Dinan


The uge to defend another,that instinct common to those whose blood ran hot with a guardian's duty. It was the reason the Kamael faced the burdens thrust upon them by a Goddess of War. And it was why Dinan had left his clan and fought side by side with those who dwelt below the lofty home of his race. It was the cornerstone of his faith, the founding principal of the Dogma of Battle. Even as it enforced the Guardian's duty it also demanded the death of those who harmed one's charges and comrades.

Perhaps such a bloodthirsty code was why some ill trusted the one winged angels. But for Dinan the sight of Shyc in his current state was enough to justify every aspect of Mystria's law. And so he caught the swing of his latest opponent's halberd and wrenched it aside with a forceful two handed beating motion with naught but a smile. Inwardly though the Kamael cursed that the skyline was cluttered by the verdant growth of trees and other plant life, most of which was quite deadly in their own right. Ducking the return swing of his opponent's halberd with a splayed leg stance that left him in an awkward position that the enemy was quick to take advantage of. Swinging back and up the halberd user brought the pole arm down in a chopping swing. Blocking the blow by throwing Soulbreaker above his head with the length of his left arm supporting the back of the blade. The force of the blow was jarring to say the least and had it not been for his armour Dinan would have likely had his own sword driven through his arm. But bigger problems occupied the angel.

The force behind the attack had driven Soulbreaker's ethereally sharp edge halfway into the halberd's axe like broad head. Binded thus together the winged warrior knew he hadn't nearly the time to free his weapon before the foes plunged their swords into his body.

Deciding that crashing into a tangle of branches was a better fate then certain death Dinan shot straight up. His wing beating a furious tempo to increase the thrust of the climb. The forces involved proved too much for the halberd user and his weapon was sent flying. A corkscrew later the Kamael just avoided becoming entangled with the trees and overgrowth. Diving down sharply the angel landed directly behind the now weaponless halberd user.

A more chivalrous soldier might have shown mercy but not Dinan. To the winged warrior enemies deserved one fate, that of a quick death. The Dogma of Battle allowed for no mercy and Mystria cared not for those who bore weapons and were not willing to face death with courage. Thrusting Soulbreaker clean through the foe's heart Dinan sidestepped his other armed opponents and instead let the rapidly dying unarmed enemy take the two strikes of his comrades. Thrice struck blood blossomed in a fine crimson mist that covered Dinan in sanguine horror.

The words of Raze's bold declaration of confidence in their odds got only the briefest of nods from the angel as the enemy fell back a little from the blood soaked Kamel and the half breed elf's sword play. Now with the vast majority of their comrades dead and with nary a dead mercenary to show for their efforts they stood less eager to engage.

The Dogma of Battle did not allow the suffering of an enemy's retreat. And so indicating with a jerk of his head that the hybrid at his side was to take the right half of the rivial mercenaries Dinan swung Soulbreaker into a high stance above his head before charging away from Raze's side. Hitting the left flank of the enemy the angel blocked a wild thrust by pivoting the handle of his weapon and thus bringing the flat of his sword slicing in front of his chest. The point of the foiled thrust ringing off the soul forged blade Dinan shoulder charged his foe, thus knocking the over eager opponent into his few remaining comrades.

Ripping out the soul of his last kill out of Soulbreaker Dinan lined the edge of his sword with the essence of what was once the immortal remnant of life. All the anger and hate of a dead soldier caused the blade to shine with a bright red light. Details lost to the winged warrior however as he used the power of such anger and hate to cut clean through two of his enemies at once.

Twisting and spinning to avoid another attack Dinan was in time to see a body fall atop Shyc. Fearing the worst the angel beat aside the rival mercenary's sword and with his riposte beheaded the fool standing between him and his comrade. Rushing to the thief's side the Kamael was in time to hear Shyc's complaint.

Lending an arm Dinan hauled Shyc's assailant's corpse off him and looked down at the heavily injured though very much alive thief.

"I don't know whether to slap you or kiss you foolish child. "
