Quote:
Onyxia: Being the only female in my family now, it's a lot tougher in my claws. Well, Demon, anything updated on your plans? I'm sure a god or two has come stumbling your way by now, hm?
Selkahr: -Lands softly upon the rafters above, having come in through the skylight windows, and peers down at teh duo below, fur puffing slightly and her talons sinking into the wood.- > -> -Watches with a silent rumble in her chest.-
Samhain: *grumbles* Unfortunately things have been going rather slow with my plans...I haven't encountered many other Gods since I last spoke with you. It would seem fate is conspiring against me at the moment.
Onyxia: *drums her sharp claws on the floor* No... recruitments? *raises a brow*
Samhain: No...It seems most foxes here are either too loyal or too lazy to take a stand against the Gods.
Onyxia: Ah, that so...? Say, who was your beautiful lady friend who... helped bandage you yesterday? It seemed like you two got along quite well. *smirks*
Selkahr: -Gives a small growl from above, still peering down at the two but not moving.- Hoping to play the pity card, "Oh Great One"? Nobody it would seem, but you know of my mother and I. Or is it that you lack the brain capacity to remember? 3<
Onyxia: Well, well, well. Speak of the great harpy beauty, I was just speaking of you. *chuckles* I'm sure you didn't hear well from your distance, but the maze demon here did say 'most', not referring to all, dear.
Samhain: *looks up to the rafters* You mean her? That would be...oh, what was it again? I seem to have forgotten your name. *gives Selkahr a mocking smirk* And to be quite honest, you and your mother hardly seem interested in giving or receiving help.
Selkahr: -Bares her fangs, just a little, at the insults she was handed by both.- I had heard well enough. The so-called Lord of the Maze is nothing more than a maggot with bits of magical sparkle about him; he's best left to rot. -Snorts, narrowing her pupils on the source of most of her annoyance...Samhain, of course.- We've been here longer than you, and unfortunately, we've had to lay low because of our history with the wretched Goddess herself. You think we would crawl over and whimper to help you, who can't even defeat a measly fox with a gun and sword, and a piece of scrap metal?
Onyxia: Is that so...? Come to think about it, I've never even seen your magic, Demon...
Samhain: *glares at Selkahr* You've been up here longer than I have, but I've been down in that maze for my fair share of time. I know things neither you nor your mother know of. The only reason those worms are such a nuisance now is because my power is restricted. Once I destroy the Gods and reclaim my previous power I won't even have to look at them to end their pathetic lives. *flicks his wings then looks to Onyxia* I choose to reserve my magic for when it's needed. I'm currently....limited in my store of power, unfortunately.
Selkahr: -Snorts.- Excuses, excuses, that's all you offer. If this is but a fraction of your full power, Demon, then I would hate to see you embarrass yourself with your full power. > -> -Flicks her wings, growl still rumbling in her chest.-
Onyxia: What a pity... Perhaps my world was better to stay in after all. *exhales some more smoke, this time quite darker* Hmph, I suppose I'll continue to provide my aid if you still need it, Demon. *lets her wings unfold as she approaches the closest window* I won't bother you any more for now; I bid you two a goodnight then, if there is such a thing. *smirks before flying off*
Samhain: *flicks his tail then settles his wings and sits, choosing to go about this in a less aggressive, though still offensive, manner* At least I have power to show. What have you got? All I've ever seen you do is hide behind the reputation of your mother. Don't forget, woman, it was I who defeated you in the maze, not the other way around. If I didn't know better, I'd say you have nothing to show for all this talk you do.... *watches Onxyia take her leave, a bit put off by how displeased she sounded at his explanation, then returns to Selkahr*
Selkahr: Good night, Black Dragon. > >; -Eyes her as she leaves before snarling aloud and dropping to the set of rafters where Samhain was, pulling her lips back to expose her fangs.- Any magic I have is sealed within. My mother used to be a Goddess, but the Goddess herself could not strip away her power, so she was sealed. As I am. As my brother is. All I have to show for it is the strength I have. -Stops, then smirks as his lingering look to the window made her feel smug.- Ah, doubt in the face of an ally. How jagged is that pill to swallow, Oh Great One? You said the maze was your domain. Clearly, it was not mine. But if you had even half your full power, as you say, then on even footing, you are no match for me.
Samhain: *flicks his tail, quite annoyed at the trouble this harpy has caused between him and the only one he's managed to ally with* You try my patience with this petty obsession over your defeat in the maze. I think it's time this conflict came to an end. *stands and partially spreads his wings, eyes locked onto Selkahr and glowing faintly*
Selkahr: -Snorts at him.- Are you so keen on being defeated that you'd dare to challenge me while injured? -Bristles, feeling it to be an insult to her own abilities, despite her confident front.-
Samhain: If that's what it will take to put an end to this then yes. Besides, how can I expect to bring down the Gods if I can't even handle the normal offspring of a fallen Goddess? This is an opportunity to reveal if my plans have any hope or...if it's all forlorn attempt at revenge.
PostPosted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 11:48 pm


The young half-Harpy snarled to herself. 'I am anything but normal. He attempts to taunt me, yet fails in this aspect. I know who I am and what I am capable of. I will make no excuses for myself. I may have these sealing markings upon my legs, but I am not weak in any way. My lack of magic has forced me to work harder, be faster, and stronger. This so-called Demon Lord is not fit to cast judgment upon me.'

Flicking out her wings rapidly, she rose to her full height. While she was much smaller than him physically, her strength outmatched his own, which made her and her mother formidable opponents to the strong, huge Celestials they were hellbent upon exterminating.

She did not acknowledge him or taunt him, but bunched her muscles and sprang the few feet there was towards him, intending to rip and tear before he had a spell ready to attack her with.

There was little time to react thanks to small distance separating them. Unlike his fight with Deadpool, Samhain couldn't throw up a magical barrier to block her which meant she would start off with the advantage. Size meant nothing in this fight and he knew it. In spite of all his boasting her physical power was in fact greater than his and close combat was not how he was going to win. However, there wasn't much of a choice in this case but to get close and so he quickly decided to meet her half way and lunged, flicking a wing between them and swinging it at her in hopes of knocking her out of the air.
PostPosted: Wed Dec 16, 2009 12:10 pm


He thought to knock her out of the air? It enraged her, but his wings were fairly powerful. Still, she wasn't going to let him get away with that. Flexing her claws, she drove them into the soft membranes of his wings before she was bettered off. With any luck, his wings would be useless with the gaping tears she might have inflicted.

She fell a couple precious feet before her own wings caught the air and she swooped up on the other side of him, hoping to catch him unawares by coming from an angle behind him. She would, if she was lucky, have been fast enough and smart enough...and could latch onto his back and drag her hind talons painfully against his spine.

Yes, she had managed to tear into his wings, but it was hardly something to get distracted by. A few minor rips weren't enough to effect flight terribly. He had to keep his attention fully on the harpy if he were to avoid another close quarters engagement. His eyes stayed on her constantly, discreetly following her a she fell, caught herself, then wheeled around to sneak up behind. He tried to play the fool, acting as if he didn't know she was behind him then quickly swung around before she could launch her attack and sent a wave of magic at her, albeit a rather weak one.

Only an amateur would take her eyes off her prey, even while below him. While Selkahr couldn't escape the spell completely, she was happily surprised to discover it didn't do much damage at all. Corkscrewing in the air to shake off the blow mentally, she tucked her wings and did another quick pass. With her wings trimmed, it was only mere seconds before she was in position again, talons outstretched and ready to rend.

She would not waste valuable time or position by moving farther away. Keeping her eyes trained on him, she could only hope her lithe frame was quick enough that he hadn't readied another spell.

It was obvious he wasn't going to win this by pecking at her with petty spells. He would either have overpower her physically, which would be quite a task, or he would have essentially pull an all or nothing attack with magic. Seeing as he wasn't quite ready to exhaust his limited reserves of power just yet, the demon grudgingly settled for physical combat. He quickly spread his wings and filled them with air, moving to meet her mid-flight with matched position, and intention of rending her flesh with his claws.
PostPosted: Sat Dec 19, 2009 12:40 am


Selkahr screeched out a challenge as she saw him rise to meet her head on. She felt a curl of satisfaction within her stomach; she could best him. He was weaker, physically, than her. Oh, he might put up a good fight...but she had strength beyond his.

Fangs snapping at his throat, she collided with him, using her sharp talons to batter her hind legs against his stomach, his thighs, anywhere that was vulnerable that she could reach with them, trying to do as much damage in as little time as she could. She was aware they were falling, unless the demon was stupid enough to keep them aloft, and if she landed on the bottom, she'd have one hell of a time re-orientating herself. She'd fallen a few times, from varying heights, and it was never a pleasant experience. It was because of that her movements were frenzied, trying to rip and tear as much flesh as she could, snarling and growling at him all the while.

Curling his back legs tightly against his stomach to protect the vulnerable area, the demon reached his front paws at Selkahr's face. Though they had intended to claw at her eyes, his paws ended up in her mouth, getting crunched a few times by her snapping jaws. That didn't matter though, all he had to do was restrain her, get some kind of hold on the wretched harpy, and before she could lock her jaws on his paws he quickly pulled them away from her mouth and latched onto her neck. Pulling her close to him, restricting her movement as much as possible, he gave his massive wings one flap before tucking them tightly to his sides. This had put him above her and they were quickly hurtling towards the ground below, but he wasn't concerned at all. He had a nice, soft cushion beneath him to break his fall.

Outraged, Selkahr bent her head as much as she could, despite his paws around her neck, to bite his arm and tear at the flesh there. She was all-too aware of the fact he was on top and the ground was rushing to give them - mostly her - its hard "embrace". Her paws reached up, talons ready and tearing at his face. She bucked her body in a last-ditch effort to either free herself, or move them to a better angle so she wasn't the only one landing upon the floor.

But he - and his wings - were much larger than her own. Even if he flared them to keep them in that position, it wouldn't do much to slow their fall.

So she clenched her jaws against his arm, biting down to secure her grip...but kept her eyes, burning with fury and loathing, open upon her foe as she braced herself as much as she could.

They landed with a twisted cornucopia of muffled sound. Upon impact, despite her clenched jaw, her mouth slipped open a fraction. He could remove his arm...but he'd tear himself in the process. If he didn't...in a few seconds, Selkahr snapped her jaw back into its rigid hold.

She hurt. All. Over. And she was sure she'd cracked her ribs in the fall; breathing was difficult, downright painful. for now, she witlessly attempted to claw his face some more, at least until she could figure out which way was which.

Samhain tried to avoid her snapping jaws but it was no use. If he wanted to keep a hold of her neck he would have to grin and bear it as she locked onto his arm. All of his concentration was on her, on keeping his paws on harpy and himself over her. It was the only way to ignore the pain as her teeth tore mercilessly at his arm. He did his best to keep her claws away from his face, dodging and snapping at her paws when they came near, though she managed a few swipes here and there.

He refused to let her erratic movement dislodge him from his position. He was going to break her. In oh so many different ways was he going to break her and he was determined not to let anything stop him from doing so. He uncurled his back legs from his stomach and dug his claws into her sides, using this to keep his position above her.

A moment of panic hit him when she tightened her bite on his arm. He had flinched and loosened his grip on her neck, giving only the slightest opportunity to avoid taking the full brunt of the fall. But it wasn't enough of one and when they hit the floor he hardly felt a thing save a bit of a shudder through his body. The impact had loosened her own grip on his arm and Samhain tried to pull it free in the time he was given, but he wasn't fast enough and her jaws were once again securely latched on. He cursed silently and decided to tighten his own grip on her neck. If she was going to continue to fight he would fight back. There was no way she would outlast him in her condition now. He would simply have to ignore the pain in his arm until she either caved or lost consciousness from her injuries.

She took a great breath in, despite the stabbing, burning pain in her chest...and then...her air was cut off. Her eyes snapped open and she bit down harder upon his arm, hoping to rend as much muscle useless as she could by giving her head a quick, wrenching jerk back. If she tugged hard enough - despite the pain - maybe she could free herself.

If not...she had a few scant seconds to decide what to do. As much as she didn't want to let go of her grasp on his arm, if she didn't...she'd be snuffed out.

Decision made, she rolled her eyes up and went blessedly limp beneath him after several brief, stuttered moments of fight. It was difficult, to give in for her...but it would be the only way she could get him to loosen his grip on her airways.

She wouldn't have long until she actually did pass out, of course...so she hoped he'd let go. If he intended to kill her...well, she'd be gone anyway...but if he didn't, she'd give him hell...while she could, at least.

He couldn't stifle the cry as she violently ripped flesh and probably a bit of muscle from his arm, but this only caused him to squeeze tighter. He wouldn't let go until she did. He was going to win this fight and there was nothing she could do to stop him. It was a bit of a surprise though when she did give in. He had honestly expected her to put up a fight to the point of unconsciousness at least, if not death.

Quickly, he removed his paws from her neck and leaped back, avoiding putting any weight on his maimed leg. Somehow, he didn't think she was done. She wouldn't give up so easily. So he was ready, markings glowing faintly in preparation for a magical attack should she decide to try one last feeble attempt before succumbing to her wounds.

She was thankful when he released her. Selkahr drew a quiet breath, just managing to refrain from wincing, and mentally prepared herself to partially spring up at him when he leaped off of her, foiling that plan. A rumbling snarl started to shake her chest, but it was abruptly cut off by the pain. Selkahr hissed beneath her breath and concentrated a moment on blocking the pain.

Not that it worked superbly, but she managed to roll herself to her feet, bracing them unsteadily and watching Samhain with wary, pain-glazed eyes.

She would get him, even if it cost her. She would not be bested so easily.

Her wings, despite their aches and pains, were held at the ready, to flee an attack if she needed to. She took a step - ahh, even walking hurt - and then another, brow furrowing to hide the wince. She circled him slowly, talons clicking upon the floor. She eyed his markings slowly, but kept her focus upon his face, pleased to see the tears and scratches there. Especially pleased to see his leg torn. He wouldn't be using that for a while. Which would mean he would have to fly. If she could tear his wings to shreds, he would be grounded and easy prey, despite her own wounds.

Snarling and ignoring the pain as best she could, she darted towards him, keeping to the floor unless he attacked her with a spell, where dodging would be easier than if she were to leap into the air.

There it was. That second wind, of sorts, he was expecting her to have. he could tell she was feeling all the aches and pains of her injuries in the way she moved, cautiously, tenderly and stiff. Samhain watched her circle around, just as she watched him, waiting for a sign of the inevitable attack. It was coming, of that he was sure. But how she would execute it was what kept him on his toes. He couldn't afford to get caught again, even though she was in far worse condition that he was. If she managed to grab him again there was no guarantee he would get free this time.

He continued to watch her, waiting for that sign. And there it was, nothing complex or deceiving. Just a straight forward lunge at him. He had to think fast if he wanted to avoid this attack and, hopefully end this conflict. Quickly, he shoved off the ground and flapped his great wings, taking to the air and then sent the magic he was building up at her. With any luck this with hit her and rend her useless at last.
