[PP-F9] Go to Hell, but Literally | <<Gatekeeper of Fire>>

[Zandra 0]

Zandra watched as the guys was keeping bringing down the health of the heads. Freyd seemed to also have got the attention of all of the heads focused on him. Zandra took a steady grip off her axe, prepared to rush in to land a hit on the head that still was relatively healthy compared to its brothers. But before she charged in a thougth striked her. Yeah, it would probably be good do that to finish the fight as quick as possible. But to be honest the group was not in terrible danger, so this was a perfect time to practice, to try to actually do what she is aiming to do. So instead of engaging with the beast, she stayed on the spot and with one arm she lifted her axe high in the air. ‘’Lets finish this doggy off. Also, dont worry about the fire, it wont touch you anymore.’’ and with that each player was glowing like silver for a few seconds.

Morningstar could see it.

The sliver of persevering health hung idly by a fraying string. A digit from shifting hues, it mocked them. They stumbled about, calculating and timing their attacks, maximizing sword arts and skills, and tearing down the numbers bit by bit until all they needed was one more attack. And Morningstar could see it so clearly.

The flames that bit at hit his aching skin vanished, although the singe marks on his coat never would. Engulfed by a silver aura, he was freed from their grip; Zandra had taken it on for the both of them.

His steps were slow at first. Methodical. Cerberus had eyes only for Freyd, and when Morningstar realized this, he raised his tempo. He let speed take over, holding back only when he was centimeters from the infernal monster's leftmost head.

He flew, legs kicked back and sword high above his head, and slammed down against Cerberus without a single art.

"I really hate this bloody dog."  Groaning after a searing, magma-drool laden bite had tried to sever his left shoulder Freyd watched as the glowing globules of bile sloughed off thanks to Zandra's timely intervention, adding to those already melting parts of her instead.  "Oh, uh... thanks?  You're okay there, right?"  The unhinged healer's maddened, yet cheerful, grin signaled disturbingly to the positive.  Healers. Weird, but effective.

"Fine, puppers.  You want to play it that way?  Let's see how you like this."

Clenching the void-like wraps hard, Freyd's teeth audibly clenched and ground against one another as oblivion within the artifact weapon sought to devour the digits daring to squeeze at pure nothingness.  As though it might somehow relent to existence?  Purile.  Even the pain suppression algorithms struggled with that one.  All around them, shadows and darkness bent, as light suddenly fell prey to an alternate attraction or distraction.  Each of Cerberus' heads, and those of its newly spawned minions, found themselves yanked by the leashes of their own shades to turn and force their gaze upon the Whisper.  Freyd's eyes, meanwhile, had faded to utmost black, as if the void had consumed him from within, just like it almost had with Orgoth.

Clenching both fists, Freyd unleashed his sword art through the layered shadows that bound him to the surrounding mobs, a wave of bone chilling cold sweeping across the battlefield to dim the oppressive heat of Cerberus' den.  Their attention focused upon him, a most subtle nod was offered to his companions to finish the job.  He would hold the enemy off as long as was necessary.

“If Im okay?” Zandra said to Freyd with a smile on her armor-covered lips. ‘’Hehe, it was long time ago I felt hyped like this.” she with an energetic tone. She could feel her heart beating in sync with the surrounding flames. She was totally on fire right now, both literally and unilaterally speaking. On Freyds nod Zandra took the decision to let her axe do some more speaking, she ran up to one of the two still living heads and with a well aimed swing, she cleaved the first head in two, ending its life. As a follow up, she made a quick turn towards the trio of new reinforcements that have appeared. ‘’Moahaha, this is’’ another wide swing ended one of the weakened hounds life “so frikking” and one final chop killed another doggy “great!” she also tried to get a hit in on the last hound, but she wasnt in shape to be able to do those moves anymore and instead tripped on a loose rock. As she was standing up, it was hard to say what was reddest, her crimson eyes or her face of embarrassment.
