'No...' He thought, biting his lip. 'I won't run away...' He brandished his blade again, bringing forth the goddess' justice manifest. He rose it up high in the air and brought it down again, for the third time he swung at the demon, and for the first time his steel found its mark. The blade flashed hot with light and fiery righteousness, cutting deep into the beast's flesh. He ducked low and pulled the sunmaiden's kiss from the creature's black flesh, its surface wholly unmarred and unstained. He looked over his shoulder, smiling at Thalya. Some part of him wanted to impress her again, her and Alyssa both.. and of course, rescue poor Al'Rhayel, "No need to play the heroine, my fair aunt!"<br/><br/>"We're all together in this." He said, narrowing his eyes upon the creature before him and grinning. In the heat of battle, Norton did not rarely utter words of chivalry and nobility as he often did in moments of peace. The thrill of battle fueled him, of doing justice in the name of the light, of slaying his enemies... He locked his gaze upon the shadowy wretch that laid before him, challenging it with his eyes.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">26 attack.
