[h1][color=red]Lusius Mathand[/color][/h1]

All around was a wicked and cruel battle that continued to rage and flow around Lusius. Some Hunters were struggling to save their own lives, while others still were slaughtering the gnomes in droves. As for Lusius he was holding his own and with three kills already under his belt he ran back out into the thick of the fray, holding his sword ready for a fight.

Meeting more foes pretty quickly he slashed down with his blade at a charging gnome, cutting firmly across the creature's torso to open it's insides to the open air. Then while the creature was caught up in it's own entrails he brought his blade back up and down to decapitate the monster.

Moving on for another he saw three more creatures coming after him. Raising his blade to fight he took a powerful and strong stance, bracing for the charging beasts. As the first reached him he struck like lightning at the monster's neck, making a clean blow through the creature's raised hand and into it's neck, cutting through and making the imp slump down to the ground with one blow. For the next two they came together and this time Lusius was ready to deal with multiple threats. Slashign through the air at one of the creatures he cut deeply into it's arm, pulling his blade back quickly to block teh other with sharp steel, making it's claws split open with a sharp edge. Pulling back once again he slashed hard at teh first creature, cutting deep into it's shoulder and by twisting his body he changed the blade's path inside the creature taking it's head and an arm off. For the next he brought his blade back to block another attack, curving the edge of harbinger around to shove the point into it's neck, pulling almost the entire blade through before twisting his arms and taking the monster's head.

Once again free and ready to continue the fight Lusius ran at another gnome that was singled out from the rest of them. running at teh creature he caught it off guard and with a swift and effective strike he dug his blade deep into the gnome's back, not cutting anything off but cuttin enough to make teh thing slump to the ground, yet it continued to move, clawing with his claws. Until Lusius took a swing at it's head, burying his blade into the creature's skull to make it go limp.

Still yet the fight was on and he looked around for more foes, blood-soaked blade at the ready should any more beasts come for him. However that is when he saw it. Something was casting magic very openly right at the very edge of Seren's Folly, though with Draco by it Lusius knew it must have been... Perhaps not helpful or friendly but at the very least not an immediate threat. Still he was worried about such a force by his home and he couldn't let it slip from his mind. He'd have to make sure. Once he had time.

Yet through all the bloodshed he felt something. Deep inside him he was feeling the fire of rage burning brighter and hotter. The Burning Man was drawing power from something and he was now actively fighting for control. Once he was looking for another target now he was hold his head, trying desperately to beat back the Burning Man's influence. In that moment of pain he looked around for what could be fueling him, seeing teh orb in the sky, throwing it's radiant light and while the others were fueled to fight harder, Lusius was left crippled by the burning rage festering inside him. Even his skin was starting to crackle and smoke as he was losing control.
