Snippet #2165727

Raiyn Illander

From the corner of his eye, he watched as the Shade slammed his weapon into the ground and threw himself out of the trap that Raiyn had tried to get him locked into. His voice growled in anger as he watched the Shade land on the other side of him. "You're good, but I'm better..." Talazar said, his voice telling Raiyn that he had a smile on his lips as he spoke. Whipping around, Talazar launched a large piece of earth right at him. His eyes widened as he watched it come at him, realizing that the attack was not specifically aimed at him, but for his weapon.

His fingers tightened on the blade, and he twisted violently in the vines, trying to pull his arm free to keep the only chance he had against the Shade. However, his pulling only made the vines tightened around him and he winced as the ropes tightened around him. His wrist and fingers exploded in pain as the large piece of earth cracked into his wrist. He was sure a few bones broke from the impact as everything from his wrist down to his fingers went numb. His sword fell out of his grasp them, clattering to the earth and the green jewel fading in it's brilliance.

Raiyn turned his eyes to glare at the man, though his chest twisted with a sense of fear. Not for himself, but for the Princess whom he'd been trying to protect. It was a reminder of things that had happened to him in the past. Twice he'd failed to protect someone he cared about, and now it looked as if he were going to fail once again. Though, this time it would be marked by his death rather than hers. Having just met her, he still knew that she would be upset about it if he were to die. Pulling his good hand into a fist, he pulled at the vines again, trying to ignore the pressure that built around his chest and body as the leathery ropes tightened around him.

Damnit.. I'm not going to die here, he cursed, grinding his teeth in the process. There had to be a way out, some how...


Kirrah Shay

Something hard connected with the back of her skull and she stumbled forward. Her vision swam in and out as she slowly turned around to see who had hit her. Kirrah's eyes met the young man's who had told her that they needed to leave the town. A thin eyebrow rose up in confusion as her lips parted to ask him why he had done that too her. However, the world swung around and a moment after she dropped to the ground in total darkness.


Nira Ku

"My my, what a cruel thing to do to a woman," the elven Shade cooed as she came out of the darkness to meet the group. Her lips parted into a smile as she leveled a cold stare at the Shade and the others. Pulling her sword from it's sheath she looked at the blade and the jewel embedded in it. "Thanks to that meddlesome boy, I was forced to receive a different sword and jewel, but that won't be a problem. You see, I like this weapon very much," she continued then pointed the weapon at them all. The blade hummed slightly as the steel vibrated with the power from the Demon Jewel. Black strings of light cracked up and down the length of the blade as she held it.

"He's already tasted it's power. Quite... electrifying," she laughed. Turning to Aelianus, her lips lifted in a deeper, more malicious grin. She still had plans for him, so in the mean time she didn't say a word about her order to him, "That was a bad move for you, Aelianus. Knocking out your only hope at defeating me. That's alright, this will make it all the more pleasurable."

Nira turned back to the others and picked her target. The young man who had attacked her last time, his sweet voice trying to make her see reason in turning her back on the Shades. He was quite the opponent and so her first shot of powerful magic was directed at him, "Don't worry, I won't kill you all. Just one of you. I think two deaths will be enough to start things."

After the magic was launched, Nira lunged forward, her sword leading as she went right for the young man's throat.
