A woman walked slowly through the forest, at ease. If not for her movement one would barely notice her with her forest-toned garments. Plain they were yet elegant they seemed when you looked at her. Her shoulder length brown hair hung swayed with the breeze. At her back was a quiver of arrows and two sheathed katanas. Her bow hung in her hand and on her shoulder hung a sack with few of her possessions. If one had the magical sight they could see the brilliant falcon wings protruding from her shoulder blades. Her ever-changing magic covered them. She wanders though she was not lost.

He stepped over the large root protruding from the damp sodden earth. Slowly he trudged on through the warm sunlight filtiring through the thick canopy. His sleeves feeling weighted down but light because of the conceled blades. The black cloak behind him, wavering in the slight breeze.

She looked over at her companions. "How long till the next town?" She asked. They had been traveling for awhile now.

The forest had held a certain enchantment Alderyn had wanted to check out. So far they had seen nothing of remarkability.

Thatzly slowly followed behind "Are we there yet" she cried. Hearing no answer she looked up to see that her companion Alderyn had stopped. "What's wrong?" she questioned not getting an answer she began to become angry.

Alderyn looked down the path. She could sense something but couldn't place what it was. Tha aura was strong and its purpose was hidden. "Do you guys sense that?" She asked her companions. If she couldn't figure out what it was they could. Maybe her magic was not strong enough.

Thatzly could sense the tension that had surrounded her friends, something was about to happen. She watched in silence as Alderyn slowly drew her weapons. "What's your problem" she asked in a sarcastic tone. When there was no answer she knew this was no time to play games.

Alderyn focused all her mind into finding what was up ahead. In her minds eye all she could see was a blurry shape. Slowly it came into focus. She opened her eyes with a startled gasp. The creature she had seen was a terrible sight. It was something from a childs nightmare. Long garish teeth potruded from a gaping mouth. It had the stance of a primate and long daggger sharp claws. Its skin was a greenish color and she had seen it looking at her. It new she was there and was gathering others. It ment to attack. She turned to her two companions. "Ready for battle. A creature has spotted us and he has gathered others. They are hostile." She turned back towards the direction the auras were gathering. They were starting to move forward.

Azarath was slowly walking down the faintly trodden down path thinking of his lost mother, father, and sister. His senses hightened. He could hear low grunting sounds from up ahead and the clanging together of daggers. Quickly speeding up in pace he broke out into a run, pulling his weapons out of their seethes. The sounds were getting louder. He came to a clearing where he saw three young women, weapons drawn, staring at something. Then his attention was drawn to something much larger, a huge green primate with seemingly deathly claws.

"Alderyn what is wrong?" Kethria said walking out of the shadows of the woods. She was dressed in her usual royal-purple shirt, black pants, knee-high boots and black hooded cloak. Her hood was up hiding her long dark brown hair and purple streaks. Parts of her face were in shadows. Hiding her markings on the sides of her face that marked her as a sorceress of Air. Her swords were in their usual place, strapped to her back, and her bow was in her black silk gloved hands, her silver arrows in her hip quiver. "Oh God not again." she muttered. She pulled a long silver arrow out and nocked her arrow. This was going to get ugly she could tell...

Alderyn stood in her fighting stance.She looked at the creature. She let the glammer on her wings fall. Then with a downward stroke of her falcon wings she sot herself at the creature. It brought its claws up and parried her twin katanas attack. The fight commenced. She was able to parry the creatures claws. They were surprisingly fast for their stature. Dimly she was aware of the other creatures coming out of the trees. The creatures scoreda swipe on her shoulder but she ignored the pain.She was able to land a few blows on the thing but not many.

This was bad very bad Thatzly had never ever been in a real battle before, the closest thing to a battle she was in was sparring last month with Kethria which she always lost. "No!!!!!" she screamed as the monster leapt towards her claws at ready to swipe. She stood frozen in fear. "I need to become stronger!!!!!" she screamed,"to avenge my family!". She quickly grabbed her spell book and began to chant, but she had no time to finish the spell. The monster had struck with so much force that she flew into Alderyn.

Alderyn had just finished an attack on one of the creatures when she felt the impact of Thatly's body. She was unable to stop herself from being run into a tree. Her head snapped back and hit the bark hard. Black spots swam in and out of her vision and she was sure the wetness she felt behind her head was blood. She forced herself to look up. Over top of the mass that was Thatzly she could see the malicious grin of the creature. Pulling her wits about her she threw up a quick sheild. It encompassed both her and Thatzly. She knew it was weak but it was all she could do. The pain in her head was causing her to lose concentration. The creature rammed itself against the shield. Every time it hit she cringed. Thatzly had yet to move off of her. She cursed under her breath.

Soon after being thrown into the large tree with Alderyn Thatzly began to grow dizzy. The last thing that she heard before she fell unconscious was the shatter of Alderyn's weak barrier and a thunderous roar.

Azarath was astonished. He had never seen a creature like that before. It was bearing down on two fallen people. Its dagger like claws ripping through the air and smacking against something like a barrier but it instantly shattered into millions of small shards that quickly evaporated into the air. Azarath jumped into action. Taking stance he ran up to the creature while its attention was diverted, blades out. Although before Azarath could get to it the thing heaved to the left so Azarath only grazed its shoulder. Strange gooey liquid ozzed out as it took a lunge at Azarath. He braced for impact.

"Great leave me...." Kethria muttered to herself as Azarath prepared to get hit just as badly as Alderyn and Thatzly. A large creature was heading towards her, Kethria pulled an arrow from her quiver again and prepared to shoot quickly. Before Kethria could shoot though the creature swung at her. Its claws caught her side and left large gashes in her side. Kehtria backed away from the creature then shot her arrow at the thing's head. As the creature backed away in pain, Kethria looked down at her side. Blood streamed from the long gashes and hot white pain began to flare where the gashes were. "Crap..." Kethria gasped. She needed to heal herself soon... The creature came back again ready to take its revenge..."Oh no..." Kethria groaned. She quickly pulled out a knife making a small effort to defend herself. But as the creature rammed her with its head into a tree...Kethria dropped the knife...Now she was hurting on her side, back and head. Her back was bruised and scratched...she could feel the blood beginning to stream down...and she could feel a headache beginning. "I am in deep trouble..." Kethria muttered as she tried to get up. He back was burning with pain and her side hurt badly, she was beginning to get dizzy and again one of the creatures were coming after her..."Just my luck." Kethria said and then the creature hit her again into a tree...

Alderyn felt the shield brake and looked up. The creature stood over them with a malicious smile on its hideous face. She glanced quickly at Thatzly and groaned inwardly as she realized the girl was unconcious. Gathering her strength Alderyn pushed herself off the ground and towards the creature. The creature was surprised. Her wings gave a powerful backward thrust just as the creature fell forward, dead with its throat cut. Its head was inches from Thatzly's prone body. Alderyn was ambushed by another creature before she ahd time to celebrate the others death. She engaged in battle with a slightly smaller creature. Surprisingly, even in the state she was in, she dispatched the thing quickly. She looked around. The number of creatures had dwindled. There were enough to be easily handled though. She ignored the wounds that ached around her body and launched herself at another creature, ready to take it down. The thing was only slightly bigger than the last one.

Luckily the creature struck him with the fist part of its hand and the claws only scraped him. The blood started to run down his forearm he had blocked himself with, dripping to the ground. The one that had attacked him had obviously taken intrest in something else because it quickly dispatched. Looking around Azarath found that there were only a few more more of the creatures left. One started eyeing him maliciously and charged. Azarath had to think quick. He thought back to his simple elemental magic skills and slowly chanted. Sure enough. A thick wall of damp earth rose from the ground only feet ahead of the creature. It plowed through the wall with much effort. It lay unconcious, the stupid thing rammed the wall with its head. Quckly Azarath Hastened over and sliced its neck, and moving on to his next target only after getting deep gouges in his back from another attacking creature.

Thatz slowly emerge from her sleep but found she had awoken to chaos. Her friends were all bleeding from major wounds and she knew they wouldn't last much longer. Thatzly stood up shakily and grabbed her spell book while the creatures were busy fighting her friends. She chanted a spell and a blinding white light followed.

Kethria was getting angry now.... The creatures were attacking non-stop and she was getting no chances at attacking back and defending herself. One more creature clawed her leg then Kethria lost it. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" Kethria screamed in rage. She threw up her hands and the creature flew backwards in a tree. Kethria tool a step closer to the creature and removed her silk gloves. "Now you asked for it." she said and black and purple flames bursted from her palms. She took one more step closer then she threw the ball of power flames. The creature was trapped in the magic and screamed in rage and pain when the creature began to burn. The flames incased the whole creature then with a final scream the creature disappeared. "Whos next?" Kethria whispered threateningly. She turned to the next creature and threw another ball of flame...this is why you never get Kethria, sorceress of Darkness and Air, angry...
