[b]Theresa stops for a moment, and begins speaking in a strange, unnatural voice.[/b]
[i]Rose of Flames, strengthen thy strength, to destroy the evil.[/i]
[b]Her arms glow with bright, ruby-colored flames, and she slams her sword into the knights, and they go crashing out the window.
Meanwhile, Ephiateus turns toward Balthazar, Excalibur raised.[/b]
"[u]I have more than numbers, old man.[/u]"
[b]He dashes forward, and Excalibur slams into him, creating an explosion of holy light.[/b]
English
-
[u]The hit ricochets off of Balthazar's shield, knocking him back slightly. As he recoils from the hit, he swings his sword with lighting fast speed towards the chest of his opponent.[/u]
-
[b]Ephiateus goes flying back, and he grunts. He charges forward again, showing remarkably substandard swordsmanship for a sword of that caliber.[/b]
-
[u]Balthazar parries the next strike, slamming his pommel into the mans wrist.[/u] [i]You think you honor that holy sword with such poor swordsmanship!? You disappoint those who wield the power to create such weapons with your lackluster use of such![/i] [spoiler]If you want to see what Balthazar's referencing, go check out Pant's quest that I participated in. Whenever I get lucky enough and roll a 20 when powering up, Balthazar channels angelic power through his weapon, gaining the appearance of a war angel. He's based off of the paladin class in DnD, so he knows a shit-ton about holy lore.[/spoiler]
-
[b]Ephiateus seems enrages, and yells,[/b] "[u]EXCALIBUR![/u]" [b]Excalibur begins to glow, and blasts Balthazar with a holy blast. However, it does not harm him, for some reason.[/b]
-
[u]Balthazar walks calmly up to Ephiateus and grabs his wrist, wrenching the sword from his hand.[/u] [i]What have you done to deserve this weapon? You can't even use it's power correctly, let alone make up for that with skill![/i]
-
"[u]I-It was handed down by my fathers before me![/u]" [b]Ephiateus looks frightened behind his helmet.[/b]
-
[u]Balthazar hands the blade back to Ephiateus.[/u] Go. Train with this. Come back and fight me when you are of a more experienced skill, and then we shall fight. I shall not take the life of one who shows potential if it is unnecessary.
-
"He's not the rightful owner," [b]A voice says behind Balthazar. The voice belongs to a man who seems to be around 29.[/b]
-
[u]Balthazar turns, picking up the sword as he does.[/u] And who might ye' be, makin such a bold statement?
-
"My name is Arthur, Balthazar." [b]He sighs, and the sword floats out of Balthazar's hand, landing in Arthur's. When it does, it seems to glow brighter, and an immense aura of pure power fills the room.[/b]
-
[u]Upon hearing the name, Balthazar takes a knee.[/u] I have heard much about you in the tales of old. I am Balthazar Odin-son of the West, the last Abyss Watcher. It is an honor to meet you.
-
"No need to kneel before me, for I am no longer king. Stand, Balthazar Odinson." [b]He extends a hand.[/b]
-
[u]Balthazar takes his hand, standing up to his full height.[/u] Have you come here only for your blade, or dost thou have another reason for coming to this Dojo?
-
"Well, a mere mortal like I cannot survive for millennia, no? I've been revived by a dark sorcerer. I wish to end his life, before going to back to my eternal sleep."
-
[u]Balthazar nods.[/u] It would seen you need help. If I may offer my services in any way, it would be an honor to assist you.
-
[b]Arthur smiles.[/b] "Then I trust I'll see you soon, Balthazar Odinson. That will be all." [b]He turns, and disappears into golden dust.[/b]
