Kat stood there, stunned for a moment. Had she blinked and missed something? It seemed like that.
One moment everyone was there and the next, they weren't as they all headed to the courtyard.
"Wa..."" She chocked out, turning to what was left of the forest.
Oh crap, I'll never make it back in time! She thought, closing her eyes for a patient moment before shoving her daggers back in her bag and running towards the forest.
It wasn't long before she ended up back at the clearing the beast had made as she noticed she went round in one big circle. She was growing less and less patient aswell as she felt her anger rise.
Damnit, at the worst of times and I'm still getting lost! She shouted at herself in her mind, running a nervous hand through her hair.
She turned and charged into the forest again, this time getting hopelessly lost inside of it. After a while she wasn't even sure which way she was heading anymore as she slowed her steps, she looked around.
Every tree now looked the same to her, she wasn't sure if she was going in circles or if she was in a stretch of forest she hadn't been in before. She was even unsure of how to get back to the clearing now as she stopped dead in her tracks. Looking around her with frantic urgentness, she knew she needed to get to the others and help out as much as she could but the more she looked at her surroundings the more sure she was lost, as usual.

Scytheress stepped lightly over fallen branches, her clawed toes padding along on the soft grass while she kept her eyes firmly shut. The winds for a wide radius around her were shifting slightly, vibrating and feeling out every small object within her element's reach. Thus, the Fox-Elf had no trouble making her way through the wood with her sight fully veiled. She allowed herself to tread deep within the bowels of the forest until she was completely secluded from all unnatural sights and sounds, a place no other creature could disturb her. Scythe had finally returned to the solitude she'd so rudely been ripped from before and she climbed up onto a low branch and nestles her back against the trunk, allowing her ten wings to hang down with their tips curving out against the ground. The grass beneath the feathers though turned into black ash the moment the wings rested upon them. Eyes still closed against the mid-day sun, Scytheress began to doze off within this removed comfort.

"You can't catch me!"
Galea ran through the lush woods, her laughter following. She jumped up down left and right dodgeing the quick movements of her hawk. Pushing back the hair out of her eyes Galea's cheery smile became quite evident. With her large brown cat eyes she scanned the tree watching for Morbid. Her ears swung round and round searching for the familliar wing beats as she ran.
It was good to be in a forest, she had only ever been twich before and loved every moment of it. The new smells of decaying wood, pine needles and maple leaves. Birds singing, squirrels chattering. If Ria was heaven this was the best part. IT was a shame she hadn't come here yet, but life was busy.
Suddenly a shrill screech came from overhead. Taking this chance while Galea was day dreaming Morbid had swooped down. Talons drawn he aimed for her ankles. The red tailed hawk was a fierce hunter and fighter for his small size, much better that his master.
She laughed jumping only a foot in the air as he swooped down. It was only a game, one that she loved most. Morbid was much better at it than she was and it was perfect. Galea lost her footing for a few moments as she landed, but with a quick push of her hands she was back running.
Shreiking once more Morbid swooped back into the thick leaves waiting for another time to tag Galea. She skidded to a stop behind a tree, listening to find her friend in their playful game.
Somthing was strange though, she sniffed the air looking around. There, there was somthing in the tree.
"An angel!" Galea gasped looking at her.

Scytheress's expression turned severe at the first sense of movement in the forest, long before the ring of laughter reached her ears the wind had let her know of Galea's encroachment. The second entity, her hawk, made the Fox-Elf wrinkle her nose and she flattened her ears against her head when it screeched in its descent. Once again the peace had been disturbed. Scytheress ruffled her wings, letting them remain dangling as the girl got closer. Once the cat was in sight Scythe brought her wings up and tangled them in the above branches then beat them to pull herself up highter in the foliage and then as she fell a slight distance she inverted herself with the feathered apendages tucked tight to her back. When Galea reached her resting spot Scytheress was directly above her and glaring down.
The sharp claws dug deep into the hard bark, splintering the wood and sending a few chips down on Galea as Scythe took a crawling step down. Her right hand was stretched before her left with her feet anchoring her to the tree. She flared her wings briefly and growled.

Galea squeaked.It was an angel, but it wasn't. She had wings yes, but ten of them. How many angels had ten wings? There wasn't somthing very warm about this creature. Galea picture somthing different while being with an angel, feeling safe and warm and and happy. No, she felt none of that around her. Infact she was terrified; a large lump formed in her throte and her eyes widened.
Taking a step back, Galea could feel a twig snaped under her feet more than hearing it. She sneezed as slivers of bark hit her face as she gawked. Her eye and nose stug, but the fear was what she felt most. Glancing back and forth she looked desperatly for a way out. The 'angel' growled and Galea's reflexes brought her eyes to the woman.
"Eep erk fuoo"

Scytheress growled again and then flung herself down from the tree in a black blur, flipping to land crouched just in front of the other girl. Her wings shot out to the sides from her back, all ten extending to their potential eight feet. Golssy black feathers drifted to the ground, burning holes in the grass where they landed only to then disintegrate themselves. With not a sound Scytheress stood, pulling her wings back in as she did and fixed the cat with a hard stare. Golden eyes tinted with a pale red met Galea's.
Cepe indicum....
The winds around the two seemed to heat with energy, making the trees appear as though they were shimmering. Too the ground shook with a light tremor, stray rocks being kicked up to skip along patches of dirt and kick dust into the warming air. Never though did Scytheress move her gaze from Galea.
((She said "Take a hint...." ))

((is that drow or latin?))
Galea couldn't move, somehow she didn't want to. Just staring at the angel Galea's looked at her with big brown eyes. The darkness in Galea's eyes seemed to glint with ciuriosity and wonder, but there was fear in them too lot's of fear. Flinching slightly as the creature landed Galea's shoulders tighted as if they would protect her.
As the woman spoke she felt more confused than ever trying to recall the lanuage from her lessons at home, her mind wasn't working today though.
If I let this woman push me around she'll probably try and hurt me again, just like all the others. I-I can't let that happen, not again I left home for them to stop hurting me. No one else will hurt me here.
Feeling thw winds brush against her face, Galea felt unaturaly warm. Soon she could feel her legs shake and the air get sharper. Covering her head from the stone that bombarded her Galea whimpered. She had to stick up for herself, Taqune wasn't always going to be around.
With a risk movement Galea reached down and pulled out a katana. It's blade was clean and glinted slightly as stray rays of sun bleeded through the leave and hit the metal. The blade was so clean it was obvious it had never been used, the thing didn't even look like it was meant to fight with. Along the metal a scene of battle was chisled in. Griffons, rapoters and Poenix's spun round the japanese blade in a heated battle. It didn't look like somthing a small little neko would carry, more like a king.
Taking a shaky breath inward Galea pointed it's tip at the angel, hoping with all her heart they wouldn't need to fight.

Scytheress looked at the etched blade with obvious distaste and with a sigh shook her head. This girl had no idea what she was doing weilding such a thing for she dared hold it in an offending position and that only incurred the Fox-Elf's wrath. Scythe leanned back against the tree and brought her right hand up to ruffle her hair as the ground began to shake more violently and the wind began to move in a wide circular pattern. She then held her right hand out the the side and in the outstretched hand formed a double-bladed swallow. Two curved blades came out of the sides of either end of the metallic shaft, glinting in the light and reflecting into Galea's eyes but only for a split second as the blades began to suddenly move, Scytheress's whole body becoming a flexible toy. All at once she leaned forward off the tree, bringing the upper two bladed twirling down at the katana before her then lunging forward to bring her left hand slamming open palmed at Galea's stomach with her finger tips bent so that her claws would pierce her skin.

Galea closed her left eye slightly as the shine the the awesome blade. All off a sudden Galea felt like she was watching an old movie. Everything seemed to flash, the angel woman getting closer and closer as it decipated. She had to think of her training at home. It might have been the best money can buy, but it wasn't the best. It was what she knew.
Stepp by step Galea thought of her lessons,'What to do with an on going attacker', lesson 7 let's see let's She could feel sweat dripping down the side of her face. A sudden pain began to grip her stomach, as if atomaticly her body swung around raising her elbow Galea aimed for the back of the womans head.

The girl was hesitating, and whinking that much was apparent just by her movements and the expressions on the girl's face and this was something Scytheress had planned to use to her advantage until Galea countered by slamming her elbow into the back of her head on instinct alone. The limb hit the Fox's head hard but Scythe rolled with it, tucking down so that she went into a hand-stand over her weapon. Her legs came up her left leg curling to wrap around the other girl's stomach and then she made to pincer her with her right leg. With this in motion Scytheress fused a bit of her energy with the groun beneath her hands to hold to it like a magnet in hope of being able then to flip Galea over and slam her head into the ground on hte other side.

((gahh poeple stop calling my house))
Galea turned around surprised that she had avoided a major attack, but also that she had hit someone. Galea has never hit ayone! She didn't like it very buch, but to tell you the truth, it thrilled her. It was like somthing in her blood was helping her to fight, it felt like she was suposed to do this.
Fixing her footing Galea felt the sharp pain in her stomach once more. Hlacing down she saw bloods scratch marks leading from one hip up to her mid stomach. So, maybe she hadn't missed the attck, but she still hit someone does that count.
A shriek shoot her back to the fight. Morbid had seemed to appear above the woman diving for her head. Taking this chance GAlea jumped into the air pretending the angel was one of the stuffed targets she had praticed on at home.

Scytheress remained on her hands, elbows locked and her legs straight in the air. As the bird cried out she smirked and when it came in Scythe used the fused energy to pull down on and bring her right foot down at a blinding speed to nail her foot into the birds back and if successful be standing on it's back when she finished with her wings flung out to the sides and the double-bladed swallow grasped in her hands over her head.

((Morbid ish people too!))
Galea's hands shook. The woman was going to hurt her best friend. Morbid was her oldest friend, the only one she could count on through so much of her life and in one move he could die. She could feel her body shaking. Taking a step back Galea shook her head dropping the wepon,
"Please please don't don't hurt him!"
Her voice was trembling. Feeling her legs give way GAlea feel to the ground tears welling up in her eyes.
((sry really really bad and short.))

Taqune was standing in the tree a few feet away watching the battle seeing what Galea could do seeing the other fighter pull a cheep move Taqune decided to step in and save the bird.A voice came out of no where Galea would reconize it to be Taqunes,"Leave the bird out of this or I'll get involved.."Taqune appeared right infront of scythress."You don't want me to get involved."Taqune liked Galea and didn't like to see her cry nor see Morbid get hurt,it seemed to be the only thing that Galea had left.

Galea felt like sighing. Taqune was here, he'd help her. It didn't matter if she got hurt, as long as Morbid was ok. Taqune always seemed to be around to help her, and she was glad, but a realisation struck her. She needed him to help her even get her bird back. Well it seemed like people had walked all over her through out her life, why should this place be any different. It was strange though, why did fighting seem so natural to her.
