Again, the dragon-blooded warrior stepped between them, twisting to the side at the last moment. Their attacks passed harmlessly around his body, hitting each other before reaching the dragon-blooded's flesh. Kaiser managed to parry the first khopesh strike. The second khopesh in Bast's hand bounced harmlessly off the artifact armor, while his own attack, aimed to cut off the enemy, hit his Lunar mate instead, toppling her with a great blow. She laid in her own blood on the ground.<br/>Still, the Solar knew it was now or never, and he could take care of his Lunar mate a second later.<br/>The second attack missed, too. The third attack struck him, shearing the chain shirt.<br/>The last attack toppled the wielder of the red jade sword, which bounced harmlessly on the floor, much like Bast had fallen before that. The orichalcum blade was reflecting the light of the Zenith's anima...<br/>The flameduck looked dumb-founded.<br/>Everything was perfectly still.<br/><br/>That was until the arrows started falling out of nowhere. Three of them hit the armor of Kaiser.<br/>A single, slender Dragon-blooded with a long powerbow has just crawled out of the second level and was shooting at them without warning. His face had the typical features of House Cynis. His anima was flaring, blooming as a bright green glow, flexing and waving like leaves in the wind, bringing phantasms of thorn tangles and giant flowers, accompanied by the sound of a strong wind moaning through a great forest.<br/>The arrows cut through the First Age armor, toppling Kaiser in his tracks.<br/><br/>Cinamon Ember turned on her heels and shouted:<br/>"Foul killers, all of you! Do you dare to face me in single combat, Cynis?"<br/>The dragon-blooded smiled.<br/>"Girl, you will fall as your friends did. That is the fate of those who attack our House..."<br/><br/>OOC: Kaiser lost 9 HL.
