[@Lady Athena] [@RabidAnubis] [@Rune_Alchemist] [@cloudystar] [@Legion02] Samuel laid on the ground for what seemed like an eternity. [i]Oh lord, please kill me now...[/i] Samuel slowly regains feeling in his limbs and, as he does so, feels Gabriel begin to vibrate on his arm. A young man wearing some combination of cloth and leather and a sympathetic face was walking towards his location, with some strange cat-like creature following behind him. [i]I really am the only adult here, aren't I...[/i] The young man looked at Samuel as he crawled towards the recorder dummy and, with a pained expression, said: [color=00aeef] "Hey, you OK? It's not my place to ask this really but are you sure you want to go up into the tower-" [/color] He stops briefly. [i]Don't you say it. Don't you dare say it-[/i] [color=00aeef]"With [i]that[/i] kind of physique?[/color] Samuel looks down, dejected, before looking up to the young man. [color=fff200]"I know that I may seem weaker than most of the people here... In fact, I am almost positive that I am. However, I am more than willing to show you what I am capable of."[/color] Raising his hand to the sky, Samuel collects the energy he has left and shouts. [color=fff200]"DEUS VULT!"[/color] A flash of light appeared and the metal buckler that was attached to Samuel's forearm was no longer there. Instead, Samuel was standing with two large, feathery wings attached to his back and a small glowing halo hovering over his head. [i]I've been trying to do that... I looked so cool![/i] Samuel coughed and held out his hand. [color=fff200]"I pray to thee, oh merciful lord: grant me your blessing, so I may use your strength!"[/color] A surge of strength rushes through Samuel body, as a light red glow surrounds his entire body. Pushing himself forwards, he beat down on the recorder dummy with his bare hands. A short time later, the wood stock snapped and the cloth body had lost an arm. Samuel quickly turns to the last dummy, the catalyst dummy, and holds out a shaking arm. [color=fff200]"I pray to thee... Oh merciful lord... cure this innocent of... the poisons of sin..."[/color] A soft, white light surrounds the dummy briefly, before quickly dissipating. Samuel breathes very heavily as he raises his shaking arm one last time. [color=fff200]"I pray to thee... oh god in heaven... grant your disciple with... speed unparalleled..."[/color] As Samuel falls to the ground, a green light surrounds the dummy. [color=fff200]"Told... you. Do I look... so weak anymore?[/color] [i]... Oh god, I'm pathetic. I'm trying to show off to a kid. And I'm failing at that... At least I showed my capabilities as as a support. That alone should be worth a lot to the judges, even if I need the others for protection.[/i] Samuel gulps down air greedily, as he turns to see the man with some strange objects hovering over his back.
