Commander Tangent

329### Heyo guys

Ah, I know that feeling. But you will see them again at least you seem to be doing better than me

Why is that twi ? what has you down

I guess I should say sad, lonely, and worthless due to recent weeks events

Honestly, I feel sad and kinda worthless right now

Lunar dug his talons even deeper before ripping them out. The centaur was likely blind now, but still had his other senses to help him. He felt bad for the other creature. He had taken the gift of sight from him. But to defeat such a large opponent, he had to disable him. He kicked off and got some distance from his enemy, watching his movements.

Well, for exciting, I had my first kiss in a movie theater, so that's awesome XD But my local theater played the original Star Wars films on the big screen in a giant event, and when the opening text started appearing, the whole audience started to cheer :3

Lunar felt the hit hard. He fell to the ground, but quickly got up. His side was throbbing from were he got hit at. With a grimice, he looked up at the centaur. He looked ready for CQC combat, but was not defending his neck area very well. But he was ready for Lunar, so it looked like he would have to use everything he had to his advantage, including his talons. They could shred an unweary opponent, but he had to get very close to do it, something he really did not like. With a quick movement, he lunged at the centaur and jabbed his halberd at his throat, and then extended his talons and aimed for the opponents eyes. If this didnt work.... it was gonna hurt..

Lunar looked at the Centaur. He was wounded, but he was also angry. But he seemed disabled at the moment as he had damaged his sword. Now was the time to move in. Lunar hefted his halberd and jumped up at the centaur, this time trying to go over his head to behind him, and aiming for the bare of his anthromorphic back. He hoped this would give him another breif moment to get a follow up attack.

Now looked like the good time to strike. The bait had brought the centaurs right into the kill zone. It was likely that they would find themselves on the losing end of this battle. Lunar was not one to kill, but he knew the centaurs would not surrender, and would likely not listen to reason. Sadly, they might have to be eliminated. He only hoped that after their deaths that maybe they could find peace from their twisted lives. He hefted his halberd and flung silently up into the air. With a swift dive he went right for the closest centaur to him that was following the bait. He aimed just below his ribs, were vital organs were not protected by bone.

1 !....oh wait...

Lunar was sitting perfectly still. He hadclosed out his surroundings, and was not focused on his inner most thoughts and emotions. It was peaceful, and tranquil. So much so ,he swore he could feel the movement of the sun and the moon, and the slightest of sounds in the desert. He was meditating. It seemed that the spirits had long vacated this area, but yet he felt that there had once been a presence here. It would be many minutes until Lunar opened one of his eyes, and looked to the rest of the group, wondering what they were up too.

Lunar simply walked away from Caliber. He felt bad, the little guy was going to get himself hurt. But none the less, a battle was approaching and he could not let his mind wonder on such topics. He sat down away from the group, and assumed his meditative position. He closed his eyes and let his mind drift in the void. Perhaps the spirits of this area had something to tell him. He was calm and relaxed.

@, Lunar frowned a bit at Caliber, " Your abilities may be great, but you severely underestimate out enemy and their training. They are likely different from the Centaurs of your day. In any case, stick to the plan, and watch their formations carefully, we don't need our swordsman getting surrounded. " Lunar said. The pony seemed to think highly of himself, but he was arrogant and his mind seemed to exaggerate things. He hoped he could be taught how a true warrior, a true swordsman, would approach a battle later. " And I have seen many times, the wolf pack take down a Chimera, and also a manticore. They simply attack it were it is weak while the stronger wolves act as a distraction. In the north you see wolves take on just about anything" he said, countering his point.

@@Reaver, PMD are my favorite pokemon games :3 Especially Explorers of sky, I loved that one the best X3 this new one seems awesome !

"No Caliber, I simply value your life and feel your strategy may endanger your ability to live it" Lunar said, " Ponies are just as capable as anyone else. Do you know why wolves hunt in packs caliber ? Why they are so effective. Because they are strong individually, but when all their abilities are thrown together, the pack is an unstoppable force that bears down on their prey. We must be the same. You will have your fight, but we need an opening advantage, and flanking them and breaking their formation will give us much needed advantage over a large force. It will likely invalidate what little training they have as well, when the formation breaks." Lunar said to Caliber calmly.

@@Unicorncob,@, "You are both not as strong as a centaur. If you try to sidestep Caliber, the one next to him will simply close in. They will surround you, and destroy you. They will also more than likely seee through such a tactic, it is not often a lone swordsman will attack alone.IF we attack from the sides, they will not expect it and be vulnerable. It will also be easier to break their formation as a group and prevent a stampede, as well as lower moral of the enemy. From there we can work out way with the groups as they route and separate" Lunar explained in more detail," We could also rig traps. Rock falls and small dust clouds" Lunar pointed out at the craggy terrain, " We can take advantage also by using the land we stand on.

@, "It will only throw your life away Caliber, think ! IT's what you master aught you is it not ? That your mind is your greatest weapon" Lunar scolded slightly, then looked at the others, " Treat this like a calvary charge, from the front it will be difficult to face them. They will be most vulnerable from the sides. If we flank them we can likely get them to break formation and avoid a stampede. If we cause enough damage quick enough we may even cause them to route" Lunar suggested to the group.

@@Chip Circuit, Lunar nodded and smiled. "Perhapse later then" he said, " A calm pony like you must have interesting things to say, and I would love to listen" he smiled and lept back up, flying low until he was away from Radiant's position and flew straight up, minimizing visibility time. Soon he was back up in the cloud layer, flying back towards the group. He hoped they would consider the best way to fight centaurs, it seemed like you would fight them like Calvary, attacking from the side and keep moving. His halberd would be useful as long as they didn't have a counter weapon on them. Soon the group was back in sight and he made another rapid decent, back towards the ground. With a whoosh he landed near them, standing tall and looking around. " So, what is our plan of attack ?" He asked, looking at Strider and the others.

@@Reaver, Lunar nodded to him. He had been quiet for some time, mulling over the situation. It was complicated, and it seemed like they all might be in some major trouble if things went south.Not the first time the nomad had been in a situation such as this one. He smiled. "I will inform him at once. Just dont break my tea pot" he said calmly, standing up," and beware, centaurs are likely to stampede if there is a large amount of them in reaction to aggression. We would be in big trouble if we were caught on the opposing end of that" Lunar said. He spread his wings and lept into the air, flying towards Radiant's last known position. As he flew, he cheked his halberd. The weapon would be his greatest ally if he ran into trouble. As he approached the city, he started to use the clouds as cover, careful not to tangle himself into them. Radiant should be just outside the city, and soon enough, he located him. IT would be difficult to not draw attention from the bandits. Once he was over him, He dove backwards, going at the ground at an accelerating speed. This would hopefully make him hard to spot unless someone was VERY focused on the sky. At the last moment he opened his wings, slowing and landing near radiant. "Radiant.... we have a situation. It seems we are going to ambush a patrol of centaurs out in the wastes. They have the ability to sense magic, and seem very aggressive. Strider sent me to inform you" he said softly, checking himself to make sure nothing was damaged in the quick decent. " Keep your eyes open for them" he added.
