Menefer didn't really know what happened but when he bit down in the womans hand did he notice how rich in iron and the warmth of it was. This however caused him dearly as he felt something heavy and metal hit into the side of his face. He didn't know what happened but when he got back up he felt like a rouge carriage slammed into his side as he went tumbling head over heels finally coming to a stop about six yards away. As he stood up weakly did he realize with a few closing and opening of his jaw that it wasn't broke seriously, instead it was bruised and hurt like hell! He wouldn't be able to bite properly for combat any longer, and that it felt better hanging open for the time being.

He thought that all the flying carriages were done with, when another something hit him hard in the side. Suits! I'm getting the crap beat out of me! he thought, when did this guy get soo good? he said as he looked to see what had hit him, ignoring the Jossigy at the moment.

It was the other small girl, her paw decapitated and bleeding everywhere. His eyes flew open in rage and immediately turned back to Cale. Using spells to toss her body around, destroying the other helpless one, and now even picking on kristoff! He seemed to be the only one able to do anything! He gazed over to the retreating Lowlander.

"Kris'off...." he said finding that his voice was a bit tangled with the dislocated jaw. "Graw da gurl!" he said as he charged back to Cale! He would bide them as much time as possible, he had to... he couldn't just let her die.

he couldn't use his bite any more, but he could still rake with his claws. He had to watch out for that sword, it was the most deadly thign about him, so he would attempt to dodge it with the best of his ability by side stepping it (9) so he could go in for a rake across Cale's leg tendons to hobble him so they could flee.

Their was only one thing in his vision, and its name was Cale. Everything else didn't matter.

[Kitty]

He watched as the little deer mix whacked the cat that had claimed that he was going to protect her..... and arched a brow a bit when he just simply ignored her. So much for the feline's 'valiant' efforts, eh? No, the cat was just being self centered and trying to steal a bit of glory for himself... how... pathetic.

He turned his gaze back to Mirai and Viast, a grin plastered on his maw still, although his gaze seemed a little glassy and far off. They had no way of knowing that the shadow demon in his head, caught up with everything far more then he was, was quite literally screaming at him to kill them, or anyone for that matter. Her hatred of the living coming full circle with the rush of adrenaline in her master's blood.

Come on, do it now. Kill them, you can do it so easily! Look at the way they beg for mercy, pathetic!

And for a moment he allowed himself to speak out loud what he was thinking to the other occupant of his mind.

We're not going to kill them, Maraisa. I don't want to.

His ears twitched and the glassyness faded as he reached into the inside pocket of his jacket to remove the two things he'd placed there before. He opened the little black bag and produced a packet, tossing it to Viast and motioning his head toward Mirai.

Giver her half the packet to dull the pain, the whole thing to let her sleep. I think she may need it.

He put the box between his teeth, undid the buttons on both his jacket and under shirt, and tossed them to Viast as well. In doing so it not only exposed the wounds on his side, but also the complete lack of rot his body held should she care to take any notice.

The purple should be strong enough to help you carry everyone, the white you can tear up and dress wounds.

Appologies weren't in his vocabulary, thus that was going to be the best for of one she got. He popped the box open and quickly placed the glass talons located within over each of his claws, upping the potential of pain by quite a bit.

He dashed forward, hands extended to the side so the talons could make their rather unpleasant sound and perhaps distract Menefer as he went to go and collect the Jossigy again. Should he be able to snatch her up again, he;d dig the talons into her skin.


Glass Talons: These thin glass adornments fit over the claws on the hands quite comfortably. They make the claws as tough as rock and only highly magical items can break them now. They whistle loudly and distractingly when swung through the air, if the opponent is using a magical listening ability, the sound will be almost deafening.

[Nathalia]

((Viast flinched when the tall Weasel gave the pair of them another glazed, manic grin.
Was he really going to kill them?
She couldn't believe it!
After they had helped him a-
His words, and the things tossed down to them shocked the Heifer.
She watched him, hazily as he turned away from them.
"Mirai." She whispered, just noticing the girl shoving pathetically at her and sobbing. "No...no, Mirai. Come on. I said we were going, let's get the babies, ok?" She whispered.
She couldn't quite see, tears blinding her to everything beyond the Pup and the portal.
She gripped the packet given to her, taking half for herself (it tasted foul) and giving half to Mirai...she'd need the girl awake in case anything else happened.
She ignored the purple and white frippery, she wasn't in a right enough state of mind to be tying up wounds.
"Mirai, come on, we're going together." She picked the girl up, and tried to heft the Chicken with her, slowly making her way to the portal. They were going to go home, see a doctor, and get ice cream.
Because she had said so.

Menefer's slash across Cale's leg was painful, but certainly not enough to hobble the Deer mix.
Snarling, Cale stamped a hoof down at the man (8), and swung backwards to slash clumsily with his left hand grasping the blade. (11)
"Stupid bastard, you think that slave trader's going to help you?" He asked, watching as the Golfam retreated further and further...until he was gone.
"Your friend has abandoned you. I'm going to offer you the chance to leave, and to live. Do you want it? Or would you rather have your head presented back to you in a bucket?"
He asked, poised to lash out again at a wrong answer.

And then Morpheus threw the Josiggy again.
"Morpheus!" He snarled, as the poor, flailing child finally ruptured against the Torquehelm, splattering him with viscera and gore, intestines hanging from his head and neck like a macabre form of jewelry.
"Morpheus! The girl was not a toy! Watch our sidelines, will you!"
A horrible sound cut through the air from the talons and Cale's large ears flipped flat back as he gave the other Lowlander a look of death warmed-over.
Seriously, was the man a child?

The poor, burst Josiggy girl felt nothing as the last grip on her neck broke it, killing her from shock instantly.
The remains of her body rolled off to the side, away from the fight, something huge and long stirring in the mass.))

Region: Josiggy Marsh/Calloo Fjords
Dealer: Sera
Parents: Neviah x NPC

Notes: How odd...even though her Suit and rank marking clearly say 10 of Spades...it seems to have come out in red? What on earth would make that happen?
This lovely little girl was born at the age of 21! She has basic knowledge of culture and proper schooling, though she is no Einstein, and has a particularly wonderful grasp of the language of the Yarrow Gardens for some reason...as well as some of their plants toxins.
The serpent in her is a rare and precious thing, most will stare at her odd mix in awe, snake scales only visible on her underbelly, the rest covered in fine, soft, mink fur.
She is aware of how she came to explode from her Mother and, though she feels poorly, her streak of narcissism sees it as a necessary evil for the world to be able to enjoy such a wonderful thing as she. She despises Lowlanders for what they did to her Mother though, and how Hellish they made her first few hours of life. Given her way, she'd put every one of them down.



Basic Magical Ability: She can run up to 30mph in sprints and 15mph for up to an hour in extended runs.
Moderate Magical Ability: When activated, she can see black-and-white clearly in the dark. This can be activated and deactivated at will. Should she look at a moderate to bright light with this ability activated, however, she will experience intense pain and be left with a splitting headache for up to one day.

This ability can only work once every three days and will not work on items or abilities that cost 150p or more. It can work on basic punches too.

He stood his ground as he dodged the hoof that was aimed at his body (9) but the backwards slash that came at him cleanly hit him across his left eye, and yet he was good enough to realize that it didn't cut his softer tissues of his eyeball. He blinked as much as he could to wash away the blood, and yet, he had to keep it closed.

He heard the mans words and almost agreed to them though the other Lowlander caught his attention as he saw that he had snagged up the small child. He was about to protest when the child just blew up in his hands. His eyes flew open and couldn't believe this one bit. What was going on, was it Cale that was doing this or was it him? He sat there and looked at the mess on the ground, something long and slender, and it wasn't what it used to be.

He looked back to Cale, realizing that everything that he had attempted to do did nothing to save the children. He gazed back up to Cale, catching his scent with his new feelers. "Cale... I... just don't know..." he said as he sat on his haunches wanting to just go to sleep from all the pain that he was in. He looked over at the woman that exploded out of the second girl and the other as well. "Let me just take them away from this place and I'll leave this subject alone." he said as he started to stand on wobbling legs.

He started to walk over to the Jossigy and some other realm child to nudge her to wake her from her birth.

[Nathalia]

((Something odd seems to be happening to the remains of Fate's corpse...
With a sudden rush and a scream something rips out of them, around the flaming fox child, leaving it to burn quietly on the ground.

A creature, about 7 feet tall and made of what looks like liquid glass in the form of a monstrous Equine skeleton slams out of the corpse and flies towards Morpheus at speeds not often used by anything but Spades.
It crashes into the Lowlander, ignoring all else and searing his flesh with the hot, liquid substance that makes up its being.
grabbing his head in strong fingers, it bites down on his muzzle hard! Sinking in huge, blocky teeth to make a definite scar around his jaw before sinking into his skin over the course of 3 minutes the entire time leaving him writhing and screaming on the ground!
Looks like he'll be there a while.

Skeletal Monster: One of his abilities seems to have backfired! Being used against magical glass has done a number on him!
The monster is absorbed into his body completely and fades from sight, leaving him sizzling in the dust.
The monster in his head greatly resembles the old Hearts Queen Rai in a skeletal form made of liquid glass. It lives in his mind along with Marisa...though it despises her and Morpheus and will do everything it can to injure Marisa should she approach it...and it is more powerful than she.
Once a week, it must do its master's bidding for a full thirty seconds, but during this time, it will also do its best to injure Morpheus...often succeeding in its venture.
The rest of the week, it will do as it pleases, manifesting to frighten its master's friends and lovers, appearing at inopportune times to wound him, tripping him, causing embarrassment and mayhem where it can. It can only come out of his mind four times a week, aside from when he calls it, and while out for an hour each time, it will try to do as mentioned above.
Malicious, vile, and pitiless; it seems to embody some form of Rai's anger at the death of his poor, unsightly daughter at the hands of this Lowlander.))

[Nako]

Stupid chicken, it seemed to have not even noticed just -what- had been attacking the nice Lowlander lady.

His master! Or master by proxy with his little Xolani not here. His broken body was scooped up by Viast and he stared up at his beady black eyes as the weasel seemed ready to attack again!

He let out a feeble cry, uninjured wing splaying out in an act of ultimate rebellion as he attempted to shield the nice stranger's face from his potential blows.

But they never came. Instead there was a -scream-, and Morpheous was on the ground as something made of -glass- was consuming him. Consuming? No. It was absorbing… like water into a sponge.

His body went slack. Relief? Something like that. Why the Ace felt at ease seeing his co-master in distress was beyond him.. but he hadn't liked it when he realized Mo was attacking the nice lady.. the lady who cared for children and tried to keep the others from hurting them.

She was failing so badly.. but the nice lady was hurt. He was hurt. All were hurting and dying.. Trembling violently, he pressed his bleeding head into Viast's chest.

[/|/afamere]

Menefer looked up just in time to see something happening to the dead bodies around them. A glass creature just slammed itself into the body of the other lowlander and he couldn't help but just smile. Another Lowlander got what they deserved, he thought as he moved closer to the child and tapped her again. He toned out the sound of the screams coming from the male lowlander as he turned back to Cale.

"So what now Cale?" he asked as he put himself between him and the newly born adult... how weird. He wondered what was happening and how something like this was happening, was it something to do with the strange fog that had started to surround everyone? Was it the woman that appeared and started blowing up everyone, was he next? Well he didn't want to blow up. He quite liked how he was and didn't want that... he loved life... he loved Mrs. White...

[Kitty]

His ears flipped backward as he eyed Cale for a moment, green eyes narrowed before he took a few steps back, but he didn't say anything.... just sneered. The man needed to make up his mind, he'd wanted the little thing dead, and it was.... not like it'd felt that last toss anyhow with the snap he'd not only heard but felt as well.

He took a few more steps back when he saw that something... someone? new had appeared in the gore left behind by the child. The hell? Where did that come from? He blinked a few times in rapid succession before a scream had him snapping his head back up... what? WHAT?! how had he missed that before? It hadn't been there... had it? And it was heading straight toward him at a speed he knew he wouldn't be able to escape from. His eyes widened as he made the feeble attempt to back away from the beast, muttering a slew of expletives as he did.

White hot, searing pain shot through him as the creature knocked him backward, flat on his back before it grabbed him and pulled him back up just to bite his face. His cries of pain were muffled by the creatures maw as he flailed at the thing uselessly, burning himself more with every failed attempt to shove it aside. At some point he wound up on the ground again as the thing slowly absorbed into him. This was the worst pain he'd ever had the misfortune to encounter and he writhed on the ground in complete and utter agony.

Tears soaked into the fur of his cheeks as he let loose a fairly high pitched scream of pain, the first of several, unable to produce anything close to an actual word.... just mindless sounds of agony as he continued to twist on the ground for the full three minutes and beyond.

[carcinoGeneticist]

It felt as though her heard had crashed through her body when she looked up and saw the look in the Queen's eyes. He really was going to kill them. All of them, her sister and Viast and then her, when he was done with the others. She felt enraged and frightened and lost, and she tried to prepare herself for what was going to come next, but... it never came.

The man seemed to speak to someone who she could not see, and then started to help again. Had... had she actually managed to get through to him? A few rapid blinks cleared the tears from her eyes, and she willed herself to stop shaking. It was too painful to move...

She accepted the offered medicine gratefully, gulping it down in a single swallow. Her attention was then fixed completely on Viast, who wasn't looking well... but was certainly better than she had been. Now that she wasn't being actively assaulted, it seemed much more likely that things would be okay, at least for the sweet woman who was so determined to save her. Mirai found herself starting to smile. "O... okay." What a funny feeling, especially when that awful taste was still in her mouth!

A numbness began to flow through her veins, and a strange disconnect from the rest of the world set in. The girl was oblivious to the demise of her sister, focused instead on the fact that they'd managed to collect the poor injured Rooster as well. Poor little thing... She reached out and stroked it lightly, then snuggled more closely against the body of the heifer. "Thank you for trying, Viast," she mumbled, words sounding odd. Heee. They were like flowers. "We can... we can come back for Nevi, later. After we've gotten you a doctor."

[Nathalia]

((Cale gaped as something massive and skeletal suddenly blazed out of a pile of gore and attacked Morpheus.
"W-what?!" He asked the world. His eye wide in surprise and shock, his sword lowered a fraction as he just stared at Menefer.
Had the Cat done that?!?

"What now, indeed." The man muttered, some of the fight draining out of him as he shifted back to his Human form.
He stared at the thing squirming about in the pile of gore.
Obviously Josiggy marked...like its...what, Mother?
He didn't have time for this.
Time to continue fighting with what looked to be the last of the Josiggy resistance.
The shout from the man at the portal alerted him and he sighed heavily, staring the Cat down.
"You want her?... Fine, take her. Just go." He muttered, sheathing his sword clumsily with his good hand and racing over to help the Canine mix stabilize the portal, leaving the Cat alone with the mess of a girl.

Finally turned back to the world, he was able to watch the mess around him.
"Morpheus?" He tried timidly, as the man twitched and writhed horribly on the ground. Shit!
"Cale?"
The man turned back to the portal and felt the color drain out of his face.
Viast, her leg pouring blood, was standing by the portal with the Avington girl, trying to put the small load of children...Morpheus's children. He thought with a pang, looking back to the twitching, foaming man, she was trying to load them onto the man's frilly jacket.
"Cale? Please help." She whispered, one arm clutching what looked like a very tiny Chicken. Another child?
Damn it.
No more words, he rushed over, using his good hand to help her with the children as the portal made a whining noise behind them.

Viast smiled a little, gingerly running a hand over Mirai's back.
"We're gonna be ok, sweetie. Just another minute or two. We'll get that doctor and some ice cream." She sounded a little off...as did the girl, Cale gave them worried looks and fumbled with the little Highland child, who snapped at his dangling hand.
"Have to...get some extra ice cream, for your sister." She mumbled, petting Mirai's back again before sitting down next to the portal, the children all tied up safely in the jacket, Mirai and the Chicken in her lap.

Cale stared at the little group.
Then out at the gory remains of the little girls' sister.
"Viast, can you hear m-?" He began, before someone shrieked and rolled into the plaza.



"Cale!" SHe yelled, standing and whipping her sword out to point at him.
Cale's jaw dropped.
"You can't be serious..." He mumbled, trying to drag his word out again, as the woman laughed at him, eying his wounds and the collapsed guards.
"A little low on help? You'll remain that way! We've taken out your posts at the East end, and in the Sorgaire!"
Cale snarled as the woman laughed again, and vanished.
Simply vanished on the spot.
"You bitch!" He howled, shaking and readying his sword, back to Viast and the children, willing Morpheus to stand. "Show yourself!"))
