Fantasy Dragon Thieves

Azaria drops her hand and sheathes her dagger. She looks over at the human she had met just this morning. "We were heading up to the villages north of the forest for food." The half-elf realizes she never asked his name, but refrains from asking, anyway. The orc can ask, if she wants. She fingers one of her throwing knives absently, giving the other two time to introduce themselves if need be.

Aragaki also finished buying the stuffs he needs on the journey. They are now ready for the hunt. They headed for the gate of the city. As they passed through the gate, the guards gave them a cold eye. The guards seemed to be little Aragaki and Brand. Aragaki pulled his bow and shot two birds with one only one arrow. The guards showed their amazement and turned away. Once in the open wood, Aragaki Knows just where to go. He was leading Brand. The dragon eggs were said to be in the mountains. Before they can reach the mountains, they have to first came across a vast forest. In the forest, many creatures roamed. Some animals were of no threat like deers and rabbits. However some were more dangerous like tigers and jaguars. Aragaki told Brand that they will travel as far as possible before the sun set. Aragaki also told Brand that he had several hide outs in the forest. They were underground hide outs for them to stay at night. Aragaki knows how to survive in the forest.

When they saw a huge rock near the main branch of the river near the city, Brand suggested that they should take a rest and save energy. After they had sharpened their knives, they step forward to one of the hide outs of Aragaki. During their way to the destination, Brand heard a roar from a distant place. Strangely enough, the sound that he heard turned from quietness to loudness in a moment. Suddenly, Brand smelled the danger of life and death, for it might be a big monster rushing toward them. "separate," Brand yelled loudly to Aragaki with his feet jumping out of the road quickly as if he was twitching. He then hid into the bushes and asked Aragak to get on a tree and tried to catch where the beast might be.


 
When Brand squatted down in the bush, he grabbed a handful of earth and smeared over his face and arms. He didn't want to be sensed that he was there, so the earth on his body was so thick that covered most of the scent of him. "Anything clear?" Brand asked Aragaki with only his mouth moving but no sound.

Aragaki quickly climbed up to a nearby tree. From above with his good eye sight, he started scouting for the strange movement in the woods. He heard the sound coming from the right. He turned to the right but saw nothing. Then the sound turned to the left. The "thing" was very quick. Aragaki had his bow and arrow ready just in case. He will prevent shooting the creature for he didn't want to have a combat. They should do everything to avoid unnecessary fighting. Suddenly, the thing stopped moving. Aragaki had a clear view of the creature now. The creature had long claws. It has stripes across his body like a tiger. But Aragaki was sure it was not a tiger. The creature had horns on his head! The creature dug the ground and took a dead rabbit out of the hole. The rabbit must be his prey he hunted moments ago. Aragaki wanted to just leave the creature alone and move on. Aragaki glanced to see Brand. He was still in the bushes. What will he do now?

(@KevinGao0530 : That last bit is considered godmoding; you cannot put another's character somewhere unless its creator has already placed it there. However, if @yangsen chooses to go with it, I will ignore it. If not, I will ask that you cut that part out of your reply.)

 

[yangsen]

(@Zazz : I would discuss the movements of our characters with @KevinGao0530. I think that we had better follow the Rp rules.)

Brand kept his breath blurred but his eyes still caught that creature directly. He saw that there are horns on its head, so that it would be very difficult to attack on its head by sword. Suddenly, he noticed a glance from Aragaki. He realized that this was the sign of waiting for his next action. He devoted an sign to Aragaki by nodding his head, telling him to be ready to aim and shoot. After answering Aragaki, Brand took a light breath.


The next second, Brand stopped his breath and stared at that creature. At this moment, he pressed upon the sheath, pulled out his sword quickly and dashed to the front to attack. Brand was like jumping when heading to the target, but his actually running on tiptoe. He wanted to leave no time for that creature to react. He spared no effort brandishing his sword directly and poked at its throat, which was covered with soft white fur. He made it!! He was sure that his sword successfully poked into the creature's throat. But before the second he send his magic into its body, the creature hit his sword with its claws which contained extremely powerful strength. "It's a pity!" Brand thought in his mind.

Aragaki saw Brand moving. He immediately start to get his bow and arrow ready. He will shoot the creature if necessary. Aragaki will support Brand from high above. Aragaki sent his eagle, Yui, to attack the creature to support Brand. The eagle was well-trained and knew how to take down his enemy. The eagle aimed for the creature's eyes. Yui flapped it wings and used its claws to attack the creature's eye. The first attempt was a miss. The eagle tried again. This time, Yui got a direct strike to both of the creature's eyes. The creature's eyes were bleeding now. Yui probably blinded his eyes. Aragaki saw this as a great moment to attack. He delivered three bows towards the creature's back and all of them were right on target!. "Time for you to deliver the final fatal blow now, Brand !" Aragaki shouted to his pal from the tree.

During the fight of Aragaki's eagle and that creature, Brand had been looking for any chance to attack. He saw that his fencing left a shallow injury on its throat which was not fatal but kept bleeding as well. So there were two injuries and he also noticed that the creature always tried to protect these sites. Then, he moved again.


Realizing that Brand was the first one hurting it, the creature was so furious and that it waved its right strong paws toward Brand. Strangely enough, Brand didn't try to avoid the attack but dashed more rapidly to that creature. When the paws of the creature was almost ready to tear Brand into parts, he moved even faster than its paws. He uses the same fencing which contained magic as well. This time, his sword poked at three places of the creature's body, the lung, the heart, and the belly of it. The power of magic showed exceptional power on the injuries. The creature was unable to concentrate and manipulate its whole body in a few seconds. It could do nothing but watching it blood spraying out from its body. But, its paws was still waving toward Brand by inertia.


"Bang!!" there's not enough time for Brand to escape. He was hit by the mighty paws. The strength was deadly for Brand, he tumbled restlessly on the ground and was immediately in stupor.

Upon seeing Brand falling to the ground, Aragaki knew that he must take down the creature and protect Brand. Aragaki pulled his bow and shot the creature again. This time the creature turned and started to run toward the tree Aragaki was standing on. Aragaki quickly moved to the ground and pulled out his daggers, ready for a close combat. He ordered his eagle to attract the creature away from the body of Brand so he can be sure that Brand will be safe. Once they were away from Brand, Aragaki attacked the creature's throat while the eagle distracted the creature from above. The blow was fatal. The creature was bleeding hard and quickly died of vast blood lost. Aragaki now rushed to Brand. Brand was in a very bad condition. He decided to move Brand to one of his hideouts beside the river bank. Aragaki thought that it will be good to rest and heal Brand there.

(Thanks, guys, for following the rules. Just a reminder that any magic you use comes from your own energy, and will drain you.)

"Where am I?" Brand whispered because of the terrible condition. As a matter of fact, the viscera in his body were injured badly. He found that he was unable to lift his arms up; what's worse, even though he tried hard to opened his eyes, he failed by the lack of energy. He retrospected what happened during the fight. He remembered that he was hit by the strong paws of a beast, and then, he lost his consciousness. "Ouch! it hurts a lot!" Brand wanted to yelled out loudly in order to prevent him from keeping aware of the hurt.


Then he wanted to moved his left arm to touch his sword. But, he found that his left arm was gone!! At that time, he was so astonished that he even tried to jump up and check whether he just lost the connection of his arm or it disappeared for real. Unfortunately, when he successfully opened one of his eyes, the only thing he could see on his body was his shoulder without his arm. He felt so agonized that he even wanted to commit suicide. But this idea was neglected soon, he changed his mind that he had to pursue the fencing skills. He hopped that his fencing was able to be faster and faster. He set up his mind and recovered from the sorrow immediately. Yet he was still very weak and stressful. But he understood that he could do nothing but wait for the recovery of his body.
