Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 37

M:   The two eternals manifested weapons when the Jacobites started coming, Askad summoned a spear and Oderus chose a crossbow, but before they could enter the fight they heard the masked man run away.

"YOU," Askad roared, "GET BACK HERE, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

The Naga slithered after the retreating entity before Oderus could stop him, so he signaled to Esha that the masked country was there and for her to rally the others for reinforcements. Although he wanted to go after Askad, the two humans needed him more at this point, so he begrudgingly stayed put and helped fight off the Jacobites.

N:   Josef continued to fight the first Jacobite, having sustained a shot to the leg in the process, however, he was able to get the upper hand and knocked the musket out of the Jacobite's hand.

"Auf Wiedersehen," he growled as he lobbed off the Jacobite's hand and stabbed him in the stomach. Satisfied that the other was close to death, he pushed him into a pool of venom nearby, letting the Jacobite slowly die.

Nearby, Julian was fighting unarmed with an armed Jacobite and was struggling. Fighting was never his strong suit, but he tried his best anyway, landing hits on the enemy's face and stomach. Eventually, he was knocked down, and was about to be killed when the Jacobite spun around to block Josef's incoming attack.

It took only a minute for the Jacobite to be defeated, but this time the young man got a slice across his forearm.

"Why are you still here," he asked Julian as the other rushed to his side, "go and keep yourself safe."

"Em ȧr ukha (don't be stupid). I can look after myself; it's you I'm worried about."

 "I'm fine," Josef snapped as he got to his feet, and as he did he saw a Jacobite run and try to attack Julian, so he pushed his friend away, but in turn was shoved into the venom. Everything stung, especially his foot and arm, and it hurt when he tried to move.

Eventually, he got up, his eyes shut as he tried to make sure no venom got into them. Julian carefully helped him out and they sat in a secluded place so he can clean his wounds.

"Joey, you can open your eyes now," Julian spoke softly as he glanced at the sunglasses floating in the venom, "your out now."

Josef nodded and opened his eyes, his silver irises starkly contrasting with his black sclerae, and his gaze rapidly flicked between the people around him, weary that his glasses weren't on him.

M:   Oderus was defending the two from a few other Jacobites, he was a good shot with the crossbow and fell the enemy with one shot, unfortunately, the last Jacobite managed to shoot the eternal in the chest before he was taken out.

Odrus fell to his knees, gasping for air as the musket ball punctured his lung, through great willpower however, he closed his eyes and focused his energy on the wound, slowly closing as it healed. The country vomited soon after, healing charms were very draining, especially when used on oneself, so his body reacted violently before quickly recovering.

He wiped his mouth and turned to where he heard the two "humans", his eyes squinting as he tried to find their spirits.

 "Can you two please lower your spirit shields," he asked, "I can't see you when they're up, and it's not like the other Short-Lives are going to be using any magic." He stood and took a step towards them, "did either of you get hit by the venom, if it gets into your wounds it will kill you within an hour, an hour and fifteen if you're lucky."
