"So, they come to die," Dikan whispered under his breath. The group could hear him, but if you were any farther then 10 feet away, you would not hear. He pulled his blades out from their sleeves. he held them relaxed at his sides. Marleina looked very exhausted as she slid down from the tree and in no shape to fight. "I will protect you," he said as he sprinted towards her.

Marleina has never felt more relieved and so very nervous at once. "Thank you- Dikan-" she said in a hush tone behind a tree. If she had to, which she knew she would, she took out a steel sword with a gleam to it as she took it out. She held it on an angle to her right side and against her chest. More clatter grew even closer and came up to Dikan and the back of the company. "Get er' boys and leave none alive!" the commander screamed out into the gray clouded sky. About 40 ogres drew their swords and other weapons and went for Marleina.

Everyone seemed so ready to protect the newcomer and the thought made Akira smirk though the expression fell from her face instantly as she saw where Jouta was supposed to be. There was nothing there but a dark brown sack with something wriggling inside. She instantly broke out in a sprint, her eyes wide with terror.

Reggetar spun around. He emitted a low growl. It seemed that as soon as one fight stopped, another begun. But he actually found it enjoyable. He took his dagger and sprinted to Zephyr. Together they lunged at ogres. Zephyr grabbed one in her mouth biting into it and shaking her head furiously. Reggetar drove his dagger into the skull of a near by ogre. To be sure it would be dead, he sent an electric shock through the blade and consequentially into its brain. He tore out is dagger as he and Zephyr moved to the next unfortunate target. He did wonder briefly where Akira was, but soon he had to dismiss the thought and revert all of his concentration back to the battle.

The battle took place behind Akira and she payed absolutely no attention to it as she untied the sack. Solstice darted out of up, glad to see the sunlight and the people. "Skiit!" she said to Akira who cursed under her breath. "I'm sorry I couldn't stop the-" Solstice stopped midsentace as she looked towards the fighting. Akira looked behind her and frowned. She could only guess where they had taken Jouta and she couldn't go there alone- first things first she had to eliminate these distractions.
Solstice looked up at Akira and Akira nodded down towards the two tailed cat. Immediately Solstice's eyes glowed bright green as some of the already fallen opponents stood up and began fighting aside Reggitar and Zephyr.
Akira walked into the battle, her eyes eerily calm despite the turmoil around her and her eyes glittered with anger and frustration, the Ame appearing in her hand as the weapon glowed a dark red. She stuck it into the throat of one enemy and threw the now dead corpse into three oncoming attackers, the weapon glinted in the light and it swung in Akira's hand as it sliced through several opponents in a single swing, the blade sharper than ever now and moving with a deadly force that wasn't to be reconed with.

An oger jumped out form a tree and in front of Marleina. "Say your prayers lit-" He went to say, but was decapitated before he could finish the sentence. Marleina swung her sword and it made another gleam as she pushed against a tree. She uttered a curse and ran from the tree in hopes to help kill the idiots that smelt like a sewer. "Dam that girl! Kill her!" the commander yelled even louder as more and more poured out from behind him.

There always seemed to be new people to kill. He had killed more today than he could honestly say he had killed in the past five months, and the number was rising. It was good practice and everything, but he wished that there was less death involved. His eyes caught Akira's luminous turquoise ones as he slit a person's throat, and they said everything. Her son was gone.
"Such larceny is unheard of," he growled angrily, raising his lance horizontally to meet a sword and then kicking the thing at the joining of his legs. The thing grunted, and Lorien cut open its stomach, releasing a cascade of loopy insides that collected dirt and muck on the ground. The thing was busy trying to fit them back in, back wasn't having much luck. After killing another he felt a small wave of nausea and turned back to the dying, disemboweled thing, ending its suffering with one blow and an apology. Angry was hot and burning, but letting it control one to cruelty was to be avoided at all costs.
"Because then I'd be no better than they, is that not so?" he murmured under his breath. Boldly he stepped up and faced the commander, a determined smile on his face and his eyes cheerful.
"You're terrorizing this innocent woman," he stated. "I challenge you, so that we might end this in a civilized manner." If it was possible to suggest a duel to the death while grinning happily with no intended trace of sarcasm or cutting edge, Lorien achieved it quite well.

The commander snarled and then when he heard the words of the 'boy' and started to laugh. "You- fight me boy? You'd be wasting my time. Stand aside paladin. You aren't the one I want," he viciously mocked Lorien. The swipe of the sword thrashed violently many times before getting to the commander and Lorien. Her blue dress rippled around her as she took another ogre down with her steel blade. "You want me, then just try to take me down scum," Marleina taunted him and said quiet loudly. Suddenly many of the men trying to kill her stood still as the commander passed Lorien and went towards Marleina with pitch black eyes and dead rotting smell for an odor. "You speak confidently- my lady for such a young girl. Perhapse I should put you in your place?" he growled back.

Akira continued the onslaught, the Ame glistened in the light and not even a glimmer of sweat beaded on her forehead. "Not all armies are those of Aroroth..." she whispered to Lorien as she slowed down her slaughtering of the soldiers and she stood next to the paladin. "They're obviously after the newcomer... Skiit took Jouta, not these people." she said as she looked around her for a moment as if holding some hope that Jouta would be caught in her gaze but alas she should have known that it wouldn't.
Back within the fortress Aroroth looked at the welp of a person who now stood before him, "Is it true what they say? Is Akira indeed your mother?" He asked Jouta, one of his eyebrows raised as his icy blue eyes examined the boy.
Jouta gulped some saliva down as he nodded, he didn't like this person and he could feel an overpowering sense of magic in the room that made it hard for him to breathe. It was worse than when she was with all those people earlier and he shuffled his feet nervously as he looked towards the ground.
"Well then, I'll make sure you're treated with our utmost respect." He said with a nod, the child had much ability that he wasn't aware of and Aroroth didn't want to risk having such power sided against him so gaining the trust of the child seemed to be the best idea for the moment- besides giving him the curse mark would assuredly kill him right there on the spot and such power like what was inside the boy might be of use later.

"True, though it seems that every evil in the world is converging around us," he replied. Carefully impaling an enemy that had the look of getting too friendly, he turned back towards the commander and girl.
"Your Hubris will be your downfall," he noted to the commander. "You are outmatched in both skill and number, so mercy is your only savior, if you would call for it."
Turning to Marleina, he apologized with, "Sorry for butting in. If you want to kill him on your own; it's your right."

"Sorry isn't a word you need to say, but I'll take him,"she told Lorien. Those s emerals eyes were showing not a speck of fear, but of determinatation and power. The commander laughed, "Weakling is more like it." and drew his sword and to a few swings, but Marleina was already out in the clear.

The commander ignored the other boy stepping into the conversation that he and the girl were engaged in. Marleina took her sword higher up to meet the same height as the commander's axe like weapon (NOT machete) and gave a smile of pure disgust as well as a just pondered, cleverly thought out plan to kill him. "You should really learn you manners Commander," she spoke with a mere joy through her rosie red lips. They started to swing and attack each other, both with great skill, but the only downfall to Marleina was that she could be a little clumsy sometimes; and hopefully this wouldn't be one of them. "Manners? Pha! I'll teach you manners little girl," she broke out in anguish and humor. (a very ODD combo, but its one of those things.) He forced his weapon to Marleina's side, but she swerved out of it's reach. "Don't underestimate a woman and sixteen years of sword weilding Commander- or you just might die anyways," she sarcastically responded to him with her own sword plunged into many directions to stab him, but the only thing that did happen were some small gashes. He was pretty quick, but that's because he was trained in the same placed she lived. Both acquired skill and speed. Enemies wanted from their homeland weren't very weak. "You should do the same yourself," he pushed back at her. "Oh, look the general," she stated slyly. The commander didn't fall for it, but tripped over a tree stump and it was time for Marleina to make her move. The emerald eyes gleamed and she took a swipe of her sword to the commander's chest and plunged it into him. He was dead.

Akira watched the fight which ended quickly, quite melodramatic really. Her black eyes twitched, and in a moment she was stooped to one knee and chanting something in some odd language in a whisper. In capturing Jouta there had been a mistake since a Kitsune upon recieving thier true name can be tracked because of it with the right incantations. The tips of Akira's shoes now glowed where they pointed east, pointing towards Jouta and she nodded, she'd now be able to go after Jouta and somehow get this curse removed from her which should in turn release all the others that she had infected. A smirk on her face as she looked to the east, "I think we've all been through enough battles for one day- how about a little trip?" she said as her gaze stayed locked to the sky in the east. To the west the sun was already beginning to set with an alarming speed, it would be dark within the hour.

Zephyr shook off the body of an ogre she had killed. She flung it off her talons and onto a tree. The tree had a bit of a dent now… Reggetar wiped off his dagger on his pants. He heard Akiras’ suggestion about a ‘trip’. He looked around, wondering where the midget was. He soon realized that he was missing. That must be why she was insisting on a trip so late. “Sounds good to me. We don’t mine pulling all nighters now do we Zephyr?” He said elbowing Zephyr who snorted in agreement. As far as Reggetar was concerned, he had been in one place to long already.

Darius had been chewing dragon jerky in the whole altercation, ogres were much to low for him. He had noticed Jouta missing, and placed the blame entirely onto the one named Skiit and his commanders. At the word of travel, Darius' forte, he brightened up and stood up from where he was sitting, popping the last remnant of dragon jerky into his mouth. Shadowsong had already flwon away, he was a damn lazy dragon, there was no other way to describe him. Darius walked forward as he snapped his fingers and his armor came back upon him. A black dragon hide suit with a belt and a cloak with a snow wolf pelt detachable collar. He knew Akira had looked to the east, things would only get hotter...and there would be more of this Sake stuff Akira tricked him into drinking. It had nothing on fine drowish wine, however.
"I can guess where we're going..." Darius said in a melancholical voice, hefting Darkfire into its back sling sheath. He patted himself to make sure he had everything.
Silver dagger...yes...Bow....yes...Dragonstone...yes...Death Pommel Stone...yes...Kill List....yes...Assassination Contract...yes... He checked in his mind. Most of the things nobody knew he had on him, which was how he liked it. THough, the bow was nowhere to be seen on his body...
Darius walked over and patted Akira on the back, not heeding anyone else.
"We will get him back Akira. You will have your day." He graced.
