Despite all Zan's careful planning, despite the almost mechanical efficiency with which Nulus and him worked together, both could do little but watch as nothing of it came to fruition. The shadowed leap, the Kannon, the strikes at her vital points...nothing. Not even Nulus' furious, numerous swipes ...

Oh- [/color] -God damn it. [/b] It was like being forced to watch a train wreck in slow motion. Every step of Zan and Nulus' carefully executed plan was torn and demolished like it was child's play. The lycanthrope would have understood, would have been able to accept it better if it had been one o...

Death by magic. It almost seemed a ludicrous, such a defeat coming from the hands of Zan. All of it had made him realize how little he used the stuff, how often he relied on his physical might and completely ignored his almost daunting arsenal of magical spells. Only one of them was of the second le...

With but a single word, Zan had succeeded in making a deal with the greed-spilling Angel. Perhaps it hadn't been his deal to make. Perhaps he should have consulted all who had given to the pot before simply accepting the terms. Perhaps. In the end, it was all subjective to possibility and theory. On...

Lingering in the charred stench of the Temple Knight's death gave Zan time to mull over the battle in slow motion in his head. Though he rarely had the time to indulge such tactical ponderings when in the midst of some Freedom Fighter mission, it was something he tried to do as often as possible whe...

Pointless. All of it, pointless. No matter how hard Zan struck, no matter how gracefully Nulus flew and slashed at the pet it was just... useless. Other than the undeniable force of impact, the slight twitch from collision, the damn doll never showed so much as a wince or a gasp of pain. Coming to a...

Zan was in no rush to initiate combat or, really, make use of the whole reason Nulus and himself were there in the first place - to train. It seemed suddenly too much work amidst the beauty of Raine's work...too... unfortunate . That such a place had to be disturbed with violence was a pity. No, tha...

Zan and Nulus continued their synchronized, strategically strong assault on the pet in hopes that it would bring about some sort of solution. Nothing, however, revealed itself despite their best efforts. There was transfer of the golden light, no temporary vulnerability for their true target. Attack...

Hoorah. I look forward to things getting back to normal.

Slice after slice, attack after attack was fell upon Angel with success - in terms of making contact, that is. Despite the fact that the impact of the blows sent the Guardian back time and time again, it was obvious to Zan within a few seconds that she wasn't in pain. Either she had an immense toler...

Zan's 'conversation' with Raquar could hardly be considered productive, on any continent, but it served a purpose just the same. Though the werewolf had feared that he was steadily losing his faith in those around him because of their judgments, it was harder to give up on them as a whole than he ha...
