"Dammit!!!... Kasei!" The mage yelled after hearing cracking of the bone.
"You can't beat that guy with only one arm!!"

"It's...unfair...I can't stand unfairness!!"
"Corruptness!!!"
"Evil!!!"

For a brief moment Azador's glowed crimson red as if he were to burst out in rage.
But the wizard remembered his mast's words: "Do not let the darkness become part of you...instead use this power for your own goals."

erghh...He quickly closed his eyes. "Darkness you who have always part of me, do not destroy out of hatred but for protection of others." The mage muttered the red radiance disappeared as he opened his eyes. A wicked grin appeared on his face and he stretched his rod up into the air. " Come forth incantation of the shadows "
Jormungand!

A small pentagram appeared before Azador on the city street. A sudden form of energy appeared out of this magic circle, it was a large black tentacle reaching to the heights of roofs. The massive form of energy lunged a direct slam at the 'legendary Hero' right before Kasei could hit the same target.

OOC: I hope you don't mind this Kasei, as I'm only trying to let this fight continue.

With the grace of a fox, Lyos leaped to the periphery of the battle, sheathing both his dagger and Kostafrith and whipping around his theorbo in one flowing motion. While still in air, he whispered something only discernible to those in the immediate vicinity.
Sonata of Restoration.
Without a pause, the twang and resonate hum of the stringed instrument immediately filled the chilled air. With each ascending passage, a faint aura seemed to increasingly shine from the very depths of Lyos' soul, finally manifesting itself in what appeared to be ribbon of verdant light. As the final note rang out through the surrounding courtyard, the aura burst forth as if to catch the escaping sound, surrounding each of Lyos' allies in its pursuit, mending their wounded bodies and spirits.

The battle now was deffinately picking up. Nogare had barely dodged away from Kasei when a new assault came flying at him, Azador's self- invented Jormungand spell, the energy surged towards Nogare, and an explosion rocked thr courtyard. When the smoke cleared, it was obvious that Nogare dodged, there was no body.

A shadow appeared behind Azador, Nogare again, who swung once more at the mages head, and the full force did the unthinkable:

Azador's head was smashed it.

Kasei stared, a howl escaped his lips as he charged at the legend, his groken arm trailing behind him. He swung, and Nogare doged, but a surge of fire escaped from Kasei's right hand and blasted the Son of Grayblade right in the chest, sending him flying.

It was at that moment that Lyos acted, and as he flew, it was obvious what his tactic was-a cure.

The sonata of restoration flowed through the adventurers, healing everyone. Kasei's arm was mended. Shocked, the Rebel Flame turned to Azador, who was lying on the ground, but obviously alive, and cracked-skull free.

Kasei smiled, and returned his gaze to Nogare. "You are obviously not going to stop on your own violation, so we will stop you by force." He declared, letting more flames escape his hands, a giant inferno now flew at Nogare. There was no escape.

Or was there? Nogare grinned, and aimed his staff right at the oncoming wave. He swung, and instantly the flames were dispelled.

Of course, that didn't mean that Kasei was done, he himself charged in just as the flames died down, a new weapon in hand; his scythe.

He swung.

Nogare jumped.

A blast escaped The blade, and a whole block was decimated. Kasei lifted his head to look at Nogare, and aimed for a second swing......

With a grandiose modulation away from the tonic, Lyos' song took a drastic turn. The tempo became faster, the passages became more violent, and with each passing note the song began to blossom into a full fledged double fugue. To match the music's change in color, the aura emanating from Lyos transformed from a lush green to a vibrant azure, swirling around his body in a violent cyclone and picking up all manner of dust and debris from the fighters' previous attack. As if borne out of the very energy of the song itself he shouted,

Kyrie eleison, Christie eleison, KYRIE ELEISON!

Suddenly, bolts of pure energy arced from the center of the vortex, striking out to the flying shrapnel, igniting them as they continued their revolving paths. Lyos' theorbo struck a dissonant chord and the debris became a cloud of flaming projectiles vaulting through the air towards Nogare.

Saber couldn't tell what was going on anymore.

Everything was a blur, the action was so intense, so swift...He couldn't keep up with the duo at the heart of the battle, endlessly trading blows. He hit the ground when the explosion went off, clutching his chest and gasping. He inhaled dust from the ground he had landed on and began to cough roughly. He grabbed the neck of his shirt, pulling it up over his mouth to try and filter the air as he fought to stand up after the blow. Finally rising to shaking feet, he saw Burlo lying limp on the ground--It was likely that he had been there ever since he crashed down from the sky like an inebriated comet. The mercenary hobbled over to the cleric as Lyos unleashed a devastating spell, and rolled him over. He's breathing. Good.

Standing again with his knees wobbling, Saber raised his blade. He had no energy left to cast another spell--He might have been able to squeeze out another Fire attack if he hadn't been jostled around so much afterwards, but now there was nothing to do but head into the heart of the fight. He had been physically healed by Lyos, that much was true. However, mentally, he was losing his focus. The intensity in the air, the pure vibe was doing more damage than the physical aspect of the clash itself. He said a quick prayer over Burlo's slumbering body--In the name of Nayru, of course, he didn't want to offend the cleric--and stepped slowly towards Nogare. He winced as a piece of shrapnel revolving around Lyos nicked his shoulder, licking his finger and tracing the scar it left behind gingerly. Then he felt something spreading through him--The physical wound gave him an emotion to play off of other than exhaustion.

He tried to feel the pain as much as possible, to let it ignite his spirit with a cause, a purpose to continue the uneven fight. His legs lightened slightly. He increased his speed, eventually barreling towards his enemy at a fairly faster than slow speed, his saber held limply at his side until the last second. Hopefully, Nogare would be too distracted by the rebel flame and Lyos' magical assault to bother much with the humble mercenary as he raised the blade in an arc and dropped it straight downwards towards the Exile in one smooth motion, falling forward and landing on his chest from the effor the had put into the strike, his lungs burning from the dust that had infiltrated them.

With the last dissonant sound of wood on metal still echoing throughout, the song ceased. Silence. His head reeling from the massive energy just released, Lyos looked to where his attack should have gone, but the only thing his bleary eyes could see was the brilliant sunlight filtering through the dust. Both Kasei and the Exile were gone.

His legs gave way as the cold fire that had just moments ago illuminated his face steadily faded from his eyes. Lyos’ knees struck the ground full force, kicking up a silent puff of dirt. As his vision began to fade he had the vague impression of someone rushing towards a foe that was no longer there.

It's too late, our quarry has fled. I can only hope Kasei can take care of this. he thought blearily.

Just when the last vestiges of consciousness began to escape his wearied body, he caught sight of a burn and slash on the attackers shoulder.

I'm sorry my friend, your pain was my doing.

Fëlzane daz Dégine... he whispered as he collapsed to the ground. Along with his awareness seeped away a white wisp of energy what surrounded the wounded soldier's arm, and with that he surrendered to oblivion. Darkness.

The smoke cleared, and it was revealed that not a single building was dammaged in any way. Kasei had put up a shield spell at the last second, containing the blast he himself unleashed, so that he would not have to pay the construction fee.

He pulled his scythe back behind his head, and swung again in Nogare's general direction. A single blade of fire shot upwards at the warrior. At the same time, Lyos' bolt of power flew upwards. Nogare was ready for this event, unfortunately, and raised his belegcam staff, witch deflected both attacks. He descended to the ground....

OOC: YEAH! I plan on replying to many haitus topics today........OFF TO THE DESERT!!! *Flies away, superman-style*....
