Luniya quickly scurried up a tree to avoid all the commotion on ground. An arrow had struck her through her arm, thankfully it had no gunpowder on it. That elf had released a pair of beasts almost like the ones they faced before. She doused all the fire with her water element and jumped out of the tree. She heard Lin's plea for help and and gave her some of her own energy. Then, she proceeded to slowly remove the arrow. She couldn't smell a thing due to all of the smoke and ash but, hopefully Lin's animals could track down Sorrow.

Demidom [Demon both of the two archers are female. And your character is no where near them. I kind of feel like a few of you are just skimming my posts because they are long. Aisu keep in mind the geomance wrapped ivy on your character. Also can you give it a rest with the animals? It was fine the first time, but when they ran suddenly more animals and ghosts of animals are chasing them. C'mon. Sorry just these things are buging me. Btw Aisu you can control the two beasts, I just needed something as a distraction for my evil npcs.] [Ah, the female bit escaped my mind, as for the rest, I also forgot exactly what happened, I thought they where waiting in ambush for us, so I assumed they where closer. I'll make a new post, I'll delete the old one] ---- "Oh...s**t" Flint said, rolling so he would stay sitting on the branch. He watched Usrah go agro while Luniya hopped up into a tree. "Note, do NOT get Usrah mad" he said with a laugh. He then noticed her cut and stopped. "Are you ok?" he asked, seeing the arrow. [Wow...I am the master of short, seat of the pants posts. Woo! I think.]

Ashe placed the two earrings in her pack and looked up. She sighed and scratched her head. "Looks like my curiosity got away again." She shifted into her dragon form and followed Usrah into the sky. She followed the sound of the fight and landed near Lin. She wrapped her body around the elf's and lightly touched her nose to the staff. My element's wind, not ice. But this fight is my fault, I'll give you all the power I can. She closed her eyes and sent out her energy towards Lin, trying not to over flood the elf.

(Elves work with animals, and talking with them for help is part of Lin's skills. Oh, and I always read your posts. Though I forgot my character had ivy or whatever it is wrapped around her. This post should fix that though.)
The animals followed as far as they dared, but soon practically all of them went back to what they were doing before. The spirits of the dead animals simply faded away, and crossed over. Eventually, only Moondust, and two other white tigers were tracking the enemies. Even with the help of her friends, Lin felt her legs giveway, and she sat on the ground, on her knees still holding the staff, this was too much, even with her friends help. She weakened the spell lightly, and aimed it at the beast. As soon as she could, she let the power loose. Even though she had some of the help of a few companions, the spell was still strong enough to hit the creatures and cause a fair bit of damage. But it wasn't enough to destroy them completely.
After she had used the spell, the staff dissapeared and she slumped over. She groaned, then laid down, and looked up at the sky. It was getting dark she noted. Even with the cold power she used, the weather completely went back to normal, and there was only a little water, where there once was ice, and frost.
"You guys can finish those beasts, I can't handle anymore."
Her voice was weak, and soon she had fallen asleep, curled up in a ball. Even though she hadn't seemed to notice it earlier, she had ivy wrapped around her still. This would explain why she couldn't move so much.
----------------------
Shiango stood up, then walked over to the fallen lying on the ground. He bent down next to her to check her pulse. He wondered if she would even be any use. He stood up, and looked at Shift.
"Usrah you say, isn't he the elder that my ancestors were killed by, after they killed the one he loved?"
A cruel smirk crossed his face.
"If that is the right man, then you have done me a great favour by finding him. He was always interfering with my family's plans, even 9000 years ago, before I was around. But I know all about him, and what he did in the past."
His expression turned cold, and he rested a hand on his sword hilt.
"He will pay for killing my ancestors, and constantly interfering in our plans."
"Shift, you have done a good job, you are probably one of my most trustworthy, and useful followers. As for the gun powder, I will send some men to bring it all back here. With it, we can make powerful weapons."
He turned his back away from shift, and sat down on his throne still facing him.
"As for your next task, I want you to get into the elf kingdom. Find, and destroy, the Windshire Manor. The family there is a constant pain in my neck, I won't have them planning to join our enemies. As for this group you tell me of; if they are strong as you say, I think I should send more men to destroy them. You won't get that job, you are my most powerful follower so far, and your special quests are all I want you to do."
Shiango stood up once more, and held his sword up in front of his face. He aimed it at Shift, and made a new wand appear in front of him.
"This should prove very useful for the quests I will give you. Go now Shift, and use that new item to destroy that elven Manor."
"Loris, come here."
The little ugly man walked all the way up to his master, and bowed.
"Yes master?"
"I want you to get some men together, and take the fallen to the brain washing crystal. You know where it is, and how to work it. I believe this fallen could come in very handy. Her friends will be looking for her, and we can use that to our advantage."
"Right away master"
Loris quickly got more ugly creatures like himself, together, they carried the unconsious body of the fallen with them, and exited the throne chamber. They made their way down a long winding hall, and into a large room, with a strange crystal case centered in the middle of it. They placed the falled inside the crystal, and dark chains held her there. After this, they closed the case and locked it, before moving over to a strange object, and pressing some magical symbols. The crystal case began to glow, the brain washing had began.
Shiango sat back down again, put his sword away, and began to carve something out of a strange metal. His hobby for when he had nothing else to do, was to create more special weapons for his followers. Well the ones that were most useful to him.
"Voltax, come here!"
A slim grey skinned dark elf, with pointed ears, and demonic armor appeared next to Shiango. He had no eyes, and his empty eye sockets were covered by a blood stained cloth.
"Yes master?"
"Bring me some more slaves, my pets grow hungry"
"Right away master"
The dark elf dissapeared shortly after he answered his master.

A portal tore through space and time, appearing in the clearing of a beautiful forest. A figure jumped from the portal and landed upon the ground gracefully. It was a man; tall, strong, and had the eyes, ears, and tail of a wolf. He was dressed in simple clothing and did not appear to carry anything on his person. As the portal closed behind him, the placed his hands upon his hips and smiled.
"I'm home. I'm finally home."
With that, the man flew into the air, sensing a dark presence off in the distance.

(I guess I better play the beasts. Though like before, everyone can do some damage to them and control them. But Demidom is going to have to say how they die. Seeing as he made them appear.)
The wings beats roared in pain as the ice ripped into their skin, and scratched their entire bodies. This made them angrier, and only weakened them a little. They gowled, then leapt into the air, and began to fly with their dark leathery black wings. These beasts were more powerful, and more advanced then the previous ones. A stronger power was what controlled them, evolved them, and strengthened them. The beasts growled, and flew down at the people below, scratching with their paws at them, and snapping at them, as well as swinging their spiked tails at them. They were masters in flight, but weaker on the ground.

Flint, still interested in Usrah's rampage, heard the din of a battle. It was faint, but it was there.
And it was close.
He looked around him, noticing most of his companions had left. The new girl had, Lin, Ashe...
He looked over to Luniya. "How's your arm?" he asked again, reaching for his knife.
"Can it hold up in combat?" he added.

A powerful howl erupted from the surrounding forest and it seemed to come from all directions. Suddenly, a humanoid figure appeared, leaping from the mass of trees, and heading straight for one of the winged beasts. The figure drew back its arm and lashed at the beast with a mighty punch to the side of the face. As the fist connected, the sound of thunder echoed from the connection point. The beast had been caught completely off guard and spun about in mid air from the force of the punch. It fell hard to the ground, but managed to stand after regaining its senses. The figure that struck the beast landed upon the ground a few feet away from it. At the point, the others could clearly see what this figure was. The werewolf smiled at them, as though he was the happiest person alive.
"Hi! I'm Elgarez Moonoath and it seems like you've got a nasty problem. I see you've already met my brother, Usrah."
Elgarez then prepared himself for the beast's retaliation, taking on an unfamiliar stance, and bringing his hands into points, which soon began to crackle with eletricity.

Luniya nodded her head to Flint, as she rotated her arm in a small circular motion. "I'll be fine." Then, a whole was heard. It was very strong. She smelled another werewolf and suddenly seen a handsome looking figure strike one of the beasts. Luaniya's eyes grew wide from his display of strength. She was even more surprised when he announced himself to be Usrah's brother. She then cleaned her wound with water and ready to go.
Luniya raised one of her hands in a swift, swooping motion to make a stream of water. She took some green dust from a pouch she carried with her and mixed it in with the water, it was an almost deadly poison. Then, she used her control over wind to turn the stream of water into ice by blowing it with her breath. She made about twelve ice spears in this manner. She threw three of them at the same beast that Elgarez had punched. One of the spears struck the beast in the neck, but the other two missed. As soon as the ice melts the beast should be injured greatly. And with all the heat from the fire earlier it should melt pretty fast hopefully.Luniya pulled out her short sword and stood ready to strike. "Hey Flint, how about you jump on my back so I can get you closer," she suggested.

Flint raised an eyebrow at her suggestion, but decided it was a good idea.
"Yeah, I guess" he said, feeling a little awkward as he hopped on her back, locking his left arm around her neck, putting enough force to keep him held on but not interfere with her breathing. Using his right hand, he readied his dagger.
"Alright, lets kick some a**!" he shouted, grinning wildly.

Usrah's blade returned to his hands. The elves were impossible to find and his anger had subsided. Just then, he felt a familiar presence, one of purity and power. He flew down towards Elgarez, his eyes bright and happy.
"Brother El! You have returned!"
His excitement quickly turned to anger as he looked upon the wounded winged beast. He spun his blade in an intricate display and drove the sword deep into the beast's side. The beast roared in pain as the divine blade pierced its flesh. Usrah removed the sword and stood back, hoping the creature would die.
-----
Elgarez laughed as Usrah drove his sword into the beast.
"Well met, Brother Ussy. You've greatly improved since we last saw each other."
He looked at the beast carefully and snapped his fingers while studying it. The answer soon came to him.
"This little bugger's a Vethinger's critter, from the looks of it. I thought you would have beaten the snot out of those ol' bastards by now."
-----
Usrah shrugged his shoulders.
"Trust me, I did kill many of them. Apparently, one still remains. However, I assume that this final Vethinger is young, much younger than ourselves. His power will be no match for us."
He glanced over at Luniya and Flint, then turned his attention back to Elgarez.
"These are a few of my current party members. The girl is named Luniya and the gnome goes by Flint."
-----
Elgarez raised an eyebrow at the strange teamwork Flint and Luniya were currently engaged in. Nevertheless, he found Luniya to be to his liking.
"I see. A pair of young adventurers, eh? This should prove to be very interesting."

It had been easy to avoid the attacks of the beasts even with her lowered speed and tired muscles, but before she could really do anything the fight was taken over by a werewolf and one of the others from the group. What was his name? Usrah? So why was he being called Ussy? Tyr shifted slightly, seemingly curling herself inward as if to avoid being seen or even noticed. She was tired but she pulled out her dagger in case one of those beasts came near her.

Lin eventually opened her eyes, she hadn't rested much, and was going in, and out of consiousness constantly. She looked at one beast which was nearly dead, but looking up, she noticed the other had seen her. It began to move in towards her, with its jaw wide open ready to eat her whole. She tried to move, but the ivy was still wrapped tight around her, and her body wasn't doing what she wanted it to do. She glared at the beast, it was moving closer, but instead of eating her, it landed above her, and stood over her, as if making a trap to lure in her allies, or guarding her from the other beast, so she would be its meal instead.
None of this was true however, she watched as some strange tendrils were beginning to exit the creatures body, the tendrils of darkness destroyed the ivy, and then grabbed her. She was held in front of the beast, so that she had a clear view of its red eyes. The tendrils tightened around her, making it hard for her to breath, and the creature had opened its mouth. It was breathing on her, hot stinking breath that could easily make one gag. She tried to hold her breath, but it was hard enough to breath being held so tightly by the tendrils. Instead, she simply put up with the smell.
What an uncomfortable postion to be in, ready to be eaten, with stinking breath in the face. I can hardly breath. A little help, guys...
After a short while, she slowly fell back into unconsiousness, and was a limp figure amoung the beasts tendrils, with its breath hot on her face. The dark tendrils drained her even more of her energy, darkness was a weakness of hers, since it was the opposite to her light element.

For some strange reason Tyr didn't even hesitate to dive for the strange beast when it grabbed Lin, she just turned her body and launched for it. In her hand the dagger quickly switched from a useless position similar to holding a sowrd to a position more useful for stabbing, and that's exactly what she did. Tyr popped her arm up and then slammed it, dagger and all, as hard as she could down into the beasts back, using her full weight to drive it in as deep as she could.
The move wasn't meant to do much more than to distract the creature from Lin, possiably to convince it to go after Tyr instead so someone else could get Lin out of the way. On her shoulder Ferghall only lowered his head and let out a long breath, for some reason the braver Tyr was bothering him.
