Description

Like a rabid mongrel it attacked, cloaked in flesh like wrought metal. The only reason I was able to notice it was because from its mouth roared a sound I can only describe as what I imagine a star would. But now, with the Helm of Zahl upon my head, my muscles twitched with energized power allowing me to catch the demon by the throat. Then I was able to get a better look at the creature. Its skin was black as a starless sky but reflected a considerable amount of light like a mirror. It clawed at me with fingers like knives until I slammed it into the icy ground below which cracked with the force I was able to output. I could hear the bones in the creature's wings snap as I did.

Any regular Auratellian warrior would have died from the attack but the ice broke before the demon did. I was so stunned by its resilience that it was able to slash my thigh. It went straight for the arteries in my leg like it knew every one of my weak points either by knowledge of experience or it somehow was able to tell by just pointing its featureless face upon me. In retaliation I smashed the top of my maul into its stomach as it lay there. I wrapped the wound quickly with my free hand and I noticed something strange in the blood that had begun to ooze from the cannon ball sized crater in the creature. Many lights shone within, like a galaxy had been spilled on a lake of ice but looking down at the corpse I spotted another one flying in my direction in the distance. This demon I blasted with the electrical energy that surged from my helm and the creature was immolated; but I was still surrounded by many more. As those moments ticked by I was using everything that my clan had taught me and once again I could feel the glory of battle without the burden of the wound that once plagued me.
