Snippet #1704377

Since when did we start handing out low blows?! Was the only thing Nathaniel could oddly think about in this tense moment as he hefted himself off the ground as quickly as possible. That damn thing had hit him between the legs then promptly smacked him on top of the head. The first hit was painful and surprising, the second was disorienting and his head was still swimming slightly.

Whirling around, he faced his opponent once more but stopped short as another strange creature appeared. It dispatched of Chris' opponent before it could do him further harm and then killed Nathaniel's own enemy. He could only hope this female was actually an ally and would stay so. They couldn't afford for another powerful being to turn on them again but he wouldn't look over the blessing of this though.

Taking the time to regather himself, he rubbed at his head and hoped permanent damage wasn't done elsewhere. He had almost forgotten that Chris was injured with how valiantly he had been fighting but when he turned to face them and began to fall backwards it brought back the knowledge quickly. In one motion Nathan was at Chris' side and put an arm around his back to support him before actually answering. "I'm fine but you're not. You can't keep going like this."
