Across Felarya

He sidestepped Taihaku's attack, dropping his gun as he pulled out a blade of his own wincing, looking down and seeing she had grazed his side, and it was bleeding mildly, but it was more than enough to slow him down.

The other man was hit by Slinky, flying backward into a tree trunk, knocking the wind out of him as he clutched his chest, trying to breath normally again before he was attacked.

The last remaining slaver not in combat looked around frantically for Brit, not wanting be caught off guard, sweating heavily, firing on random occasions. "Come out! Fight be like a man!" She yelled out, eyes wide open.

"It's my job" Rhea says firmly, she made sure the tip of her spear was pressed against the leaders kneck "go on, move I dare you to." Rhea's eyes darted down to watch the girl in her cleavage "I'm saving her for later" her lips curved into a coy smile, sh called out "end the fight as quickly as you can."

Taihaku backed away from the knife-wielding man, aiming to use the fog to get out of his line of sight. When she was sure she was just far enough away, she dropped her swords, causing them to disappear, and took a step back and spread her arms out to the side, summoning a light blue magic circle under her feet. She then stood tall and held her arms out in front of her, fingers pointed upwards, summoning a second one in the air in front of her. This was the setup to her Freeze Blast spell, and it was the quickest, albeit weakest, version of the spell she could perform. Aiming for the man in the fog. With her sharp vision, she could still make him out relatively clearly, and she pulled her arms back and then thrust them forward again. A sizeable ball of ice and mist emerged from the magic circle in front of her, and it was slowly propelled forward towards the man she'd been fighting. If it hit him, it would instantly freeze him solid in a block of ice.

Brit heard the girl shout, then Rhea's cry. Well, can do. After all, the slaver was yelling in the middle of a fog in a battle. She wouldn't have lived long out here anyways. Still, it was a woman...

He stayed low to the ground and slipped near where the voice was. He could see her shape, and that of her gun... deftly, he moved behind her, and, when he was close enough, struck out at the back of her knee with his knife. HE'd bring her down, then get her firing arm.

"Well I hope you enjoy her, I don't really care what you do with them, if you wanna just pierce his throat now I don't care." He said looking to the man coldly, chuckling a liitle.

"I am not scared of dying, just leave them out of it, I am their leader!" He said bravely, grinding his teeth together.

She turned around to late, wincing in pain, refusing to scream in agony as she fell to her hands and one good knee, holding her gun in her left hand, looking up to him angrily.

The man saw the ball of ice emerge from the fog, mistaking it for simple mist being pushed, he thought is was the Neko trying to conceal herself, he sliced at it, his sword clanging off it as it struck him a moment later, freezing him solid.

Slinky cautiously edged through the smoke to where the other man was. Noticing he was winded he edged closer until he got to the tree.

He sighed. This was never fun for him. It had always felt... carnivorous to try and hurt something for fun. Licking his lips, he half-gingerly, half-determinedly pulled back one of maybe many punches that would last till the man was knocked out.

He grunted in pain as he was hit over and over, trying to pull the trigger on his gun, attempting to shoot him.

Rhea nodded slightly, she tilted her head, removing the spear from the man's neck before she thrust it into his right leg. Rhea nodded, satisfied, she looked around to see how the battle was going "ok clear this up now, we have to leave this area immediatly!"

Taihaku, satisfied with her work as well, having managed to take out two of their aggressors, walked over to the first man who's shoulders she'd cut and dragged him over to the block of ice encasing the frozen one, she positioned him sitting upright against it. She hoped the cool ice would help dull his pain, and the water it caused as it eventually melted would help clean his wounds, were they not healed before the ice melted. She then looked up seeing what she could, having heard Rhea's voice. "I apologize, I do not know what it is you mean by that," she responded.

Brit tried to take advantage of her position, swiftly moving above her and aiming a blunt blow with his knuckles where her head met her spine. It would likely be a KO if it got through right.

"We have made a lot of noise, we need to leave before something more deadly comes, now hurry let's get going." He said looking down the leader just gripping his leg and laying there in pain.

The girl Brit was fighting was knocked out cold, laying on the ground quietly.

"Wait your letting them go! Let me out of here!" The girl Rhea had caught pleaded.

​ "One second!" Slinky shouted in a cheery voice full of sarcasm. His knuckles hurt and he was tiring. "Why-don't-you-frickin'-go-pass-out-you-ass-hole!" he grunted through gritted teeth, between punches. He wished he had a chair or stool or something to smash across the man's face.
​
He still hadn't noticed the gun though, too busy pummelling the man to notice

The man took a punch to the face, passing out on the spot, face bloodied and beaten, getting off one bullet from his pistol, aimed at his abdomen.

Rhea looked down to the woman, her lips curved into a small smile "they like you will not see sunset" she says firmly, using a finger to sh the girl shoulder deep into cleavage. Rhea let out a small sigh moving on, following behind Damon "lets move now then."

Taihaku, finished with business, took her position beside Rhea. She looked at the fairy admirably. "She did a fine job," the snow neko thought. "Perhaps she'd be interested in a sparring match sometime?"

Brit walked back to the rest of the group as the smog cleared. He heard the gunshot from Slinky's direction, and turned to look. "Need help?"

(Now that the slaver is done I'll wait for Slinky.)

Huh. So that was what it was like to get shot. Slinky fell to his knees, cussing in pain. He looked up to the sky, "not the appendix, not the appendix, not the appendix..."

He looked down and to his relief the shot had hit above (in a human anyway,) the kidney, but a fair amount of blood dribbled through his hand.

Finally he answered Brits question: "I'm fine," he muttered sarcasticly, "cos everyone who gets shot in the stomach is really freakin' fine!"

He stood up painfully, attempting and failing to walk it off.

Taihaku looked back at the squamataur with a smirk. While she did feel bad for him, at the same time she couldn't help but be amused at his pointless mouthings. "What a lightweight," she thought to herself. She realized she'd just used sarcasm in her head, and became quite proud of herself for finally figuring that out.

"Can anyone here heal?" He asked the group, not wanting to linger any longer than needed, looking back at his wings, grimacing at he set them down against his skin, blending them as simple tattoos, looking to Brit, assuming he would be the one to know.

"I do not know how to heal, it's not in the job description" Rhea mutters absent mindedly plucking the girl from her cleavage, before inserting her head first into her mouth. Rhea mmed slightly her lips closed around the womans waist allowing her legs to hang free outside hr mouth.

An expression of surprise flashed across Taihaku's face as she watched Rhea's actions, but she hid it quickly. "I suppose she is still a fairy," she thought. Still, it meant that she'd have to keep her guard up at all times now.

Damon sweatdropped as Rhea did so, chuckling a little. Hexwas reminded of his own vulnerability, he was only half, he couldn't size shift. So he was always at risk. "Of course it isn't, sorry for asking." He said mumbling the last part, almost mocking her tone playfully.

The girl screamed, trying to escape from Rhea's mouth, kicking her legs Snd trying to push backwards off her tongue, thinking of what she could do, stabbing the tongue with her knife would only result in her being bitten in half, she couldn't fight back in her current situation.

Brit walked over to Slinky. "I'm not a medic, but I have a couple of healing potions." Kneeling on the ground, he put down his pack and rummaged through it, taking out a little, pathetic vial full of reddish liquid. He had quite a few bottles, between his pack and his belt, and he was beginning to be glad for his over-preparedness.

"It won't actually heal it by itself, but it will make it heal a little faster." Brit again rummaged through the pack, producing a thin, white shirt. "Here's something to use as a bandage, if it helps." He was ignoring the goings-on with the fairy. He liked Rhea, and he would rather not see something that might possibly disturb him.

Taihaku stared intently at the struggling woman in Rhea's mouth. The snow neko had once eaten a tiny herself, though only once, and it was in dire circumstances. She really couldn't get a good idea of how that made her feel. It was a person, still, after all, and it had a right to live as anyone else did. But it was just so easy to take their life and use it to sustain her own. Taihaku took a shaky breath as she contemplated the issue of her own predatorial instincts in her mind. Her hand lifted and moved towards the woman in Rhea's mouth as if it had a mind of its own.
