Fantasy ~ FableWood ~

Zelnite falls as he misses his strike, cursing at himself. He stands up again, readying for another strike. Seeing as Luness has been trapped, he approaches her carefully. "C'mon, I'm just trying to help" Preparing the rope to tie her legs, rushed towards her once again.
 
Hissing at Zelnite as he approached her, Luness crouched down, preparing to jump. When Zelnite rushed her, Luness waited until he was at the perfect distance and then leaped at him, aiming to tackle him to the ground. Just like before, her claws were extending and her jaw was wide open as she aimed to latch onto one of Zelnite's limbs, be it an arm, leg, or even a shoulder. If successful, Zelnite would have a really bad wound much like the one Luness was still trying to recover from on her forearm. With all of the sudden and vigorous activity after healing so soon, Luness' injury had begun to bleed through the bandages and the bone was struggling to keep itself together after such short healing time.
 
(Im at school during break xD )


She got up and walked outside her normal glow dulling in the cold climate. She really liked the frozen lake so she simply walked outside and sat down on the icy lake.
 
Leia woke up to the sound of a scuffle outside. Looking out her window and beyond the frost she saw Luness shoot by, quickly pursued by Zelnite. She saw them clash...and it didn't look like sparring to her. Then her heart caught in her chest. The Chalice! Tripping over the blankets in her hurry to dress she grabbed he sword and her tunic, throwing the garment on and hastily fastening the belt of her scabbard. She dashed out into the square and made a beeline for the healer's house.


"Hey granny! Granny! We've got trouble."



The old healer had just put something around her neck. The pipe hung from her mouth, glowing in the dim light.



"I know. Go on ahead and try to get her to stay in one place."



Leia did as she was told, running out and listening for sounds of struggle.



"Please don't eat anyone..." She mumbled under her breath. It didn't take her long to find them, but when she did she didn't have the slightest clue what to do.



"Luness!" She called. "Don't give in! Its a spell! Its evil. You can control it. Remember who you are!"



Ward woke curled in a ball of blankets by the fire. He had changed back into a gryphon overnight, really he couldn't understand how humans dealt with being entirely fur or featherless. He stretched like an over-sized cat and yawned, padding downstairs. Midway he changed back into a human and pulled his vest tighter around his slender form.


"Good morning everyone." He said pleasantly, then noticed the open window that had alerted Nyr of trouble.


He frowned at it for a second, his brain slowly kicking into gear. "Bit cold for open window's isn't it?"
 
Zelnite jumps back, narrowly avoiding the critical strike. Just then he notices her wound, it seemed to be bleeding. Zelnite found his opportunity, Luness won't be able to move as swiftly with the injured leg. He waited till that moment, he didn't want her leg injury to be even more severe.
 
(@KattRai Youre good, its perfect!)


Quincy slowed to a stop as they returned to where their walk had started, an unrestrained smile on her face. “Youre some of the best company Ive had the pleasure of keeping." She said softly, turning her smile to him. She was about to speak again, to thank him, when the sounds of a fight eached her ears. “Whats going on?" She exclaimed, following the sounds quickly.
 
Luness landed heavily after the missed tackle and immediately face planted thanks to her injury. Hearing someone shouting at her, Luness' ears flickered towards the noise, but she couldn't make out the words. Shaking her head and then snarling, Luness shakily got back to her paws and began limping around to Zelnite's side, hissing before she sprinted forward and nipped at his ankles, hoping to trip him up or distract him. While her nipping might give Zelnite a cut or two, they wouldn't be deep and only served as a distraction and potentially a method of tripping him.

Leo smiled at the company in the hall. He was glad to see others in good well rested spirits. Only a few moments after Ward awoke, he picked up on something with his keen hearing. He moved over to the open window and took a good look around. He may have only had one eye, but it was just as good as two. Following the sounds with his ears he honed in on the noises of the struggle. He saw Luness and Zelnite, and was able to piece the events together. He turned back to Ward "My lord, there is trouble with the shifter Luness." With that he hopped over the balcony and down to the ground below. He hit the ground running and made his way to the group gathering around the two just as Leia bagan shouting at Luness.
 
Zelnite tried to dodge it, with one slip-up he was caught, Luness ended up biting his ankle and tripping. As he falls, flat on his back, he was prepared for the worse, thinking if Luness would finish him right there. Then he hears the shout of Leia, granting him a bit of hope.
 
((@Lioness075 Did you have a plan on what happens to Luness after this or should we make something up?))


Leia cursed as she saw her words had no effect.



"There's no way I'm hurting you." She said flatly. Suddenly Zel tripped, leaving himself open to Luness' mercy.



"Don't hurt him!" She launched herself at the pair, aiming to put herself between them.



Ward gave the others a worried look and followed Leo quickly, transforming once he was outside and loping down the street alongside him.
 
(I do have plan. ^^)


Luness was about to rush Zelnite, but froze when Leia rushed forward and put herself between the pair. Hissing at Leia, Luness arched her back and then swatted at the air between the two. Her mouth had a bit of Zelnite's blood around it, but Luness didn't seem to be fazed by this in the moment. Hearing more people rushing over, Luness' ears flickered to the opening in the alleyway, her escape. Glancing at Leia for a moment, Luness didn't make any moves, but then was sprinting away in seconds, leaving the alleyway behind along with a a single bloodied paw print as a trail behind her in the snow. As Luness sprinted through the streets, she quickly halted when she could smell Leo and Ward approaching. Flattening her ears and whining, Luness turned around and began sprinting the opposite way, and away from the gates in which she'd originally been aiming for.
 
(Well, I doubt you'd be able to keep up with a franticly sprinting lynx and she's no longer sprinting towards the gates if you read my last post)
 
Banba awoke suddenly, her scales stopped at an unnatural tint of purple instead of their regular green. Furrowing her brow, eyes cloudy, she tried to sort out the thought going through her head. Sort? When did she do that? She sat up, only to bump the back of her head against the bottom of the bed. She grew more confused, panicked noises escaping her lips. Slowly, the panic and confusion shrank, and her noises turned to giggles, madder than her usual laugh. Her limbs shrunk, her hair disappearing as she became a Banba sized lizard, cloak wrapped around her neck. She moved downstairs just as Leo and Ward ran outside to investigate some form of danger. Propping herself up against the window frame, she watched the other born shifter attack, and then flee. Banba blinked, watching the shapes of the others intently, waiting for a signal to do something.
 
Ward was following close behind, with Leia right beside him. When he saw Elena he called out.


"Don't get too close, she isn't herself!" In several bounds he had caught up to her, ready to protect her if need be.


It was then the healer emerged from her house, observing the situation carefully. For now, she did not act, but pulled on her pipe in a concerned manner.

((Maybe an injured lynx :P ))
 
(We're all very calm lol, but I gotcha. I get busy too)
 
( Sorry for intruding I felt compelled to do something too )


Nyr could sit idle no longer and she flew after Luness as fast as she could. She was very fast but due to her injury she was able to keep up with the injured lynx and was finally able to get ahead of her slightly. Her eyes gleaming she commanded the wind to turn on her companion not to hurt her but to slow her down. When she felt confident enough she landed in front of her and stretched her arms out in s prohibitive way.


" Hold, Luness. " she told her, anger and seriousness on her expression. " Go no further, for we are here to aid you. "
 
Leo watched as Luness took off away from the group. She was frantic, and feral and she needed to be brought back to the group so they could help her. Tightening his legs he dashed off after her, the entire time trying to console get and bring her back, "Luness!! Do not let this madness consume you, you can fight it. Your stronger than those beasts from yesterday!!!" He continued until he saw the dread raven drop infront and came up behind her to help keep her from running again.
 
Luness yelped in surprise at the suddenly changing winds and then skidded to a halt, tumbling in the process when Nyr landed in front of her. Shakily getting back to her paws, Luness looked ahead and saw Nyr as just a bird, something to be hunted. Snarling, Luness crouched down and was about to attack Nyr when she heard someone approaching from behind. Luness whipped around to see Leo, who appeared to be intending to keeping her from running away by standing her way. Despite this, Luness was smaller and more agile compared to the larger feline guardian. Feeling cornered and highly defensive, Luness spat at Nyr and Leo before sprinting on all fours towards Leo, intending to dive under his legs and sprint past him.
 
Nyr sent a message for Leo in her mind, hoping that the guardian would understand.


" I will try to distract her, be ready to catch her. "


With that she yelled at the fleeing lynx.


" Luness! " she called out as she picked up a sliver of ice from the ground, as sharp as sword, slitting one of her fingers. Red, crimson blood started to pour out from her fingers, staining the pure white snow beneath her feet. " If you want to sate your blood lust then come! I am but a bird waiting to be defeated by a mighty feline beast. "
 
((So, what is the plan?))


"You, gryphon!" The healer barked. "Gimme a boost." Ward was thrown off guard and trotted over, dipping his front half so she could climb onto his back.


"Right. Gidyap!" Ward jumped into motion giving her a disdainful look.


"I am not a horse!"


Then he looked at Elena, "This is my fault." He breathed as they jogged after Luness. "I should have realized she had lost the charm!"
 
(Ah, sorry, I originally planned for her to evade everyone and escape the town. She'd basically be AWOL for a bit until they finally went to the castle in the middle of the frozen lake to get the chalice)
