His blade is held with a casual, deadly grace. He dispatches them with a motion too fast to follow, then turns his gaze to you. Confusion flickers through his predatory stare. Your essence is divine, yet foreign to this battleground meant for gods and men. What is a being like you doing in this slaughterhouse?
