[color=0072bc][h3]Ardur The Pixie[/h3][/color]  [color=92278f] Sometimes your best isn't enough > A death in the family /// Adventuring day 4 // Morning > Afternoon / Location - Cave [/color]

All the pixie could do was watch the two slimes continue their assault while he went for more mana. The crystals were abundant now and it was something he would attempt to make the most of while he could. Consuming two of the four immediately to refill his reserves he looked back to the fight at hand only to see Jason speed off. Ardur did flinch for a moment at the sudden static but then began to fly back towards the duo. “[i]Was the bastard trying to run again?”[/i] he thought to himself, [i]“No, he’s trying to cast another spell.” [/i] 

Or at least he thought, the runes and sigils forming over the slime was certainly something to admire and at the very least try and acquire or figure out while they were there. However, unlike the first time he saw them. These runes seemed fuzzy and flickered, the sigil didn’t seem to be working as well as he had intended and within a moment they fizzled out just as the slime ruptured and tore itself apart with a sharp stone.

The green insides and acids of the former Reborn where strewn across the rock face and soaked into the dirt. Ardur paused and watched, expecting some monster to be summoned in his place. Yet nothing happened. Danny seemed interested in getting to the corpse or mound of goo but the lizards still posed a threat. That and Ardur did want one of them for his own experiments. 

Seeing the opportunity to strike as one of the lizards was distracted by firing a glob at Asura. The buff pixie flew down towards the Lizard, but just before he reached it and he was sure he wouldn’t miss the creature’s spine. Ardur put his feet out in front of him together and with his heels first landed on the lizard. He just hoped he did as much damage as he would have liked too.

Feeling like the monster was dead or at the very least demobilized. Ardur continued towards Asura and Danny who seemed to be fighting over something the pulled out of Jason’s body. The pixie landed lightly next to the other two looking to what was left of the green slime and sighed. Bringing his hands together his right hand in a fist with his other clasping over his fist he bowed his head and spoke a simple and quiet prayer. 

[color=92278f]“O merciful Sky Father, bringer of light in our darkest days, bringer of warmth in our coldest nights. I pray that you may guide this one on his journey. To watch over him and grant him the peace he deserves, the peace he was unable to find in life. He was a worthy adversary and a good fighter, he fought for what he believed in even to his dying breath. Watch over him Lord of fire and might, this one deserved that much.”[/color] A brief pause while the pixie found the words for what he had to say next.

[color=92278f]
“Ancient vows, to order kneel
A warden's call to blood and steel
Legion lines to shield the frail
Behind the plate and mail

Cast from our place
Now further from grace
We fall.”[/color]

Some lyrics from one of the many songs he still remembered. He didn’t sing them this time; this time they were there to finish his prayer. Turning to the other two Ardur looked them over. [color=92278f]“Danny, Jason is gone. I’m not sure if your safe here by yourself now. Just give the crystal to Asura and maybe come along with us? Safety in numbers.”[/color] Ardur didn’t want Jason to die, hell he didn’t want anyone to die. Not again anyways. He hoped that maybe, just maybe in this world things would be different, maybe death here wasn’t the end. As far as he could tell so far, it wasn’t different. he hardly noticed through his prayer that the wisp was trying to cast a spell.
