Rashiel pulls his sword back and out of Zareks eye, leaving a long cut running vertically across zareks forehead vertically above Zareks eye and pushes him self of Zarek, smashing Zarek in the face with his hilt and snapping off the spike.
He stumbles away from Zarek, holding at his gut and scratching at the end of the spike sticking out of his breastplate. He finally pulls it out slowly, yelling with pain, and throws it aside. "You bastard!" He spits, blood flowing slightly from his mouth, "My wing! You think I care about my wings!!?"
With a wild look and a wicked smile he sticks his sword into the ground and reaches behind him, grabbing onto his other good wind and, with a twist, snaps the bone in it. He twists it and yanks, ripping the flesh and tearing his other good wing off. he looks at it, gritting his teeth in pain and throws it to the side, standing triumphantly.

Zarek moves into a crouch, blood running from his destroyed eye and cut on his head, covering the side of his face in blood. He looks at Rashiel with disbelief at what he did.
"You need those to get back to The Gates? Are you insane?"

Rashiel steps towards the crouched Zarek, closing the distance and removing his sword from the ground, holding it out wide, blood running freely from under his breastplate, his mouth and back.
"I have spent over two thousand years trying to hide my secret from an all knowing, all seeing being. You wouldn't be very sane either."

Thane's skid slows after the strike and he stands after he comes to a halt. His brief contact with the angel only fueled Thane's ache for revenge. After Kahn burst into holy flame Thane leaps to his aid. Thane quickly rips down a tapestry and uses it to help smother the flame engulfing King Erethkaniel. "Will you be alright M'lord?" Thane asks as he pulls the singed tapestry away from Kahn. Thanes attentions are torn away by Zarek's screams of agony and the hound sneers in hatred. Thane turns to witness Rashiel tear away his one remaining wing. The thick smells of blood trigger Thane's predatory nature and the hound charges Rashiel from the rear. Thane soars through the air hoping to dig his claws into the raw nubs on Rashiel's back while his vice like jaws clamp his huge teeth deep into Rashiel's now exposed neck. Thane wants to drop the wounded warrior to the floor like a wounded gazelle before Zarek. Most fitting for his foe to assume a bowing posture before the General to allow his master the killer blow.

Lysandor's spare moment of hesitation when Khan burst into flames lost him his advantage in the fight. He hurries over to the Incubi King as Thane puts out the fires.
"My Lord . . .?"

Khan grits his teeth in pain, then gives one hollow, rasping laugh, his voice raw and whispery. "Haahh. So much for altruism. Last one asked that too, didn't even stick around for the answer. In a way, that's as it should be, since I see the angel is still breathing. Here," he said as he handed Heartsblood to Lysandor, "take this. Either use it yourself, or find a way to get it to the General. Two weapons are always better than one, and I'd like to get some small measure of vengeance on that creature if I can. Tell him to hit the heart. But if either of you get it broken by that wingless, witless, crazed piece of sunshine that got blown too far up someone's ass, know that this place will seem like the Elysian Fields compared to what I will do to you. Now go, all the concern in the world won't heal me if that angel lives long enough to notice I still draw breath." Khan feebly shoves at Lysandor, directing him to the battle, then proceeds to slowly peel bits of the tapestry off of him where it stuck to his burns, hissing in pain now and again and muttering the foulest, most dire curses he knew, wishing he had some of his sister's ability with magic to make them reality.

Thane hits Rashiel square in the back, and rashiel falls to his knees under Thanes weight, yelling in agony. His screams are cut short when he feels thanes teeth dig into his neck.

Zarek stands, limping his way back towards Thane and the kneeling Rashiel. "Now, you can't get away." Zarek hisses at him between teeth clenched in pain. "You should be proud, some fallen can't even take the beating you have. But, now, it is time to end this." Zarek raises his sword, high in front of him, the acid running over the hilt and over his hands, burning them and starting to eat through them. But Zarek no longer cares, bent on splitting Rashiels head in two.

"Bastard, I know why you brought me to this room," Rashiel rasps. "You thought I couldn't use my earth powers here. Too bad for you."
The room suddenly shakes violently. Three long marble spikes erupt out of one of the marble pillars, heading straight for Thanes exposed side. At the same time a large spike of stone thrust out of the floor at an angle towards Zarek, barely missing rashiels face and heading straight for Zareks chest.

The three long spikes catch Thane in the side, shoving him off Rashiel and nearly tearing out rashiels throat. The spikes push him across the room and pin him to the wall. Luckily the spikes are small enough they don't kill Thane, but badly wounding him.
The large spike hit's Zarek's breastplate and punches through him, lifting him off the ground and impaling him. The spike passes through him for several feet and stops with almost a foot in diameter of stone stuck through him.

Ciel quickly shadows to her Master's aid. "Oh Master Khan! What has that...that... an-angel done to you?"
She quickly tries everything she knows to help him, hoping that something will work.

Thane's teeth bite hard into Rashiel as a sum of his rage against this angel of destruction. The taste of the blood and flesh only make Thane bite harder to immobilize his quarry. Thane's burning eyes follow Zarek with glee as his lord lifts his blade for the death stroke. But to Thane's ultimate surprise, his general is impaled as is Thane in less than a heart beat. Thane lets out a muffled yip as his clenched teeth tear away from Rahsiel's throat when he is ran through and pinned to the wall. Thane snarls from the pain as he turns to see the stone pierce his hide and watch his hot blood begin to rain onto the polished floor. Malice begins to writhe from Thane's agony and quickly wraps around each spike. The black chain starts to spin and saw at the three stone skewers in an attempt to free Thane quickly before the dark hound sheds too much blood.

The Queen stands at the top of the stairs with her fists clenched around it. Her attention is focused on the battle and once is it drawn away. She watches as Khan is injured and even beings to take a step towards him when Ciel goes to him. She stops and resumes her white-knuckled vigil of the fight.
