Varres could only grimace in distaste as Haruna dove, flipped and dodged her way around the ponderous golems like they were still inert statues, her perfectly timed jumps allowing her to remain untouched while one golem all but destroyed the other in its clumsy efforts to strike the nimble orcess.<i>She is too good for one who is one-tenth my age</i>he remarked while collapsing back onto his legs to avoid a great sweeping blow, the air displaced from the mighty strike stealing breath from his lungs. Coughing lightly he rolled off to the side while another fist slammed into the floor where he was an instant earlier, spidery cracks radiating out from the center of the impact.<br/><br/>Rising to his feet Varres pivoted on his heel to side-step another scything blow and dashed past the two of them, the pair pivoting slowly, tracking his progress. Drawing two of his throwing daggers and setting the handles between his index and middle fingers the blood elf swiftly changed direction, summoning some of the inner strength his centuries of life had granted him.<br/><br/>Apparently heedless of the titanic metal fist rushing down to intercept him, golden eyes trailing after-images of light the sin’dorei was seemingly stuck by the fist…only to disappear in a writhing cloud of blackness. A heart beat later he reappeared several meters above the golem, rapier leading the way and momentum unchanged, the construct reeling back just in time to receive the thin blade through the right eye, buried up to the hilt.<br/><br/>Staggering back as its animating energies gushed out in plumes of azure fire the golem began to topple, Varres landing atop its broad shoulders and, drawing his left arm back, whipped the pair of daggers at the remaining golem. Rolling through the air the twin blades smashed through the crystal lenses protecting the inner workings of the construct, burying in, but not deep enough to disrupt the golem, only send it reeling, blinded and swinging wildly. Choosing the most opportune time to leap that utilized the most of the toppling golem’s momentum Varres jumped again, legs peddling through the air as he arced forward.<br/><br/>With a roar he suddenly kicked out with both legs, his heels striking the pommels of his daggers and driving them deep within the guardian’s head, pushing off the now deactivated golem’s face to launch into a graceful back flip, landing in a kneeling crouch just as the felled foe crashed into the wall, shattering marble amongst the clatter and dust of crushed stone. He glanced over to where the orcess stood after tumbling free of her last opponent and quirked a smile.<br/>“ I got us into what is likely the last chamber between us and the artifact is what I did. “<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
