āœ§ @acidbite said:
Ruins were dangerous places by nature. Whether the risk was monsters, bandits, or old traps, even the most bold adventurers had to take care. In this case, it was an architectural failure. Arkrias heard the wood floor under her bare feet give a deathly groan, and he had only a second to lunge. He grabbed her arm and yanked her back, tucking her to himself as he backed them both off of the rotten floor with wings folded around her.Ā  Not a second later, the floor gave wayā€“ as well as the ceiling above it, leaving holes above and below with dim sunlight filtering in. After the noise and dust settled, he lifted his wings away and looked down at her. "Are you all right?"

The fight took a sharp turn, as more raiders started to waver, seeing their comrades fall all around them. The villagers were getting the upper hand, with farming tools in hand, and the metal-clad dragonblood was leading the charge, his hammer breaking bones, his shield pushing them back.
The protection or the divine that he felt on him made him lighter, stronger, tougher. He felt like he could fight the world, and he didnt stop his advance. "Push them back!! A little more!!" He urged, he inspired. "Take heel and never come back!!", he shouted, he threatened!
The leader stepped forth, charging at him, a woman with more scars than years and two axes on hand. They classed, steel against steel, might versus might. In the circle that created among the battle, Ferenir dueled her to submission, forcing her to escape by using her lackies as shields.
They run. They all run. And the screams of triumph echoed loudly from the defenders, who had done the impossible. Ferenir breathed hard, exhausted. Despite the cheers, he could feel a voice in his head. Mourning. Crying. He turns around, and he sees her, and he recognizes her at once, the connection formed between them by her magic leaving no doubt in his mind.
Pushing past everyone, with slow steps, he kneels in front of her, between her and the body she is looking at, hiding the view. Dark hair fall in front of his golden eyes, dirt and dried blood on his face and armor. Yet he offers her a hand, and a warm, soft smile.
"Thank you for your help...we have won. Everyone is safe now."

" worried? " they mull over the word and how they feel- the tightness that pervades their chest. ribs that creak with every thunderous heartbeat, " -you could say that, yes. " but what plagues ulysses is stronger, it is FEAR, it is the unknown and it is a horror that haunts their every moment. they see her awake and there is an imperceptible flex of their fingers as they shoo away the vestiges of their dreams. they may be why they are here, but they are not what's important.
" i need to ask- have you ever- " they pause, nose scrunching. there is unspoken ANXIETY written in their posture, in the halting why that they speak, " -questioned my intentions, maybe? it is alright if you have, i simply need to know to decide how to proceed with my . . . confession. i very well may FORFEIT my place in camp depending on what i say next.
