Tensing her jaw she slid one of her hands from the hilt of the sword letting it glide down the blade before she pressed her palm flat against it throwing her weight into her stance causing him to once more stumble back giving her the opportunity to bring it around and up the tip cutting into his shoulder, her already cold dark eyes seeming more black than normal as he caught his stance again wincing slightly at the pain in his shoulder though an eerily creepy chuckle still managed to slip through his lips filling the air around them, [color=Blue]"It was a mistake to let you live as long as you have. I will be the first to admit that we were young and foolish to believe that you, of all Angels, wouldn't survive your fall from grace... But take my word on it, I will not make that mistake a second time Kaelani."[/color] Lowering her blade so that the tip was dragging along behind her just as the tips of her wings were doing she continued to stare him down each step towards him causing the ground to crack below her bare feet, [color=Bisque]"Because I will not give you the chance. Just as I will not give you the chance to touch another hair on his head."[/color] Quickening her pace she brought her hand across both now gripping tightly to the hilt as she brought it up and around again and again, each movement more ferocious and violent then the next forcing him into defending himself rather than attacking and in turn pushing him further and further away from where Taiga was situated the sound of his gear being activated ringing in the recesses of her mind though she was barely concentrating on it, the young fallen one too focused on keeping the one member she hadn't truly seen eye to eye with at a safe distance while the thought of sweet revenge on one of the three Angels that had ruined her life slowly began to creep in on her thoughts. [color=Blue]"You are pathetic and weak! Sinking to the level at which you have... Protecting those beasts you were once trained to seek out and destroy..!"[/color] Letting out a loud and frustrated yell she once more swung her blade around catching him in the side though her action was foreseen a sharp pain issuing through her body spreading out from her stomach as she felt the the tip of his spear slice through her skin leaving a deep gash in its wake, [color=Bisque]"If that is how you see me then so be it. I would rather be seen in that light, then as the monster in which you are! Turning on one of your own... I trusted you, and you betrayed me! You are nothing more than a coward!"[/color] Her body shook slightly though it was more due to her anger for the man before her rather then the pain that she hadn't really taken much notice of at this point, once her adrenaline had receded and she was down from her fight she would feel it, but for now it was further then the last thing on her mind. Concentrating her mind on her blade she watched as it slowly began to heat up the metal glowing around the edges causing flames to rise up licking at the sword and threatening all who it's wielder deemed an enemy, the flames reflecting in her eyes and illuminating her face even in the light of the day adding to the cold and merciless expression she held towards him, [color=Bisque]"I would gladly spend the rest of eternity protecting someone who does not trust me, especially if it means I am able to take pleasure in running you through with my own blade Cael. And believe me... It will be a pleasure..."[/color]
