C3 Unexpected damage

I turn back to the fight between the kids and the beasts, noticing that my protege hasn't used a weapon yet. "He didn't want to just give it up so he gave it away... from the kids profile he might try to come back later." I nod and turn back to my choices "what about seventy one? Wait, what's the kids name? You have to use an I. D. To get in the city don't you?" He shrugs and after watching the kids for a bit longer turns away, opening a portal "couldn't tell ya, he never used it. My guards didn't know who the hell I was talking about, and the sentinels didn't even know the kid was in town... that alone makes him the most suspicious person among those twenty thousand." I raise an eyebrow and close my eyes, the sun gets stronger even though it's getting late into the evening, it's starting to hurt to use my powers. Ren walks through his portal though I barely notice since I'm focusing almost completely on the kids, and that one in particular. I don't really notice anything about him, he's fighting barehanded but that hasn't stopped him yet, he's just letting number seventy one kill them "hey kid." He hesitates and takes a cut along the arm, after looking at it for a second he sighs "what?" I smile at the annoyance in his voice, it's not bad, so it seems that he has good control of his emotions "what's your name?" He dodges a few more times and punches the beast that cut him in the eye, it screams out and seventy one kills it before it retaliates "my name is Vallen, Nicta Vallen. Remember it dammit, I got hurt because of you." He moves onto the next enemy... Vallen huh, I wonder if it's the same Vallen as Salem Vallen, the greatest warrior. It's not that he was strong, but at the last great battle between the human and beasts, known as the bloody war, he was the last man in his brigade, when a rockfall caused his team to be trapped he alone stood against the beasts that were chasing them, three thousand deaths later he finally died, even in death he refused to kneel though, and the beasts were so afraid of him no one realized he was dead until he fell over. "Nice to meet you Nicta, my name is Celeste Sol, I am the rising sun maiden." His eyes widen and he turns around, looking straight at me, my own eyes widen, he's less than twenty there's no way he could've had the power to find me here. "I guess I should show off so that I'll be chosen huh?" I raise an eyebrow and debate my next question "why do you want to be my student?" He shrugs and leans down, a beast jumps right over him and seventy one cuts it down. "I have to make a point." I raise an eyebrow and try to figure that out "is your father Salem-"

"That man is no father to me, don't even say his name!" Seventy one jumps back from him and he turns back around, this time she follows his eyes, but unlike him, or maybe he can't either, she can't see me. I would've liked to continue our Conversation but Ren opens a portal and his kids stream out behind him, it snaps shut after the last one and he turns to me "we've gotta go, get your kids gathered." I raise an eyebrow and a light shoots Into the sky, that'll take it out of me but the kids come running, Nicta stays back and keeps the beasts down, he borrowed a sword and has killed two already, split ones head open and cut another's neck, "the kids good, why hasn't he killed any other beasts though? He's been fighting for a while but I don't see any other enemies with split skills or throats." If he'd been watching he'd have noticed that he's the perfect bait, but he had eyes for the kids he was proctoring. Their almost here, and from the rolling dunes I can see a cloud of sand, that isn't a storm "tell me something Celie, how long will you stay alone?" We've has this argument before, and we'll have it until... never again "if I go fuck that kid down there will you shut up about? No, because you'd think he isn't right for me, that's what it's always been, between you and our master I don't think I can love a person without looking at their faults. Shall we continue with this conversation now?" I turn after a moment and notice he's not paying any attention to me, I turn back to find Nicta has driven himself into the beasts, and he's slaughtering them, most of the ones here are low level but there are a lot, so if you aren't careful you'll get surrounded, but it seems that's the one thing he isn't afraid of, he is after all twisting and turning every which way. "What are you doing?" He twitches and get cut along his side, and suddenly I notice that his arm isn't bleeding anymore, there's still a wound but it's like the blood has dried up "I'm showing off, if I kill every beast here, including those in that horde, you'll have to take me as your student, then I can start on my path." What path you crazy child? I shake my head, but as I watch I'm amazed more and more, he's not using much power in his swings, but that's why he's able to stand strong against them, using their own force against them he's managed to Jill almost thirty with only one woundh
