The fight continued. The bard, having taken off down the crypt towards the guardians at the other end, was currently engaged. The mage, Birbin, having done the same. The foe Valmjr faced swung at him, the warrior's faithful battleaxe barely deflecting the first blow. The second swing went wide, making it easy for the large Ysgardian to dodge. As Valmjr dodged the second attack, another bolt whistled past his head. While normally such a minor distraction would hardly register to the experienced warrior, the wind created by the the bolt flying past him caught him off guard, for at that same moment Valmjr had lifted [i]Hela[/i] above his head to bring down upon the Guardian with all his strength. The bolt, however, caused him to hesitate just the slightest bit, and the ax came crashing down, missing the guardian, clanging off the crypt's stone floor.
