Rey stops it's advance, slamming her staff into it with more force than a thin creature like her might be expected to produce. She's been fighting her whole life, and while she may not be an expert with her lightsaber, the staff is an old friend.

She ducks low when it rakes one of it's long hands at her, and twists out of its way, before coming right back in and slamming her staff across the back of its legs. If it weren't a creature created from the Fade, she would have broken it's legs.
