[Day 2]

[folklorist]

[ Helios will bat away any flying weapons Obi-Wan doesn't manage to block. Gusts of air shoot past the jedi and collide full force into the cultists who aren't paying attention. A jet of fire missed with bolts of electricity will burst from Helios' hands as he throws multiple strikes at the cultists. Helios will have to divert his attention to the cultist charging him though. A sword of rock will erupt from the ground as he summons it with muted, whispered, words. He'll parry the cultist's downward slash with an sideways slash of his own. He'll manage to force back the cultist with some effort before his uses a lightning spell from behind to sever the wings off his assailant. ]

[Day 2]

[Obi-Wan has worked in groups and units most of his life, but in the past it was primarily the military or other Jedi. Magic of the kind Helios utilized was relatively new to him, and uncomfortably aggressive and potent for his own tastes.

But as he and Helios work together to fight the cultists, he begins to appreciate it more and more as a complement to his own more martial tactics. Where Obi-Wan was primarily a swordsman and soldier who used the Force to supplement his fighting, Helios was a potent magic-wielder who supplemented his mystical prowess with swordplay- and it worked well. Obi-Wan's defensive abilities made it possible for him to protect himself and keep the bulk of the force off of Helios, and Helios's magic was destructive and powerful enough to eliminate enemies quickly and easily while Obi-Wan held them at bay.

At first, Obi-Wan is parrying and fighting nearly a dozen cultists at once, their simultaneous assault pressing him nearly as much as Grievous had, and more coming to replace those they eliminate. Soon, though, he's only facing half that number. Then a handful. Finally, he's in single combat against an elite, already charred and scorched by Helios's magic, and he takes advantage of that moment of distraction and pain to leap over his head and sever both of his wings. The Elite falls. Obi-Wan lands neatly on his feat, straightens, and deactivates his lightsaber.

And glances at Helios.]

"Well. I suspect that should hold them for a moment. Are you injured?"
