[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]
