Snippet #2046847

Azriel stood silently, people still milling about talking and gossiping about the fire when the sound of screams and falling rubble caught his attention. From the distance it looked like large chunks of a building were falling down, but whats more was that an over-grown monkey he spotted? Swinging some kind of object in its huge clumsy hand? Then there was some small man next to a large... demonic apparition charging at the over-grown monkey... Well, this little city was just full of surprises. He could already hear the city guard being called to action, and soon enough some would arrive, and if this fight continued an entire battalion would show up. You didn't blow up buildings in the middle of the city and expect nothing to happen.

A womans sobs and screams caught his attention, so he slowly approached the fight scene, although he had no intention of joining it himself. A young woman had been.. pinned under a large piece of rubble, it was crushing her stomach into the ground... a rather slow and painful way to die, but she would die. With surprising strength, she reached out and grabbed Azriel's leg squeezing, "Please help me.." She cried, and Azriel stared back at the dying woman, "Very well." He said drawing his blade and stabbing the woman through her chest, piercing her heart and killing her. He might have been able to save her if he was able to move the ruble then give the last of his energy to heal her, but he did not wish to waste his energy, but he still shown mercy. He had give her the mercy of a swift death. Now that the woman was gone, he rubbed the blade against the woman's shirt, smearing off the blood before sheathing the blade once more. At least now, he could resume watching the fight between the demon boy and the over-grown monkey.
