    Private Tales Light and Fire

    No other hand with which to pull himself up. But he didn't need one. Erën crashed down from the air by the fissure's edge and Lazule felt a small and precious gem of relief, a harkening back to the more human body he once inhabited. How capable it was, Lena's body, of making him feel as though...

    The horde pounced upon Lazule, and all became a flurry of violence. Claws from the Wretches tore into the rock and metal of his armor. Each swing to the right would earn him three swipes on his left, and each swing to the left would earn him three swipes on his right. Such were their numbers...

    Lazule stopped short of engaging of Arkhivom. His pronged feet dug into the dirt and he came to an abrupt halt, the form of his armor bathed now in brilliant orange light. And here Lazule through his golden visor could but stare in awe. Like a kind of birthing, an emerging of a thing from inside...

    All of Father's Mantras, his teachings, the razor thin purpose he had instilled within Lazule bid him to go to the site of the Dragon's impact. To finish the beast while it was down. To take its scalp and as proof of the deed. Necessary was the abandonment of Erën and Caliane to fight on their...

    With the slowness of amazement, this even in the midst of battle, Lazule slowly came to stand and to level his Shield. Caliane had intercepted the torrent of hellfire spewing forth from the Dragon's mouth. It was to him as if his spoken Mantra had manifested itself in the very moment which...

    Through the haze their foe began to emerge. The ever impassive gaze of Lazule's golden visor observed, face beneath forever obscured behind lifeless metal and crystal. Memories of the Unknown Warrior, the Templar whose body resided within the enclosure of armor, seeped through: flashes of a...

    The demon was expelled from Lazule's immediate presence, but it was far from defeated. Lazule had witnessed many a fell beast be cleaved with a single Celestial Strike from Erën. Here, it served to gauge the formidable strength of what they were up against. Yet, while Lazule could take heart in...

    A flash of sparks and embers fanned out from Arkhivom's shield, a low warbling sound came from Lazule's weapon upon impact, and the Lance was deflected. As was Lazule himself. Arkhivom's might was unparalleled, and Lazule's feet were briefly parted from the ground before he could right himself...

    In all things, echoes of what has come before. Here was the flight of the dragon. There was a dragon before, in Bhathairk, that had joined the mass grave into which Lazule hurled corpse after corpse of the wicked. He did not recall much other than that. The wicked, the monstrous, they were all...

    Lazule slowed his approach. Through the shifting gap of tree trunks flickered the orange glow of the fire. He could not yet tell exactly what was on fire, but from the distance he estimated it to be sizeable. Not a tree or group of trees, judging from the profile. A cabin? Unknown, as of yet...

    Lazule joined Erën outside. He saw the plume of smoke peeking through the tops of trees, and he was perplexed. The probability of such a large column of smoke going unnoticed by him was low--surely he would have seen it if it had been happening on his journey back. The source of the fire had to...

    Lazule snapped his visored gaze over to Erën the moment Caliane said the word leader, the motion deadly serious, crystal clear in how he regarded this notion. Monsters that were mindless were one thing, those with the sentience paralleling mundane animals another, and those with...

    "Objectively," Lazule said, "time is the only determinant of the veracity of these visions." Lazule felt indifferent about the visions the three of them had experienced. He did not see them as a certain future, nor did he discount the possibility that circumstances could so be arranged by...

    Private Tales Light and Fire

    There were times in which Lazule preferred Lena's body over the Unknown Warrior's. The ability to emote was a powerful, if subtle, means of communication. Admittedly, he had not done it much when he was contained within Lena's body, but the point still stood. Now, however, in the conclusion of...

    The orb reflected brightly in Lazule's visor. And he glanced from the object to Erën and to the object again. It was improbable that Erën did not already know, yet Lazule felt compelled to speak the observation aloud. "Your sword." The material from which the orb had been crafted, as he went...
