Noctisardor Bypass the last few drops from the holy grail

Rolled a [9 - almost decent] defense, [18 - good] attack.

The hysteria of women.

Glaukos was reminded why Germanicus had forbade any attachments to them; Heda came and with her shrieking she was like a vulture, pecking at him and trying to separate the warring bodies. Now was not the time. Glaukos would not strike her but he snarled as he rounded again upon the attacker, leveling a dangerous look upon the woman as he tried to defend against Anselm's continued attacks.

He did not manage to deflect much. His body took the brunt of the attacks, the bites, the tears, and Glaukos had to endure while keeping himself mindful of Heda, as she was now a possible target for this stranger and Glaukos had to protect her.

That was what this entire mess had been about. Protect the women, protect the unborn.

He roared and slammed in to the silver stranger, ignoring the pain, using his own heft to push a weight advantage. Glaukos was powerful and he had spent many days learning to restrain himself; now, seeing the stranger wasn't going to relent, he would use every bit of power and malice to make this fight - and this man - stop.
