Elliott's centuries of experience combined with his incredible stamina proving a difficult combination for the paladin. As the fight became protracted the Alana began to collect wounds. Though Elliott suffered increased damage from her holy weapon he regenerated. Alana felt the sweat dripping down her face burning her eyes. She pushed on despite the pain but she started to doubt her ability to win. Alana regretted only her failure to triumph today. She remained with her place in the afterlife secure.
Elliott smiled at the sight of the woman fighting to keep up with him. She breathing grew heavy as Elliott decided to forego finesse. He slashed at her over and over leaving her blocking with her remaining strength. Elliott dropped sword seizing her hands pulling them apart causing her to drop her sword. Throwing her in the air with an audible thud as she hit the ground. Laughing at his struggling opponent saying, "Now is where the real fun begins."
Alana scowled responding, "You may kill me but eventually the church of fiery light will end your evil." She grabbed another dagger throwing it at Elliott who easily batted it away. He leapt atop her pushing off the cowl exposing her neck.
Elliott commented, "Oh, killing you is far from my mind. You will be a useful tool in ousting your comrades." His teeth pierced her neck draining blood until Alana passed out a tear streaming down her cheek. Elliott remaining wounds healed quickly with the infusion of her blood.
