However, at the same time that Cody froze in what the paladin could only guess was fear, he felt a twisted and dark presence near Amaya and Joshua, an evil presence. He swiftly approached the trio, his helmet clinking into place even as he drew his sword and his shield took it's place on his left arm and he took up a position between the three and the presence, who appeared to be a very demented man. [color=SteelBlue]"Don't seek to insult our intelligence, dark one. You would kill everyone around us just to entertain yourself. So instead, I give you a chance to turn and walk away, or face my Holy wrath."[/color] For emphasis, a slight golden aura appeared around Amaya, Joshua, and Cody and his sword's blade turned a bright gold, indicating some kind of spell. [color=SteelBlue]"Choose wisely, because I can cast a shield of protection around every person within three blocks and still take you."[/color] Whether it was a bluff or not, even James wasn't sure of. He'd never used more than a fraction of his magic during any one fight because of so much of the nature of his spells.
