This rp will chronicle the meeting and clash between Mitsunari and Ciu’nan

Location: Eastern Ryke
Time of Day: 9am


"Spread out and find her." The raspy voice commanded as Mitsunari's wooden shoe stepped over a snaking root that stretched from from any tree and across the stream. His orders sparked his ogres to leave his side, their feet heavy like cinderblocks crushing roots beneath their feet and shaking the ground.

His hunt for a healer had led the kitsune east and in his luck, he stumbled upon a fae woman in the forest. At first he was able to catch her by surprise by feigning weakness and helplessness. But when it became clear that her healing abilities were not enough to reverse his condition, he chose to resort to more drastic measures. "Fae ingredients will surely enhance the healing properties of the potion I create instead." It didn't take long for the chase to begin after he said that.

When he stepped into the stream and felt the cool water wash over his damaged skin, he let out a heavy sigh of relief. That was when he caught the fae's scent on the wind and smirked. "Air Bullet." A strong gust of wind swirled around Mitsunari as a sphere of wind formed in his hand. He quickly hurled the bolt in the woman's direction.

Normally he would use something more destructive, but he needed her to be as intact as possible if he was going to use her as ingredients. But as the wind spell crashed into a tree and dispersed, he started to reconsider. However, the ogres started to move towards the direction that their master had indicated, rushing with their swords in hand.

Ciu'nan
|Fae|​

The children! Must save the children!

Despite the mission at hand, Ciu'nan allowed herself to be distracted by this charlatan. Had she been able to help, it wouldn't have been much trouble at all, but this creature was an ungrateful sort--an ungrateful sort with friends and powers beyond that of your average passing traveler. She had no time for this foolishness, but there was something fun about dodging his spells. A warm up, you might say, for what was to come....

Ciu'nan had taken refuge in the upper boughs of a tree a short distance away, overlooking his approach. Unfortunately, the kitsune did not think their game of hide and seek was as amusing as she did. A nigh invisible spell manipulated the winds and weaponized them, targeting her position. Had she not heard the strange rushing of wind rapidly approaching, she might have not jumped to an adjacent tree in time. It was hard to tell if his aim was really this poor or if he simply wasn't trying. And now he chose to send the ogres after her.

Curious as to what the lumbering oafs could do from down on the ground, Ciu'nan opted to jump to a higher limb, seemingly out of their reach.

Seikatsu Mitsunari ​

The falling leaves as Ciu'nan manuevered through the trees was a sign that Mitsunari had not been wrong about her location. If only his body would cooperate in the way he wished it to. After wandering through the realm it was expected that his wounds would become more of a hinderance, but this was ridiculous. Following their master's command, the five ogres rushed to the tree only to find the Ciu'nan was not behind it but in it. One of the large monsters planted its sword in the ground and without hesitation threw its shoulder into the tree, causing the trunk to shake.

Slowly Mitsunari started to make his way over to the tree and raised his hand to take aim at the canopy. While he preferred to capture her in pristine condition he wouldn't fret over a few burns. "Fox Fire Barrage." Five orbs of fire sparked into existence around Mitsunari. Their burning light illuminated the immediate area and right away the nearby wildlife began to flee.

"Come down and I promise you will not suffer!" As he said that, Mitsunari hurled all five bolts of fire into the air. One after another they crashed through the canopy and on their way set the tree tops ablaze. He had target the five closest trees that surrounded Ciu'nan, hoping to scare her down.

Ciu'nan
|Fae|​

She wasn't sure what she expected, but Ciu'nan ultimately wasn't surprised when the ogre rammed into the trunk. Steadying herself by gripping the trunk, the fae rode out the vibration. It was a nuisance, but if this was all they could do, she was content to ride it out for awhile longer...at least until the tree inevitably gave out against the ogre's mass.

Content as she was, her plans to linger in the tree were suddenly cut short as her [Sixth Sense (Danger)] kicked in. Her eyes darted all around her, but safety was no longer in this or the nearby treetops. As the Fox Fire blazed a trail towards her, Ciu'nan suddenly became invisible [Undetected (Sight)] and plummeted down with her spear held point down with intent to land on and stab the ogre ramming the tree. She would immediately reappear upon landing.

Seikatsu Mitsunari​

"Argh!!" The ogres bellow resounded through the forest, overlapping the sound of burning woods as the flames spread through the trees and began to consume the branches over head. The large monster stepped away from the tree and immediately dropped to its knees as the spear passed through the monster's spine. As it was falling like a toppled tree and Ciu'nan came back into vision, the other Ogres Turned their focus downward instead of up. The sight of one of their own dying enraged the beasts and one after another they let out what could only be described as a war cry. A crazed look creased their faces and without hesitation one of the monsters lunged towards Ciu'nan with their large hands open, hoping to grab and crush the woman.

She was not as helpless as he had anticipated. A smirk stretched across Mitsunari's face as he moved a few steps closer to the fighting. Seeing the large ogre laid out on the floor was somewhat humorous, but seeing as the others were upset by this, the fox kept his laughter in. While they served him and did as he commanded, they were still monsters and followed their destructive instincts. It also didn't help that he didn't speak their language so it was even more difficult to convey his intentions to them. But as the ogre dove at Ciu'nan, Mitsunari hoped that she would display some use of magic, beyond that brief invisibility stunt. If she could perform something worth marveling over then she would be even more valuable.

Ciu'nan
|Fae|​

Ciu'nan crouched as the ogre sank beneath her. She tugged on her spear, but it was stuck fast in the ogre's carcass. As she worked the haft back and forth, her ears perked upward then flattened against her skull as the remaining ogres bellowed their outrage. She didn't need words to understand what they felt: she was feeling it too. Her head bowed as tears streamed down her face. Even so, a melancholy grin twisted her facial features.

When the next ogre dove, Ciu'nan would hop up, prolonging her hang time by pushing down on the spear shaft, which she plucked free as the ogre slid underneath her onto his friend. Landing on his rump in a three point stance, the tearful eyes shifted side to side at the others then flashed upwards at their ringleader. With a short jump backwards, Ciu'nan would kick off the tree towards Mitsunari, spear poised to strike. Just before reaching him, however, she would disappear under her concealment. The bushes to Mitsunari's left would jostle of their own accord, followed by footfalls stomping off into the brush as Cui'nan became visible in her retreat.

Seikatsu Mitsunari​

"Tsk." As the ogre stumbled and fell over its dead companion, Mitsunari felt frustration bubbling up inside himself. Her evasive skills were amusing for the first half of the hunt, but now they were just prolonging the inevitable and he was getting tired. Watching the fae he could see that there was an inner conflict within her, although it seemed to be small.

Before he could act on that knowledge however, the woman threw herself at him. The ogres were too slow to intercept so he would have to use magic. "Air Bullet!" But as he hurled his wind spell at the last minute, she was already gone.

"Damn it." He ears followed the sounds of movement around him, but it was the sound of footsteps that drew his attention. "Will you really run?! Come back and kill the rest of us!" Despite his magic aptitude, Mitsunari felt this was a fair fight and was somewhat excited at the prospect. The fae's nimbleness made it hard to pin her down and just as difficult to evade, but she seemed more interested in running.

"Air Bullet Barrage." Once again the wind spiraled around Mitsunari, dancing in his kimono and his hair. Then as he threw his arms forward, five bolts of wind chased after Ciu'nan.

Two of them would crash into nearby trees, cracking the bark. Another one would land at her heels, the fourth in her back, and the fifth in front of her. The spell wouldn't draw any blood, but the force would throw the woman forward, disrupting her balance. "Go!" He looked back at the ogres who had been slowly making their way over to him, but at his behest they rushed forward. His attention then went to the burning canopy as the fire started to spread. This battlefield would soon be too dangerous for even him. So he followed ogres and watched as one of them raised their sword and brought it down, attempting to lop off Ciu'nan's leg.

Ciu'nan
|Fae|​

More of those wind spells splintered trees and dug up the ground in Cui'nan's wake. Finally, one made contact with her back and sent her tumbling. As her feet searched for purchase, a root snagged her left foot, causing her to fall. Immediately, she cried out as she tenderly loosed her foot and returned it to the proper angle. It was sprained (Fast E will be unusable until it's healed). As if that wasn't enough to deal with, another ogre was presently stomping up to her, sword poised to do her in.

Rolling onto her back, Ciu'nan kicked the heel of her good foot up into the bottom of the ogre's sword hand, attempting to dislodge or at least stop the swing of the sword. Reaching around her for her spear, she finds it then curls into a sitting position while driving the point into the ogre's foot. Somersaulting backwards onto her good foot, pulling her spear free as she does so, Ciu'nan rises and begins hobbling away with assistance from her spear.

Seikatsu Mitsunari ​

​

The ogre snarled as its blade crashed into the ground and its prey started to limp away. The large monsters quickly continued their pursuit, but Mitsunari stopped them. A raised hand as he stood before them caught their attention and signaled to the simple creatures that they were not to chase. The fox's ears twitched and flicked about, listening to the noises in the distance that were quickly approaching their location. "Pedestrians." He could hear the footfalls of a person, although just barely. If it were another fae then they could be trouble and he wasn't looking to exhaust himself for this small prize.

Following the smell of smoke and the golden glow of the flames, Fantine made her way through the forest and rather than finding just a blaze out of control, she found a fae woman who seemed to be struggling to get away from the fire. "Are you injured?!" She quickly asked as she rushed to Ciu'nan's side. There was genuine concern in her voice which was mimicked in her eyes. Sparing a brief second to look around, she saw no one else in the area, but her nose picked up on the scent of several others and the smell of blood. "Just what was going on here?" She whispered to herself.

​

"I'm gong to put out the fire and then I can assist you. Please just rest a moment." She didn't know if the woman would listen, but Fantine rushed forward in the direction that the flames were coming from. "Greater Squall!' She raised her hands up to the sky and then quickly threw the forward as if she were pushing something. Then came the winds, howling and strong, carrying a storm of rain that began to drench the forest and drown the fire. Fantine turned around and headed back to where sh had left Ciu'nan, hoping that the woman was still there so that she could be healed.

Mitsunari's ogres had started towards the edge of the forest, but the fox was interested in seeing who had interrupted his hunt and what would become of Ciu'nan. To his surprise it was another mage come to put out the flames. After that he didn't need to stick around. "What a waste of a rare resource." He took his leave of the forest, regrouping with his ogres in defeat.

Ciu'nan
|Fae|​

Ciu'nan's senses were on high alert as she scrambled to escape the homicidal fox man attempting to harvest her. Already trying to listen for incoming footsteps, she was well aware that someone was approaching from the side. Unaware it was a friendly, she continued to hobble away. When Fantine began speaking, Ciu'nan jumped away from her and landed on her bad ankle, causing her to collapse in pain. Through the pain, she brandished her spear and readied to defend herself.

Looking eye to eye with the fae woman, Ciu'nan would slowly realize she meant no harm. Then her head jerked to look to where she had hobbled from. Her pursuers had all mysteriously vanished. Ciu'nan's ears perked up as she tried to listen for them, but she came up with nothing. The ill-intentioned creature had suddenly vanished without a trace. Ciu'nan winced as her attention was drawn back to her ankle. The fae woman promised to heal her after handling the fire, so she breathed deep and tried to relax. That was the first time in a long time she had been forced to defend herself to such a degree. As the fae tended to her, Ciu'nan's thoughts returned to her mission: she must continue heading north....
