((ooc: I feel so weird doing a post including both my characters, so excuse any lameness, but going to do part of Jade's response here, so excuse the length due to that))
"The civilians all seemed to be ranged fighters. They were dealt with quickly enough by threatening the life of their close ranged fighter, however." Balir answered her question with a smirk that definitely implied he had no trouble with them. He debated for a second if he should warn Legretta that one of them would bear a close resemblance to him, but he doubted the woman would be fazed by that.
"And don't underestimate the Fon Master; though I doubt he can attack that many again."
He hated admitting his stupid men were taken down by such a boy and one who barely looked like he could hurt a fly, much less a dozen or more soldiers, but Legretta needed to know that he and the girl were devious and determined indeed.
There was no time to say much more, so he had to hope that Legretta's brains would figure out how to deal with this situation. He saw the three people exit and Legretta shoot at one of them then go towards the others.
If he had it right, his target was Jade the Necromancer. The man was a very skilled fonist, but that meant he probably wasn't as skilled in close combat. Odd, he didn't seem to be preparing a fonic arte. Now this just might be interesting. He raised his sword, ready to meet his target who he was sure would be surprised.
Of course, effectively dealing with the Necromancer and keeping a hold on the Fon Master Guardian would be tricky. Balir was definitely not known for his immense skills in combat, he knew that he was probably not the most skilled of the God-Generals. His advantage lay in the fact that his weapon of choice was so strange that it tended to confuse or incapacitate most victims of it fast. His cousin had been a prime example of that, though it could have also been his words that accomplished much of that reaction.
He held his sword only in his right hand, using his left to keep a hold of the guardian. Though he honestly didn't mind if she escaped in the process here, she couldn't do so quite yet. He had to at least make it appear that he wasn't going to give her up without a fight.
He went for his usual tactic of attempting to disarm his attacker. He knew very well that the average attacker would fend this off easily, but the Third Fonons would sting when that was done. That was his intent, to see just how strong the Necromancer truly was. He didn't doubt the man would be capable of still standing.
Jade did find it easy to deflect the God-General's sword with his spear. It wasn't all that skilled of an attempt considering what he had expected. Though with a God-General, it could be possible that he was attempting to confuse his enemy.
And then Jade knew what the reason behind that was. He was glad that his wasn't a swordsman the moment he felt the Third Fonons. As it was he almost dropped his spear. He had never encountered such a weapon before. Was it a creation of Dist's perhaps? No, Dist wouldn't create something that wasn't flashy.
But he couldn't take his eye off the God-General, or Anise either for that matter. The female God-Generals seemed to have picked Luke and Tear as their targets. He stepped backwards a bit and quickly thought of the best way to deal with this God-General and to get Anise away from the blonde haired man.
Balir smirked. Just as he expected, he still had an attacker, but he had confused the man. "So how do you like my sword, Necromancer?"
"Oh, I only found that it tickled a bit."
"And I'm sure this little Guardian won't find that it tickles. Why don't you surrender now, Necromancer? If you don't, I'll be glad to rid the world of such a nuisance." Balir said as he gripped the girl more closely with his left arm. He doubted the Necromancer cared about her personally, but he could get a better idea of her importance overall with a threat like this. He doubted Jade the Necromancer would risk so much to kidnap the Fon Master so randomly. There had to be a reason for it.
