Livia seemed oblivious to Loreley, as well as Kelendar's fate. She could only stare with wide, light blue eyes at what had just occured with Seth and Drathius. Gauntleted hand still held sword, the blade pointed towards the ground below her feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drathius would be the first one to slump a little, his breathing labored. His grip loosened slightly upon his sword, which was now resting against the bloodied ground. It hadn't impaled Seth but it had found him and bit fairly deep into the elf's left side, the torn fabric of his shirt soaked with blood. The wound, itself was not fatal, however, but blood loss might prove to be a problem in time.
Seth's features twisted into a sneer as brilliant blue eyes flickered with satisfaction and he would twist Twilight Heart inside of his foe, causing Drathius to groan in agony at the damage wrought within. Seth's silence was broken, "I am going to send you back to your master and you... you will tell him if he doesn't leave me be... I will surely find a way to kill a god..." it mattered little that Seth stood no chance against a god, the icey cold threat was still spoken as he twisted his sword again. The pain from Seth's own injuries seemed not to bother him, as of yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now... two things would happen as Seth's words trailed off. First, Livia would give a scream of anger charge towards the two ilarian elf warriors with her sword rising above her head, grasped in both hands. It would be obvious who her target would be.
Secondly, Drathius' beast of a horse would unleash a hellish neigh of rage at its master's predicament. Black mane and tail would suddenly burst into black flames and the same black fire would ignite around its hooves. This fire was not normal, it would be obvious, for it did not give off heat. Rather, it gave off a bitter chill, seemed to suck in all the heat around the creature. It's eyes flared a fiery shade of red and if one might just catch a sight of its teeth, it would have a pair of viciously sharp fangs.
This hellish creature would charge as well, another unearthly neigh tearing past its lips. It would be unclear its intent. But it knew what it must do, it must save its master and make good their escape. Livia was expendable but not Drathius, in the beast's mind at least.
Gods of War, I call you. My sword is by my side.
I seek a life of honor, free from all false pride.
I will crack the whip with a bold, mighty hail.
Cover me with death if I should ever fail.
