Lilith quickly dodged the first arrow and the second two by mere inches. The third however caught, grazing along her ribcage on the left side.
Larien could feel the pain serge through her body but could not do anything about it.
Lilith grabbed the arrow and pulled it out swiftely in one fluid motion. The aura of light was tainted by the evil of Lilith and was absorbed into her hand. The wound on her side started to bleed a black substance a little thicker than blood.
"Your going to have to improve your aim if you plan on winning small one." She laughed and broke the arrow in two.
The lifting herself off the floor with her wings she changed into more of a gargoyle looking creature and as quick as light swooped down towards Clover claws extended not to kill but to maim.

((of all the twists you could have put, you chose that one!?
eh...preatty good, considering the circumstances.))
TY drops down from the ceiling.
"A simple gamble. Just tell me which one is the real me."
11 more TY's drop down, but the same original one speaks.
"By leaving that one alive."
A final thirteenth TY falls from above, and he is the one to speak this time.
"But if you guess wrong, then I win."
The 13 TY's are positioned in a circle around Sneebly facing him.
((refer to them as #1-13 when he attacks them, cuz he might hit the right one... twisted ))

Clover grinned sarcastically at Lilith’s comment before falling down on her back, in attempts to dodge the offending claws. A swallow scrap shown bright red on her left upper arm across her shoulder. The wound stung as she flung said arm forward and used the other to push herself up into a kneeling position. She quickly swiveled to face towards Lilith . With little hesitation she reformed a bow of light followed by a bright arrow. Clover pulled back with her unharmed arm aiming solely for her opponent’s heart. Wind swirled about her body and danced around the arrow sending it in a quick blur towards Lilith once Clover let the string of light go.

Sneebly: "Hah, seems like you would never be able to gamble," Sneebly said with a grin that revield his gleaming sharp jagged teeth. "If I win you leave, but if you win, you die. That is unless you are not really there, but that would make this competition void."
Sneebly the n attacked each Ty with a sharp slash of his claws, lightsteeping towards eachone so the real Ty could not fully dodge him if he attacked. "1,2,3,4..." Sneebly sang as he cut them down. "5,6,7,8.." he added. "9,10,11..." he then jumped past number twelve and ramed his hand through that Ty's (13) chest.

Each TY took their hit solemly, and remained in their location during all of Sneebly's attacks. By the end, it was evident which ones were chosen, and which one wasn't.
One by one, the copies began to vanish. First the first one, then the fourth, #13, 6, 2, 11, 8, 5, 9, 3, and finally the tenth one in line vanished as well, leaving number 12 and the injured #7.
The 12th TY vanishes.
The remaining injured TY quietly laughs.
"You lose."
TY had coated himself with billions of microscopic shadow particles before dropping down, and when Sneebly attacked TY some of those particles were transfered onto the goblin's skin. Upon contact they began to absorb into his skin and travel through his blood stream.
TY looked up at his opponent with a smile on his face. He brought his fisted right hand up in front of his own face for Sneebly to see. As he opened his hand, he also solidified and expanded the particles in Sneebly's heart, causing it to burst.
TY won the gamble, and with it the battle. But in exchange he took a fatal direct hit. Slowly he begins to fade away.

Lilith moved to dodge the arrow but within her Larien could hear Zant's voice and that Tramer was part of him. She could feel her heart sink and with all her strength she held her body still and the arrow struck fast and hard. Lilith looked down at her chest as the black substance dripped from the wound. With an earsplitting screech a black cloud consumed her and when it had finally dissapated all that was left was Lariens body lying on the floor with the arrow protruding from her chest. She was no longer bleeding the black goo but normal blood seeped from her as her heart continued to pump more and more out of the hole.
With a last bit of strength she tilted her head over to where Tramer was fighting with Rachel.
All she could do was whisper.
"Tramer..."

Terror filled Clover’s eyes as Larien fell with the arrow she had shot protruding from her chest. Clover’s eyes began to water from failure. She rushed over to Larien’s returned form. “Larien!” she called out with concern while she fell to her knees beside the injured elf. The arrow Clover had sent was one of pure light, in didn’t have a physical form, so she called back the energy wondering why the light had remained. Noticing the wound she hastily rummaged through the satchel at her waist and pulled out a clean rag. Clover pressed the cloth to Larien’s wound in attempts to cease the bleeding. “Larien…” she trailed off with a weak smile. She had heard the woman whisper out to Tramer earlier, and she felt an uncomfortable pang in her own chest as if sympathizing with Larein’s pain.

Sneebly: The goblin grinned his toothy grin as he caughed up the blood he had receved from Ty's attack. "See you don't know how to gamble. See you in hell," he said as he collasbed onto the cold stone floor at dieing at the same time Ty did.
"Hmm... an interesting predicament," Zant hissed. "It seems that Ty and Sneebly killed eachother and Lillith has been mortaly wounded. It looks like I will have to do everything around here." He then sent a telepathic messege to Rachel that stated, "Finish what you are doing with Tramerand then set a curse on Larien's wound so no one can heal it with out using almost all of their life force, I want to cripple Tramer."
After Rachel heard that she issued her two remaining hellhounds to also self destruct creating and thick fire ball where Tramer was at. Rachel then appeared inthe same barrier as Clover and Larien, but only stood in there for only a few moments to cast the curse and exited with out being noticed. She then fled the castle, never to be seen again during this fight.After Rachel left, Zant combined Tramer's and Clovers barries together, so Tramer could interact with Clover and Larien, that is if he was still alive.
Meanwhile Zant and Epotheros had begain to fight. Zant's new serpent summoning moved and reacted to Epotheros on its own accord, but always swirled around Zant to protect him from Epotheros' attacks. By this time Epotheros had fully dawned his flamming dragon armor that he had used before. Unfortunatly each attack he made was blocked by the serpent who absorbed the attack by shedding its gem like scales and replacing them with others. After a few futile atteps Epotheros made to get to Zant, the snake split up into hundreds of smaller ones that each chased Epotheros around as he flew through the air, but each one he cut down would regentrate while others continued to attack. After a while of toying with Epotheros he made them form ito the giant snake above him and sent it down upon Epotheros swallowing him whole. Upon hitting the ground it shredded throught the stone floor, disipated and reformed at Zant's side leaving a bloody Epotheros laying in the center.
"Damnit," Epotheros cursed, "What chance do I have of beating Zant's true power if I don't show my own." He then lifted himself up by the sword. His body even with the blazing armor was covered with thousands of small lacerations that let tiny streams of his crimson blood flow down his crippled body.
"Don't speak to me like you have achieved the same level as I," Zant scolded him.
"Well I have," Epotheros replied calmly. "Wanna see it?" He mocked. Just then the flames that surronded Epotheros expanded to an absurd size before errupting into a fiery explosion that radiated throughout the barrier with enough power to instantly incinerate anything in its path.

Tramer acting out of instinct shielded himself from the blast as the hellhound exploded. Tramer cursed in elvish as the two hellhounds rushed him, Tramer jumped to the side narrowly avoiding the first, Tramer swung his swords horizontally releasing a wave of fire toward the secant hellhound as more of an attempt to force it into the other detention. Tramer jumped back again preparing for the next attack when Zant spoke.
Tramer froze as Zant’s words echoed in his mind, Tramer tried to lie to himself at first telling himself it was impossible, thou the more he thought about it the more it made sense, Tramer had no memory of his family all he remembered was growing up at the academy, it also explained why Borin was always so close to Tramer when he was young, Tramer hadn’t thought on it much but Torin must had known what Tramer was and keep him close just incase he turned for the worse. Tramer was only pulled from his thought as the two remaining hellhound exploded around Tramer, in the last secant Tramer created a barrier shielding him from the blast thou it took a good deal of Tramer’s energy. Tramer grinded his teeth as he saw Ty beginning to fade away “goodbye, friend” Tramer said in a somber voice inside the safety of his barrier knowing well there was nothing he could do to help him
Tramer sensing the taint of Lilith dissipating quickly turned to make shoure Larien was ok, Tramer fell to his knees as he saw Larien fall to the ground an arrow sticking form her chest, “no...” Tramer said in a quiet beaten voice, as Larien approached and spoke to him Tramer was taken over in a violent rage “UROSOR GORIS BORSORG VORISRN….RAPTURE” Tramer screamed summoning every last ounce of power he could, suddenly dozens of rays of light erupted form Tramer heading out in in all directions, the beams of light tore throw the barrier as if it didn’t exist and then curved back in aiming for Rachle. Tramer watched contently as he successfully cast rapture a lvl 80 spell. Tramer not even knowing if his spell had dispatched Rachel quickly turned back toward Larien. Tramer kneelt beside her, Tramer then turned to Clover “go…” Tramer cutting himself off as tears started to flow down his checks, “go help Epotheros, if we fail everything we have sacrificed will have been in vain” Tramer said trying to keep his composure as he turned back to Larien sheathing his swords
“don’t you even think about leaving me” Tramer said looking into Larien’s eyes as he placed his hand over the wound
“she is cursed!” the voice of Dericos echoed in Tramer’s mind
Tramer paused faintly sensing the dark energy of a curse the question is, do I have more energy than the curse can absorb? Tramer thought to himself knowing well Rachel was a powerful sorceress
Dericos laughed and laughed as he watched events unfold through Tramer’s altered eye “well well, Zant is a smart one after all, he doesn’t want you dead or he would had had you fight Lilith, he wants you to tire yourself, look at yourself you are part elf, Felsbin removed fare more than he should had when he attempted to remove the human blood from Zant, Zant needs to finish the ritual Felsbin started and remove all the human blood from him taking back the elven blood from you before he can unleash his true power” Dericos said still laughing
Tramer knew Dericos’s words to be true thou if stopping Zant meant watching Larien die it was just something Tramer could not do. Tramer was know relying on the swords alone to maintain the healing spell
“This will be interesting, if you plan on living through this you know what needs to be done, but are you willing to pay the price?” Dericos asked now in a very serous and cold voice

Larien could barely see Tramer. He seemed far away, and then she could see Zant and both hatred and anger swelled within her. More than it had ever before. See Tramer had made her realize that she could not just let go.
Calling on her fleeting ablity to manipulate spirit she was able to find anything else in the castle and for a mile around that was living and borrow it's living energy. The Earth seemed to stand still for a moment and Larien was on her feet. She looked compleatly diffierent large white wings sprouted from her back her purple eyes turned a brilliant shade of icy blue, her hair was not bright gold as if it were weaved from the sun. She looked exactly like her mother. In fact it was Larien's mother.
When she spoke it felt like the foundations of the Earth were trembling yet nothing was distrubed from it's natural state.
"Zant. I told you when you stole my daughter from me that I would return to end the war. How dare you use her for your own twisted needs and pleasures?! You shall pay."
((Ok in my profile remember that Lariens parents were royalty and her mother was a spirt nymph. aka kick a**))

Tramer nearly fell to the ground as he finished healing Larien, just as he finished Larien transformed. Tramer summoning power from shear hatred forced himself to his feet and unsheathed his swords, thou his hands shuck trying to hold the swords weight. Even Tramer’s breath was labored but Tramer was not about let Zant win without a fight
“its time” the voice of Dericos echoed in Tramer’s mind
“not till I have no other choice…” Tramer replied now holding his swords firmly summoning straight from somewhere deep inside of himself, somewhere he didn’t even know existed as he lessened to Larien speak to Zant, Tramer vanished form were he stood only to appear in the air behind Zant his swords in hand, Tramer lunged the sword in his right hand forward aimed for Zant’s hart “uris gori corisar” Tramer mumbled channeling as much light magic as he could into the blade

When Tramer struck at Zant, he acted as though he was made of fog. Zant then let out his usual cackle before stating, "You seem to believe that was the real me dear boy, but at this moment I am nothing but and illusion. Just to let you know, I may not be the real one, but I will take a ohysical form now becoming a clone of Zant. This clone however will be made from both Epotheros' and my own energy as we fight in the other barrier. Each time we attack, that energy gets transfered to me, so right now I am just about as strong as the real Zant. Enjoy my treat,"Zant said as he floated upwards as the floor begain to ripple like a sheet of water. Just then hundred of hands joled from the glassy floor and used this oppertunity to wrap themselves around Clover, Tramer and Larien.

The pressure Clover held to the wound eased as she saw Tramer kneel beside Larien as well. Clover lifted herself to stand beside the two, she knew that Tramer would want to heal her. In denial and determination Clover couldn’t bring herself to say anything. Her face was stoic all she could do was think, and devise. Zant had to be destroyed. He was the one who enslaved Larien with Lilith’s being. Though it was Clover’s arrow that fell the woman, Zant had intentionally led Larien down this current path.
Before Clover could fully assess the situation, she noticed something disturbing. Zant was now there with them in the barrier. She had heard his voice moments before, but didn’t imagine him challenging any of them. Where was Epotheros? Was their battle stalled temporarily? Her thoughts reeled, and before she could act on impulse she looked back to where Larien was, but now there stood a golden haired, winged women. She appeared to be the exact opposite of Lilith. Clover watched on and listened to the woman’s speech. Then she noticed Tramer moving, but then he was gone. She turned her head and saw Tramer behind Zant attacking with a light spell.
Though this appearance of Zant was short lived. Tramer’s attacked did nothing as Zant explained the use of energy to create clones. Clover was slightly spacing out at this time, not sure what to expect. Wind whipped around her protectively again, and she was surprised. “What’s wrong?” she exclaimed in a whispered hush before the ground shook in waves and many hands protruded from the floor. Clover struggled against the offending appendages as she sent concentrated wind towards the grasping hands.

Tramer screamed out in rage as Zant faded away as fog, a multitude of hands attempted to grab Tramer thou he quickly dispatched them with his swords as he fell. “bormar” Tramer yelled out just before he reaching the ground, Tramer pointed both his swords downward lunging into the ground as Tramer landed, the ground rippled as the blades impaled into the ground fallowed by everything frizzing solid, the ice magic flowed throw the hands freezing them solid making them nothing more than brittle statues. Tramer lined heavily on his swords his breath coming in shallow gasps
“why do you not accept my power? Why do you continue to fight at all?” the voice of Dericos said in Tramer’s mind
“why do I fight?” Tramer mumbled to himself trying to answer the question “I don’t know, im nothing more than a lesser clone of the enemy a collection of everything he tried to get rid of” Tramer mumbled forcing himself to his feet and pulled his swords from the ground, Tramer then looked up at Larien thou she was not herself Tramer could clearly see the Larien he knew in her eyes I fight to protect those important to me, for I have no other resign Tramer thought know Dreicos could hear him. Tramer then looked up at the clone of Zant “looks like are only hope is Epotheros, all we can do is hold out and hope he defeats the real Zant” Tramer said almost laughing as he took a fighting stance still looking up at the clone
