Sahm Yu Eru
Screeching and hissing, the slavering predators shuddered with adrenaline as they rounded on the figure, but something instinctive held them at bay. The warrior stood alone in their midst, illuminated by the solitary light of an energy blade which cast a violet hue, reflected in the eyes of the monsters. In a flash, he swung his blade with a ferocity inconsistent with his stone faced serious expression. As the blade danced, leaving afterimages with its speed, the reaching claws of the monsters were severed from their limbs, and, as one, their will broke and they began to flee.

Armored in nothing but drab brown robes, and wielding naught but a sword hilt, stones began to swirl about the dark skinned warrior as he faced the enemy. As a blade of pure violet energy appeared in his hand, the enemy took an involuntary step back.
