[quote=TheSecret] C.C, still with her arms crossed uner her breasts in an attempt tomake them look bigger rised an eyebrow to the boy who obviously did not know how to hold the spear correctly. She was amused by how the boy begged for help"Boy..." She said as she pulled her sword from the sheath on her back "...those who wield a weapon must be ready to die..." She said and walked towards the boy [/quote] And [quote=The15thSpycrab] A sound like thundering hooves and clashing steel, mixing as a rumble of thunder, yet lasting a mere moment, and the God of War appeared beside the young lad."I have seen your bravery, and heard your plea. Take heart, my blessing, and this shield. Fight your foe for honor and the defense of those weaker than yourself. Uphold the codes of combat, and show mercy to those you defeat."The boy, wide-eyed and full of hope, took the shield from Arcturius. Then, standing as tall as he could, faced the savage woman and let out a shout! The villagers crowded around cheered, and the battle began. [/quote] He could do this. A god came down for him, and gave him a shield. He was ready. The boy chose not to hesitate. He knew that whatever he did, he had to act fast and without pause. The strange woman threaten him, so he had the advantage of self defense. Also, the reach of the spear would help in this fight. Lastly, she still had her arms crossed. A firm whack to here knee, than a jab to her dominant arm. That would make her think twice. Flin was amazed by these realizations. Maby he was better at fighting than he thought. Flin brought the spear into motion, with all the strength that he had. Only then he noticed the weight of the 6 foot long weapon. He just wasn’t strong enough. Doubt and fear overtook him again, as the spear went for the woman’s knee with too little strength to hurt her. What Flin din’t notice was that the shield started to produce a low humming sound, like a tuning fork it started to sing.
