15 Dyo 81382 Mournbringer held a torch aloft searching the edge of the lake for rocks and plants. From the rocks he peeled moist patches of moss and placed them in a small sack while the other plants he placed in different and various pouches. Suddenly he stood on the alert as something swished through the waters of the lake. He listened more intently. There it was again but it wasn't something it was several somethings. Five snake like creatures slithered from the depths of Magi Lake and rose up as tall as Mournbringer, they were as thick as his forearm and held sizable fangs in their mouths. Mournbringer dropped the torch and sprinkled a dry herb over the flame causing it to flare up momentarily. Thus scaring the serpents back a pace and revealing the out line of another possible combatant perheaps the controller of the serpents but Mournbringer did not have time to speculate as one of the serpents lunged for his face.
Razorback was standing at the banks of Magi Lake torch in one hand a rod in the other, he'd just set up his little stool when he saw rather large ripples in the water. they seemed to be comming from the opposite side of the lake. it was dark but he could still see the sun setting so visability was still good. in the distance he saw five rather large things protuding from the waters surface. Thats when he saw a light where the five things were and he realized that it was someone standing there on the other side of the lake. Spreading his wings he jumped up and beat his wings and began flying over to the things his eyes keenly picking up any movement that he saw. His swords in his hands and flying low he cut the thing that had lunged for the arden, slicing deep into its flesh. the othere things backed off a bit "<span style='color:red'>thought you could use a hand</span>" he said tossing another sword towards the arden "<span style='color:red'>shit here they come again...prepare yourself</span>." razorback said getting into a battle stance.
Mournbringer had no time to respond to the newcomer but was grateful for the sword. It's weight felt more familiar the his staff. The remaining serpents lunged. Mournbringer stepped forward, spun and cleaved off one of the serpents heads. Mournbringer continued his spin, dodging the fangs of a second serpent. He stopped and faced the the back of a serpent not waiting he plunged the blade into what could be its spine. The serpent shuddered and died. Mournbringer saw that the newcomer had magnaged himself well killing three of the serpents. The dark colored pendragon was skilled and finished his prey quickly. OC:didn't know if you wanted to do your half of the battle. so I left off here.
OC:thanks Razorback was grinning at the ardens skills with the sword he'd tossed him and laughed as the smell of blood filled his nostrils. he could finally see what the things were and he drove his sword into the serpent at the mid section and slicing upwards right through its head the two halves fell away from each other blood spurting from viens and arteries all over him his laughter grew and he turned to face the final serpent jumping up and severing its head. Razorback was covered from top to bottom in blood he then turned to the arden and said "<span style='color:red'>hey there thought you could use a hand</span>" blood dripping from various places extending a hand hoping the arden would shake it. he lit up a cigerette took a puff then said "<span style='color:red'>names razorback by the way</span>."
A four foot little hooded,caped, figure came running in view. The cap was silver matching the expose fur. The figure slides to a halt "<span style='color:gray'>YUCK!</span>" came from it. "<span style='color:gray'>Nasty nasty! </span>" It looked up the Eyes were covered, It childish voice came again this time scolding. "You killed them all!" The figure step back a few feet. "<span style='color:gray'>You both are meanies.</span>" This was of course Xukh, acting like his childish self again.
Mournbringer sneered at the little silver figure. "What you call mean is more like surviving." he said aloud. Turning to Razorback. He shook the extended and bloody claw. My thanks to you He thought spoke. Handing back the sword he spoke: My name is Mournbringer. I see you revel in the glories of battle. A reminiscent smile tugged at the Takulas lips. I too have had my time of battles and glory. Now I'm merely an old hermit seeking salvation. And what of you? What brings you to this place at this time of night. As he conversed he pulled a small lump of brown moss from a pouch, put it in his mouth and chewed contently as he inspected the two who had just joined him.
"<span style='color:red'>me</span>?"he said shaking mourns hand "<span style='color:red'>i live round here and was fishing at the time...thats when i saw you and thought you needed help...as for you..." </span>razorback said turning to the small figure that had popped up shouting yuck and calling them meanies "<span style='color:red'>is this your doing? because if it is you'd better have a bloody good answer because if you dont im going to be really pissed off</span>." turning back to mournbringer razorback replied "<span style='color:red'>i am a cook and i want to expand my knowledge and try some new recipies i have invented and your more than welcome to try them if you wisht to i was accualy fishing for a certin type of fish</span>." he than sat down on log and waited for and answer from both of them.
I've not had a stomach for much food my friend. Mournbringer eyed the small silver creature. And as much as I would enjoy a good meal, time is of the essence. I too search for ingredients. But mine will only be in existence for a short period of time. I merely stopped here to pick a type of swamp root. Mournbringer looked to the dead serpents and raised his eye ridge. Begging your pardon Razorback. Mournbringer turned and started to deftly cut out the poison sacs from the serpents' jaws, fangs and all. When done he stored them in a leather wrap and placed them in a pouch.
"<span style='color:gray'>Ehh... Short tempered People!</span>" Xukh said to himself. "<span style='color:gray'>Your alive!?</span>" Xukh frowns, that might of not been the best choice of words At that moment, but he backs away. And pulls the hood all the way down covering his entire face and not just his eyes. He didn't need to get in a fight, He was afraid of hurting them.
looking at the small figure he shouted "<span style='color:red'>YOUR ALIVE? IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY</span>!!! razorback was so pissed off that he pointed his sword still driping with blood at the figure who had covered its face his sword inches away from the figures head "<span style='color:red'>give me one bloody good reason why i shouldn't cut you down where you stand</span>!
Mournbringer smirked at the two. "Perhaps you should rephrase your previous statement little one. You seemed to have angered our friend Razorback." Mournbringer studied the little figure closely. "You didn't have anything to do with that attack did you? Or do you feel sympathy for these creatures? Either way your time of arrival is a bit unexpected." Mournbringer looked to Razorback. "Surely we can give our little friend a chance to explain himself before any more blood is shed,but..." Mournbringer sneered at the silver figure "thats only if you provide a suitable lie or a truthful explanation of your being here. Not that I care." Mournbringer laughed.
Xukh Steps back. "I can give one reason why You CAN'T cut me down." Xukh jumps back and two eight foot spikes drilled out of the ground in front of Xukh. A two knight looking monsters punched their way out of the spikes. One knight, one of its arms turned into a stone spike, and the other one both arms turned into Swords. "The reason is who will control my Panymt?" Xukh crossed his arms. "Now! with that said and done can we please keep a cool on our temper? No cutting people to bits and stuff.." Xukh sighed. "I can't control living creatures if thats what you are asking. The Panymt are not living."
Razorback looked at the two panymt "<span style='color:red'>so waht are you? are you a demon handler or are you a necromancer? and if you were controling those serpents were they dead to begin with? because ive around dead bodies to know that they dont bleed as fast as living creatures....and is it possible for me to inflict harm on your two panynt</span>?" he asked while eying up the demons ready to strike at them in a heartbeat his sword glistening red as the setting suns rays hit the blood on his sword. "<span style='color:red'>i'm waiting on your answer shorty....and it had better be bloody good aswell</span>." he said taking another puff from his cigerette.
" I AM NOT A NECROMANCER!" He yells at cigarette smoking one. "I am a Elemental Summoner And I'm good at Telekinesis." Xukh reaches into his cloak and pulls out three small smooth stones they hovered in the air then started to move slightly. "I can easily cut you down to size or Break your jaw with these stones." Xukh crossed his arms, the stones hovered in front of Xukh. " Why are You Breed so violent? I only hurt others when I have to, not just cause you can. " Xukh takes a deep breath slow his pulse think clearly. "No you can't hurt the Panymt they are made of rock it will be hard to cut."
"<span style='color:red'>hmm ok then i accept your story.....for now atleast but can you explain the serpents? in all my years living here i've never seen such a creature have any of you seen anything like this???</span>" razorback said before looking back at the water "<span style='color:red'>uh oh i think we have more company people differences aside looks like more serpents</span>" the water stiring and more serpent heads poping up out of the water "<span style='color:red'>i'd like to see your panymt in action shorty</span>" the the small figure had never given his name so razorback didn't know what to call him. Getting in an attack stance one of the serpents lunged at him razorback doging just in time swinging his sword making a deep gash in the skin of the serpent but he didnt see the second one lunging at him and getting a bite to the leg "<span style='color:red'>ARRGGHH!!! FUCK IT THAT FEELS LIKE MY BLOODS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>" he yelled dropping to one knee he tried standing with great difficulty he hoped that the short figure and mourn would back him up <span style='color:red'>"i really could use a hand here.." </span>he was gasping for breath now the poison coarsing though his viens.
Seeing Razorback drop Mournbringer jumped forward smashing the skull of the serpent that bit Razor. Another hiss turned him around and three more were emerging from the water. One struck sinking it's fangs into Mournbringers shoulder. "Damn their venomous!" Mournbringer ripped the serpent from him and smashed its head in. "I hope your magic is potent little one. Because I need you to hold off the last two while I tend to this poison." Mournbringer moved to Razorbacks side and knelt down keeping an eye on the serpents. "This" he said as he pulled out a small vial "is an anti-venom it might work but being from a different species of serpent it might not." Besides that he pulled out a syringe and a new lump of the brown moss he chewed. "Chew on this." He gave the moss to Razorback. "It's a heavy narcotic and will relieve the pain maybe even knock you out." Mournbringer filled the syringe and jabbed the needle in Razorbacks arm injecting the anti-venom. He did the same for himself. "We will have to get to a town soon to be treated." Mournbringer looked to the serpents and the little one was doing well. Then he looked in Razors eyes they were becooming dull and glossy. He couldn't tell if it was the venom or the drug, he hoped it was the latter.
Xukh Reacts as fast as he could, it didn't matter now that they find out he a fey, now was not the time to hide a petty secret if some life was indanger. He pulls off, His fine white feathered wings spreads out, his hands glowed, spikes started to exploded from the ground implining on of these snakes in the head. The line changed direction heading for the other snake but it reacted slithering away and right at Xukh. It coils quickly then lanches itself at xukh it mouth wide. one of the rockes that was circling Xukh shoots off and into the mouth of snake and it head explodes. Xukh pulled at his white shirt. "There?" He picks up his cloak and throws it on, but leaves the hood down for now.
Razorback could feel the anti-venom working to some degree but it wasn't enough he'd need proper treatment and soon otherwise he would die of venom poisoning and he was having trouble chewing the the moss mourn had given him he could feel his body going numb "<span style='color:red'>uh guys my legs are numb i can't walk and wheres the nearest town from here</span>?" he said grogerly "<span style='color:red'>oh lookie there a faydragon hehe</span>..." razorback giggled the narcotic having a strange effect on his brain. As he lay there he could here mourn and the fey talking about what to do with him like how to get him to the nearest town and other things but before long he was having trouble hearing <span style='color:red'>must be another side effect to either the drug or the venom</span> he thought and now was whispering stay focused to himself amongst other ramblings. he realized he was becoming delusional and managed to say "<span style='color:red'>pl..ease he..lp me...</span>" before falling uncounsious.
