The momentary lapse in your rage, your benevolent nature makes you consider withdrawing and regrouping, maybe seeking an end to the hostilities after having put up a fight to repel the enemy. Before you can act on it though, you find yourself sideswiped by a mighty shield bash, knocking you down and sending you tumbling across the ground. A mighty northman warrior with speed enough to catch you off guard, Tyne and the others yell in anger to avenge you but the fierce red-headed warrior batters them aside with seeming ease, between his shield and his huge sword. All of them armed and armored these northmen, but this one looks comparable to the noble knights of the humans you're familiar with, his equipment and clothes finely made and decorated.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">"You put up a good fight, woman! Are you one of the war god's own? Ah, it's no matter... we'll just sit here you and me and have us a nice rest, while my brothers regroup."</span></span> the warrior speaks in triumph, walking over to plant his boot on you.
Though you're winded from his attack and struggling to breathe, to be able to offer a proper response. Groaning you feel the ache to your side, you recognize this as an injury different from any thus far. Unlike even the most grievous wound a mortal could deal to you, which you wouldn't suffer in any significance, this blow from this man by contrast isn't something you could just restore yourself from. It's a genuine injury to your being, which of course can only come from a divine source; only gods can actually harm one another. Given his physical might and combat skill, you expect the reason he didn't kill you with his attack is because there's only some partial sense of divinity about him. So because of this, the attack was certainly harmful and definitely a genuine painful shock to you, but it wasn't a risk to your life.
Still, you can't help feel a little worry. He would have to put a whole hell of a lot of effort into it, if he even could manage that much, but it is within the realm of possibility that he could kill you unlike the mortals thus far. Surely as a goddess truly, you could right yourself and wrathfully defeat him same as any other foe lesser than you... but then, he carries his partial divinity as a warrior, while you are the goddess of love. You would never doubt yourself, but rage can only make up for so much...
>He got a lucky shot on you! Now it's your turn, to fight back for real. And then after him, whoever is left... if they haven't retreated by then.
>You'll fight back, sure... but this one warrants further understanding. See if you can't capture him, even if it means giving up on the battle.
>You don't have time for this! The elves are getting away, and as mortals they need to be punished. Throw this warrior off and resume your pursuit of the enemy.
>Since he hasn't tried to attack you further, is there something he wants? Maybe he can be reasoned with?
