N E X U S R E A C T O R -[]- Eric Wormwood -[]- J U N E 6
It became chaos almost immediately. Once Ollie loosed that first arrow, Eric knew the mission had gone sideways.
It didn't matter that some...weirdo with a death wish had sneaked up on them.
It didn't matter that the sniper with them was connected to the mysterious stranger. To him, nothing mattered except the mission.
And the mission right now was turning into a disaster.
Ollie loosed more arrows into the Mordrem around them as Eric drew his rapier. The scything sound of metal rang in the air as the slender youth leaned past a Mordrem strike. The point of his sword soon stabbed through the shadowy beast and it fell to the ground dead, and he strode forward with Ruinga lighting the way. As he ducked to avoid another attack, he turned his attention to the group. More specifically, Ollie.
"Ollie! Cover my back and I'll carve us a way forward! Follow my light and do not falter!"That said, he hopped backward, parried a claw swing and drove his rapier through the chest of another Mordrem. With Ruinga hovering close to his head, he moved forward, cutting a swathe through the darkness. His footfalls echoed loudly through the hallways, even while the monsters growled and screeched in the shadows. Mere movements gracing his vision, even as the monsters charged him head on or from the rear. He knew the keen-eyed archer would cover his back well enough, so he knew not to turn around. His focus remained on the walkway ahead of them. The mission had to go on, with or without the pretense of stealth.
