Eyepatch. The crude nickname alone was enough to make Aurum scowl, but it was far from the first sin that the Messenger had committed in coming here. The God might've thought that "picking on his friends" was the understatement of the year, but it really wasn't for the angel, one who would go to the very depths of hell for those that he cared about. He and Rin may not have been as close as he and some others were, but that didn't mean he was about to let any harm come to her. The two of them had fought alongside each other in the past, and she had expressed genuine concern for the wellbeing of Tanglewood and everywhere else. She was a good person, and she didn't deserve to be handed over to some overblown tyrant who felt as though he deserved it. Ears pinning back in anger, the lion could already feel flames faintly licking at the corners of his maw, burning white hot and vicious in response to his anger. He had become better at controlling his elementals over time, but he wasn't about to push them down this time, simply roaring at the Messenger in response, "Yeah, you're damn right I've made my choice!" He hadn't been one to back down when the forces of his own heaven were bearing down upon him, and he wouldn't back down now, no matter what the overblown rattish avian had to say for himself.
The crows diving towards him were no surprise, despite his lack of sight on that side. Even if he couldn't see them, he could still hear them. He could hear the distinct swoop and rush of air as the birds plummeted towards him, their claws outstretched. He wrenched his large body aside, dodging one of their attacks. Although he was forced to wince when he felt claws drag harshly across his flank. It was a glancing blow, but damn did it still hurt like a bitch. Snarling angrily, the lion thrust out one of his wings, attempting to knock one of the crows out of the sky. Whether he was successful or not, he would then attempt to clamp down his flaming fangs on the other crow, crunching down with the full force of his jaws if he was successful. He wasn't about to let himself be bullied by a couple of little birds. He made a mental note that once he dealt with their attack, he would try to figure out where that damn Messenger was and focus on him to stop this madness. He just hoped that it wouldn't be too difficult, considering the god had taken the form of a pied crow amongst all of the other crows. He could only really hope that his ability to see auras would work in his favor, and he'd be able to locate him quickly.
