"Mother- WHY WONT YOU DIE!?"<br/><br/>Esone wasted no time, coiling his stone legs for a massive leap. As the newest Harbinger Avatar fluttered into view the Lieutenant sprang forward, his fist bursting alight with the scripture of the One-Handed Maiden. The pair crashed in mid-air, Hammer and Fury meeting Daiklave with the hideous shriek of abused metal. Harbinger’s swarm coursed about the two, a haze of flies that whirled about grappling figures.<br/><span style="color: #000000">This is… uncharacteristic. Where’s the fear?</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It’s not a </span>swarm<span style="font-style: italic"> of bugs. And it wont die. I WILL MAKE IT DIE.</span><br/><br/>Harbinger showed no trace of fear, no sign of exertion at fending off Donovan’s repeated blows. His strikes should have been able to fell Gods, but the Avatar merely shrugged them off like gnat bites. Esone on the other hand flinched with every strike that bit into his flesh, his focus on deflecting Harbinger’s blow leaving him highly vulnerable to the attacks of the mook troopers.<br/><br/>WE ARE LEGION. WE ARE DEATH. WE CANNOT DIE. YOU CANNOT KILL US, FOR YOU ARE FLESH.<br/>YOU. ARE. WEAK.<br/><br/>Harbinger punctuated each word with a soul-wreathed blow, the final word catching Esone full in the gut. Had it not been the flat of the blade, the Lieutenant would surely have been sheered in two. As it stood he merely crashed into the ground, agonizing cracks spreading through his stone flesh. Esone coughed, the changes wrought by Rage Recast receding with agonized thrashes.<br/><br/>“SIR! I made a bad choice, and could use some help here!”<br/><br/>Harbinger’s blade slammed down inches from Esone’s head, the Daiklave burying itself into the platform a hair’s breath from his left ear. The Avatar stood astride the reckless Lieutenant, heaving at it’s blade to perform a second strike.<br/><br/>WE NEVER GIVE UP. WE NEVER FORGET. WE NEVER DIE. THIS IS OUR LAND. IF YOU WISH TO STAY, YOU MAY STAY HERE FOREVER. WE SHALL BURY YOU HERE.<br/><br/>“Gleep!”
