[h1][center][color=Dodgerblue]Lazulin Mulciber[/color][/center][/h1][hr][center][i]• The Eoldysseus, Ifrise Forest, Sovereignty of Dryadalis •[/i][/center][hr] Lazulin cursed as he felt the magical energy he had gathered flow out of him uselessly, his magic being dampened by something he couldn't see. And not only that, but it would seem that the group would suddenly find themselves greeted with some unwelcome company in the form of a literal horde of feathered little devils divebombing anything that moved on deck. Like the others, Laz would duck out of the way to avoid the first wave of attacks, reaching into his coat to bring out a long, slender dagger, as his gun would prove rather useless without any ether to power the firing mechanisms. Still, he made certain that every foul fowl that made it's way towards him would not bother him afterwards as he made his way over to the Inquistor girl, who was helping the last few civilians down into the barge's depths. [color=Dodgerblue]"Excuse me, Miss, but you wouldn't happen to have any idea how to get this tub moving again, would you? I doubt I'll be able to hold these guys back much longer with my knife."[/color] He spoke in partial jest, but his dark blue eyes were like stone beneath the shadow of his hood, a mask having been pulled over the lower half of his face to hide the appearance of his burns scars sometime during the scuffle. The flock of killer birds seemed unending, and without magic, it would be decidedly difficult to hold out very much longer. LAz himself already sported a few painful scratches from the birds that had managed to slip by his blade, nothing too deep but definitely showing that his dagger was not meant to keep angered birds at bay. [color=Dodgerblue]"Ah. . . the name is Lazulin, by the way, Lazulin Mulciber. Figured a greeting is in order if we incase we end up dying to birds, of all things. Also, you might want to tell your hero friend over there that he should start moving those people over here instead of trying to protect them out in the open."[/color]
