[i]Sheath hit, sword still went through. She has to be paying attention to phase.[/i] These thoughts were just droplets at the bottom of Alvios' mind at this point. Rebecca might be dead. Mary was definitely dead. Alvios was going make Shadra suffer their same fate, one way or another. Any form of forgiveness or mercy was no longer due. [i]Fine. New test. I'm the bait.[/i] "Do your worst!"

     Alvios flipped the grip on his sword and stabbed down in front of him. If Shadra kept going at his gut, he planned on putting a sword through her back. If she could still attack while phasing through his blade, well he gave it his best shot. If she dodged, then he could keep going with the idea that she couldn't attack while going through others.
