3rd POV

  A graveyard of death, a legion of corpses and plot unveiled as Momon and Nabe chase down Cinder searching for Nphirea who had gone missing.  The chase lead to the mausoleum where the confronted a grand necromance and his cult.  Calling out the killer, the vicious Clementine they split to do battle.

Cinder: "What? You didn't think I wouldn't take this chance to bring you down a couple dozen notches did you Momon?" I seethed out and crushed an Ember in my hand, my body alight with power as my blade glowed with the light of the Darkmoon Blade. "Three people. Three factions, one night to play together." I laughed as a grin split my face, Clementine's showing the same sadistic nature found in her voice as Momon held a blade out to each of us now.

Momon: "Then Clementine, I suppose I shall have to fight only slightly more seriously."

  All was silent for a moment, each warrior, or in Momon's case hiding caster, thinking and preparing for the first sign of combat to begin their dance to the death.  Clementine counting the seconds and watching for the minuet shifts in their posture, Cinder preparing his countermeasures for each in his mind, knowing that Clementine would be nothing but a stain and two halves with a single riposte of his Hornet Ring.  Momon silently freaking out in his head, knowing that he'd need to deal with Cinder as fast as possible, and that the only chance he had would be to kill the assassin and then reveal his true form to unleash his power upon the burning lord.

  Cinder moved first, shifting on his heel, his off hand flashing with with a miracle.  He learned swiftly that not all the games rules applied, the shield could rest on his back and still use other offhand weapons as long as they were less then or equal in class to his primary weapon.  This case Priscilla's Crystal Hair charm tossing out a line of glistening golden white disks.  Normally such a miracle would be useless, however in world it's use was changed.  A poise breaker.

  Five disks effected by the weapon art or Priscilla's talisman, Touch of Life Hunt, streaked towards the dark warrior.  Clementine tensing her legs and waiting for the expected onslaught from the blue clad night.  As Momon fumbled to get away Cinder rushed towards the copper clad Clementine taking the curved blade in two hands swinging the blade in a hissing downwards ark, spinning into the slash once, twice, thrice.  Clementine leapt up kicking off his shoulder blades and landing behind him.

She barely noticed the white discs flinging themselves back towards the Knight.

  As her lord Momon and Cinder walked off with the human woman Nabe stared at the wretched red clad sorcerer a moment, surrounded by his cult of even lesser worms.

Khajit: "This woman?" the necromancer smirked at the battle maid in disguise.

Nabe: With a light smirk she held her palms apart, "Twin Maximise Magic!" she relished in the shock, barely hearing the 'What?!' of Khajit before shouting out "Electrosphere!" and throwing her hand forwards to obliterate the cultists. 

Khajit:  When the smoke cleared Khajit stood alone with a mocking laugh "You fool."

Nabe: "Goodness.  You should just squish easily like a caterpillar."

The night had only just begun.  An elegant dance of magic and might, blades and spells would scream into the night air as a true battle was had.

Khajit: "So you're a fool who can use third tier magic." he called out the seemingly weak achievement.
