Did you think me Defeated?!
William had his Dagger drawn he stood ready to make a move, That readiness however vanished as he was swiped aside like chaff in the wind. The Golem had not taken a fancy to William's sword in it's back and had responded with it's tree trunk of an arm. William flew through the air relatively helpless, he landed in a small bush which unfortunately had plenty of sharp edges for him to stick himself on the landing was not pleasant either it was abrupt and sudden he could already tell it would be the cause of a new bruise on his back. William lay in the bush he did not feel like moving and his mind had one thought. Am I cut out for this?
William hated to admit it but he had never been a very good mercenary he was not renowned for great skill or captures that he had made he just usually only made enough to scrape by. And only barely at that. He also was not a good blacksmith despite his Father's expert instruction. These thoughts ate at William, he felt like maybe all he was really good for was taking really bad beatings. Which is all he had done since he joined here. All these thoughts besieged William's mind as he lay in that bush, He always wanted to be strong he wanted to be a good fighter he wanted to be a good blacksmith too. But one thing for sure he wanted to be good at something and mercenary was what always called to him there had to be a reason right? He thought of all his past bounties he could only cringe as most of them were failures it seemed, but now he was a member of a guild The Phoenixes.
Now the Ascended Phoenixes were good they got stuff done and he had never been happier to be a part of something. But even with this thought William felt like giving up, how could he fight something like that? He finally looked up and saw the great Golem it was just as terrifying as every other time he had looked at it. Then he saw the other Golem beating upon Cruze, and realized Durzol was still inside the one he had planted his weapon in.
It was then in that moment that William realized what he had been doing wrong... He had been thinking of all bad things everything that would tell him he could not. It was just the kind of thoughts that Pirel would thrive on the thoughts he would want us to have. Also this was not about himself this was about the guild this was for a greater cause this was for the safety of others and his teammates. William stood up he realized that pain was to be a part of this process. If the suffering of a few can stop the suffering of many then I will suffer. William latched upon that thought and said it over and over again in his mind he thought of his father who had died his mother who he loved so dearly of those he had helped and those who would even yet need the help of the Phoenixes. William clenched his fist now that was a cause worth fighting for. "If my suffering will stop the suffering of others then I will suffer." William had only barely muttered those words so he could hear himself say them but it was enough. He could feel purpose light up inside him like a torch with to much pitch it burst upon him and he felt renewed vigor and power. William looked straight at the Golem and taking a deep breath yelled with all his might "SUFFER WITH ME!"
William ran straight at the creature he spotted a sword on the ground and scooped it up along his sprint he grabbed the hilt of the weapon got a good grip and threw it like a simple throwing knife straight at the center of the creature. William took the few more steps to close the gap between himself and the creature and leaped while pulling out his dagger. He inserted the blade firmly into the creature and pulled himself up putting his foot on the hilt of his weapon. He then jumped and went straight for his blade he grabbed the handle and used his weight to pull it out. There was a satisfying noise as it scraped it's way put and William fell to the ground did a quick roll and got to his feet as quick as he could to see it's reaction.
