Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You're so stupid. So, so stupid." Selena growled, punching a tree mercilessly. The trunk began to crack a little, and when she kicked it, it finally split in two. Tuin finally got back up and walked over to Eve, nudging her side. "Good, you're up. Alright then, we should get moving." She said as she nodded to her friend and they both began walking further into the forest. "Which country is the next closest?" She asked as she looked to the creature walking next to her. Tuin gave her a slight look and she sighed, hanging her head. "Well...Cirith shouldn't be so bad....just...oh who am I kidding, we're screwed..." She murmured. "It should still take two weeks, at least, so I'll probably be training a lot until then..." She said to herself, mainly to make sure she did it.

Leena nodded to her, nudging her black mare, galloping off into the night. Whistling, she shifted her grip on Roran a bit so her merlin could land on her arm, tilting her head to it as she listened to what it had to say. "She's in the forest. Vadász will lead the way." She called back, readjusting her arms grip on him, Vadász flying overhead, resting her chin on his shoulder to be sure that he wouldn't fall off of the horse. "Sebesen, run for me." She whispered into the horse's ear, watching him speed on ahead, narrowing her eyes a bit. It would take them a bit to get to the forest, but they were drawing closer, noticing a form in the distance. "Cori! Can you see something?" She asked, she glanced back, having to shift her head as Roran's head fell back against her. She waved a hand in the air, closing her fingers around the fabric that appeared, wrapping it around him.

Cori nodded, pulling up beside Leena. "I see her... Just a little closer and she'll be in range... Can the bird tell who it is?" she asked, a hand straying to her quiver. She rode with her bow strung and resting in front of her, as she always had. And she could shoot while the horse ran if needed.

Cori nodded. "Not much point in letting her stay here then." she murmured, nocking an arrow and pulling back on the string. She aimed a bit more carefully than she would normally, before letting the first fly. A second was on it's way within a second of the other. The first glanced the woman's side, the second burying itself in her stomach. Cori shot a third, this one pinning Aki to the tree, going through far enough. "Kill her now or find out what she wanted first?" she asked, setting a fourth arrow to her bow, but not firing.

Aki gasped as the first arrow hit, then the second one going through her torso as well to burry itself in a tree. She started saying a spell to get her out of there, hoping she'd have it off in time.

"Why? I didn't do anything." Aki said softly, a hand wrapping around the arrow shaft not in the tree as well. She still had the illusion up, shielding her actual appearance for now. She took a breath, steeling herself before jerking the arrow out. She let it fall to the ground, pushing her hand against the hole in her stomach.

"Yet you can pull out an arrow. Leena, get rid of her illusion?" Cori asked, dismounting as well but keeping her bow ready to fire another.

Aki glared as it was taken, doubting either wouldn't recognize her now. She didn't say anything, waiting for a chance to finish her spell.

"You know what to do." Altarion told the archers before he banished them into the shadows.

Suddenly, thirty archers appeared in the forest, fifteen shooting their arrows off at the group surrounding Aki, while the other group went after Eve.

The princess sensed the arrows coming her way and reacted quickly, both her and Tuin taking down the first string of arrows before they were able to hit them. But in the fury of the moment, a new group of people came and restrained Eve and Tuin, letting them be hit by the second string of arrows. Tuin roared in pain and Eve cried out, before shoving everyone off her and killing them.

Leena narrowed her eyes a bit, Vadász screeching as he pulled his wings back a bit, seeming to want to attack Aki when her true form was revealed. She only let her eyes flicker to Roran, she had left an enchantment so he could stay on Sebesen, but she guessed it failed, focusing completely on Aki. She was about to speak when the archers appeared, hitting the ground from the kick she received, rolling so she ended up on her feet. She managed to knock away the daggers aimed at Roran, not caring that a couple of arrows sliced across her skin. Her golden eyes flashed, touching a pin that was hidden by her cloak, a group of fighters appearing, all shouting the same spell. Ten of the archers burst into flame, Leena leaping at them with two of her swords, cutting them down quickly. "Vadász! Check on Eve and Tuin for me!" She shouted, dodging another volley aimed at them. "Joutuin , hyökkäys heidät aivan!" She called to those around her, watching as they attacked the twenty or so that were left, casting off her cloak as she darted to the nearest one that was standing, cutting him down. She made sure to remain somewhat close to Roran since he was still weakened, and yet she did it in a way so as not to damage his pride. He probably wouldn't appreciate someone coming to his protection. "Sisu jäljessä princess Pria ja Talia!" She ordered, seeing her two most trusted dart into the tree's.
