After Jax addressed the group they would be going forward with he said to her a bit cheekily, [color=red]"isn't this the part where we have a kiss in case one of us doesn't make it?"[/color] Obviously he was joking, but even so Jax looked sad for the briefest of moments before smiling once more and saying she wasn't going to die today. They charged in to battle and Morthos was glad he had Jax with him, the first few that came their way she cut down with ease, Morthos was more just a prop she was using to move more easily.

Then from seemingly nowhere a group of hellhounds was on them and Morthos and Jax got a bit separated. Not too far, but enough that he had to fend off a couple of hounds on his own. The physical training he had been doing with Jax would be great help right now. He focused his flames to his hands, turning them in to blades of fire. If he couldn't just blast these things as he normally would with an enemy then he'd have to slice them down.

He got the first one no problem, stabbing straight in to its heart. The second one however pounced and pinned him, he was slightly distracted by Jax saying she'd meet him further ahead and before he could say anything else she was off. The hound got a good swipe in on his chest. Morthos blasted it off with flames, knowing that wouldn't hurt it much but the force would buy him some space. He ran his hands over the claw marks, cauterizing the wound. What made him more angry though was that he happened to be wearing the shirt he got with Jax what felt like forever ago now. Morthos stood tall, ignoring the pain, and the hound charged. He was ready for it this time, he waited for the last moment and as it jumped he ducked and dashed forward, cutting it along its stomach before sending a powerful blast through its whole body, killing the beast.

Morthos made his way to the cave, powering through any pain he was feeling. He met up with Yam part way, she saw he was in rough shape and cast a minor healing spell on him. It wouldn't fix him up, but it would be enough to keep him going for now. He ran up to Jax who had cleared the area in front of the cave, had she been talking to someone? Morthos could have swore that she was. [color=red]"Good fighting out there,"[/color] Morthos said to Jax, oblivious to the fact that the remnants of his shirt had now fallen off so now he was totally shirtless.
