Athinar's eyes widened, and the Vampyr's black sword sliced through his arm, shearing flesh and bone. The blood that fell was glowing an obsidian color, and dripped slowly in a black ooze, instead of gushing out in a red spray. The pain was wonderful, and one who might have seen the incident might have viewed Athinar as a sadomasochist. However, he would not let it end here. As the blade first bit into his arm, Athinar caused the Blade of the Void to disappear. As it finished slicing through his arm, it reappeared, right alongside his body, directly in the path of the black sword. 

Wasting no time, nor energy on speaking, Athinar immediately flung himself forward, as the blade appeared, grabbing at the Vampyr's throat, hands outstretched like a claw. While this was happening, his eyes began to glow red, and an ebon aura surrounded him. However, this had no impact whatsoever, (aside from adding some lovely mood lighting.)
