of the hunter. Her other arm wraps around Nyx's waist, holding onto her while keeping the shield to cover mostly the hunter.
She can't protect the bird, though, her gaze landing on the torn wing as they start to plummet. "Ah, shit!" Alcides keeps her arm wrapped around Nyx, her shield vanishing as-

Alcides finds herself brushing off Nyx' reaction, rolling her eyes as she looks the other way. It's too damn quiet, she doesn't like it. All of her senses are on fire, everything in this place setting off the alarm bells in her mind.

god, if you knew that was gonna happen you should've prepared me. I'm wearing heavy armor." She mutters, looking around her to survey their surroundings.
Hell. She's in hell. She's starting to think maybe backup would've been preferable. "Okay...Okay. God this place is massive, where do we start?"

She yelps as they fall through the rift, grasping onto Nyx and letting all her inhibitions go in favor of keeping the hunter safe. She's about to unfurl her wings when the bird catches them midair, safely keeping them from splattering on the ground of hell. "Oh my -

Alcides grimaces at the scent spreading through the room, gagging discreetly and covering her nose and mouth. "Jesus." She mutters, glaring at the rift like it insulted her mother.

more paladins here, with the risk of them hurting Nyx. “We need to identify how it occurred in order to make the sealing easier. That would mean we have to go in…” Alcides looks at Nyx, straightening up and conjuring her hammer in her hand. “So let’s go to hell together, I guess?”

“Ah.” Of course its name isn’t Bacon. She’s not sure why she believed it. Alcides holds her arm out to let the bird perch on a gauntlet that appears out of light, scratching it lightly with her other hand. “Okay, I’ll think of something.”

Alcides sighs, wanting to correct her that it's not about being tainted, but she's not sure it'd be the truth. There's expectations of her, she doesn't know what'll happen if she gets involved with someone like Nyx... As if Nyx would even want that.

She quips in return, adjusting her armor and shrugging a little as Nyx keeps talking. “I know you. Why would I do such a thing? I don’t just kill indiscriminately. Besides what good would it be if we blasted a rift between hell and earth into an even bigger hole? If that solved it, you would’ve-

“Like I don’t live with someone who delights in seeing things burn.” She snorts, shaking her head as she walks around and looks at the pushed aside pews. She may be a paladin but there’s no real affection for a place like this. A church corrupted by something so far from holy. It’s a shame, to—

Environment tries to fuck with her. That’s to be expected, from a place like this. She can tell that whatever is down under that church, doesn’t want a paladin stepping into its territory.
But this paladin can’t be stopped. Alcides raises a fist, knocking on the thick wooden door of the church.
