“Thank you, Sir Dwarf!” Lucian declared as the dead were falling down all about them, “If Morr will allow it, I would agree.”
“By the Lady…” Lucian heard Gillot say as the Knight almost fell upon the giant monster that the Necromancer called a Vargulf.
He reached onto his helm and ripped it off, revealing the young features of the princling for what they were. Lucian could see the numerous bruises and trauma that were layered across his body, many of the wounds leaking into bloody wounds from the face, but that was ignoring the blood that was still leaking in a steady stream down his arm where a nasty impact had dented his armor.
He looked towards Lucian, his eyes pained from the numerous wounds inflicted upon him. Yet he took the lighter of the two, the Knight narrowly dodging the death that taking an full impact from the Vargulf’s claws would have dealt him. Here he was wounded and in pain from it and Lucian still stood above him as if he was unharmed.
He was not normal. Perhaps not even a true human now. Lucian knew that at the very least something had happened to him to become this strong. He could remember such toughness from times even before the Rune of Dregni, the Rune of the Slayer Cult, sat upon his breast.
Lucian, for all his life, had been strong. But in those days before his journey he was at least bruised when hit by farming tools.
“Do you wish to keep gawking at me?” He asked as he stared at Lucian with conviction now laced within his visage, “Or perhaps we should get our stories straight. As much as I hate it he, that Dwarf, saved my life by guiding me to you.”
“I am the same.” Lucian said to his fellow Knight Errant, “He knew we would work well together and so guided us through Omen and Portence.”
The Prince gave a small laugh, then shook his head at the fact, “Was he not a mortal creature then? A figment of the Gods?”
“Yes, in that I am certain.” Lucian told his foe with firmness that held no place for another opinion.
“Then to whose honor does the Dwarf’s credit goes?” Gillot asked as he laid further into the Vargulf.
“We will both have that honor, just as we do this monster.” Lucian said as he pointed to the creature the Prince sat himself upon.
