((Yeah. D:< We lost an hour and I'm tiiiiiiired. XP))
Mikaril reached out and grabbed the knife. "Thanks! Now find someplace to hide if you can!" He changed his direction and scrambled up the incline and up on the ledge, where he barely had time to reorient himself before he saw the hook horror lumbering down the path they had just taken, the globe fading enough to see its beady little eyes. Which was just what Mikaril was looking for.
He took a deep breath, and then he jumped off of the ledge and landed painfully on the hook horror's shoulders, driving the dagger as deep as he could into the creature's left eye. It made a horrible sound and reared up, long claws flailing. The right claw flew back and Mikaril tried to lean to the left to let it pass, but it came too close and it gashed the right side of his head and unbeknownst to him, tore the hood off of his head. Gritting his teeth, he summoned another globe of darkness over the creature's head and with one hand still grasping the dagger as tight as he could, he lowered himself down onto the creature's shell-like back, ignoring the bruising feeling as the sharp points and ridges went head-to-head with his armor.
((I guess we both ended up controlling the hook horror. XD))

((Took me alittle longer than I would've liked buuuuut...I've finally replied :,D ))
"I-i'm not weak! I can't...I won't give up this easily!" She said to herself mentally as she erected her injured body, standing firmly . A blazing pain erupted in her stomach once more; She ignored it. Her head was throbbing and her vision was fluctuating; She ignored it. "I'm not...weak." She said between grit teeth as the familiar taste of metallic pervaded her mouth and blood began to trickle down her chin. "I can do this" She added as she narrowed her eyes and pin pointed a soft spot upon the leathery head of the beast that was located just under it's jaw. Jaeden lifted the hem of her dress just above her right thigh and unstrapped a daggar, she closed her eyes for a brief moment. The words 'Weak' echoed through her mind in her brothers sneering voice," I AM NOT!" She screamed aloud as she threw the daggar in one swift fluid motion. The soft crunch of metal collieding with flesh could be heard.
Jaeden had struck the beast through the bottom of it's jaw and up though the roof of it's mouth. She stifled a mild grin," Not...weak..." Where the last words she uttered before up heaving a daunting amount of blood.
(( Hope it doesn't seem like i'm God modding @_@ This is just the only thing I could think of as a reply for the moment ))

((Meh; it's just a hook horror. XD I was going to have it run off with Jaeden's dagger in its eye if she hadn't made a move by then. Heck; why didn't I think of beneath the jaw? XD))
Mikaril heard the scream and felt the thunk as the dagger hit the hook horror. He felt the beast's movements dramatically slow, and he took the opportunity to let go of the dagger and land painfully on his backside. He sat up a little and gasped; he could feel what would soon be the most extraordinary bruises on his already shadowy skin, but he mistook the thin trickle of blood from the gash on the side of his head as sweat, and in the heat of the moment, he also failed to notice the placement of his hood. He watched as the seriously wounded hook horror began to trot off in the direction it had come, leaving spots of blood that shone bright in the infrared spectrum. He watched it go, then he rushed over to Jaeden, concern obvious on his face. "Sorry I lost your dagger. The hook horror's nearing death though; if we follow it, we can get it back once it drops. Or I can go, if you're not up to it." He eyed the small puddle of blood around Jaeden and chewed his lip; he always carried a few basic healing mixtures with him just in case, but nothing to combat this.

(( This post is kinda' emo and bleh :,P ))
Jaeden sat up slowly, digging her elbows into the moist soil to help push her body up at an angle,"J-just get the daggar with the golden hilt....just leave the other." Jaeden's arms began to tremble and then she fell back into the small collection of blood that had pooled beneath her body. "F***!" She swore while breathing heavily," W-wait...I'll go with you." The last thing Jaeden wanted was to be a burden on Mikaril," I'm sorry about all of this." Jaeden managed in a raspy voice as she tried to hoist her unwilling injuried body up. "God, that hook horror did a number on me!" She laughed softly but her laugh soon turned to a blood filled cough.

((*Turns up drow-ness* He's getting a little too nice. XD))
Mikaril nodded and turned to follow the blood trail, going slowly so Jaeden could keep up. He knew also that there probably was no need to hurry; the hook horror wouldn't take long to drop dead.
That thought sent his mind reeling. He wasn't sure if Jaeden had long for this life either, and the thought of just putting her out of her misery and leaving her there crossed his mind and refused to be dismissed right away. She wasn't much use now, though she did help to drive the hook horror away, but he didn't have the time or resources to deal with a seriously injured drow. He supposed he could take her back the way they had come and leave her in the hands of a capable healer, but it irked him to spend so much time and effort to get right back where he had started.
His thoughts were interruped by his stumbling upon the still-warm carcass of the hook horror. Still unaware that his hood was down and exposing his ears, he rushed up to the thing's head and pulled the dagger loose, not without a few gut-churning noises, and made to hand it back to Jaeden. "We can probably clean it later....."

(( Meh. I'm going to make Jaeden toughen up T3T ))
Jeaden took a deep breath as she placed the daggar back in it's leather holder and spat blood onto the ground. She wasn't giving up this easily; she was going to make it. "I know what you're probably thinking....'cause if I was you...I'd kill me off," She chuckled softly, after all, It was true, if she were in the same position as he Jaeden would probably kill Mikaril or atleast give it thought. " Your probably thinking...Why should I keep Jaeden around? Well, It would be less trouble for you to get me out of the way but..." She paused and a cruel smile curved upon her lips,"Your forgetting the entire reason why you need me! Remember, I have connections with the group your brother is employed with so sever the tie you have with me and you sever the chance you have at finding your
brother." She spit again. "So give that a good thought." Jaeden added as she gripped the hem of her skrit firmly and ripped, cleaving a large piece of fabric away, revealing her entire left thigh. "And to be quite honest I'm not ready to die just yet!" Jaeden paused as she stepped gingerly over the dying beast. "Damn vermin." She swore as she eyed the Hook Horror's corspe dangerously as she tied the piece of ripped cloth around her wound tightly,"There! That should stop the bleeding for now...." Her breathing became heavy but she composed herself quickly. Despite the severe injury to her side Jaeden did her utmost best to ignore the sweltering pain. She had already shown Mikaril a glimpse of her weakness and she couldn't bare for him to see her in such a pathetic state any longer.

((Yeah! pirate ))
Mikaril looked as shocked as though he had just been hit in the face with a wet rag. He sputtered, trying to come up with a satisfactory reply. "Well, I didn't want....I mean, I can't.....if you were going to....I just thought....." What he wanted to say was that he didn't want her to suffer because despite his moment of selfishness, he had to admit that he did really like this female who was actually unpredictable in a good way, that he couldn't have healed her regardless because he didn't have the means, that that if she was going to die anyway, better to get it over with quickly, and he had indeed thought those selfish thoughts and they still poked and prodded him like stingy spider's legs. But all of those thoughts collided at his mouth and all that came out was a bout of half-sentences that made him sound like a babbling fool.
From somewhere up above, a drop of water fell and landed on one of Mikaril's ears. His eyes went huge as he realized what that meant. "Aww, sh-!" He brought his hand up quickly and tugged his hood back over his head, hoping that Jaeden in her being occupied with binding her injuries hadn't noticed. Apparentlym, both had unwillingly offered glimpses of each other;s weaknesses, but hoping that the display had gone unnoticed.
((Well that was kind of a nothing post, wan't it? XD))

(( Gah!! Sorry I haven't posted in a week >_<; I went on spring vacation and forgot to tell you. I really meant to tell you but it totally slipped my mind!! ))
Jaeden shook her head while laughing softly, she had noticed that his hood was down but failed to say anything. "Listen, It's alright Mikaril. I know you probably thought it was for the best right? I mean, it would be better for me to die quickly and pain less than to suffer." A warm grin curved upon her lips," By the way, your cute without your hood." Jaeden giggled,"Anyway, let's find somewhere to rest ok?" The pain in her side was starting to subside gradually.
(( Bleh. Short post > <))

((Aww, that's okay; I knew you didn't forget. X3))
Mikaril took a steadying breath and frowned. That was twice his thoughts had been read well enough that they might as well have been spoken aloud. He wondered for an instant if Jaeden had used or was using some sort of spell that ferreted his thoughts out and made them known to her. She hardly seemed the type, so he thought, but then again he knew little about magic. Just thinking about the spells that the aspiring drow female was capable of conjuring made his ears tingle in rememberance.
Upon hearing her comment about how he looked without his hood, he blushed furiously and reached up to make sure his hood was once more securely in place. Glad to change the subject, he nodded and looked about. "We could probably head back to the springs; I think the hook horror finding us there was probablty a fluke, and even if more creatures lurk there, the scent of the hook horror might make them think twice about bothering us. Besides, the heat might help your injury; my brother used to say that great heat can cleanse great ills...sometimes."

Jaeden nodded and smiled pleasantly at Mikaril," Alright, let's go. Another bath would be great!" She said with unatural enthusiasm as the couple started back towards the springs. After a brief silence Jaeden began to speak once more," Mikaril....I'm real sorry all of this happend." Jaeden sighed as her vision began to weaver once more. (( Gah short post Dx ))

((*Climbs into Vethia's head and crawls around* There's gotta be some long posts in there somewhere. >=D))
Mikaril shrugged as he heard Jarden's words. "Don't worry about it. It's just the way the world is. It isn't as though you WANTED that hook horror to attack us, after all."
He paused for a second and sent a half-smile Jaeden's way. "You can take credit for the kill if you want. If word got back to my family that I helped down a hook horror, they might ship me off to fighting school after all and I would never be free again." He chuckled weakly, then to cover up his lame attempt at humor, he trotted faster until they reached the hot springs. Removing only his armor, he dropped right in to the water, mumbling something about cleaning the hook horror smell off and looking quite silly as the steam collected in his hood and made it poof slightly like a mushroom.
