Deimos
before bones, before dirt, before even light
this is who we were
Rapid movements, shapes, and motions fueled through the denizens again and again. Noah teleported, arranging himself upon the wall and in relative safety – his unicorn somehow clambering up as well and healing him. While other actions might have taken place, there wasn’t enough time to follow up on arrows or precisions – this is who we were
Which left it down to Deimos and Sah. The Sword benefitted from a lack of trepidation now – the Forsaken was back alongside them – and now only the ferocity of his remaining abhorrence engaged with the tactics at play. Instead of opting for his ice shards again, he pulled and twisted the knife of his life drain, extending the intangible threads to bite, gnaw, and smote away portions of the bear as it strived to climb.
But it’d be no use – for no sooner had the Warden done his damage, Sah followed up – a blistering course of lightning igniting the sky, and pulverizing, piercing, into the creature’s sides. It never had a chance to get any closer – for with a dying roar, it fell upon the wall, and then slid down, ungracefully, to remain with the rest of its constituents.
Deimos let out another long, low sigh as everything around them stilled. “Well done again,” he noted, feeling like an echo, but meaning it all the same. “You all right?” he extended to Noah, but having no healing of his own, he could only reassure Zuriel down below (as she made her way around) that everything was fine. Belial soared above, and the most bizarre semblance of peace settled into the void.
Giving them all a moment to calm themselves down from the fractious activity, he murmured into their small space. “We should set these on fire too.”
