Meteor Effect

The Heart Of All Creation: Chapter 3: Won't Be Laughing Another Day

Wels holds his breath.

Ren puffs into existence and shakes his fur out.

Wels holds a finger to his lips, "Stay here with Tango please, respawns are pretty choppy."

Huffing Ren floops onto the floor.

"Can you sleep next to him?"

Ren cocks his head to the side.

"He's not doing well." Wels explains, "If he wakes up and thinks he's alone I don't think he'd be ok."

Ren nods and gently jumps onto the bed, stretching out; he tucks his head into his paws and drapes his tail over Tango's back. Tango rolls into Ren's side after a moment.

"Thank you," Wels said, "Is the fight still in the same place? By the perimeter?"

Ren nods.

Wels turns on his heel and spreads his wings. He's got hermits to help.

As Avar watches Wels fly off in the direction of the spawn he laughs, "Now you're down two hermits."

Impulse glares at the meteor, "You're right, you don't deserve another chance." He lunges, cutting Avar's arm.

Touching his arm Avar grins, "Well, I haven't felt this in ages..."

Keralis makes a gagging sound, "That's gross ." He buzzes his wings together.

The hermits raise their weapons and watch as Avar unclips his swords from his belt.

Then all hell breaks loose.

Avar is holding his own against twenty hermits, only a few can attack at a time. But when one tires another is ready to take their place.

They use Avar's own 'gifts' against him.

Shifting into wolf form Ren builds up speed and pounces.

Digging his fangs into Avar's exposed arm. Biting down to the bone. Ren thrashes his head.

Avar draws his arm back and stabs his sword through Ren's rib cage.

Yelping in pain Ren loosens his bite. Avar flings him off his sword.

As Ren disappears into respawn Xisuma takes his place. Giving Avar a face full of spines. The spines find the chinks in his armor and pierce right though them.

A few minutes later Wels returns to the fight. Jumping right into the fray.

Iskall pours a splash potion of healing onto Cub and Scar as he bolts towards the fight.

The lion shakes his head with renewed vigor and Scar shoots up into the air.

Impulse slams into Iskall's back. Avar stands above them and grins.

Void's eyes flash from where it stands watching. Impulse grabs a potion from the ground and chucks it at Avar's face.

The sticky pink liquid drips down his face. The black in his sclera clears.

He swallows. "What? Oh gods." He pants... as he falls to his knees throwing his sword aside. "What have I done..."

The dimensions so round him.

Avar looks up then drops his head.

Vex steps forwards. Lifting his chin she shakes her head. "I forgive you for killing me while under the Withers influence."
