Epiphany
Proverbs 17:9
Aymeline
The Wallmaidens were ferocious and the Giant staggered as three attacked her from beneath. Though their feeble claws glanced off of her Light-enchanted mail, several tips managed to slip in and puncture dense musculature to draw blood. A reminder that simply charging blindly into the enemy had its limits.
Aymeline took advantage of their proximity to sweep one massive arm around the three monsters and promptly ground their bodies into the ruined walls of the crumbling building, even as she squeezed tightly with her other arm. Extensive physical training allowed her to lift twice her body weight, which meant she could exert a ton's worth of crushing force. And moments later, she dropped their broken bodies to the ground.
One hand swept back and drew the slender jade-steel rode from her belt. With the press of a button, the White Warcry unfolded from its storage shape, branching out into its original massive warhammer configuration. And as the other Guardians and their allies fought off their own attackers and closed ranks with her, she pointed ahead.
"They're down there!" Aymeline said, sensing Pat and Pryonn's presence through her Soul Tie. As could every other ally who'd participated in her bonding ritual. "Hurry!"
Noting the crumbling staircases, though, the Giant opted to wait for Maria in particular to rejoin the team. Dropping to one knee, Aymeline reached out one hand and gently touched the other Guardian's shoulder. With a thought, she dropped the gates she kept around the Light within. She sent it thundering into the other woman, imbuing her and reviving her with all she'd just spent and perhaps a bit more. With a friendly smile, the Giant nodded once at the respected, fierce fellow warrior, then gestured her on as she turned back at the sound of an unfamiliar voice.
A Sylvari! Aymeline had never seen one before, but she'd heard of the race. Her friendly smile grew at the welcome words. "The fight continues below. Follow the others and I'll try the staircase you don't. Just in case."
And then the Giant moved to try one of the staircases down, hoping feverishly her weight didn't collapse the whole structure beneath her.
