DEIMOS
the resurrected sword
It was risky of Ray – had the peryton not been trusting, much more disastrous things could’ve struck. As it was, the little deer froze for an instant, and Deimos’ reassurance pulsed through – though even the tiger had some moment of intrigue and hesitation. Not of the snake form itself, but of the potential of lethality behind it.
A flash of movement, intertwining of fangs, and then Belial dashed backwards – instinctively dropping the lizard. Presiding in his strength, dominion, and composure, Deimos tilted his head, picking up his previous kill in between his teeth, before standing protectively over the peryton. I see, as it made sense to the Sword. An herbalist with her own set of poison, speed, and mastery could be a threat in its own accord. Will you be making an antidote too? Meant to be more of a tease, considering their last conversation; his tone juvenile.
The lizard didn’t appear to move though: either from the shock of the bite, or Belial’s previous antics, frozen and still. Was it biding its time until they were distracted by something else? Or had the poison begun to take effect, unseen by their eyes?

still standing
not because you can
but because you have to
