Nikolai
Not all truths
Belong to the light

Nikolai feels a surge of both pride and shock when his strike lands despite the claw rebuttal. Even though he was doing his best, part of him hadn't expected to actually land a hit on the Demi-god. It's this moment of surprise that gives Wessex the opportunity. The bulk of the panther slams into him and the younger Ascended and if he'd needed to breath all of the air would have been knocked from his lungs.
As it where, Nikolai is knocked backwards, one leg giving out and his knee slamming into the earth. No on the defense, Nikolai slashes upwards with his knife. It's a bit brutal, but he aims for the eyes. Even if he misses, he hopes that the attempt will force distance between them as Wessex dodges. It feels wrong to Nikolai to take such aim at her, but he got the feeling that Wessex would rather he fight her like he would an enemy. And in a life or death situation with an Attuned, Nikolai wouldn't hesitate to fight dirty.
