You know what?

No.

I am not going to let someone’s sheer soul leeching rape culture ruin a character that I have put so much fucking effort and hard work into making more fleshed out than Derek Landy. 

I am rebooting Baron and giving him a fresh start.

'Star Wars' or 'Lord of the Rings?'

“Lord of the rings”

[baron-vengxous-archived]

The Irish weather, while not this deep or extreme, still had snow that Barn was well used to. His snow was more a slippery frozen slush that made for good terrain to train and fight on. This? Knee deep and more a wind packed hindrance? This he was not used to. It was only the well trained muscle and body weight that allowed him to keep his footing when every step sunk to just below the lip of his boots.

But, this was no longer a fight to test the waters of their opponent, this was to outmatch and defeat. And, so far, for a mortal Baron was impressed. If his following permitted the acceptance of mortals to their goals on joining the church, let alone to follow Mevolent’s path to bring the True God’s home, he’d have tried to have this man amid his troops. Wasn’t often a Mortal had his attention in battle.

Sabre snapping up to block and the General sliding back a few feet as it took the hun’s impact, and Baron was blinking at the tracks in the snow of the other moving him with the sheer force of a charging swing. 

“Quite impressive, Mr Yu” Came a low rumble before Baron was stepping out and returning a savage swing himself with the intent of driving the other back, the rapid fire clanging of sword on sabre like thunder in the clearing.

Closed with Waarlord

Snow was hard to fight in for someone not used to it. Shan-yu had been living and fighting in the snow-covered mountains his whole life, and it was certainly an advantage he had over the golden-eyed stranger…

But that didn’t keep him from feeling the sudden sting of a gash across his shoulder. The Hun darted back, at least relieved that it didn’t seem to be a gushing sort of wound. it was superficial if anything… but that once again led him to believe that this BASTARD was TOYING with him.

Shan-yu ROARED and CHARGED towards the other swordsman, bringing the sword around in a vicious swing that was meant to DECAPITATE.

[baron-vengxous-archived]

"Yes, far too cold for the warmblooded folk like myself to find peaceful. Snow melts and ” Baron smirked back as his gesture got what he wanted. A proper fight. He wanted fast pace, rapidfire clanging of steel on steal echoing, and nothing but reflexes to keep you out of a sharp kiss of a blade. This was Baron’s kind of tempo.

Diving to the side and rolling away from the shove and he was avoiding that downward strike to snap his sabre up, parrying it to the side as he found his feet. Snow, while a bitch to fight it, was managable. He just needed to make sure he wasn’t the one who found a snow drift first if there were any up here. 

A second flick of his sabre, and he was opening a little slash of red on the others shoulder, sabre tracing along the snow to leave it flecked red. First blood to the mage.

Closed with Waarlord

.And that look of surprise quickly turned to disbelief and anger, evidenced by the narrowing of eyes and the clenching of teeth.

A rap on the back of the hand?? That was something the Hun’s father did to him during sword training when he was young! This BARON was treating him like no more than a CHILD!

“You will find that this place is VERY inhospitable, BARON.” he snarled. 

He lunged forward, ready to shove the silver-haired man back and follow through with a swift strike downward across his chest. Keeping an opponent unbalanced was something even he knew to do. He WOULD see this outsider’s blood melting the snow before he went on his way.

[baron-vengxous-archived]

But don’t worry, Shan-Yu would learn that quite swiftly. Ambidextrous, swift, and already watching Shan-Yu for indications of each attack and Baron was batting the sweep away from him with another clang of steel. “Oh, so this is not a nice place for a scenic holiday then? And hear I thought the locals were very hospitable” he said flatly, intent to match blows while he grew use to idle banter to catalog the other’s movements.

“A pleasure, Shan-yu, you may call me Baron” came the response, stepping out of a swing to rap the other on the back of the wrist with the flat of the sabre as he did so. He was probably going to regret that later on, but that look of surprise was worth the taunt, earning Shan-Yu a grin.

Closed with Waarlord

Unfortunately, Shan-Yu WAS mortal, and he had no way of knowing at present that the man he was about to engage was a mage already over 100 years old. Not that it would have made much difference to the Hun. He’d kill this general either way.

“Not always. Only when they are so clearly not from this area,” he shot back.

His sword dipped to block the strike to his leg with a clash of steel, and the man turned to sweep the other’s blade away from him. It was something of an unusual fighting style that this general was using, but he WAS an outsider, likely from the West. 

“Shan-Yu,” he said, “Though whether or not you’re a “worthy opponent” remains to be seen, General.”

[baron-vengxous-archived]

He wasn’t sure what he had said to cause the other to laugh but he was ready to throw the smile into the snow. What made him confident? Well, the fact that this was a mere mortal and with an eye condition like that, they had something very wrong with them.

“Probably because your last General was not me thus I pity the poor man. Do you always jump weary travelers in the snow? That might have a factor in your victory” He said, watching the other and bouncing slowly on his toes to warm his leg muscles up for the battle to begin. He planned to draw first blood.

A swordsman’s honour was not to strike from behind, even if the other lacked this tactic, Baron planned to draw this out and enjoy this. He hadn’t had a good fight in a while.

“So, my copper eyed friend, do I have a name to remember as a worthy opponent?” He asked, fainting a flick at the males right leg.

Closed with Waarlord

Shan-Yu growled as the man ducked under the blade with surprising skill, and wheeled the horse around to prepare for another charge… until the man’s words caught his attention.

A General? Just like that, a cruel grin lit up the warlord’s face. He let out a laugh as he smoothly dismounted and sent his horse into the safety of the nearby trees. He shed his hooded coat and rolled his shoulders, tightening his grip on his sword as he slowly moved towards the other.

“The last general I faced had an IMPERIAL ARMY behind him, and STILL he was defeated. I’m curious to see what makes you so confident, outsider.”

[baron-vengxous-archived]

“Yes, well, trudging through shin deep snow is not the most exciting thing on my bucketlist of hyperthermia nor is dying in the snow” he glared, his horse galloping back for the rise at a swat of his sabre hilt as Baron dived to the side, throwing his caribou hide up at the other so the swinging blade didn’t follow him and taking a step out of range.

“Dismount if you wish to engage me in combat. A general I may be, but it would be a shame to kill such a fine horse due to its riders dishonour not to engage a man on foot” Baron barked at the other, the sabre held ready at his side. If this man thought he could take the general down, he’d be mistaken. Baron planned to kill the mortal without a flash of magic. And he’d take his horse too just to rub salt in the wound of a dying man.

Closed with Waarlord

Well. Judging from the language he was using, it would seem this man wasn’t HOPELESSLY lost, but THAT didn’t bode well either. He’s here armored, alone, and with what appeared to be a blade on his hip? The only logical explanation in Shan-Yu’s mind was a foreign scout.

And where there was one, there would be others. 

“You should have stayed in your own land, outsider,” he growled in rough Chinese. As if sensing his rider’s intentions, the horse snorted and pawed at the snow as Shan-Yu drew the sword from it’s sheath on his back.

“I’ll see to it that you never leave these mountains alive.” With a ROAR, the man charged forward, sword held low to cut this stranger down.

[baron-vengxous-archived]

Baron’s horse, an Anglo-Arabian, while far more muscled than that of those around it back home, was indeed not meant for the snow or mountains but for charging along the flat terrain in battle or gaining on a poor fool who thought to outrun him. With Baron taking the lead, he was making progress if he kept his mindset on calling it physical training, and soon the clearing came into view to lead the horse into the bunker down for the night. But they were not alone.

That was a big horse. A vanner or draught horse at the very least from the roman nose and feathering at its hooves. And the inconvenience of a language not the chinese he was expecting. Bugger.

“Good afternoon. I am afraid I cannot understand you. I speak English, Russian, Welsh and Chinese. Do you speak any of them?” he returned in Chinese, standing still and keeping his horse ready to rap on the rump to send it darting a few leagues to the rise if this went physical. If this was a bandit out for his horse or belongings, they’d find themselves at the kiss of a sabre. “

Closed with Waarlord

Shan-Yu’s dark eyes narrowed as he watched the stranger make his way through the snow-filled pass. Unlike the horse the other was leading, his horse was stockier in the legs, sturdier, bred for handling the snow and rocks of the mountainous regions.

This one was a stranger, that much he could tell by the unusual clothing and armor. Had Shan-Yu been in a hunting party, he would have simply had one of his archers take the stranger out. But it was only one man, and the Hun intended to find out exactly who he was. A lone man travelling through these mountains was hardly a usual occurrence.

He spurred his horse along the high path that ran parallel to the stranger’s before he cut lower, bringing the steed to a stop in the clearing the man would enter. From beneath the heavily furred hood, his eyes narrowed at the other as he emerged over the rise.

“Don’t move.” he called, his deep voice carrying easily through the cold air. “And tell me what exactly you’re doing here, outsider.”

[baron-vengxous-archived]

A sharp snarl at the flash of the knife and Baron was throwing Nefarian down to the ground as he hurriedly shrugged his coat and belt off because he wasn’t sure what game Nefarian was playing at, but upon Baron’s death he had already named a sucessor and it was not Nefarian.

Belt pulled taut around his upper arm to buy him a few more minutes and what eh wouldn’t give for elemental magic to cauterise the wound as he pushed his soon to be ruined suit jacket against the wound.

“You little snake” Oh, he enjoyed pain and knives tracing his skin, but this was a low blow even for Nefarian.
