- he get's his body in a ready stance, prepared to counter any incoming attack

"Have we killed one of your lovers or somthin', kiddo?"

- the tall figure speaks up disrupting the catious silence

"I hope not, ..."

- he loosens up a bit to show sincerety of his following words

"You could have done things differently, even in this crazy situation, ... "

 - he sways his spear around a bit

" ... yet you chose torture, ... "

- his voice turns from quiet relaxed to sereiously resenting

" ... putting them trough unnecessary misery and despair."

"Heh, I just can't help it. Their screams are just so adorable

 - he points the spear towards the tall guy

"I'm already a fucking murderer, ... "

" ... I don't mind adding a few more on my list ... "

 - he moves it slightly to the left, pointing it at the smaller one, holding the bow

They will easily overpower me If I fight them head on ... and them working together.

 - he looks around only to find one last contestant across the lonely pond stabbing a defenseless body over and over again

" ... especially those who deserve it!"

 - with those words he storms without hesitation directly at them

"What a bold speech!"

- the tall dagger user follows his example stepping in a right bound curve in his way of getting closer to the archer

"Too bad that you won't be able to talk when I am done with you!"

 - he takes a large swing to keep his opponent at range, still sprinting further

If this will be chaos ...

 - in order to evade, the tall fighter needs to take a large step away, leaving enough room for Ethan to speed in the direction of another incoming arrow

 ... then please for real!!!

 - he thinks while easily deflecting the deadly flying weapon

"Shit!"

 - says the archer, while sprinting away from the incoming, self proclaimed murderer,

 - one after another, the three run in a line getting slightly more distance between each one of them 

 - as the archers pursuer, Ethan leads him right and left, exactly in the direction he wants him to run

It was a risky move ...

- like out of a comic show they can only stay that way

 ... but this might work 

- occasionaly the archer fires an arrow just to be deflected by the trustworthy golden shield

- after crossing by the pond he unexpectedly stops amidst the biggest accumulation of ruin stones, with his two targets doing the same

This place should be good enough!

 - he turns around to await the imminent dagger attack

"Out of breath already?" - he announces himself stepping closer and closer

 - using this chance the archer fires a direct shot at Ethans open back, just for him to step enough to the right letting the arrow fly straight at his teammate

"Don't shoot at me you jerk ...!" - he says while barely evading 

 - too unfocused for him to notice Ethan taking a large swing at him, sending him crashing into one of the few still standing pillars

- with this success he quickly looks at the archer again, seeing an incoming shiny arrowtip, he was prepared for

*Activating skill: basic Strengthburst*

- he lowers his stance, using the short surge of immense power to flip the loose stone he is standing on up, blocking the arrow

"You look like you need help!"

- says the third of the pack, finished with his buisness, coming to aid them with thier fight

- stepping closer and closer he prepares to swing his dark shiny sword at Ethan

Now I just have to put you right where I want to!
