The Blue Dove & The Black Raven...

The Barbed Warrior suddenly was struck by the head of a halberd the heavy blade batting his thin form to the side, before you stood Horace as he offered you a hand up, "Horace why are you..." he checked your wounds gesturing for you to 'Drink', "Right..." taking your Estus Flask you took two large gulps the pain from your wounds quickly going away, Horace slapped your shoulder twice giving you a nod, "If you are here where is Anri?" Horace pointed back over to the middle of the Open hall, where Anri was fighting off the Barbed Knight. Thanking Horace you picked you blade and shield off of the ground, running towards Anri who was putting up an impressive fight, you backed he away "Anri... stay back..." she heaved heavily her shallow breaths barely allowing her to speaks "Ashen One, are you sure you can take him?" she said in a worried tone, you looked at her giving her a reassuring nod, "He is mine" you said brandishing your icy blade, you approached the knight who waited for you ready to fight "Rosaria is safe, and I wont let you & your 'Fingers' lock her up in that chamber" the Knight seemed angered by this his stance becoming much more aggressive, he charged at you again this time keeping your guard up, the knight went to strike his blade being pushed away by a perfectly timed parry followed up by a powerful riposte, your cold blade running right through his paper thin armour, a spray of blood flew from the Warriors visor, as you kicked him from your blade and struck him down.

His body fell down to the watery ground, the Shallow water becoming red with his blood and your wounds closing as a splash of Estus went down your throat "I will protect my friends no mater what..." you thought sheathing your icy blade.
