DEIMOS
the fire can't touch me
for I have burned too many times
for I have burned too many times
Deimos had fought many too.
Some larger than him. Some smaller than him. Some swifter than him. Each and every opponent had some advantage – speed, range, power, precision, might – and he’d been made for endurance and fortitude. The monolith had taken many hits, and had the scars to prove it; but survived. Kept up with the onslaughts. Dug into the ground. Maintained ferocity and machinations until it seemed as if he would shatter.
The barest hints of a smirk wove around as she maneuvered and evaded once more; and he followed. Her hammer didn’t quite make it to blows along his back – the armor took care of most of it, but he saw the opportunity pinpointed there – taking the hit so he could snag at the instant. Had it been the serrated edges and not the blunted side, it would’ve likely been another story of detrimental injuries.
So he swung his sword towards her open side, intending to see something else besides constant shifting.

the sea can't harm me
for I have been drowning all my life
