what she's doing, even as she moves ever closer. This is almost too easy.
And that's what undoes her. Because Dany may be a novice, she may be wounded and terrified and struggling to do anything but laugh, but she's also desperate. Fighting with all her will to live. Focusing on the spell with all her concentration.
It's enough. Dany casts the spell, and without blinking Lucretia lowers her staff, turns around, and begins to walk the other way. ]
