[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The Pixie[/h3][/color] [color=92278f] Out of the frying pan > Into the fire /// Adventuring day 4 // Morning / Location - Cave [/color] It didn’t take him long to find the two slimes. It would seem that Jason chose the old hatching grounds for this fight. I guess he thought he might have the upper hand at that point. Even the buff pixie knew it was dangerous to let your opponent choose the battle ground. The large dire rat from earlier approached him as he reached the edge of the fight. Ardur hadn’t seen Danny approach until Asteria pointed him out. The large rat spoke for a moment about resolving things peacefully between the two slimes who seemed to be witling each other down to nothing. [color=92278f]“Yeah I did what I could but it seems like it won’t matter much if these two just tear each other apart. I’m up for trying the peaceful way if you back me up.”[/color] The dire rat seemed set on going off first to try to distract maybe. Ardur had other plans for what he was to do in this fight. The buff pixie looked to mother slime for a moment. Reading the body language of a ball of slime was difficult, but he knew what she was thinking. More than likely remembering what happened actually. Ardur reached out and touched her membrane to break her concentration for a moment. [color=92278f]“Wait here.”[/color] It was simple and all he could think to say. Then with a smile, the pixie took off into the air toward the two slimes. Once he was above them only a few feet away and definitely within striking distance of both slimes. Ardur did something that he’s only done a few times before. Put himself in harm’s way. [color=92278f]“I am a spirit of fire; my flames cannot hurt me”[/color] he wasn’t entirely sure if this would have the effect he wanted, but he knew at the very least it was going to drain the rest of his mana. With that, he Yelled, [color=92278f]“Immolation!”[/color] then the pixie dropped in between the two slimes. He purposefully did this to while one of Asura’s strikes were headed toward Jason. Ardur just hopped the combination of the [u]fireball I[/u] spell and [u]shield I[/u] would cover his body. Mostly for intimidation but if it worked out otherwise he would still continue with what he was doing. [color=92278f]“Listen human’s your acting like fucking children. I don’t care who started it or who hit who first, you will both lose in this war of attrition.”[/color] His gaze shifted between the two while he tried to keep himself between the slimes. [color=92278f]“Asura, Mother slime will never be safe if you keep dragging her into conflicts like this, and what does it matter when this green fuck is stuck in the cave he is bonded too. We can leave, we can explore, we can learn so much more out there.”[/color] These flames were beginning to get a little hot, but he pushed through his discomfort. [color=92278f]“Jason what ever happened to being one of the demon king’s generals that you kept spouting off about huh? I bet you won’t be able to do that when this place has corrupted you to the point of you becoming one of these mindless monsters you keep so close to you. You got so caught up in the moment you went for the first piece of bait you found that put you in control of anything. You got an old beat up fucking Honda accord, when if you would just have been a little more patient and had a bit of self-control you could have gotten a Ferrari.”[/color] He could feel that pit growing in his stomach again, the one that feels like low blood sugar. He was running out of mana again. [color=92278f]“I’m done with both of you acting like you were never human, like you were never alive in the first place. You know who I was? My name was Travis Smith I was a paramedic. I left behind the love of my life to save someone I didn't know.”[/color] Pointing to the three dark spots on his chest. [color=92278f]“I will do whatever it fucking takes to see her again, even if it means getting in between two fucking children!”[/color] Ardur was obviously being emotional at this point, similar to what he sounded like while he was raging earlier. [color=92278f]“So why the hell are either of you even here? What is driving you to be better? I can guarantee you it’s not this”[/color] with that his mana finally emptied and the flames disappeared. [color=92278f]“Now my mana is gone and I can’t heal either of you. So if you two still want to tear each other’s throats out, fine. But I’m done. Have a good fucking life because second chances don’t come easy.”[/color] [@Zeroth] [@Kazemitsu] [@Guy0fV4lor] [@SilverPaw] [hider=Ardur's character stats] [b]Level:[/b] 4 [b]Health:[/b] 90% [b]Mana:[/b] 0% [b]Stamina:[/b] 80% [b]Inventory:[/b] [b]Clothes:[/b] Spider silk belt and leaf loin cloth, mud coating.
