[Damian]

Damian perked up as if he knew something James didn't and simply moved. James barely had the time to keep up, Damian moved with such practiced grace. He switched one blade to the Hercules Blade and slashed through the door, both cutting it in two and shattering it with the force of the blow. Moving into the room, finding the two combatants wasn't hard, although the arrows zipping around the room were something that needed to be kept in mind. [color=FireBrick]"James, you know how to attack as a pair?"[/color] James nods quickly and they move in almost perfect tandem when the close with Grane after Maddox's attack. Damian switches back to the Hermes Blades, and unleashes a series of quick slashes and thrusts that force the lizardman back. James follows it up with a shield bash to his chest and a single slash to but him further back before Damian came over his back as he kneeled and slammed both feet into the lizardman's chest, making him stumble back. [color=FireBrick]"Take a breather, Maddox, this one's on us."[/color] Damian's feet slid into a combat stance at the same time his blades shimmered briefly with magic energy.

One would never know it just by looking at the swords, but for the first time in years, he'd allowed his sword blades to be sharpened to the point of taking a life. His time as a soldier was about to show it's face.

[James]

[color=Navy]"Divine Shield!"[/color] The soft yellow glow enveloped both Damian and James and the Paladin stepped up to stand next to Damian. He appraised the large reptile, noting that he'd taken a considerable amount of damage from his fight with Maddox already, but that he was still able to keep going spoke of both incredible willpower and endurance. Still, he hefted his shield and took aim. [color=Navy]"Divine Light!"[/color] The beam of light flew from the shield again, slamming into it's target. [color=Navy]"I told you once already, you have chosen to side with the Shadow, with evil. You are my enemy and I will not hold back."[/color]
