The life of a Royal Bastard, Alistair

 

I brought my sword down over the ectoplasm of the demon, slicing through its gelatinous form.  The demons that had been called forth through blood magic surrounded our party. Leliana was riddling the manifestations with arrows and the mage of the circle, Wynne, used spells to paralyze them into place then finish them off with fire that spurt from her staff. The results left dead demons that were charbroiled and steaming or in Leliana’s case, gigantic dead porcupines. Rose was fighting by my right, and we had naturally started working as a pair. Using my sword and shield techniques, I fought defensively, currently bashing a skeleton to dust with my large shield. Rose fought offensively, by jumping forward with her two blades drawn and coming back down to earth as she cut through both of the oncoming desire demon’s arms. As she came to a crouched position, she took her right blade, the blade that she still carried from when I met her that was too big for her hand at the hilt, and struck from the right on the demon. She cut from the demons stomach on the right and up through her breast on her left. She took the smaller blade in her left hand and stabbed her in the jugular, twisting it through the desire demon’s neck. Blood was flying everywhere. Rose withdrew her blade and jumped back to me, as she recovered to find her next target. She was drenched in blood, glanced at me and with a savage smile said, “Are we having fun yet?”

 “Oh indeed, but I say for our next outing lets go dancing instead.”

“Deal”

A demon came to her right, and I twisted around her back and swept my sword through it chest region, rage demons look like blobs so you guess about anatomy, and the demon fell. Rose had in turn twisted behind my back and drove both of her blades up to both hilts into the head region of a rage demon behind me. In the act of me trying to guard her, she was guarding my back. I yelled out over the chaos, “We work well together!”

Rose smiled and gestured towards another group of demons in the room. I nodded and we both charged, screaming battle cries in the heat of the moment as we fell upon the evil creatures. In this way, we fought through the room, killing everything in sight, covered in blood, tissue and slimy ectoplasm from the demons. Together, nothing could stop us.
