"Stand still, foul demon!" While I was still trying to comprehend who'd want to kill me like this, the knight started yelling at me before focusing his efforts on his sword, pulling it out the bench and letting splinters of wood fly everywhere. Before he could take another swipe at me, some foolish figure had landed a high kick on the knight's head, before writhing briefly on the ground. A clatter of armour followed, with the knight regaining his senses and deciding to confront my vigilante instead. "You son of a bitch!" Sure enough, his oddly loud priest voice was now replaced by pure hatred and anger, lashing at someone else instead. [i]Jesus, how does the KOB even function like this?![/i]

I stopped thinking about deities quickly since there was someone clearly trying to survive, blasting the gryphon with a fountain of fire and forcing him backwards. He screamed and started to pat out a bunch of flames on his arms, but I didn't give in to his cries. He tried to kill me thinking I was some 'demon', and the least I could do was ensure he could hurt another innocent life. I shook myself and dropped my bag right off my shoulder, running towards the gryphon as he began to fan the flames out with small gusts of wind. I felt myself burning in the air since my cloud didn't catch up to me, but now wasn't the time to start crying over it. The other guy had trouble trying to defend himself, experiencing a swipe I should've gotten.

In my rush, I cast a sword of air - something that was oddly dark compared to other air swords of Zephyre. I stretched out my arm to receive the hilt as it formed under the shadows of my cloud, before charging with the sword pointing directly at the knight. When he realised I was about to attack, he tried to push me back using his sword, waving it crazily like a frustrated magician. I didn't give in, ducking under one failed swipe and driving it in to the knight's horror. It went cleanly through his chest, mainly because his armour was now suddenly malleable from all the heat. We were both paralysed for seconds until the knight started coughing blood, with me jumping back as my sword broke within and... and... his body slamming the blood-drenched floor of the park.

"I... I think I killed him." Well. That was a little extreme. "I... goodness..." I never imagined I'd kill someone. I ended up falling to the ground on my buttocks, nearly losing form but trying to maintain composure. "Jesus." I whispered, my hand over my mouth as I tried to comprehend what I had just done.
