Fight to Live, Live to Fight. [O/A]

"If you know who it is, then why worry..?"

Almost out of instinct, Krom caught the spear near the blade, the spikes at the bottom digging into his hand as he tightened his grip, spinning around, the handle slicing through the air right where Calidan's head was.
If it hit, not only would it hurt like a b***h, but the spear itself would break from the force.

Calidan quickly ducked and lunged at the man. He aimed to mortally injure him, going in to break bones.  

[Zahzi]

Calidan's face then came into contact with Krom's other hand.
The swing had been meant to force him to come even closer, and in a certain direction.
The hand clasped around his head, lifting him into the air before slamming him to the ground. Hard.  

[xxxCheshireCat]

Before Calidan was able to react, the man's hand gripped his hand and slammed it into the ground. He grunted and could feel warm blood trickling down the side of his face. His vision was blurry and his head hurt like hell.  

[Zahzi]

Krom's hand remained where it was, keeping him pinned to the ground.
"Are you finished?" he asked in his usual dull tone.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"A good soldier never leaves a man alone or behind." Habitus replied simply.

"Please, sir. Let it be at that."  

[Zahzi]

"I take it you're a soldier, then..?" Divinious asked, raising an eyebrow.
"...Why are you here, anyway?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I have served for Orkai proudly, yes." Habitus nodded. "But, in the eyes of politics and power, I am nothing. So I'm coming to fight, and become a Champion. I was told to seek you and your team, as you take in criminals and nameless men."  

[Zahzi]

"And idiots." Divinious chuckled, gesturing to Calidan.
He then looked back to Habitus.
"And are you SURE you want this? Not many volunteer to do this kind of thing."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I'm very sure." Habitus stared at Divinious, his eyes burning with a strong and palpable passion.

"I need the title of Champion, Sir. Without it, I am powerless to help my family in our greatest time of need."  

[Zahzi]

Divinious just gave a chuckle.
"So far, the only Champion on this property is Krom, as you might have expected."  

[xxxCheshireCat]

Calidan soon came back to his senses and could hear the voices of others. He growled and shoved the hand away from his face as he quickly stood up, but stumbled back a little. He was able to remain on his feet as blood trickled down the sides of his face.  

[Zahzi]

Krom watched him get back up. He did the same, staring him down.
"Are you finished with your attack..?"  

[xxxCheshireCat]

Calidan remained silent, deciding not to reply to this man. He knew that he wouldn't be able to take care of this man quickly and attempt to take on the guards after that. For now, he was stuck here to fight for his life.  

[Zahzi]

Krom remained where he was, waiting to see what the man would do.
