Justice can only exist in the conduct of the Kingdom only as it resides in the hearts of our citizens.” My heart of completely unclouded. My actions are all those of this “justice”!” [/color] There was one action that Maria could never forgive, and that was the killing of innocent civilians. However, this man was not innocent. Any rational innocent individual would have thrown down their weapons. Only those with something to hide choose to fight against the establishment. [color=gold] “It matters not if you are a commoner or a nobleman; an untouchable or a king. I, Maria von Hohenzollern, will be the one to judge you! I am not someone as petty to think ‘I will kill you’. When I think ‘I will kill you’ the deed has already been done!” [/color] [/quote] The first thrust came after the self righteous drivel spewed from her mouth. Mithril was a criminal, yes, but he wasn't a.. No wait he was. They were indeed justified for attacking him but that didn't mean he was going to lay down and be overwhelmed by, what was that word again.. Ah yes.. [color=ed1c24][b]"COWARDS." [/b][/color] The attack came in the form of a simple thrust aimed at his hand, similar to the elf earlier, but his blood was up no so the outcome was not the same. Mithril slammed his armored fist into the side of the blade as it thrust forward to divert the blade to the side with a loud ringer of steel of steel. Not to be deterred, the second strike on his shoulder cut a small hole into the fabric of his motley shirt but did not plunge into the skin. Hundreds of consumed swordsmen had given every last ounce of skill with their blades to the hungry will of the golden sword and made it a fearsome weapon it itself. Every detail of an opponents strike was measured against the combined knowledge stored in the recesses of Mithrils mind and turned to action on instinct. [color=ed1c24]"You speak of justice but you are not but COWARDS. GROVELING BEHIND IDEALISMS OF PEACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS."[/color] Mithrils aura of fear turned to the purest anger as he channeled his magic into his open palms, resulting in a spark of flames. [color=ed1c24]"YOU WILL BURN AS THEY ALL HAVE. EL GOA!"[/color] Twin roaring flames erupted from his open hands as the magic exploded and took form, one hand pointed at the 'golden bitch' Maria while the other was aimed at the presumptuous elf girl. Even as the flames blazed out in all its fury it was all just a distraction. Behind one such curtain of flames came Mithril with his rapier in hand. As the fire dissipated, the magic lost as he charged, the outline of a silver rapiers edge cut through the flames aiming to decapitate the Knightess. The flame curtain would not likely stop the Elf girl for long but it would still give him a few seconds to exchange blows with Maria, assuming that his swipe didn't kill the foolhardy woman first. Mithrils high pitched cackle followed the swing of his blade as it arced through the air.
