[Dacorum]

Dacorum's kick never lands, though. While he swings through the air his eyes flash with a sudden sense of urgency and he gasps. He withdraws his knees, pulls his glaive close to his body, and tumbles to the ground, somersaulting back to his feet.

He bows to Taishi. I am pleased to have you on my side. Your skill and attitude are both admirable. But... General Fenrir is in dire need of assistance, and I cannot delay any further.

He thumps the base of his weapon against the ground and disappears in a flash of light. The ice that was spreading over his armor remains hovering in the air for the briefest moment before crashing to the ground and shattering into a quickly-evaporating mist of ice shards.
