Surrounded now, the heroes back up with weapons drawn. They were tired, having fought Zali's hordes only moments ago before the behemoth cobra presented itself with the dark mage atop its head. There was no plan B, no turning back now. To rid the world of this genocidal canine was their quest and if they fell here who knows what will befall the world. Kuroku muttered something in her native language under her breath, her hands gripped her sword and took a deep breath as blue light threatened to burst from the sheath. Ross' sword was already drawn, its green energies and wisps danced around him and the group as they shifted closer, seemingly energizing his comrades. Princess Azalea steeled herself. Her journey away from her kingdom had turned her from a princess who knew only comforts and boredom to not only a courageous adventurer but a white mage to be reckoned with. She holds her staff up, healing and protection magic surrounding her friends - everything she's got she was not giving for this final battle. Alexei held his shield high and shifted with the seemingly endless coils of the massive snake that surrounded them, his broadsword drawn and ready to hack and slash at the beast. He was no stranger to monsters, but this was something else entirely - still, the paladin would do his very best to make sure they all survive this. Rain was no different - his staff held back and ready to protect his friends and his princess from harm, his sword drawn to do the same. It was supposedly blessed - hopefully it will show its power now and become more than just a sharp edge.
