Snippet #2695334

Ravyn could hear the words of the blood mage and shivered as he tried to ignore them. Though he had to admit he had an interesting sense of humor, though he would have given the feline a higher rating. Hearing some of the magic he was working on, he was glad he left the room when he did. Whatever was going on he didn’t want to see it.

As Ravyn watched the crusaders try to bash their way in, a silvery and liquid like metal began covering him. It originated from various spots, namely wings, feet, arms, and head. In a very short time the liquid appearing metal solidified. It had a faint blue tint and covered the dragon from head to toe. The once soft feathers on his head, wings, and tail were now razor sharp and could cut through pretty much anything and even some enchanted metals. Even his claws looked sharper than before.

“Persistent aren’t they?” His voice had a synthetic quality to it as though the armor was speaking for him. He kept his wings close to his body and his tail still. It wouldn’t be good to accidentally harm his allies. “After we’re safe, I’d love to hear how this all started.” As he finished the door was busted in and fell to the ground. He watched Sam vanish and reappear next to the door frame and slit the throat of the first one through the door then shoot the next. Sam was not someone to be an enemy of. Neither was Alexia. The current batch didn’t last long against his speed and weapons.

"Just remember, if this train stops in the middle of the chasm, we're either fucked or as closed to fucked as you can get. So for all our sake, don't go crazy. We have four people here who can tear apart this train on their own... now we just gotta hope the crusaders have the same mindset." Ravyn heard Sam say to the three of them. He did have a point, if the train broke down the fight would last way longer. “I’ll keep that in mind.” The dragon replied.

In the lull of the battle, he listened to Alexia’s words. One being not to mention the goddess stuff. On that note he decided to ask Sam about it when out of ear shot of the dangerous feline. But the good thing is he wouldn’t be turned away. Alexia’s plan was rudely interrupted by yet another group of crusaders, This time with a female dwarf in the lead. The dwarf put up an impressive, if futile, fight. Even wielding an enchanted hammer, so like a dwarf. It was a pity though it damaged the feline’s clothes. It only served to enrage her more. It didn’t help that they recognized her as their goddess.

The dwarf didn’t last long as the electrified spear was plunged into the dwarf’s head. The female twitched as she was electrocuted. He almost laughed then the rest kneeled before “their goddess” to beg for forgiveness. Four spears thrown by their goddess ended their begging.

“So Sam... finished my Dead Coat... Think I'll finally stopped getting hit on at the fucking bars by bullshit idiots who think that little catgirl is too fucking cute to not try to get into bed now?” Alexia’s words made him wince at the thought of anyone foolish enough to try to get her into bed. He had a feeling that if they did live, they were probably left without one of their favorite body parts.

A pity, it seemed like he wasn’t going to get any attacks in. Oh well. Being around the pair it would only be a matter of time.

Ravyn listened to her plan. It was pretty simple. Jump off, go to a chasm that goes to a non crusader world, split up or stay and help make the crusaders rue the day they worshipped her as their goddess. “I’ll join you. I have a feeling it will be quite a learning experience.” As he spoke, his ear caught the sound of crusaders on top of the train. He took his staff and touched the blue gem at the base to the roof of the car. At first nothing happened then ice and frost quickly spread across it, covering the inside and outside in solid slippery ice. The ice covered the door leading to the rest of the train. The one at the back was still usable. “I think I can be of assistance.” By now the blood mage finished his spells and joined the trio. “Let me know if you need a ride. I only warn you, no using your blood magic on me or I hope you can fly as well. If either of you need me to carry you two I can. None of you look…that…” He paused at the bone white spiral symbol. “What is that? I don’t think I’ve seen that before.”

“Hello Sam. I’m Ravyn Arcadia Valos. It’s nice to meet you.” The armor on his hand liquified and vanished as he offered his hand for him to shake. “And you are Alexia. It is very interesting to meet you both.” After he introduced himself he listened to Sam chat with the feline. What trilogy was he referring to he wondered. A question for later. What crusaders didn’t fall off from him coating the roof with a sheet of ice, Sam expertly picked off with his arrows. He couldn’t help but laugh at the comment about billing the crusaders for the arrows. The look on their faces if he actually did that would be a sight to see. “So what are your homeworlds out of curiosity?” Ravyn asked while they waited for the best time to jump.
