Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'll be with you in a moment, darling! I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment!"

As she was saying this, Morrigan had formed three very large hands coming from the back of her chair. They quickly shot out in independent attempts to grab Quint and smash him into the ground.

"Oh...Kay..." He said, and sat down on the steps.

"I don't know." He replied.

Quint stopped hard, the many tentacles looking very uninviting. Thinking fast, he dropped to a knee, pressing both hands against the ground. Suddenly the ground started to tremble, and a wide pillar of stone came from it, the tentacles stopped momentarily.

Using his bided time, he quickly retreated from the wall, again pressing down on the ground. This time a new weapon rose, a bow - One end with a viper's head, the entire bow topped with scales, known best as the Venoxis Sting. His quiver lied on the ground, filled with arrows with clear jagged tips.

He picked up the quiver, slinging it over his shoulder. "Fair? Please. I've been in worse. Plus.." Quint then pulled an arrow out, readying it in his bow. "You're not the only one with tricks up their sleeves." With that, he fired, aiming not for Morrigan, but for the pole that she was using.

Rioushu was just walking to see if he could actually meet and talk to Morrigan, wanting to see if his nervousness around her was really just fear, but instead he heard a bunch of fighting inside and decided to enter.

Morrigan was nearly at ground level by the time Quint had launched his volley of arrows, so the shield around her legs would not help her. In fact, they helped to constrain her as the first of Quint's arrows pierced her right arm; pinning it to her chair. She managed to tilt her chair backwards in order to block the rest of the arrows before they too could pierce her.

"Yea, you better!" Quint yelled to the bystander of the battle. He landed, running past the man as he yelled again, "Mainly because this fight has a lot longer to go!"

Morrigan being pinned down allowed Quint to get close without much worry, the tentacles way behind them both. By now he had gotten rid of his bow, his hands free to fight the way he wanted - bare handed.

"Hello darling." Quint calmly called to Morrigan as he reached the black chair. He saw the arrow in her arm, frowning a little. The frown faded as his right arm erupted in flame, and right before releasing the stream of fire upon Morrigan, he spoke to her again.

"This hurts me more than it hurts you."

The ground under them was scorched before the flames even touched it.

Morrigan raised her arm in defense from Quint's attack, though it didn't do much good. The flames barreled down on her for a full second before Rioushu's knife grazed Quint's arm, giving a moment of pause. By this time, ALL of her bats had instinctively begun to retract back to her from all directions, like a massive dark waterfall with Morrigan being the center of gravity. It surrounded and engulfed both of them, forming a large black mound on the ground, in which both of them became encased, though sealed from each other. Though Morrigan realized that Quint was probably sealed away somewhere in there with her, her attention was focused on healing from the concussive shock of the attack.

Though the material the bats formed around them was extremely hard, it was not as hard as it normally was due to it's present healing nature. Therefore, it was not impossible to break though; that is, if you could build some momentum within your body with which to strike it. However, Quint had been left with zero moving space, and therefore zero breathing space. If he wanted to get out quickly, either he would need some kind of explosive force, or someone strong would have to help him from the outside.
