The Black Lake

"there you go..make this fun for me." she grinned as dodged around his spells with graceful steps. Artisans blood was like a sugar high as moved closer to him again. Her eyes were set on him as the huntress she was, ready to attack with precision.

I was not the leader of the Strayers for nothing. I was bred to defeat the forces of darkness. And so shall I do!

"This war is over now!" I point my wand at her and fire the blood boil spell I had to learn when I joined forces with everyone to fight Aadius.

She stopped dead the spell hitting her directly a small gasp escaped her as pain shot through her entire body "it will never end.. Don't you get it? get rid of us and more will come.. The constant battle of light and dark is a constant struggle of the ages. Trust me I've watched it over and over." The words were soft, but she was buying time. she was tired of this, the constant war with the Strayers she was ready to end them here.

"I'm going to end that struggle forever. Enough light in the world will drown the darkness. All you people do is corrupt the world. You cause pain and misery wherever you go. But no matter where you stand, my family and I will stand as an obstacle."

I ready my wand for another round.

"you're such a hypocrite..your pathetic family will die.. Do you not see? We are immortals.. Using you as play things. Your toys that break and then die and then we get new ones." And with that she flew towards him wanting nothing more than to shred him to pieces as her wand flashed spells flying from it the air becoming thick and hard to breathe round the two of them from one of the spells. "lets see how well you can fight once you can't breathe."

Holding my breath, which to my good fortune years of training have made my lunges strong, I knew I needed to move our fight away from here if I was to live.

Let's see, vampires are weak against sunlight and blood boil. How could I factor those in? Of course!

"ACCIO Nimbus!" Like that my broom flew out to me and I ride into the air. The clouds were blocking the sunlight, I'll blow them away to get the area more to my advantage.

She grinned "sunlight again.." She pulled the necklace from her collar "what? Didn't think I have protection?" She tucked it away safely and grinned.

"HEY! Ya forgettin' someone wicked bitch of the north?" From behind Topher makes a move to try and steal her necklace from her, managing to at least sever the material holding it on her neck.

She growled her wand turning on Topher now "you don't matter." And with that she cast a crucio at him waiting to hear the sweet sound of his screams. Her skin burned a bit, but it would take a while for the sun to harm her greatly.

Topher: Before falling and doubling over in pain, I cry to my friend, "NOW ARTY!!!"

Artemis: Way to go Topher! This is a perfect opportunity. I point my wand down upon Amy, "LUMOS SOLEM!!!"

She paused and with a swipe of her wand shadows enveloped her and Topher "ill have to admit that was clever" her voice seemed to echo not coming from anyone direction. "but you'll pay for interfering.."

I chuckle like she told a humorous joke, "It's what I do best. Ya know, what can I say? I'm bad luck."

I ready my eyes to cast misfortune onto her, come on Evil Eyes, dont let daddy down now...

Ooc took long enough to find the post, lol

ic 'violence can't just be cured, i let it in, its become part of me now.' her nails became sharper to demonstrate. 'i really am sorry, for everything.' she knew her choice would make her lose the precious little she'd been working for, but maybe it was better if she tried to change.

OOC: Assuming this hasn't finished...

IC: Crouch's blow knocks me back. I lower my muzzle and snarl at him, my fur bristling.

This wolf is on my territory without my permission. There is the possibility of him hurting my friends, my pack. Threats like that cannot stay.

I bare my teeth at him. Leave!

Amaya wolf: i'm a sit this one out. maybe. lul.

Eugene: "I didn't say 'cured', just pacified a little. But regardless, I accept your apology. As well, I'm sorry for if I ever hurt you."

Crouch: I will serve the Dark Lord to my death!! He's the one, the only one who can fix this worthless existence!

You will not interfere with his methods!

Too late for that, I growl, pacing forwards. You are all OUT.

It's a struggle to form proper thoughts through the haze of battle, but I force myself to. If I can think a little more human, I should be able to fight back better.

OOC must resist villain cliches, must resist villain.... Ah fuck it...

Ic

NEVER!!!

With this last thought I surrender my wits to the chaos around me and lunge for Phoenix's neck.

OOC:

IC: I duck to the ground, both to attempt to avoid the attack and to try give the impression of surrender, when really I fix my eyes on his throat. As soon as he gets close enough, I'll leap. It's a struggle to stay still and weak looking when the enemy is right there.

Is she surrendering? Well when life gives you an easy kill, you don't ask questions.

I ready my fangs to pierce her throat.

Fool!

I spring upwards, angling my muzzle so I can get a good grip on his throat but not deal a fatal bite. While that would be... interesting, I doubt it would gain me any favour with my own side if I killed him.

OOC after all Crouch did?! I think they would give you the Medal of Honor!

Ic

Pain.

Blood.

Those were the only two thoughts in my head as my throat was grabbed.

You wouldn't dare...

OOC: At the end of the day, Phoenix doesn't want even Crouch's blood on her hands... paws... whatever.

IC: I tighten my hold, growling. Try me. I DARE YOU.

OOC: Brb, possibly about 20 minutes.

I seem to relax, letting my paws rest in the ground but grab a clump of dirt to throw in her eyes.

OOC ok

I give a sharp tug on his throat, my muzzle wrinkling with distaste. Bloody hell. Your scent is gross.
