[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The Pixie[/h3][/color] [color=92278f] Curiosity! > Rage. /// Adventuring day 4 // Morning / Location - Cave entrance > Cave [/color] Ardur watched with wonder and excitement as his fire ball traveled through the air and exploded on a far off rock. [color=92278f]“So it does drop”[/color] he thought out loud, unaware of the goblins who were watching nearby. That fire ball also took a good chunk of his manna, not quite a quarter but almost. His chant seemed to strengthen the spell as well, he was unsure if invoking some kind of god made it stronger because of the god or because of the users view or interpretation of said god. One thing he did discover to be mostly true was the spell seemed to rely a lot on the wielder and what he tried to do with it. Only when he heard a strange sound did the buff pixie get drawn out of his thoughts and back to reality. He felt strange, his instincts were trying to tell him to take flight and run. He could feel his heart racing because of this invisible enemy he could only just now begin to hear. Squinting into the darkness of the cave he began to make out three goblin shaped figures. These figures seemed to move in a way he wasn’t used too. Ways that seemed unnatural. Then in a flicker of light he was able to make it out, bones and scraps of what used to be a living thing. There was three of them, and they were armed with some kind of weapons. Ardur was frozen, he couldn’t move. Undead where here in this world, in front of him and running toward him in a very unfriendly manner. These things weren’t here before someone had to have brought them into this world. What changed? The death of Rattleskull? The exodus of the other reborn and goblins from this cave? What happened that could shift the balance and bring these abominations into this world? It couldn’t be him, could it? That arrogant slime? But that’s what changed, that slime from the fight with Rattle gripped onto that crystal and spouted some nonsense about being its master. How could he do that? How could he bring the dead back to life? Ardur spent both of his lives trying to prevent death but welcomed it when it came for him, because it was natural. Who does he think he is, trying to play god. To the others that could see him Ardur remained quiet still almost like he was frozen with fear just from the mere sight of the skeletons. He began to shake, his arms at his side as he clenched his fists. An explosion echoed in the forest behind him and with that Ardur began to experience something he hadn’t experienced since he woke up in this world. Rage, pure unbridled rage. He couldn’t control himself. [color=92278f]“Two lives of trying to keep people alive, a lifetime spent helping others and you falter to something like this… this evil and unnatural thing?”[/color] he was practically yelling at the undead but who was he addressing? Himself or the one that brought these things to life? [color=92278f]“Come, let me show you the Sun's mercy, Let me cleanse you of your sins so you may rest eternally”[/color] without skipping a beat Ardur cast [u][b]Shield I[/b][/u] on himself and focused it into his hands. [color=92278f]“Fire cleanses and inferno purifies.” [/color]He began to chant again but this time like the shield spell, he tried to focus on keeping the fireballs just on the outside of the shield. It looked like he was attempting to cast with both of his hands. Letting the fireballs feed and burn at the shield spell. [color=92278f]“My soul is fire, my heart is of the sun, Burn and envelope the evil within these lost souls!”[/color] With that he leaped forward and flew towards the closest skeleton as fast as he could intent on punching the creature with his fist's of fire. Ardur wasn’t in a the right state of mind, his compulsion to destroy these skeletons wasn’t something he could stop himself from doing at least not yet. Trapped in this mindset, the buff pixie would uncontrollably use his mana to the point where he was willing to sacrifice his own life force. Who among those nearby could shake him from this anger of his? The war cry from the slime didn’t seem to faze him, if it did its not showing. Who would be willing to stand against this burning pixie with fire in his heart and rage in his eyes?
