A vast meadow in an unidentified part of the land, this area is neutral territory for those within. Many do not know of this location but for those who have no care for race or creed, and it is mostly used as a common ground but also a fighting ring. The meadow stretches so wide that there is much left unscathed by large claw and sword marks, and the participants here have yet to reach the forest with their antics.

Emilia von Kaiserxxxxxx. ➥Royal Guard
An empty meadow, she had arrived too early. Emilia in fact meant to come in last to get a good feel on her enemy's ability's and skills. Well It didn't matter now did it. She shrugged as it a raindrop hit her head, it seemed that it could maybe rain. It didn't effect her so it mattered not, however while she was waiting it wouldn't hurt to rest in the tree. She smiled as she got up into the tree and found a nice place to stretch out on its branches. "And now I shall wait." With that she simply relaxed, taking in her surroundings and watching. The tree wasn't the biggest so it was lucky that she was a small person. The tree's branches held her weight nicely and it gave her high ground should someone try to attack her. She looked up at the sky, she thought perhaps it would rain but by the looks of it, it was a simple fluke.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mei's tiny form could be seen from miles if one had good eyesight, a keen sense of smell, or was perched atop a high vantage point to see into the tall grass. She didn't seem to be trying to hide though, actually she seemed like she wasn't paying attention to possibly being attacked in the least, and the girl was humming quite loudly as she skipped through the meadow. It had been some time since she had greeted the others here and she wondered if there would be any newcomers this time around.
Her feet were bare and they squished in the dirt, making Mei smile as she looked downward while she skipped, and had almost made it to the tree before stopping and poking her toes into the soft earth.
"I like dirt," she said to herself, unbeknownst to her that someone was in the tree, "dirt is squishy." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...For out of the ground we were taken... for the dust we are...
In the tall grass not meters from the tree laid a tal blond haired man. He was outstretched and his legs were crossed atop one another. His right arm back behind his his giving himself a pillow. His left hand was above him holding a small orb of fire a soft smile and loving gaze cast to it. The orb suddenly shifted its eyes peeking out over Surtrs fingers to look down at Surtr. "Have a nice nap little light?" Surtr inquired playfully. Though his sweet talk would be cut short hearing the voice of another.
The man rose to his feet not using his arms or legs to do so but rising as if the wind compelled him to. He smiled softly at the petite dragon as if entertained by her cute disposition. "The dirt is quite nice here.." He spoke attempting to garner her attention. He too was barefoot, something Surtr did often when traveling it allowed him to feel the earth and get a better sense of the land he was moving through. He has seen the little vamp scurry up into the tree but her aloof nature caused him to ignore her. He would leave her be if desired.
He set the little flaming ball of fire atop his head as it peered down at Mei curious about the newcomer. Surtr was wearing brown pants and a white button up shirt with a rather illustrious coat atop it. The attire was a bit too formal for Surtrs taste but it was either this or wear a crown. So he happily settled for the cost, even if it was a tad austentatious. Two golden suns embroidered each side of the neck collar, another stipulation of his council. It was the least conspicuous was for Surtrs title to be known. Though he had just gained this position so he hoped he would still go unnoticed by most.
First was the dragon girl who actually didn't even recognize that Emilia was in the tree above her. She talked about dirt, ******** dirt. The girl was cute and bout as small as Emilia. Though somehow she still had a chest, which made her irritated. Then there was the other, with the look of a mage. Go and behold what was it that he said, he talked about dirt. She was starting to think that maybe either they were both really stupid or they were playing a joke on her. Least the mage noticed her, it was quite clear that he wasn't unobservant. Well she my as well jump down and show herself, though she wonder if landing on the girl would be smart. "I'm surrounded by idiots." Emilia said jumping down and landing right on Mei, it ended up with Mei on the ground facing Emilia and Emilia on top of her. She looked down to most likely surprised dragon girl. "Hope you don't mind, you looked really comfortable. In all seriousness though, I don't suppose I could have some of your blood? I'm kinda thirsty and I'm certainly not gonna drink from some pervert looking kind of guy." She motioned over to Surtr not caring that she had said that in front of him.
Who: A vampire and maybe a mage! || Where: The Neutral Meadow || Thoughts: Oo pretty people || Ambience: Keep Your Eyes Open OOC: ||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mei's cornflower orbs traveled downward when she heard a soft voice cooing to something. She would have bent her form low so that her hands were playing in the dirt if not for a man rising from the tall grass almost directly in front of her. Instead she smiled wide at his reply, about to make her own when something lithe made itself resident on her shoulders. Cocking her head and looking upward, she blinked a few times as she saw a smaller girl sitting upon her.
Making an "oomph" sound, Mei quickly fell onto her back so that she could get a better view of the newcomer, and laughed at the girl's response. "I am very comfortable! You can sit for as long as you like." She hummed to herself and wiggled slightly before another question was asked. Cocking her head again, she brandished her arm immediately before slitting her wrist with a sharp nail. "Well if you're thirsty, you can take however much as you want! It'll make you feel really good."
Moving her body upward as she stood on her head to peer towards the gentleman, making sure the girl on top of her could still touch the ground with her tiptoes, Mei looked rather excited to see the living flame now atop his head. She didn't much care for his clothes, but then who was she to talk seeing as she wore practically nothing, and she pondered if he would take it off if they were to battle.
Instead she inquired with her hand still in the air for the vampire, "The dirt is even better if you lay down like this! Hey, are you a mage? Did you conjure that light?" She may have been naive, but she wasn't too dumb in the ways of the world and those who lived in it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...For out of the ground we were taken... for the dust we are...
Suddenly the young woman burst from the trees landing atop the youthful dragon straddling her. She seemed to request blood and spoke of Surtr as if he was a pervert. He shook his head chuckling softly. "Yeah your straddling her and trying to suck her blood and yet I'm the perve." Surtr said softly, he was teasing Emilia by pointing out that out of the three she was by far the most perverse.
As he looked at both of them his playful smirk remained as he glanced upward to the orb atop his head. "Why is it every woman in the world wears such little clothing.... " he mused, as he contemplated the idea the little orb on his head would turn a bright pink as if it was embarrassed by the thoughts running through Surtrs head. His attention snapped back to Mei as she seemed to inquire about it. "You're correct. This is Saga, my little light." He said playfully and softly as if he held a soft spot for the thing.
His fiery eyes seemed to look at the women wondering how this was going to play out. A vampire a dragon and a mage, sounds like the start of an entertaining joke. Though Surtr surmised there would be little humor to be had from the vampire she seemed disinterested to say the least. Though this dragon interested him, she seemed to emanate whimsy. As if she was just a child, a rather curious thing; a rarity in this world to be sure. He seemed to tower over the two being at least a foot taller than both of them. "If you're going to have some blood don't drain her, she looks like she has a fighting spirit. I'd hate for her to be at a disadvantage...." Surtr said softly requesting Emilia not to take too much. He'd sooner offer his own blood then let a potential combatant be so weakened. Surtr came her often to fight and he would be very disappointed if such a cheerful one lost that spark.
Trudging through with a hateful stare, Bestiae prowled with heavy steps, towering well over the others in the field. Seeing the strange situation ahead, he snarled out, "The ******** are you pissants doing? I came to brawl, not to talk about feelings and get all touchy-feely." Licking his vicious teeth, he grinned with a bloodthirsty look at the group, the scent of the girl's blood driving him mad already. Charging forward, Bestiae roared out, shifting into his transformed state as he barreled toward the group, aiming to slam a large clawed hand down on them as he trampled by.
RACIAL POWERS:
Monstrous Strength – With the sheer amount of muscle contained within his body, his jaws and claws are capable of tearing through solid steel as easily as flesh, and is capable of gargantuan feats of strength such as uprooting large trees from the ground and crushing solid stone. Reptilian Ancestry – Having deep connections to various breeds of reptiles, he shares many of their traits and defenses. Severed limbs will slowly be replaced over time; thick, dense scales cover his body, providing moderate defense against impacts and minor defense against cuts; thermal vision at the cost of losing color and detail. These are all racial traits born from reptilian ancestry. Of course, not everything inherited from the reptiles is beneficial, as his cold-blooded body type makes traversing cold climates problematic, and even his lower metabolism proves troublesome at times when he needs to use large amounts of energy in a short time span. Predatory Bloodlust – Aroused by the scent of blood, any hint of it will send him in a frenzy, serving to prime his body to peak physical performance as he tracks down the wounded and dead to feast and kill without discrimination between friend and foe.
Emilia looked at Surtr with a disgusted look. "I have never seen a girl who was a perv and besides that there is nothing wrong with what I am doing. We are both girls here so whats wrong with me being near her? I would agree if I did that to you it would me I was quite the pervert. However its obvious by your lecherous glances what you are thinking. Perv." She then noted the arrival of the newcomer who was obviously gun hoe from the start. He would be a boring fight though, she could tell.by his appearance. He was no dragon, no mage and he was certainly no vampire, nope he was just one of those were beasts. She would leave him to the mage, his talents would make it a more interesting match. She then spoke to Surtr with a cute little smile. "Hey Mr. Pervy Sage or Mage or whatever you like to be called. I think you get to battle him, its only fair that the girls get paired up and the guys get paired up. I'm sure you'll do great good luck." With that she turned back to her other friend, jumping quite the distance away with her to let Surtr handle him. Now they were far out of the way of the charge.
Emilia bit into the arm that Mei had offered her, drinking her blood. She spoke some words that were murmured a bit by the fact she had her mouth against the dragon girls arm."ey...wha...do...ou....thin....bot....teamin....up." It would be a bit hard to understand but hopefully Mei would get the gist of it. In truth if she refused Emilia had her in a vulnerable position, pretty much it was team up or get turned into a servant and have to team up anyways. Though in truth she would prefer it be the first option. The girls blood was delicious though, it was certainly rare to get dragons blood.
Who: A vampire, a mage, and a lizard man! || Where: The Neutral Meadow || Thoughts: Head is fuzzy- oh someone to play with! || Ambience: Keep Your Eyes Open OOC: ||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dragon girl wasn't too perturbed the the words the vampire and mage were throwing about and instead was still looking at the little ball of fire. Her eyes seemed to grow stars in them as she gasped, amazed by the brilliance of something so mundane, and she would have clapped in accordance if not for her hand being seized by a petite one.
Mei didn't even wince when she felt the small sharp teeth penetrate through the slit that she had made in her wrist. Her head felt fuzzy for a moment as the blood rushed through her ears, but her mind turned to a very tall, very buff newcomer. Her lazy eyes blinked slowly as she watched the man turn into a large lizard thing and charged toward them.
Huffing out a breath as they were both moved away from the attack, Mei had longing in her eyes as she watched the lizard man charge. She allowed the vampire to continue her feast, no real need to stop her, while her other hand went up to her chin. She was crossed legged on the ground, but was still able to see the hulking form of the werebeast, and looked over to the vampire with sadness in her eyes.
"If you're almost done can we go fight now, please?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...For out of the ground we were taken... for the dust we are...
As Surtr was about to speak suddenly a giant creature appeared and began to lumber towards them. He was obviously all riled up and intended on exerting some of that frustration. His brutish words were lost on Surtr and he would deal with him in a minute. His attention turned to the vampire, he could see through this little facade she was putting on. It was shallow at best and an act that had been played out by a much more skilled hand than this. As she said her piece about him being a perv his eyes rolled. "You know full well you're the perv here..." He said as she too seemed to notice the creature offering him up to Surtr to handle. "Surtr will suffice. little one." Surtr teased commenting on her stature and child like appearance. She seemed to be the type who would respond well to that.
As she jumped quite the distance Surtr would jump with her easily being able to keep up, using a good boost of his telepathy to send him flying with her almost moving in unison with the duo like it was a dance of sorts. As she began to drink the blood Surtr smirked moving with impressive speed and reaching out to touch Mei's shoulder. As he did Emilia would suddenly phase through Mei plopping onto the ground and her mouth no longer drinking the young drakes blood. Surtr would then leap away still holding Mei's shoulder before letting it go so that she'd be standing next to the mage now. "Tag... you're it..." He whispered to mei gently and playfully poking her forehead before dashing off. The little flame on his head would look back at the dragon girl and stick out its tongue as if to taunt her to follow.
Surtr was now heading for the great beast charging fully intending for the dragon to pursue him. She was too playful to resist something like that at least he hoped. The vampire seemed like she would be the most annoying, despite her childlike appearance and "harmless" demeanor he surmised she was no cake walk.
As he closed in on the monstrosity before him Surtr would dive forward flames bursting from the soles of his feet allowing him jet through the gap between Bestiae's legs. Surtr would then plant his feet beneath him and skid to a stop turning to face the trio. He wondered who's attention he managed to maintain, would the vampire come after him for taking her prey? Would the dragon attempt to play the game? Would the monster continue after him? Any combination of the three aforementioned could occur, though one thing was likely. Surtr was about to have some fun.
As the group leapt out of his reach, Bestiae sluggishly turned, his momentum carrying his body to skid and gash at the supple earth as he changed his course to barrel at them again, slamming his side into the tree they had been near. The clever mage had managed to get behind him, but he paid it no mind, he was after the bleeding girl. Rushing toward her, the massive reptilian brought his arms up before smashing them down together with claws outstretched, aiming to grab Mei if he didn't outright break her.

You know Emilia could forgive the guy for his little quips, calling her a perv which she wasn't. She could forgive him for even taking away a good meal, but he had to make the kid joke. She hated that most of all, and that was enough reason to kill his a**. She stood up slowly looking behind her to see where Surtr was. Then it was as if she had disappeared in the blink of an eye. As to where she now was, it was behind Surtr her sword already swinging at his waist. She had done it in one single motion and it was unlikely that Surtr even knew what happened. He may have been a mage but he was still technically human. He seemed not to have any speed up spell, or reaction spell either. Least it was no in effect yet, so reason stood that he would get hit by said blade. "Hope you can you do that trick forever or else you aren't going to last." She said after the strike, regardless of if it hit or not.
Improved Strength and Speed: Vampires possess strength and speed much higher than that of a human, complete with incomparable grace, a different sort than the animalistic fluid nature of lycanthropes. Older vampires have greater power and speed than younger. Vampires often seem much faster than they truly are, however – with their mind tricks, they can be across the room in what seems like an eye-blink. Neonate/Fledgling - they can harness 15% person of their vampire strength Infancy - they can harness 30% of their vampire strength Elementrary - they can harness 45% of their vampire strength Adolescence- they can harness 60% of their vampire strength Young Adult - they can harness 75% of their vampire strength Adult - they can harness 90% of their vampire strength Elder.- they can harness 100% of their vampire strength
Who: A vampire, a mage, and a lizard man! || Where: The Neutral Meadow || Thoughts: Taaaag! || Ambience: Keep Your Eyes Open OOC: ||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mei was still looking rather grumpy as she watched the lizard man still barreling for them and no one even trying to stop him. It would take one good punch, one really really good punch, and boom he'd be flying across the area like a kite! The blood that was rushing through her ears was more from the draining than the icy adrenaline that should have been coursing through her veins, and she hoped the little vampire would be done soon so she could play.
Her dreams were answered when the tall mage bent low to her and touched her shoulder. It felt like nothing for the vampire to phase through her, and before she knew it she was standing right beside Surtr- as he had introduced- before he tapped her forehead. The girl tilted her head as she watched the mage dash away before a creepy smile slowly appeared on her features when she saw the little flame stick its tongue out at her.
Instantly she became so giddy, she had forgotten that her wound had healed just as the vampire's fangs had left her skin, and Mei readied herself to run. Her feet left the ground swiftly, a small crater being created behind her where her foot had been, and she moved fast to catch up to Surtr. The smile was still on her lips, her short hair flying behind her, and she reared back her fist and let the momentum carry her as she hopped lightly into the air.
"Tag!" she cried as she let her fist fly. Either she would hit the lizard man that was in front of Surtr now (or simply get crushed underneath the large things hands), the mage himself if the beast dodged, or Emilia's swinging sword behind him; either way she would be making a large crater with her attack even if it struck the ground. The air would fill with laughter after she yelled, and she was rather happy and carefree to be playing such a fun game! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...For out of the ground we were taken... for the dust we are...
Surtr was running away but his little orb of fire was being a good little sentry and the moment a body moved Surtr was able to be phased. A good thing at that as a blade found itself going through him and swinging past. "Christ she is fast...." He mused softly as suddenly his second set of eyes reported that the dragon was there too. There was about to be a collision of muscle and Surtr would continue to get out of there.
He was still active in his spell meaning he couldn't be touched. He would skid to a stop now facing the group, many small concentric groups of telepathic barriers would find themselves surrounding Surtr and extending outward to about 10 meters from him. Not only would this allow him to sense those coming within close proximity but it would slow them down enough for him to react without getting cut in half. Fire began to swirl and form he was obviously taking this bout more serious now. The fire should work well against the vampire but the remaining two he could be in trouble for. These barriers should suffice but there was always the possibility that he underestimated them.
He was now around twenty meters from the trio and he would throw three normal looking daggers each with a strange mark on their handle. Besides the mark there was nothing out of the ordinary and they could easily be dodged or block by people of this caliber.
