Blessed are they who stand before
The corrupt and the wicked and do not falter.
Blessed are the peacekeepers, the champions of the just.
Wisdom and instinct demanded he run. The BOOM and SWOOSH of wings larger than any he'd ever beheld seemed large enough to grip coldy at his heart and urge it to stop, skip and murmur. Frozen and still the commander remained, his eyes fixed ahead at the erruption from the canyon before each eye was flickered over the men and women who stood at his side.
"Steel yourselves..." were the warrior's breathless words "Hold your position" Maxence would then demand of them, lifting his wings and grounding himself firmly upon the rock and sand in preparation for something monstrous.
'Any last words?'
He could hear her childish knickers as though she was still right there facing death beside him. No matter the odds or how great the foe, it had been Yvesmerelda who stood at his right flank through every fight until her last. Twisting his nose to the right, wishing to see his friend of what felt like centuries he was met with an entirely different presence - he might even be disappointed were he not preoccupied with the beast lunging from the opposite canyon wall.
It was Seraphina's words instead that moments ago had brought him encouragement and comfort, blessing him with her will for Solis to fight with him. 'If only' Maxence had thought, though he truly was quite thankful for the words of wisdom and her tactical mind.
Another beat, another thud was soon to pass and already Maxence was lurching forward in anticipation, only to be halted by the Teryrs sudden arrival. Busrting from it's dark realm 'neath the rock and slab, the commander hardly even had a moment to take in it's frightful features before it was upon them. As the warrior flared his wings and buckled upward for flight, horror seemed to hold him first as the beast enveloped not one, not two, but three of his comrades. The first he witnessed to fall under the shadow of it's unforgiving wings was Seraphina; and so that was the name he cried out.
"SERAPHINA!" He boomed from the skies, aiming his sharpened and calloused hooves down upon one of the two wings that held his warriors captive. Now his wish for blood and turmoil would not be satisfied until the monster keeled and squealed for peace, so as he drove his to front hooves downward upon a radial joint in the beast's wings he wished for nothing other than a devastating fracture, oen that would ground the beast for the rest of the fight.
