So he agreed, but Brianne had to help her. As much as that felt like a smack in the face, this man was apparently working with the Clave, it was probably for the better. Roxanne looked from Brianne to Alarick as she smiled. "Fun, fun! Lets have some great fun!" Roxanne shouted before getting ready to attack. If Alarick took one look at Roxanne he would tell that she was not sane. She was ready for the fight and she was going to make sure it was a lot of fun. Roxanne didn't go straight in for an attack like Brianne did. Instead she stood for a moment. "Why should we have to attack first. That is no fun." Roxanne stated as she sat on the ground, arms crossed. As she sat looking like she was pouting she was actually subtly drawing runes on herself so as soon as Alarick was done being distracted by Brianne, she would be ready. The runes were simple. One for speed and one for strength. As soon as Alarick finished dealing with Brianne's attack, which she figured it wouldn't take long, Roxanne sprang up. The extra speed was hopefully unexpected as she brought up her Seraph blade. Roxanne went straight for a slash at his side ending in her landing and rolling on the ground, given she never fully stood up. From there, if doable she would get to her feet, ready for the real fight to start.
Roxanne was on her feet but crouched down waiting for what happened next with Brianne. The girl rolled out of the way, but then nothing. She didn't attack because some jack*ss decided it was fine time to interrupt. Roxanne stood up straight and rolled her eyes. She didn't like it but she had to. Though as she walked past Alarick towards the door, an idea came into her head. Behind Alarick, Roxanne turned around and pointed her blade at Alarick's back. "You interrupted my sparing match. I don't like that. If you want to talk to Brianne you have to defeat both of us in a duel. It should be that hard, after all you are the brother that Brianne spoke about who spends so much time with the Clave. If you are that good, what it two little old Nephilim?" Roxanne taunted with a giggle. "If we win you owe me ice cream." She then added before jumping away for a moment. Her eyes sparkled thinking about the fact that he probably wouldn't know how she fought and how much that would work to her advantage.
Well the girls were doing good on their own so Aislinn moved even further away from them, spreading out among the heartless. The creatures were far spread, so why couldn't they be? Aislinn didn't waste much time heading to a higher populated area of heartless and start slashing through them. The battle was getting tedious but they had to continue, there was no use running away from the damn things, they would just follow or find someone else to hurt and neither was a good option. BP Heartless kill count: Shadows: 68 Dark Balls: 9 Shadows injured: Shadow 1: 2 BP Shadow 2: 1 BP Total Experience Gained Veera: 360 EXP (27 Shadows, 2 Dark Ball) Xara: 295 EXP (16 Shadows, 3 Dark Ball) Aislinn: 385 EXP (3 Dark Ball, 25 Shadows)
Roxanne not only blocked with ease, but as she did she put pressure on Brianne's stele, using the force to try to knock it aside while she leaped back. Standing away from Brianne, Roxanne cracked a smile and giggled. "Come on. You are better than that, make it really fun!" She stayed. "Like this!" Running forward Roxanne faked an attack left, moved right instead dropping down. From there she swung her leg around to take out Brianne's leg. From there she stood up again, ready for whatever happened next. The girls eyes sparkled with delight at this fight, her mind slowly calming back down. Ooc. Phone post is a go. Will add the picture and the colours when I get home.
Aislinn began to fall into a steady rhythm of killing heartless. Her eyes would go back and forth between Veera and Xera. Aislinn hated helping one but not really the other, that being said she didn't have much of a choice. Xera seemed to be having slightly more trouble with the heartless than Veera was having. That being said it didn't mean that Aislinn wouldn't keep an eye on Veera. Things could change in a heartbeat, she knew that. For now Aislinn kept to herself, twirling around as she fought off a dark ball. Each person could have their own fight. She wouldn't be too close unless needed. She didn't want to make anyone feel she thought they were incompetent. However Aislinn did do a little clean up for the sake of making sure that things were getting done efficiently. On top of that she killed one more random shadow just for good measure. Aislinn then stepped back for a moment to catch her breath before she was ready to continue fighting again. BP Heartless kill count: Shadows: 57 Dark Balls: 5 Shadows injured: Total Experience Gained Veera: 305 EXP (26 Shadows, 1 Dark Ball) Xara: 175 EXP (13 Shadows, 1 Dark Ball) Aislinn: 325 EXP (3 Dark Ball, 19 Shadows)
Laurentinus had not noticed till it was too late that dark shadows had grabbed at his legs. He was not able to go very far but that was okay, the spider remained in front of him, so there was nothing to be worrying about. However despite that Kara seemed to be worried about it. Meanwhile the spider in front of him tried to bite him once more. "How do you like the taste of that metal huh? Here have some more." Laurentinus offered as he swung his broadsword at the spiders face. He glanced behind the spider at Kara afterwards giving her a small smile. He wasn't going down so easily and she should know that. "Don't worry yourself with me, perhaps you should focus on the spider behind you. I can deal with this spider. He isn't so bad, and lets face it, they like eating metal apparently I will make sure he gets to eat lots of it." Ren had a mischievous grin on his face as he spoke. So long story short. Laurentinus used broadsword strike. (6 AP) Then didn't have enough ap to do anything else.
"Don't worry about it kid." Aislinn responded in the middle of fighting. She couldn't afford to turn away from the heartless, not now. She had to get rid of them and protect everyone. These two girls, though fighting for themselves would eventually grow tired, if they could get rid of all the heartless before that happened, that would be good. She wasn't about to see anyone dying today.There were others here too that could use help, however she wasn't quite sure what was going on with them, but unless they seemed super in danger, she would stick to helping the two girl. As Aislinn fought, she spotted a creature coming up behind Xara. The woman moved quickly towards the girl and slashed at the heartless. "Watch you back." She instructed as she whirled around and took out another shadow at her own back. So the dance continued, a war on the shadows around them, for now forgetting about the larger heartless floating around them. They could deal with that later, she was sure of it. She would take them all out later if she had to. BP Heartless kill count: Shadows: 47 Dark Balls: 3 Shadows injured: Shadow 1; 1 BP left Total Experience Gained Veera: 245 EXP (20 Shadows, 1 Dark Ball) Xara: 120 EXP (12 Shadows) Aislinn: 250 EXP (2 Dark Ball, 16 Shadows)
"I am not saying you can't, I am just... never mind. Let's just get rid of this thing before it hurts people, can we both agree on that?" Carson said with a sigh. Well hopefully she was at least sensible enough to fight as a team and not them each fighting it on their own, that could lead to disaster, specially when the girl was this stubborn and played with fire. He would rather not be burned. Carson waited till the fireball exploded on the things chest and then surged forward to attack, bursting through the smoke that remained in order to cover his attack. As he reached the other side he stashed at the heartless with a strong slash. From there Carson retreated slightly. When he did the armour split it's limbs off. Sending it's hands, it's feet, and it's body in a different direction each. "You get the hands, I'll get the feet, and we will deal with the body after." Carson instructed, hoping this time she would not be so stubborn to get after him for making a plan. The glass shattered in mostly big pieces making it easy to clean up, but still small shards remained, getting caught in the cloth as she cleaned. A broom, she needed a broom to clean up the glass, but if the floor was too wet it would only wreck the broom. Destiny continued to clean up the alcohol, wringing her cloth out into the bucket before continuing. This must have been a fresh bottle too that he broke. In some ways it was a shame. She knew it was expensive. When she finished cleaning she started back to her room. Passing Derrick she stopped to speak. "Sorry about your scotch. It must have cost you a lot." She said quietly. "I don't need your damn pity! Get up to your damn room and don't come out!" Derrick ordered her, anger in his eyes. Destiny did as he said, not minding the yelling. She was still going to be kind about the entire thing. There was no reason not to be. The man was sad, alone, and angry. He needed some compassion in his life, even if that compassion was rewarded with beatings. Once in her room she took up her favourite spot by the window to start singing once again. It was too early to go to bed and really she had nothing better to do. Perhaps someone below would hear her song and enjoy it. Perhaps it would make someones day a little better.
Seth cautiously stepped in the room and took a seat across from Sigmund. "Seth, my name is Seth." He introduced himself to the man. "And if you didn't catch it, the young woman's name is Tessa." He informed Sigmund realizing that he had not done that before. Then the question was asked about how he was feeling. It was a general question, but still an uncomfortable one for Seth. He wasn't quite sure how to answer and whether, in a physical sense, a deep mental sense, or feeling on the current situation. "I am fine." He responded in a flat tone, hoping to just cover all the bases with that. Seth made sure to keep his hand hidden under the table, make sure Sigmund didn't see it, then he might try to point out that he isn't fine and that was not a discussion he wanted to deal with. "She wasn't supposed to have a family. She wasn't supposed to even live." Seth mumbled quietly. "She was supposed to be set free from the life of working for that sh*thole brothel. She wasn't supposed to have a damn witcher for a brother instead." He then continued to mumble. "But yes okay. Yes I feel what it is like for her damn family and I don't blame her damn brother for trying to kill me." Seth responded keeping his eyes down. When asked what he thought his punishment should be, something snapped in Seth. He stood up and slammed his hands down on the counter. "I don't know okay! When I did it I could care less if I died. I fully expected it to be honest! My life means f*ck all. But then He brought me back to a sanctuary for our kind where we weren't hunted. He showed me that my life was not the only option for a life that dopplers had! He introduced me to Tessa, the first person I have ever felt an inclination to care for! I can't leave her now! You know I went back to check on her when I thought Veceslav was going to kill me and I heard her talking about the fear of everyone leaving her. I cannot do that to her. I will no longer lay down and die because where does that leave her? With some crazy old man that we only just met? The only other person she could trust. The person I thought could show me a different life turned on her. He is the reason for her injury! How the hell do you expect me to know what to do?! I don't even know how I ended up here really! I wasn't going to get wrapped up with any of them, but I made a promise to protect her and even though I don't trust the b*stard anymore I will still f*cking protect her!" Seth was yelling now. When he finished he picked up his hands to reveal a spot of blood under his left hand. He had tore open his wound again and it hurt like none other, but the pain was nothing in comparison to his current rage. Well Bryce's words to Aaron rung true, not that she expected anything less. It wouldn't have been the first time Tatiana had slept with a mage, she knew how long they could last. In the end though it left her exhausted. She had not slept in a real bed for days. On the floor and on the back of a horse, yes. A proper bed, no. Tatiana lay sharing a bed with the young man, curled up after their little fun that they had. She was hogging much of the blanket to herself as she was slightly cold. The young woman was fast asleep and didn't seem like much would wake her now, even with the war outside, as for her partner, she didn't really care what he was doing. She payed her debt to him, so it wouldn't be surprising if he just left. She expected it in fact. No one needed to take care of her, or should be expected to.
Later that night as the sun went down, the people began to gather for the announcement that the Princess of their town had to make. The crowd whispered and murmured to each other about the possible meaning behind the meeting. Flame stood behind the platform that would make due as the stage, hidden from peoples sight as she straightened her dress and tiara. She hated wearing this damn outfit, but it was what was needed for the occasion. Stepping up on stage Flame took a big breath and faced everyone. "People of Kaynta, I come before you with grave news." Flame spoke, she shuttered slightly before finding the strength to speak again. "On our mission to save out brave Scout leader Drake, and our dear friend and comrade Veera, Our king, King Rhysand Rouge the VI has moved on from this world. He was a great friend, leader, mentor, and father, and more to just me. He was that to many of you as well. In his place I, Princess Amber will step up to be your queen. I know many of you don't trust me to be your queen. In the past I have been stupid, reckless, and not the leader you want. However I promise that I will do my best in my fathers place." Flame, or Queen Amber as it was now, spoke to her people keeping her voice as calm as possible, despite the sadness that edged her mind. Flame then changed her tone to a happier one. "I know now it seems not the time for it, but I need to call a few people up. "Gale, Chrono, Kala, Tessa, Griffin, Karen, Hunter, Akari. They volunteered to go out of their way to save Veera and Drake from a possibly horrible fate. On top of that I want to thank Galadorn and Drake in helping in the endeavor to secure the outer wall of the human civilization in order to secure everyone's freedom. Would all of you come up and let the rest of the city see the faces of the bravest that Kaynta has to offer." Flame announced to the people in a proud tone, doing her best to be thankful and happy for them and take a step away from her fathers death, just for the moment. OOC. Alright here is the speech if anyone cares to react, If you want to please do. If not just post in the OOC thread saying you are ready for the time skip. It will be a two year time skip so sort out what is going on with your characters in those two years and such. Talk to other people if need be and I will move it forward to the next arc when I feel like it.
Shifting her focus from mostly the dark balls, Aislinn looked to smaller but more numerous enemies. The shadows crawled along the ground sneaking up on them, surrounding the group. If she could thin the numbers a little more then she would turn back to the dark balls when the numbers weren't as stacked against them. Even with the numbers Aislinn was not worried for herself, but she wanted to make sure the others were okay. Dancing among the shadows on the ground, Aislinn struck them down as soon as they popped their heads up. She stayed closer to Xara since it seemed that Veera could handle herself and she didn't know about Xara yet. It was best that she was safe about this instead of being sorry. BP Heartless kill count: Shadows: 27 Dark Balls: 3 Shadows injured: Shadow 1; I BP left Shadow 2; 1 BP Left Total Experience Gained Veera: 165 EXP (12 Shadows, 1 Dark Ball) Xara: 60 EXP (6 Shadows) Aislinn: 190 EXP (2 Dark Ball, 10 Shadows)
Roxanne was hardly startled when Brianne stepped in front of her. She may have been being quiet, but with the fact Roxanne imagined this dummy as the thing that hurt Hendrick, she was ever vigilant. "Oooh sparing sounds fun! No one ever spars with me." Roxanne replied as she switched weapons from her kitchen knife to her Seraph blade, to match Brianne. A small smile appeared on her face as she jumped back from Brianne. "Just don't expect me to go easy on you because you are my superior. I will still beat you like any other loser." Roxanne stated. It would be different when fighting with the Seraph blade, but she would make it work. She simply winked at Brianne before running at her preparing to strike. However instead of striking right away she stopped and jumped over Brianne, doing a flip in the process, as she landed she drove her blade forward at Brianne's back. She kept on the balls of the feet though, ready to jump away at any point in time.
"I am sure it will be." Seth said softly as he followed Sigmund the rest of the way to his manor. Following him to the guest room, Seth set Tessa down. "Just rest now, please, you need it. I will take care of everything else." Seth said as he brushed her hair out of her face. After that he turned and left the room. With the door shut behind him he had two options, take care of his hand that was quite frankly burning like all hell, or talk to Sigmund and get everything sorted out. In the end he would prefer to deal with the latter first. "Excuse me, Sigmund? Tessa is resting and I would like to sort things out before she is up and about, as to not get her more stressed. So as soon as you have time, I would like to speak to you about whatever you want to speak to me about." Seth tried to speak in the most calm manner he could but he was clearly at least a bit nervous about this. His entire being was panicking honestly, but he did everything he could to hide it. He was going to be strong, for Tessa. Tilly worked for the next twenty minutes in a silent rhythm, creating and packaging remedies for her client. She didn't notice anyone as they walked by. Once she had finished the remedies she had her nose stuck in a book, studying until she heard the door open. "Oh hello!" Tilly said as she jumped from her seat slight startled. She stepped around from behind her desk and bowed to the man. "Hello sir. I have your remedies right here. They are fresh too." The girl said in a slightly quieter voice. Most people would think Tilly was extremely shy, however she actually really liked people, she was just a quiet girl. Soon enough she had gotten her payment and the man had left her to get back to work. "Tilly play with me now?" A small voice asked from the door leading to the house. "Not now I have to clean." "Tilly you did promise him. You can play later." Talon said as he stepped up behind Gregory. "No actually you promised him I would." Tilly responded as she began to close up several books she had laying around her desk. "Tell you what. You play with him. I will make dinner." Talon tried to bargain. "Fine." She said picking her little brother up. "What have you gotten yourself into this time Gregory. It is the only reason Talon would offer to cook. Hopefully he doesn't kill us all." Tilly said in a sarcastic tone, as she walked towards Gregory's room as Greg giggled at her bad jokes.
Well that hurt a little, though she was always even more hot when she was angry. He loved the fire in her eyes, it was beautiful. Aster got back up on his knees after being knocked down by the force of the kick. It would take a lot to cover the bruise, but it was worth it to see Carissa this angry, this hot. Rose sat in her dark cell in silence. As she waited and started to get full mobility back, Rose began to plot. She had memorized the exact route that was taken to get her there, so she could make it out easy enough. Rose moved slowly, quietly to the wall near the door. She used her camouflage ability to blend in with the wall she stood. When someone inevitably came for her, she would simply slip out the open door into the hall and sneak out. As much as she would love to kill everyone here she couldn't risk it and she didn't have her weapons. She just had to sneak out and get back to Jayce as soon as possible.
Laurentinus watched as Kara was attacked. He wanted to run to her and help her, but was caught up (ha ha. Ha?) in his own fight. He just had to finish off this spider then he could go to Kara's aid. Laurentinus was thankful for his armour as it helped protect him from the bite of the spider. Knowing he had to get the fight done quickly, Laurentinus switched to a more offensive attack with his broad sword. "Hang on Kara, I am coming as fast as I can." Ren mumbled to himself before attacking. So pretty much this is what happened: Laurentinus used Broadsword attack (6AP) He did nothing else because you can do crap all with 2 AP except moving and that is of no use to him.
Annabelle let her shoulders relax slightly when she heard Archon at the door as he entered. She didn't however know if she should release the Rock golem yet. It made her feel safe having it. "W-was it Yana who sent that? Did she find me? Is she going to come back and hurt me again?" The young girl asked as her eyes flicked to her golem. It wouldn't be enough to protect her from someone like Yana, but it was still better then nothing. Tears stung the girls eyes as she looked up at Archon hoping he had a proper answer for her. She was hoping everything would be alright, because all she could do was hope. "Tilly. I want apple!" The young toddler named Gregory demanded as he walked up to his older sister who was in the front room of their manner, which was currently set up as her shop. "Not now Greg. Go find your brother. I have to finish these remedies before-" "No I want Tilly and I want apple." "Please Greg they will be back any minute and these are more difficult than normal remedies." Tilly pleaded with her four year old brother. She didn't have time to deal with this. "You should know arguing with him is pointless, he is as stubborn as you." The oldest of the three kids appeared in the doorway looking into the shop. "Come on Greg, let Matilda work for now. I will get you an apple and later she will play with you." Talon said as he bent down and picked his little brother up. "Don't study or work too hard now. You are going to make me look bad." He called back to his sister before leaving to take Gregory to the kitchen to get some food. Finally with silence Matilda put her head back down and continued working on her remedies. "Let's see here. I need some of this, and this, and some of that over there for this one." Matilda said out loud as she gather ingredients, most fresh. Both inside the front room and out in the garden she grew herbs, so she had most of what she needed fresh and at hand. Sitting once more she checked her text book two more times and got back to work. Her client should be arriving any minute now and she didn't want to make him wait any longer than he had to. Seth felt very offended when the man made a remark on where Tessa's wounds came from. He held his tongue but he sure ad a thing or two to say to this man for even thinking that he would hurt Tessa. Instead all he said at the end was "I understand," Before he grabbed Tessa and followed the man. Seth was surprised as he was lead towards a district full of wealthy houses. He had been around here many times, it was quite easy to steal from these people when you appear to be one of them. He had not expected this old man, this friend of a witcher, to be quite so wealthy, but that probably worked out better for him. As he walked he glanced at a house with an extravagant garden out front. There was a young girl working in the window too, but for once he did not notice. "Hey Tessa, look at the garden." He told the girl, hoping she was awake enough to hear him and look. He then turned away from the house and continued following Sigmund to his, the back of his mind constantly wondering what this punishment he was to receive would be.
Anthea had been the first to run off, but luckily she was not alone. Aston caught up to her pretty quickly and even pasted her as he headed towards the pack of wolves. Anthea's eyes glanced upwards towards the tree and the man in it before she set her eyes down again. Though she seemed to be focused on only the ground she had learned to become good at looking around despite what it looked like to others. Gripping her staff tightly in hand she stopped running a bit away from where Aston stopped to face the wolves. She might have been shy, but she was not stupid. She knew better than to run right in front and center. She was physically weak, but good with magic. If she kept herself more to the back she should be safe and still able to do some damage. That is what she was counting on. Laurentinus should have known better than to expect Kara not to do something. That being said he could still offer a word of advice on the matter. "Alright just stay back a bit, let me get their attention. There is a reason I wear heavy armour. As long as they are focused on me you shouldn't get hurt. Okay?" Laurentinus said as he thought back to the last battle and how injured that she got from it. He sighed and shook his head, knowing he had no time to dwell on it. Laurentinus moved forward to the right most spider and decided to attack it with his shield. If he could stumble it that would be very helpful. What Laurentinus actually did. He moved 3 spaces, positioning himself right in front of the right spider (3AP) He used shield bash on said spider (5AP) Total AP used: 8 AP

When Roxanne and Nicholas were finally let out of the library, Roxanne had calmed down a slight but, but not enough to function properly. She did what she had to almost by autopilot. She remained very quiet during the time. However after sleeping through it, she seemed a bit more like her normal self when it came morning again. Part of Roxanne wanted to see how Hendrick was doing, but she feared that it would send her into another break down, and she still felt a bit of the one that just pasted, so instead she made her way to the training center. In the training room Roxanne began to practice with her knife. She not only was attacking normally but she was practicing flipping around the enemy to avoid imaginary attacks. She allowed herself to surrender to the killing calm as she jumped, flipped and stabbed the target again and again. Each time it missed the killing marks, but that was on purpose. She never liked to kill her victims too quickly. After about eight stabs, Roxanne flipped, around and kicked it, knocking the thing to the ground. From there she let out a low laugh. If this was her enemy they would be powerless to do anything to stop her now. She climbed on top of the training dummy and started to make shallow cuts in various patterns. the training dummies body was pretty much covered in cuts by the times she was done her carving. Now time for the final touch that would ensure to kill it. "You die now." She said with a giggle as she made a deeper cut above where a heart would be. She ten practiced the motion of carving out the heart, though it wasn't there to take. This was exactly how she would kill those who hurt Hendrick when she could find them.
"Unlike you b*stards I have some morals and with witcher b*tch as you put it is like a sister to me. She is family. For no reason would I abandon her." Aaron responded in a low growl of a tone. Despite the grim situation, Aaron remained strong, or as strong as he could. He wasn't about to bow down to the likes of this. Anger and hatred burned in his eyes. "I may be just a pup but that doesn't mean I can't learn to kill to survive, and become Alpha over the likes of you." He spit out. It was then that his leg got stabbed and he was sent stumbling. Aaron fell to the ground when Bryce let him go, but he soon found his way back to his feet, gritting his teeth as he did. The wound in his leg made standing hard and the idea of trying to fight even harder. His silver sword was loose in his hand as he tried to find the strength to lift it. Perhaps he should take something to help. A swallow, yes that would be good. Aaron reached to grab out as his arm burned from the effort, though he didn't get it to his mouth before another arrow pierced his side. The sudden pain caused him to drop the flask, it shattered at his feet and Aaron stumbled once more. The world was going hazy as Bryce circled around him talking. He had killed one of these peoples family? When? It had to have been when the mage lead them to the sanctuary. Aaron grimaced as he looked away from the girl who's family he had taken away. He knew what it was like to lose his family, he only had one person left. He couldn't even try to avoid the arrow coming for his bicep. Tears stung Aaron's eyes because of all the pain he was in. He stumbled around a bit and fell to one knee, he knew he was done for. This was the end of it, he was at the mercy of the damn scum known as a doppler. This was only further confirmed as a sword met his throat. Aaron kept his head high however. Still in his last moments he refused to bow. Then Bryce refereed to his sister. "You leave Tatiana alone. Leave her out of this." He said, his voice slightly weaker now than when he first spoke. The talk about her being with a mage, well that didn't bother him as much. He knew what she was, he knew what she did and he knew that she had little money, so sometimes it was all she could offer. But even still in a time like this he wanted to think about his sister happy, not selling her body to keep herself alive. "If you lay a finger on her you better be sure I will be back to haunt y-" His words were cut off when the knife slid across his neck, severing his head from his body. Blood gurgled and flowed from his lips for a moment as the head hit the ground. His body twitched before it went still and fell from a kneeling position to laying chest down on the ground. Thin white scars that remained from childhood seemed more predominate as his skin grew a slight bit more pale. Aarons lips, though going darker in colour remained in a scowl of anger towards the man who had ended him
