Taking Flight [Inactive]

Kio turned into a beautiful Golden Swamp Warbler and flew high into the air. Kio lover the rush that came with flying. The rush of the wind past his ears. The sight of everything whizzing by as he sped past. The freedom of flying.


After a short flight he reached his hut and dropped down in front of his front door, transforming into angel form mid fall. He fumbled his keys and dropped them twice before he managed to open the door and he rushed inside. He ran to the drawer where he keeps his medical supplies and gets everything necessary for the task at hand. Grabbing these supplies he got up, locked the door and flew into the air, little did he know he left one supply at home... one that would be needed for the matter to be solved.
 
Maeve watched the angels with suspicion. There on the ground, and wounded, she was well aware of her vulnerability. Dizzily, behind fogging senses, she made out their words; some intent to remove the arrow.


Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, certain they were up to something.


She moved her knee out from under her, bracing her foot against the dirt. Swallowing her pain, she moved to a bent-over standing position, and started to back away from them, tensing for their reply.
 
Celeste kept her eyes trained on the downed human. "We need to get that arrow out - now. She's loosing blood."


The human began to stand stiffly and attempt to move away. Celeste wouldn't have that. She needed help immediately, but first she had to convince her she meant no harm.


She stepped towards her, palms up to show she wasn't armed. "What's your name?" She inquired softly.

Ali lightly places her hands on the Human's shoulders. "Hey, you shouldn't be standing," she says softly as she slowly pushes the Human down again.


It looked like she was trying to escape. "We aren't going to hurt you, OK?"

The angel's touch was like acid on Maeve's shoulder, and though Maeve tried to push the creature away, her legs buckled at the slight touch despite herself.


Her knees impacted the dirt, and Maeve felt a freezing coldness perforate her body. Nausea rose like bile up her throat, and she fell, leaning over as vomit poured out. Gasping in horror, she fell forward, too weak to hold herself up any longer. Turning slightly before she impacted the dirt, she rotated her abdomen so the arrow would not pierce deeper.


Sard. The curse word passed vaguely through her mind.
 
Celeste's eyes widened and she searched the sky for any sign of Kio. This human was dying. She wouldn't last much longer. "Let's improvise for a moment," she muttered to herself and moved forwards so she could prop the human up.
 
"What do you need me to do?" Ali asked while looking at the Human. This Human, she was slowly dying.


Where was Kio?

Kio spots the place where he is supposed to go and starts to fly down when he is hit by a hard object and falls to the ground, next to Celeste, in angel form, hurt, but unwounded. Suddenly there were yells and shouts of nearby humans. The rest of Maeve's company (army, group what ever) had arrived.
 
Celeste tore off the hem of her pants, "We have to stabilise the arrow, lest it cause more bleeding. Don't remove it. Right now that's the only thing keeping her alive. It's tamponing the wound, if you will."


Suddenly Kio hurtles down from the sky and lands hard right next to her and shouts fill the air.
 
Comes hurling visibly down at the human army smiling at Celeste mouthing the words Promise you'll miss me? then drops down to fight them to give Ali, Celeste, and Kio time
 
Maeve was trying to keep from screaming out the pain when she heard her people come.


It was the soft-spoken Rodrick that yelled, "They're surrounding her! Men! At arms!"


She heard the familiar twanging sound of bowstrings pulled and loosed. She turned her head, breathing out slowly, and saw twelve running feet.
 
Deirk mouths something at Celeste that she does't catch. It doesn't matter, she's already a blur of motion. Her daggers appear in her hands, shimmering and deadly, and she falls into a battle stance, sizing up the humans entering the clearing.


She spins forwards, swiping her daggers at any who approach. The first human drops. She twirls again and her dagger collides with a firm body with a solid thump.


Deirk. She just sliced Deirk
 
"Deirk! This is all your fault!" Ali yells as she pulls out her tessen, the iron glinting in the moonlight. She stands next to Celeste and stares down the Humans, glaring at them.
 
Waves at Ali taking a spear to the leg blood all over me "Mother..." turns around and punches him hard in the face breaking his nose and sending it back into him hitting his brain
 
Kio drew his trusty katana and flew at the enemy, his angel wings propelling him with extreme force into the belly of one of the humans. Kio quickly then flies up to withdraw from the mass of arrows, only quick enough to escape with only a shallow wound on his left cheek. 
"Deirk!" Kio screamed, Kio sighted Deirk on the battle field covered in blood. The sheer sight of him brought tears to Kio's eyes. Kio dived down to Deirk's aid hoping to help him further and maybe keep him alive.
 
Celeste sweeps her wings outward, distracting a human long enough for her to thrust a blade into his stomach. Scarlet blood washes over her hand.


Jerking the blade back, she drops the man and throws her second dagger at the nearest enemy. He, too, drops.
 
Ali is picking off the Humans at the edge of the battle, cutting their faces with the sharp edge of her two tessen then shutting them to thrust them into the abdomen of the men. Almost all of them were dead, or still dying.


Ali didn't want this, but it was necessary, to survive. Then why are we saving HER.
 
Kio dropped down again landing on a humans shoulders driving his katana through the mans skull. Withdrawing into the air again to stay away from the mass chaos below. Killing with precision and with minimum effort was Kio specialty.
 
Another human approached. In a move too swift to follow, Celeste drew her bow, pulled an arrow, nocked it and let it fly. The arrow tore through the humans neck and she briefly felt shamed to have ended a life in such a brutal fashion. She pushed those thoughts away.


Kill or be killed, she reminded herself.
 
Kio watched the bloody battle unfold below and saw Maeve below lying in a pool of blood. Kio flew down, more like dropped down from the air to her side. "This might hurt, but it will help" Kio said in the most soothing voice he could. "I need you to let me work ok?"


Why was he helping a human? Kio wondered, but instantly put the thought aside.
