A/N: Results of the poll: Basically just write more Arkos. And since I'll likely do that anyways (it's a very easy go-to when I'm tired/inebriated/don't want to think anymore) I've just decided to start working more on the other options instead XD You'll see more Arkos, but also don't hesitate to check out fics with other characters, y'all!
Let me know what you think!

Adam was ready to slash away any enemies. This was his new family, and he would protect them.
So, when he retrieved a Dust-embedded knife from one assailant, blocking another man's attack, he wasn't expecting the blade to glow red, his Aura channeling into the blade. He saw another man aim at Kali's back.
He swung to defend her, a slice of energy and power and pain erupting from the blade and slicing the human clean in two.
Intestines fell onto the floor, and it was dark.
