Elistral tried to squirm out of the way to avoid Reaper's punch but she couldn't move in time. The first hit was like an iron ball had hit her in the stomach, and the second only amplified the blaring pain. She gasped for breath and tried to kick at Reaper's knee with one foot, the other braced on his hip, trying to curse at the same time. Then she heard Sylvia running. "D-Don't..."

"But Elistral!" Sylvia grinded to a halt reluctantly, gitting her teeth in sheer horror as Reaper continued his assault.
Reaper laughed with delight, getting louder and more menacing with each hit. "Please elf, admit it. I'm going to beat you to death and then when your precious Strider gets here i'll beat him to death too, then your pretty mother. Then his family will be dead too!" Reaper was about to punch Elistral again when a sword went straight through his own stomach.
"Not if I kill you first." Demios had recovered and had stabbed Reaper while he was preoccupied.
Reaper looked down at the sword poking through and dropped Elistral like a sac. "If your gonna stab someone," Reaper grabbed the sword and pulled it into himself deeper. "You gotta do better than that."
Demios pulled out the sword and rolled around another back hand over the Elistral. "You okay?"

Elistral laid crumpled on the ground for a few moments after she fell. When she stood up she had one hand pressed to her sore stomach, picking her sword up where she'd dropped it and leaning on it. "I will be...fine..." She gasped to Demios, spitting to the side. Truthfully, it was hard concentrating when her stomach burned. "Mother, I'm...As long as we keep him occupied..." Elistral trailed off and gritted her teeth. "Demios...we need to kill him, before Strider gets here." Painfully, she stood up and lifted her sword again, electricity sparking on her sword again.

Demios looked at Elistral, she was in no condition to fight now. "Your in no condition to fight Elistral." Demios inched forward, prepared to attack.
"He's right. You can't fight like this." Sylvia was standing behind them, also ready to attack.

"I...suppose you are right." Elistral let her sword drop, breathing heavily. She released the magic in her sword and backed away, dropping down to sit soon after, tired. "Just...Just don't get hurt, either."

"Sylvia, get her out of here." Demios kept his eyes on Reaper as he spoke, not trusting the mechanical man.
"But Demios...!" Sylvia tried to protest but Demios put up a hand.
"She's just going to get in the way if she stays here and we can't all take her away. I can't fight him and protect others at the same time." Demios had a fighting look in his eye. He was ready to battle to the death if need be.
Sylvia looked from Reaper to Demios. "Very well. You better come back so I can yell at you later!" Sylvia picked up Elistral, Sylvia may be small but she was strong. She carried Elistral to her horse and put her on and hopped on herself.

Elistral closed her eyes when black spots began to dance across her vision. "I am...sorry." She muttered laying her head on the horse's neck.
"Agh!" Crow stood up on his toes as his arm was wrenched painfully behind his back. Zeke took off into the air, cawing angrily.
Rore shoved him forward, forcing the demon into a walk. He felt like he had a concussion from the constant smacking of the rapier hilt against his skull. "Alright, now that you're my prisoner I don't have to kill you. So...walk!" He steered him in the direction he'd last seen Jake in.
"I'll, uh, I'll follow you," Fenrir trotted down the hill next to Sylvia's horse. "I don't like to get in the way. And there's still a battle going on, after all."

Demios looked at Sylvia and nodded and turned back to Reaper. "So, now that all the distractions are gone, should we start over?"
Sylvia turned her horse and trotted off towards the keep. She may not have been able to fight Reaper but at least she had saved her only child from certain death. She hoped Demios would be okay. She was in thought when she saw a man running towards the hill, Strider. She turned off to get to him. "Azeois, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to go and finish this." He then noticed Elistral. "Elistral! Is she okay?!"
"She should be fine. Demios saved her. He's still up there, fighting." They then both heard an audiable clash from on top of the hill.
Strider looked at the top of the hill, as if he could see what was happening. "I have to go there. This must stop. Keep her safe. If I die, she's all that's left of me." Strider brushed Elistral's hair aside lovingly and turned towards the hill.

"Nn..." Elistral cracked open one eye just in time to see a flash of red go by. For whatever reason Jake had and hadn't told, Strider must not get to Reaper. She hoped his judgement was correct. Also hoping that Demios still carried her ring, she sent a mental image to him of Strider before she felt tired and queasy once again.

Demios caught a mental image of Strider, heading his way. "Looks like we'll have to make this quick." Demios dodged a powerful punch and countered with a swing with his tail.
Reaper side stepped the tail swing and punched again, this time Demios blocked it with his sword. "How long did you plan on taking to beat me?" Reaper slumpped down under a wide swing from Demios' sword and kicked at him.
"Before Strider gets here." Demios bounced back to dodge the kick and spun to swing with his tail as well. Reaper backed away from the tail and Demios tossed up his blade and, catching it with his tail, swung again, continuing to spin.
The slash hit Reaper directly on the chest, ripping into his metal skin and cutting his clothing. "Damn, that tail seems to be very effective."
"Wait!" Sylvia had lost him once and he didn't feel like losing him again, but if he had to go then she wanted to make sure he would return.
Strider smiled up at her. "What is it?"
Sylvia bent down, grabbing Strider's face and kissed him on the lips. "You better come back this time."
Strider touched Sylvia hand as she sat back up. "I won't leave you this time." Strider turned and kept moving towards the hill.
((Had to XD))

((Daw, watch out for that rock! *clunk!*))
Elistral groaned softly when her stomach gave another heave.
"Hm...let's, keep going then," Fenrir jogged past the stationary horse, stuffing something into his jacket pocket. He'd taken it off a few moments before. "Battle's still raging..."
"You know, you're awfully considerate to me though I'm your enemy." Crow commented to Rore, trying to ignore his poor twisted arm's screaming.
Rore ducked as Zeke swooped down at his head. "Not everyone should be violent." He could see Jake through the crowd, passed out on the ground, and Gorash unmoving as well.

"Okay." Sylvia continued on the horse trotting just fast enough to stay even with Fenrir. "Will they be okay?"

"Hm?" Fenrir glanced behind them at the hill where the battle was taking place. Then he looked back at Sylvia, seeing her expectant expression. "...Well depending on their actions, it'll work out whatever way it's meant to. Even I don't know things right now." He looked away, squeezing his pocket watch tightly. "So, just hope for the best, really." Fenrir grinned up at the elf.
"Just stay here," Rore added pointedly before calling over a few of the resting defenders. He left them to keep a very close eye on Crow while he walked over to Gorash.

Demios switched the sword back and forth between his hand and tail making a sort of blade whirlwind.
Reaper continued to step back, not wanting to catch the blade of that sword. "Ugh! I can't get close! Enough!" Reaper reared back and slammed his fist into the ground, cracking it. He lifted up his fist bringing a large clump of earth with it, throwing it at Demios.
Demios was forced to roll away, giving Reaper time to close the gap, delivering a strong blow to Demios' face. All Demios could do was swing with his tail, knocking Reaper back. it gave Demios enough time to stand up and bring his sword up when he came again.
"Come on dragon! You've killed two of my lackies by yourself before so why can't you beat me?" Reaper punched, sending a shockwave of air, knocking Demios back. Reaper was about to advence when he ducked a lightning bolt headed for his head. "He's here..."
Strider came over the lip of the hill with his shining sword ready. "It's time to end this once and for all Reaper."
"Took the words right outta my mouth." Reaper put up his fists to Strider, ready.

((Just realized that Silvia was spelled with an i earlier, not a y. lol))
"Looks like the healing tent's got its hands, or cots, full right now," Upon arriving closer to Salim, Fenrir had peeked into the cloth structure. "Not that it's not entirely much safer inside Salim, but I figure it's less crazy in there than out here. We can take a healer with us if you want to go." He glanced back at Silvia, waiting for her answer.
((Maybe it's better with a y.))
