The Bloodletting

[Sephirothsicase]

This is an RP for Embri, Shee Mon and I, Maaaybe Raven, if she so chooses...

As is in the Amphitheatre, this is a story, so it would be much apreciated if you did not interrupt the story...

~~~~~~~~~~~

*Seph was sitting cross legged infront of Shee Mon, with a purple ball in one hand, slightly levitating above him was another blue ball, except this one was spinning with the most slightes "Hummm" Seph had his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating on something, after about 5 minutes he spoke out*

Can you feel it yet? You must be able to feel the energies around you, otherwise you wont improve...

[Angel]

*Angel grits her teeth and concentraits. her hands clench and her fingers dig into the soft earth. with an effort she says,*

yes, but... it is so... faint...

*slowly an image forms in her mind, akin to what she sees with her special eyes but far less detailed.*

i've got it..

[Sephirothsicase]

*Nods*

Then keep your image on the ball...

*Slowly Seph rose his hands into the air and split the ball in half, the smaller ball fell inbetween, right infront of Seph's face and floated for a moment until Seph opened his eyes, the ball fell into the smaller purple half, as he closed the entire ball, the small humming sound ended, only to make the ball vibrate, soundless, Seph rose that into the air, a little higher*

Now, Focus on the ball, concentrate on the vibrations and focus in on it...

[Embri]

Embri dozes lightly nearby, resting beneath the shade of a broad leafed tree. The soft sounds of nameless insects softly buzzing and whirring is overlaid by the occasional trill of a bird, and the soothing melody of wind through grass. Oblivious, the unicorn shifts position slightly, resettling her wings around her widening belly.

[Angel]

*she tracks the movements carefully, keeping her eyes closed. misty bars, of what she assumes must be energy or magic, beggin to come into focus.

she ignores them and follows Sephs instructions, focusing on the movement. it is barely visable to her but she focuses her mind it and it expands to fill her concentration.*

i cant get any ..closer..

[Sephirothsicase]

*She may have not heard that, but Seph heard something louder, much louder, something far to the east, obviously none of them had heard it, because this had happened several minutes ago, he heard feet tromping, and somebody was coming, not somebody, a whole party, couldnt have been the residents of the Dojo, they would never come out like this if something was seriously wrong, and he would have been notified someway, this could be fun, Seph dropped the ball and caught it in one hand, standing slowly up he took two steps towards Shee Mon and offered her his hand*

Well, I didnt expect you to get it, it is only your third lesson...

*Another sound, this was much louder...*

[Angel]

AHH! oh jheeze... you know how much that does me in! i'm not going to have enough balance to fly for HOURS!

*She had been concentrating so hard that her mind had been snaped lose when the ball had dropped, its a feeling similar to going too deep under water and popping your ears. she takes his hand and pulls herself upright.*

why are we stopping early? something wrong?

[Embri]

Embri snorts, awakening with a start and lurching to her hooves. Pleasant dreams of cake, owls and ice cream are shattered by an all to real sensation inside her. Shaking her head and looking in confusion at her belly, Embri's sleepy thoughts echo.

~It ... kicked me!~ A mixture of annoyance and puzzlement play out across the unicorn's face.

[Sephirothsicase]

*Seph smiled and turned to the Unicorn, the look on her face and the direction she was looking at gave the feeling away so easily*

Mmm, That means it may come soon...

*Seph looks a little darker*

Mmm, Yes, Things are about to happen...

In 3...

*A small battlecry was heard*

2...

*Sounds of blades being drawn, Seph drew his own*

1...

*A large amount of what looked like Bandits burst into the glade, they only wore simple leather gear, nothing fancy, just a minor skirmish, Seph drew another blade and let them come to him*

Embri! Get behind us! You are in no condition to fight!

[Embri]

"Not fight? Don't be dumb. Pregnant, not injured!"

With indignation, Embri pivoted to meet the agressors, mane and tail swelling from banked embers to a full blown blaze. Waves of heat radiate from the flaming unicorn, and she lowers her horn to take up a battle stance.

[Angel]

In 3...

*Angel snaps her hands out to her sides and her armour clicks into place*

2...

*she pulls her Katanas out with a barely perceptably ringing noise*

1...

*Angel sets her feet firmly on the ground, wobbling slightly* ..damn... *she struggles to regain her balance for a moment. as the bandits near she grins and fire blasts along her two blades. she strikes out and a lash of whiteish angelfire rips towards the bandits*

[Sephirothsicase]

Stubborn horse...

*Seph was a tad annoyed, plunging both swords into the necks of the nearest bandits, then gritted his teeth and brought it through their necks, throwing his left blade at another Bandit, it caught him in the torse, shifting feet Seph spun around and kicked the guy in the side of the head, a sickening "CRACK" echoed out around the glade as his neck snapped, Seph gripped the hilt of the embedded blade and brought it out of his stomach, his eyes turned a tinge of red as he brought the blade up, slowly running his tounge along the end, swallowing the blood as he took it*

There isss not many, i esstimate 15? Thiss shouldnt be too hard...

[Embri]

Embri taps the nearest leylines automatically, opting for a defensive ploy to begin with. Throwing up layered shields, she surrounds herself with invisible protections, deflecting incoming blows without affecting her own.

Adrenaline runs through her veins, heart speeding and mind rallying for the fight. It has been too long... Embri leans on her power lines a second time, forcing heat to build up just below the surface between the fighting bandits and the reserves behind.

A twisted smile crosses her face, eyes narrowing. One touch of a foot to her booby trap would set the bandits on fire. Literally. Her sardonic mood is spoilt by another kick to her ribs; weak, but distracting. Quiet you, mommy's busy having a little fun... The mare thinks at her foal.

Waiting for an opening, Embri charges at a bandit who foolishly turns his back to her, running him straight through with her horn. The man's eyes bulge out as he looks down in shock at the meter long lance sticking out of his chest. Pulling back her head, Embri lifts the bandit off the ground, still impaled on her horn.

~Look! Bandit-kabob!~

[Angel]

*Angels attach sears through the ranks, taking out two bandits outright. she plunges head first into the battle, blades spinning.

one bandit goes down with half a face and another gets a back shattering kick to the torso. quickly Angels armour is splattered with their blood and she isnt even breathing heavily. almost lesurly, her blades twist and turn, flicking heavy attacks away with little effort and landing her own behind them*

make that... eight... *she grins with satisfaction as the eighth bandit makes a badge of honour out of his own blood on her face.*

[Sephirothsicase]

*Seph had lost the use of his blades long ago, he had impaled a bandit to a nearby tree only to be attacked by his friend, bringing his hand behind him, he lunged forward with it and rammed it through his chest, dammit, his hand was stuck, rather brutishly, Seph headbutted him in the face sending his head flailing backwards, he boot his boot up to his chest and slid him off it, an arrow shot past his head, turning as he did he grabbed it in mid-air and turned around snapping it, grabbing the archer by the neck, Seph held him into the air*

You are going to anssswer some of our quesstionss now....

*Seph narrowed his eyes, giving the message across without saying anything*
