> In the moment between moments you draw your short blade, as beautiful as it is deadly, made of the rarest materials and holding within it more magic than the average mortal sorceror casts in a year.
> A single upward slice cuts the air before you apart, and you step into the pocket of vacuum created. The pocket snaps shut around you moments later, but the attack's brunt has already passed. The flames it left behind die down, licking greedily at your exposed skin, but they singe not so much as a single hair as the currents of your celestial essence turn them aside as a warrior might turn aside an unruly child.
> "Huh?" [frustratedcurious]
> The front of burning air washes over the Garda which, despite its nature, roars in pain. Instead of dissipating, however, the flames pull together into a humanoid form formed of pearlescent reds and whites, its crown burning so hot that the cascade of heat from its head forms a white mane. Its voice is like that of the Garda - the roaring of a furnace, but bearing a certain...feminine quality about it.
> "Wot's this?" [threatpush] "En't keen on mindin' one's business, uh?"
> The figure advances, its flames stabilizing further still until you can make out its sneering face. Its steps past the Garda, causing the vast bird to visibly flinch.
> "Ye'd better piss off, mate, while it's still fun'n'games, uh?" [startfightstartfight]
