He heard his brother's words, the warning echoed through his entire body. He knew about the blight and darkspawn. He had no intention of letting any of their blood get inside his own. That would most likely cause so many issues for his family. Would they find a grey warden in time for him to be saved? Julian shrugged off the thought. His confidence gripped him and just thought to himself that he just wasn't going to let them touch him.
His shadow-like blade was at the ready. Kill them before they reach Tomas. That was his goal. Julian darted...glided through the shadows inch by inch. Almost seemed like he was teleporting from side to side. A group of three darkspawn came charging down the hill. Easy enough Julian thought. As he dashed through the shadows, he appeared to the side of the closest creature. His blade went straight into the back without issue. With one clean yank, Julian then slashed a horizontal strike to quickly behead the fowl-blighted creature. Then Julian was gone, once again using the shadows to his advantage. Julian appeared toward the next one, out from darkspawn's shadow. Julian towered onto the darkspawn's back and gave a few stabs in the back until it stopped moving. A bit barbaric but the nasty-looking thing kept shouting and moving. He needed it not to move. Julian looked up to see the third darkspawn slowed down and began charging at him. Without thinking, Julian took his free hand and took a spare dagger, and flung it at the darkspawn's head. The lifeless body fell down without a fight. 3 down. Julian took a breath to check his surroundings and could see more groups of dark spawn flooding down the hill. He noticed a few pass him while he was trying to take care of the three that were closest to him. [color=#c10300]"Fuck....Tomas...." [/color]
Julian shouted with worry. He wasn't using much of his magic, but very short burst for the teleportation. He still had plenty for the remaining journey but if they were attacked again well that could be a bit of a problem. Julian closed his eyes and again he felt the shadows call him. Dancing around from shadow to shadow, he appeared behind Tomas. Aligning his back with his. [color=#c10300]"Right....this shall be fine...we can do this....just hit them before they hit you...ya?" [/color]
Julian spoke softly to his brother, he took a stance and placed his shadow blade into the ground. [color=#c10300]"Alright...this should help a bit with most of them I'll be open briefly..."[/color] Julian spoke. He took his hands and began to form energy from his hand. The combined magic of air and water swirled around. It wasn't going to be strong as he was still in the process of learning this talent. He had mastered the shadow and light magic and only began working on his techniques with the other elements. For a brief second, Julian wince with a bit of a struggle. The energy staggering as if it was going to fail outright. Grunting he pushed further and soon the storm-like ball crackled. He launched it into the air and small lightning strikes appeared on the ground as if a storm cloud appeared. It wouldn't last and it wouldn't kill any of them but it gave Julian and Tomas enough time to get prepared for stragglers. Shaking his head he grabbed the sword once more and prepared for the worst. He had one idea up his sleeve. But he needs the group of darkspawn to get closer. Surrounded them even. He would hate to use it in front of his brother but being surrounded by a small battalion of dark spawn makes it hard not to use. His idea was to enhance his umbramancy with blood magic. It's risky but he needed to keep his brother safe. He couldn't let one slip passed him. As he stood there watching the lightning strikes hit the dark spawn and the ground, he gripped the shadow blade with his hand tighter.
As he stood his ground, the darkspawn charged at Julian. From his viewpoint, it was easily telegraphed moved. He simply step aside and went for a killing blow. Julian found himself doing this frequently. But soon they stopped charging. There was a silence in the air. With a few looks around, he noticed the remaining forces had surrounded both his brother and himself. If he grinned, it might give away his plan that they fell right into his trap.[color=#c10300] "Isn't this fun Tomas. We may have found ourselves a bit of a snag though...."[/color] Julian spoke calmly but his face showed signs of worry. He wanted the darkspawn to feel like they had them in their clutches.
