Another Day of Training

[Brenton]

Audrey slipped through the trees, instantly scaling one to look out at the mountains and forests, before she began sprinting quickly toward the end of the trail. At the end, a simple move dropped the girl just enough to where she caught the branch with her hands and flipped out into a triple flip in the air. As she landed, soft with no sound whatsoever, Audrey began running again, drawing the two daggers with a simultaneous movement that displayed years of practice. Ahead of her were two targets spread out at an equal distance, made of straw and wood they would make great practice dummies for this next maneuver. The targets rose up in front of her and a blur of red blades flashed just before Audrey stopped with the daggers held out at her sides. Behind her the targets were standing but a second later they fell into three pieces each hitting the ground with a soft thud.

Audrey wiped her forehead and sheathed the daggers before pulling the whip free from the clip on her belt and snapped it out. A smooth movement backward and then forward was all that was needed to hear the sharp crack and a tree branch fell from the trees. The whip hit the ground and Audrey smiled as she saw the damage she had just done to the targets and the tree branch that had been there. Warrior she was not but rogue she was and that meant she had true skill in weapons that not even the elves or riders could gain with their speed or strength.

Luna was in partaking in her morning swim when Isaac decided to go off on his own again. Isaac zipped through the trees with grace only an elf could muster. Well in his case, half-elf. Life hadn't exactly been easy for him, it was pretty much the exact opposite. An outcast, destined for something I can't even remember.
These words constantly played in his head. Doubt, worry and fear of not knowing who he was caused him to forget that he was still running like a small woodland creature amongst the branches of the trees and he fell.
Falling from 20ft trees may not seem like much to a dragon but Isaac isn't a dragon and the fall will likely kill him. "DELOI MOI!" Suddenly the earth began to shift and change and right before he hit the ground a small pond like portion of it became like putty and softened his fall

Audrey looked up cautiously, hand dropping to her daggers but deciding to keep the whip instead, as she scanned the area around her. Someone had just shouted a spell or something and it was really close by but where were they at this moment if she couldn't see them. Suddenly her eyes fell upon the source and Audrey slipped into the shadows, disappearing almost entirely to anyone who would be looking but she didn't know who it was. Better to keep an eye upon this person and see what they wanted before she attacked in case she didn't need to. Thinking about it, Audrey scaled the tree and sat in the shadows on a high branch where she would be able to pounce on the person if need be but not kill them right away. This might be an ally after all and they were few and far in between now a days for her since she was a rogue and most people wanted her dead after they met her. Still not many people made it this close to her house or training grounds without setting off the tripwire traps she had set up. This was someone to be wary of.

Miles away, Luna's tail began to glow, and that could only mean one thing. Something bad was about to happen. With one great surge of power Luna leapt into the air and sounded her cry.
Isaac instantly flipped into battle mode. "Deloi Garzla" he whispered under his breath and suddenly the ground around him began to emit a blinding light. Not knowing if his spell served its purpose, Isaac spoke the name of fire and took off. The dancing flames leapt from his fingers as his flitted through the forest igniting the trees.
Maybe if I can't blind them, I can smoke them out.

[Brenton]

((That is such bogus crap...Audrey doesn't use magic!))

Audrey heard the cry and as the person below shouted she jumped down, aiming for his throat and snapping the whip in a full circle around that would hit anything in a six feet radius around her. The ground would hurt like hell if she was hitting it but if she caught this arsonist then she would be happy. "YOU DARE LIGHT MY FOREST ON FIRE?!? I'LL KILL YOU, PUNY MAN!" Audrey had noticed that most fights were won when someone was scared and they were taken off guard so she was yelling in as loud of a voice as she could muster while making her words as threatening as she could manage.

Isaac was so close to escaping the reach of Audrey's whip but it clipped his head and sent him sprawling. It seemed as if he would never stop rolling. Finally he slammed into a tree 5 yards away and a screech erupted from the maw of Luna and the mouth of Isaac. Over whelmed with the pain she felt, Luna tumbled out of the sky and plummeted towards the earth landing with a sickening crunch.
Another cry of pain was produced from the mouth of the castaways, echoing through the forest.
Blood soaked the ground where they lay. It took every ounce of concentration just to utter,"Waíse heill".... Dazed and clearly drained, Isaac staggered to his feet. Slightly swaying Isaac sought out his antagonist. He didn't have any weapons so it was fight barehanded or run.

[Brenton]

The girl was accustomed to large drops and so she had already clipped the whip back onto her belt and drew both daggers as her feet hit the ground with her knees bent enough to absorb the blow instead of break her legs. It was a wise decision since she had broken her legs multiple times doing stunts like this and if it weren't for her daily training she probably wouldn't be ready for this fight either. As the girl landed she crouched and sized up the opponent before charging forward toward him with the daggers ready. The plan was to make him bleed a drop of blood for every second the trees burned, and since they were still burning, it looked like he was going to bleed a lot today and she would be down one less arsonist.

((totally sorry. I had a debate presentation I needed to work on))

As Isaac regained control of his body, noticed his attackers charge and prepared for a charge of his own. It was eerily silent as he sped towards the girl with the speed and grace of an elf. Time seemed to slow as Isaac flipped over Audrey's head and landed behind her. In the same instant he thrust his leg back aiming for her head. Pausing only to regain his balance Isaac then rushed to save Luna. He could feel her slipping away, the agonizing pain she felt tore him apart mentally.
As he ran passed the trees, branches whipped his face and blood poured like tears, but none of that mattered to him. All that mattered was getting to Luna and nothing would stop him from reaching her.
Blinded by tears and blood only one thing could be heard running through his head. He had been a fool for leaving her and now she was dying and it was all his fault.
He ran for what seemed like hours, time viciously wracked his brain even though it only took 5 minutes for him to reach Luna's favorite lake.
When he reached the clearing there were empire soldiers tying down what looked like a huge pile of silver.
Luna. My Luna. They have my Luna!
"ADURNA RISA!"
The surface of the lake began to churn, twisting into the form of a serpent. Rising from the water the water behemoth began to snap at the soldiers. Drowning them or tossing threw the air watery serpent created pain and havoc amongst those closest to the lake as Isaac made quick work of the others.

Finally alone for the time being Isaac ended the spell and hurried to Luna's side. He spoke the words of healing and as Luna awakened, he blacked out from the exertion.

Audrey had been training for too long to fall for such an obvious move like that so she rolled at the last second and the kick missed her just as she popped up and climbed and tree. With the grace of someone who was raised in this land for years she ran at full speed toward the lake where she could already see Empire soldiers still moving into the area. This was certainly going to be fun if she got there after that guy who was burning her trees but why would he run if he was so powerful?

As it was, she didn't have to avoid branches and so she wasn't slowed down like he was which meant she arrived just after him and watched as he killed the Empire soldiers who had been tying down a dragon. Yet when he passed out, more soldiers had been watching from the trees below her and that was Audrey's cue to act. She dropped off the branch with her daggers in hand and cut down four soldiers before dashing into the clearing and spinning to face the soldiers while her body protected the fainted guy.

He was a rider but he was unconscious and even a person who angered her should have a fair fight when they died which these soldiers would not give him. They wouldn't wait for him to wake up and that was the part that was unfair about them. As they moved forward, she noticed that they were wary of her now, watching her blades, which made he smirk. With a yawn she sheathed the right dagger and unclipped the whip before lashing it around a soldier and pulling him in to slash his throat which made the others run in fear. They hadn't expected someone vicious.

[Savionne Son of None]

When Luna woke up the first thing she noticed was Isaac's prostrate form in front of her. She had to get to him, she needed to get to her Isaac. Struggling to rise Luna noticed the rope that restrained her, and with one great attempt to rise again she severed the cords and sounded her mighty roar.
She was moving towards Isaac when she saw the girl jump out of the trees. Her first instinct was to flay her alive because she might have been the one who did this to Isaac. Right before the deed was done she saw how the girl was holding the soldiers at bay.
Suddenly out of the corner of her massive beautiful eye she saw urgals approaching the scene. The mere scent of urgals created a primal fury in the heart of Luna, she paused to look at Isaac's unconscious form then turned and ran for the urgals. Pouncing upon the foremost of the hideous creatures Luna marveled as her claws sank into flesh of the beasts. The daughter of air and fire danced through the horde slicing and slashing all who dared come to close. The blood of her enemies flowed down her wonderful scales filling her with even more contempt.

Audrey fell to her knees, weary from her fight, as her mind began to grow fuzzy with the details swarming through all at once and making her sick. Her face grew pale and the girl's grip on her dagger slackened just as an arrow struck her in the chest only millimeters from her heart. She looked down at the inferior weapon and then up to the archer and saw his smirk just as her dagger fell from her hand and clattered to the ground where her shoulder next hit. Blood, lots of blood, all warm and filling her chest while it stained the dirt beneath her body and made the ground look like a red lake. She couldn't see as the world began to turn black, starting at the edges and creeping toward her entire vision until she was certain that her body would lie there forever.

Pain no longer bothered her as her body grew numb and the once warm air began to grow cold as her breaths grew shallower and she could hear the approach of Empire soldiers once more. They were going for that rider and he would die too, which she couldn't allow even though he had harmed her trees when she was only watching. With great effort, the girl forced herself to stand up and fight the encroaching darkness until she could see enough to grab her dagger and whip once more. Her fingers were numb and there was no sense of feeling in them but that didn't matter right now.

Soldiers laughed at her and walked by to get to the rider but she had other plans for them instead. Audrey stabbed the one on the left through the temple and then whipped the one on the left and sent him into his allies where he fell to the ground with a broken neck. Now the soldiers knew they were facing a true warrior but it was just a girl and she was injured so why wasn't she dead yet. Then another arrow struck her, this one in her right breast, and ripped through until it was stopped by the feathers at the end.

It did nothing but barely make her blink in annoyance at the soldiers who dared to fire arrows at her again when she was protecting someone who was weakened at the moment. With rage building, the rogue stumbled forward but another arrow grazed the left side of her neck and a fourth slammed into her left bicep, causing her to be unable to use the whip. "Bring it on, worthless Empire scum! Shoot as many arrows as you want but you will not get to him until I am filled full of those arrows and you see my blood covering the ground."
