'Lets try a change of pace.' she thinks summoning the power need to fill her shadow with life

"This is going to be interesting." she states, smirking.

Cellus gasped as she saw Vincent fall, unable to tolerate injuries on either side of combat. Quickly she crouched and sprung through the shadows, emerging at Vincent's side before awkwardly grabbing the man, and dragging him back into the darkness. She reappeared behind the line of attacking allies, promptly tumbling over as she was unprepared for the extra weight of the vampire. Cellus managed to situate Vincent against the wall before turning back to the fray, looking for more injuries, and yet hoping she would not see any.

Cellus uses Shadow Jump
Location: Vincent; behind ally lines

"You... bastards!," Eleanor screamed as the combined holy attack overwhelmed her, and vanished into thin air.



Seeing the two guards dispatched, Burk jumped back to protect Cellus, "Let's hope ugly up there goes down as easy as those two."



"I must say, my guard was quite ineffective," Nathaniel admitted as he stood before his throne, "I do hope to offer you a bit more of a challenge."

With a dark chuckle at that, Nathaniel turned and fired a searing blast of blue-white lightning at Azan!

Looking up at the man as he fired the light, as the smoke from the blast clears away...
"That was fairly annoying you skeleton bastard... now time to reap your own soul."

His eyes ablaze with the fierceness he once showed Vincent was now in the direction of the skeleton.

"Betcha thought you were real smart, getting this far, but now you're going down!," Knuckles rushed in.

As he attacked, however, his fists appeared to go right through Nathaniel, who cackled and vanished.



Appearing on a high ledge where Vincent had just stood, Nathaniel smiled demonically down at the group, "Not a bad likeness, eh? However, you'll find that the real me is less easily felled, and I must thank the minotaur for revealing to me why he was able to shrug off all those eldritch traps I placed in the maze..."



"M-monster!," Brother Light tried to grip his holy symbol, but it shook from his hand.

Watching as the skeleton vanished from sight and then appeared in the upper balcony of the room, letting out a hiss to the skeleton, he prepares for another onslaught against the skeleton,

"Alright, will you be Brother Light?," Tal tried to comfort the shaken priest, who seemed too badly shaken by the evil aura of his opponent to respond.

Cellus stepped through the shadows and appeared at Brother Light's side. She quickly leaned down, scooping his symbol from the ground and pressing it into his shaking hands. She glared up at the skeleton before them with a look of intense anger. "If it worked once, it'll work again," she muttered, leaping through the darkness once more, immerging behind the necromancer. Her hands shone with a holy white light which she slammed into his back, "This is for the Wetreed, you monster!" she cried, a mixture of fury and anguish in her voice.

As the shuriken veered harmlessly off him, Nathaniel's smile became even more twisted with cruelty. While one of his shadow selves fired a beam of dark electricity down at Knuckles, another made a series of arcane gestures, and Eleanor rose again to fight for her master.

Just then, Cellus appeared, and Nathaniel turned with annoyance to her attempt to weaken him, "Little flowers, how easily they wilt..."

With that, he fired a beam directly at her.

"Shit!," was all Knuckles got out before the blast hit him.



Immediately running over, Brother Light laid his hands on the burnt body, "Father in Heaven, may this warrior return. May this warrior return to fight on the side of goodness and light. Protect him from darkness; protect his soul..."

Watching as his shurikens bound off him once again, Cerys getting a little more angrier than most have ever seen him, he vanishes from sight and appears near Natanial extending his claws and sharpening them as they appear he slashes at the skeleton in the midsection and then in the legs,

Seeing Knuckles fall, and Cellus nearly killed, Tal's aura grew dark with anger.

"Enough!," he looked up at Nathaniel, grabbing his own holy symbol, "Enough is enough. Be brought low to the dust, you shall, to appreciate it better!"

Cellus let out a choked cry as she saw Knuckles fall, jumping through the shadows to appear at Tal's side. She slipped her hand into his free hand, letting her energy flow out of her and into Tal. Her legs began to shake as she felt her wanton energy use catch up with her, but she refused to let that stop her.

Walking over to his friends, Burk placed a hand on Tal's opposite shoulder, staring up at Nathaniel with a confident smile, "You may be able to make the land sick, but you can't fight the cure to your own disease old man. It's time for Marrowbrook to get well."



"This... is insane!," Eleanor gasped as she saw the holy energy radiating from the trio, "She who fights and runs away..."

With that, the vampiress vanished in a puff of smoke!
