He announced Karnage's worthiness of eat with those at the Hall of Howlers, and his reward money. Karnage, however, felt little joy about it; he lost his arms and now, he couldn't even fight, let alone blacksmith. Then, quietly, the Werewolf King told Karnage of their medics, red robed witches and colorful warlocks. They retrieved one of Karnage's arm, and using their magics they preserved it so it doesn't rot. His other arm, however... Was gone. Shattered into pieces by the human's cannon. Even if they found remains, all they may find is some orc flesh, maybe a finger or two. Only his shield remained, which the medics were kind enough to bring to him along with his hammer. Once the mages were done attending to Karnage's wounds, the werewolf king told Karnage to choose from his children. "Aright." Karnage looked at his children. Three males and a lone daughter. Honestly, he just wanted to get his arm back and see salvage that Steam-Armor. Still, he had to choose someone, else what the Kind might be offended. "I would like your youngest to accompany me. The Mighty Warrior Kira." Mostly flattery, but with some truth. Karnage didn't want to add any titles like "Princess" or something else feminine. Mostly because he saw Kira's fight before; she was strong enough to be seen as a warrior of equal, not some oppressed woman who needed to beat up other men just to prove her worth. Plus, he hoped that Kira wouldn't really talk to him and just get his arm attached.
Once the man got on Lu's rock, she sped off in the direction of the dragon. She was almost loosing him, as she could only see him as a spec in the horizon.
---Some time later---
Try as it might, however, the dragon could not elude Lu for long. Soon the two strangers arrived in a dark land, were the sun may rise but never shine; Alucarda. Lu saw the dragon land in a town, but by the time the two adventurers got there, the dragon was gone. Lu curse her luck silently, but not all was lost; as she descended closer to the ground, she saw the woman who had been kidnapped. Perhaps it was out of chivalry, or just boredom, that the Magic Knight flew low towards the woman, unknowingly talking to the princess and next queen of Alucarda. The woman was talking the north path, towards a bridge. "Wait." Lu stood on her rock and in front of the woman, her sword drawn and implanted into the rock's surface.
