"And so I die." She stated flatly, while shutting her eyes tightly in anticipation of pain and burns.
But, miraculously, her legs did not burn. Infact, the Slayer didn't feel any kind of warmth that she expected in the first place.
Drooling to hear the agonized screams of his helpless victim, the man gave a stronger tug on the whip and pulled Aedre completely into the flames. Though she was totally immolated, the Slayer barely even felt the fire. It was as if the existence of the flames had been wiped clean for her. And then, with a final hiss of protest, the hot flames suddenly died away.
Neither of the opponents understood what had happened, both assuming that the other had been responsible.
Aedre decided to strike faster this time, now that her vision had bettered itself and she could seem much clearly. Besides, the presence of Orel seemed to have pumped a greater amount of confidence in this battle.
Hissing like water on fire, Aedre's blade entered the man's knee joint. The hilt of the weapon heated up when the blade tore into his flesh, nearly burning Aedre's hand. Then it grew icy cold, as though dousing his hot life force with a cold strength of its own. The woman had a faint idea about what had extinguished the fires.
Poseidon wasn't totally useless as a parent afterall. The slight pain that had made her wince earlier, was finally showing its boons.
The man gaped in blank horror, then screamed in agony. Never had he felt such a sting! He leaped back and tossed about wildly, trying to escape the weapon's terrible bite, dragging Aedre, who could not let go of the hilt. At the same moment, she heard a loud thud on the floor beside her- only to see the shadow of Orel having crushed one of the hellhounds into the ground.
Aedre eyed the wound incredulously as the man backed away. Steam poured from the hole in his knee, and the edges of the cut seemed to leak some watery substance. Apparently, Excalibur had decided to show its powers at this crucial moment.
Soon after, Aedre found herself standing up and lunging forward, blade fully extended before her, as if pulled by the blade's hunger to feel flesh and blood once again.
There was not enough time to react for the man, as Elucidator found the his belly and passed through it cleanly. The explosive surge as the blade touched the core of the man's life force; his heart- sent Aedre staggering several steps back while she watched him stumble and then fall down to a pathetic death.
