Strayer Shrine

Cynder stared at the thing with wide eyes.
It was a light purple, closer to blue then anything.
"Artemis, we need to hurry..."


---
The blue barrier was up within a second, and the killing curse deflected as easily as if it had been a simple stunning spell.
It hit the ground and fizzled out.
Liesel gave a soft chuckle, shaking her head.

"You're going to have to try harder, pretty boy."

Artemis: -I look at it in worry, she was right, we had to hurry.- HIT IT WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!! -I point my wand at it and fire off every single spell that came to my mind, thinking of Liria to power my spells-

Crouch: -Crazy grin- Fine then... seems I'm going to have to surprise you... Jez, Raven, distract her for a bit, I need to power this up....

I watch their fight, intrigued, then smirk when he asks me and Jez to distract, "Gladly..." I throw a few powerful curses at Liesel.

-I put my wand atop my hand and my wand begins fusing with my hand -

-Nods and laughs sinisterly at my order and i go up and throw curses at Liesel. I run closer until im merely an arms length away. I send some curses flying with such speed it made them nearly impossible to dodge unless blocked-

Runs outside and see's everyone and runs over to a place and tries to hide from the spells-

-Both Artisan and Crest follow Isabella and guard her as she makes her way to the other children-

gives them a thankful smile-

Cynder began to throw spells and curses at the Circle, but it appeared that the same blue shield that Liesel used was protecting the damned thing, as well!
Cynder felt herself shaking as the purple faded into more of a blueish color.
This had to be destroyed.

---
Liesel snarled with anger as she held the shield around her, their minor curses being absorbed into it's surface.

"Fools!" The woman snarled, sending a burst of magic like that of a gale-storm towards Raven and Jez, "Out of my way!"
However, in the corner of her eye, Liesel saw Crouch.
Interesting.
A wicked smile grew over the woman's face.

I laugh, having a good time; fighting helps release my anger. I deflect as much as I can, but get pushed back as I try.

Crouch: -Done. My arm was now completely made of Redwood. Crazy Grin- Well Liesel... can you keep up with this pace? -I fire spells at her so rapidly that almost no human on Earth could possibly deflect it- FEEL MY POWER!!!

Artemis: DAMMIT! Why aren't they working?

Artisan: -I say to Crest- C'mon! Artemis may need help! -Starts running-

Crest: -Nods- Right. -I follow-

-i stare wide-eyed for a moment at crouch then laugh darkly and return to sending curses in Liesel's direction-

looks at the circle..maybe..I could help! No...I didn't even know how to do magic.....It was better if I stayed in my shelter.

The surprise in Liesel's eyes was overshadowed by the pure giddy joy of it.
She held her wand firmly, backing up a few paces, holding the blue shield as long as she cood. Many spells were deflected.
Many even absorbed into the blue field.

And the woman grinned.
"I know all your spells, Crouch. You are bound to me!"
Placing her wand on her palm, the thing began to fuse to her own hand.
A mad laugh escaped her throat, her eyes wild.

----
Cynder shook her head.
"I... I don't know! B-but Artemis, we need to keep trying!"
More curses. More failure.

-a bad feeling started creeping in the pit of my stomach, but i will it away. I send more hexes and cursed, increasing the power in them, focusing on breaking down the shield with every bit of my power-

Crouch: -My crazy grin gets extremely wide. The idiot! The side effects of using this spell with an improper wand were fatal! Hell, I almost died because of them! But Amy made a wand for me that was more suitable to my physical essence! Only I could do this spell without dying- Game over... Liesel...

Artemis: -I continue firing spells at it, but to no avail-

-Crest and Artisan begin trying to help us destroy it-

Runs up to Artemis and doges spells and grabs his hand- You have to! Come on! Try HARDER!

Liesel spun, her hand seemingly made of the black ash wood that her wand had been created from.
Of the Power!
She shot rapid curses at Jez and Raven before stopping, panting slightly.
Her eyes flicked to Crouch.
Game over? For him it was.

Another mad laugh, followed by a cough.
And another cough.
Blood spattered the stone floor. Her own blood. Liesel shook of the fact that her mouth tasted of her own life-liquid. She sucked in a deep breath and straightened.
The woman looked older.

"Crouch, you fool. It was of no use for you to come!"
The woman shot more curses toward Crouch.
She coughed again, a great pain stabbing her side, blood dripping from her mouth.

And Suddenly, she realized she could not lower her arm. The wood arm began to sting, her fingers twitching.

"W-What's going on...?"

----
Cynder lowered her wand, pausing, breathing heavy. The circle was nearly fully blue, gleaming, a small whirring sound echoing from it. IT seemed to be spinning.
"It's too late.."

Crouch: -I approach her, crazily grinning and insanely laughing- You see that particular spell is a bit dangerous! Only a wand that's compatible with your physical essence can properly meld into your arm. Any other wand won't work well. Your body begins rejecting the wand and fights it like an infection. The symptoms of this rejection... coughing up blood, weakness and my favorite... death.

This game was over the minute you used that spell... now, I think I'll let my brilliant spell end you... it'll be slower than anything I could do...

NEVER and I mean NEVER underestimate CROUCH JR THE IV!!!!

Artemis, Crest and Artisan: -We all continue firing-

I look up at the man with the wood arm..he was scary but was strong I run up to him- Please help!

-smiling a very evil smile i laugh at the scene as i dodge her final few spells with ease

-I look down at the girl trying to get my attention- Beat it brat...

crying- If you don't the everyone in the whole world will be KILLED!

What's that to me? I don't care what happens to the world!

OOC Give up Lir, Crouch WON'T help Artemis in this case

OOC I'm bored!

IC What about the people in it? Surely there's someone you care about that you don't want to see killed!
