Decended

[alakin1]

"Thanks." Jael muttered massaging his now-free neck, then the norn, the one who didn't seem to be a slave shouted 'run'. Jael grinned grimly and muttered "Sure, because shouting won't give us away."

[Somefreakoverthere]

"Just get moving, twerp! Oh yeah, thanks for getting rid of that scale. It was the one with the tracker."

Taliya added as she boke into a fast sprint, speeding down the pathway to the dreaded castle in which she had been imprisioned for her whole life. Sh'd been given a chance to escape and was going to make the most of it, no matter what.

Name: Rhonda
Species: Grendel
Breed: Wraith (evolved from mostly Banshees)
Sub Breed: Razor (These grendels always have spiky backs no matter the gender, and their claws are very sharp and vicious. Their tail is quite long and lithe and they're not quite as hunch-backed as the C3 Grendels were. They have dark, purple-red hair and their green scales have a black tint to them, showing that Psycho, Demon and Dusky was thrown into the mix of their mostly Banshee genes)
Gender: Female
Age: Adolescent
Notes: Rhonda is a Grendel of mixed morals, although she grew up in the Grendel Jungle with the slavery all around her, she hates it. Pickpocketing and burglary are however, perfectly fine with her, as is killing for self defense. Rhonda hasn't yet learned any Common-speak, so she tends to babble in Grendelese. She is also however, very smart and quick to learn. Unfortunately she's quick to anger as well.
_____________________________________________________________
The heavy footsteps behind them were from the young female Grendel called Rhonda, who'd merely come to see why there was a draft. She'd never liked the way this family kept slaves, but hers was good friends with them so she couldn't try to free them.

This time however, it looked like they'd freed themselves, and Rhonda hid a smile full of sharp teeth at seeing them beginning to run off before she turned around and was confronted by an older male Grendel.

"Why is the door open?" he said in Grendelese and peering over her shoulder before she had a chance to answer "The slaves are running away! After them!"

He said, then glared at Rhonda, who was trying to look innocent as a large group of adult Grendels began to swarm towards the escaping Norns.

"You let them go, didn't you, you little brat"

[Somefreakoverthere]

Taliya looked over her shoulder, and stopped running. Turning around, her red grendel eyes burning with hatred and anger.

She opened her mouth, and charged, claws and teeth leaving a tail of grendels yelping and shouting behind her. She had spotted hre father, and in clear and perfect Grendelese screamed at him.

"I HATE YOU, YOU B******D! IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU!"

She bounced on Rhonda's back, and paid her sctratch on her foot from the spikes no attention as she neatly wrapped her fists around the adult grendels throat, stll screaming at him as her teet and feet kept his legs and other grendels away from her, a thick tail whipping out behind her. She let his neck go and settled with slitting it with her claws.

"I LEAVE THIS CRULE PLACE TONIGHT!"

She howled once more in grendelese, neatly dodging the hands trying to grab her as she sprinted out the doors to her long awaited freedom...

...Followed by more yelpes and shouts as she fougt tooth and claw to escape.

[Swix]

Rhondas sharply toothed mouth fell open as one of the escaping slaves ran back and slit the throat of the Grendel she'd been confronted by. Well, it wasn't entirely that that had made her mouth drop, it was the fact that Taliya had dared bounce on her back just to get to him. She must have really, really hated him. And Rhonda could also feel something sliding down the spines on her back... blood? But not hers, no, from the Norndel.

The Grendels that were left turned turned their burning red eyes on her.

"That slave defended you. You did let them go, didn't you, Rhonda? You've betrayed us!"

They said as they advanced on her. The Razor Grendel swished her tail and grinned at them.

"Yep"

She said, as the whole exchange was in Grendelese, and then turned around. Occasionally roaring, Rhonda pushed her through the mass of Grendels trying to get to Taliya until she was close to her and helped her fight them. Blood and scales were sent flying from her teeth and claws as she attempted to keep them away.

"Go on, go, get out of here!"

Rhonda yelled in Grendelese.

[Somefreakoverthere]

"Understood. By the way, that guy was my dad. I hated him. Thanks for the help."

She bellowed in Grendelese before screaming a war cry, and leaping on grendel's backs and heads with her thick tail beating out blows on whoever was trying to catch her.

"SHIHIHISIISISH!"

The sound of her war-cry was like the sound a rattle-snake makes. Her claws had blood on them and her headspikes had small flecks of blood on them. Her foot still bled, and still she paid it no attention. Right now, she had no time to do so.

[KC11]

Sara yelled and backed away. One grendel was advancing on her, its hulking form moving towards her.

The grendel picked her up and began shaking her. Sara watched as blood was spilt behind the grendel.

She did the only thing she could: She bit the grendel, hard. The scales of the grendel almots broke her teeth, but she managed. The grendel let go of her, and she yelled to the others "GET OUT OF HERE!" and ran.

[Swix]

"Time to leave!"

Rhonda said, rushing past Taliya and barging other Grendels out of the way, although she made it a point to skirt around other Razor Grendels. The Razor reached out a thick clawed hand and plucked the Norndel off the other Grendels back before barging through until she reached the front. Rhonda released Taliya and roared defiance at the others.

They laughed hard at seeing her do this, thinking she was going to fight them by herself.

"LEAVE! NOW!"

[Somefreakoverthere]

"I owe you my life. This I cannot forget!"

Goodbye said, she turned and ran,knowing as soon as she was somewhere safe she was going to have to pay the bill for her beserker rage, and it would take more than it had given. Until then, however, she had to keep going.

[alakin1]

Jael ran after the retreating group,
"Hey! Wait for me will you. Just 'cause I'm not some kind of Grendel killer is no reason to leave me behind!"

[TheBlackSoul]

Name: Arsak
Species: Grendel
Breed: Venom-Evolved from normal grendels, they have large fangs that inject venom when they bite. They have snake-like scales and like snakes, they shed their skins in one piece sometimes. They are normally more slender than normal grendels, and have much longer, slender tails. They still have legs. To make them even more like snakes, they constantly flick out their slender, forked tongues.
Sub Breed: Spitter-This kind of venom grendel has short, front fangs that cannot be folded back. They have a cobra-like hood that is normally folded back and hidden, but can be extended when expressing strong emotion. They are green/black in color. They have got their name from their ability to spit their deadly neurotoxin up to 20 feet.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Notes: A cold-hearted, cynical, apathetic loner. He will not think twice about killing somebody if the situation demands it. While, like all grendels from the Grendel Jungle, he was raised among slaves, he doesn't typically think good of slavery.
-------------------

Arsak was hidden in the shadows, watching the fight unfold in front of him.
He thought about stepping in and stirring things up, but thought against it.

[Swix]

"You better not"

Rhonda said before she made a noise that sounded like a cross between a snort and something unpleasant sent through a cheese grater before she stomped her way back in the throng of other Grendels. She'd heard Jael, that is she'd heard his voice, but she couldn't understand a word he'd said.

Those around her that thought she was simply retreating back sometimes went to slash at her, a few of them caused bloody cuts or managed to rip the scales off but most of them got razor sharp spikes in their hands for their trouble.

Rhonda shoulder-barged a younger Grendel who was standing with several older ones in an attempt to block her way to Jael.

Rhonda held out a clawed hand to the slave, hoping he'd get the message that she wasn't one trying to stop them before snarling in Grendeles at him.

"Come on with me now or you'll never get out"

[TheBlackSoul]

Arsak slunk out of the shadows, tongue flickering to catch the scent. Because of his snake-like form, it was easy to go undetected.

"That one razor grendel isssssss trying to releasssssse a sssssssslave. Ssssssshe'sssssss not going to make it out alive." he hissed silently to himself.

He reared up onto his hind legs, flared his hood, and spat a stream of venom at Rhonda.

[Swix]

Rhonda growled when something wet hit her back and spines, though it managed to splash off her and onto some of the Grendels surrounding her in a tightly packed cluster.

"Screw this"

Rhonda muttered, grabbing hold of Jael then pivoting around and quite literally launching the Norn through the air and towards the others. She didn't stop pivoting however, turning a complete 360 degrees until she was facing the house again and forcefully making her way towards it.

This and Arsaks attack had the effect of splitting the large group into three smaller groups. A few followed Rhonda whilst about a handful turned to try and see where the spitter was, the majority going after the slaves.

((Sorry for the slight powerplay there Alakin, but I thought you might appreciate a lift ))

[alakin1]

((That's fine with me Swix.))

"Thank you, I guess." shouted Jael, as he hit the ground with a large 'thump'. He sat up, rubbing where he had landed,
"Perhaps it would have been better if I'd stayed comfortably in the castle." he muttered, then pushed the thought out of his head,
~Scratch that, I've never felt so alive since before I was a slave.~
