The artefact-cursed Crow

Ashur's head ached between the blight's whisper and its burn. He knew from Tarquin's worried glances how bad it looked, the blackened veins and red eyes, but there was nothing he could do about that. He continued to refuse Tarquin's urging to go to the Wardens because he knew their Joining was not a sure thing, and he was needed here.

He shielded himself against the Venatori spells, fighting back with fingers of ice that clawed the air as they sailed towards the Venatori. He caught movement out of the corner of his eye as the Venatori launched another gout of flame at him. He blocked the flame with his shield, bringing his hands up to launch ice at both the mage and the would be assassin.

The Venatori assassin's forehead sprouted feathers before they could even bring their blade down to attack him. With that threat contained he threw his strength fully at the Venatori mage, hitting them with such a blast of ice they momentarily froze. A flask of something flew through the air and hit them. Electric current broke from the glass and shattered the frozen body.

Ashur straightened then said to the nearby form in the shadows, "I had that handled."
