[CENTER][h3]Oriel[/h3][/CENTER] Having been sent away with tremendous force by Ajax, Oriel had to recover before going on with the battle. [color=ed1c24]"Fuck..... FUUUUCK!"[/COLOR] Oriel cursed. She thought at least a pair of ribs had gotten broken in that last attack, or something. To be honest, she would find it really surprising if she hadn't got hurt of anything after that attack. She checked herself all over, passing her fingers through the affected area to see if she had gotten hurt badly. It hurt a bit where she had been kicked, but nothing major.... She hoped. She decided to get into a sitting position, and that's when a sharp pain went all through her body, making her bend over. She pulled her shirt up, despite the close fit, and checked on her side. A purple bruise was there, horribly standing out in her skin. She put some pressure on it with her fingers and another sharp pain went through her body. Yeah, it was a horrible injury, but she could afford to back down right now, unlike what could happen in a real battle. Fighting Ajax as she was right now would be a horrible insult for both him and her own abilities. She felt bad for leaving Aiden all alone, but she could not do anything and not get out with worse injuries. Besides, she was sure he could handle himself in a fight like that. Oriel decided to cheer on him from the sidelines. After swallowing up her pride and bitting her lip, she finally shouted out. [color=ed1c24]"Ugh, FUCK! I hate to admit it, but I'm out. Fighting right now would be nothing but a joke! So, give them hell Aiden! Kick both of their butts, of that meddling bitch and that conceited councilman!"[/color] In any case, they had every right to gloat. She watched the whole battle with an open mouth. Aiden was strong as hell, but it seemed as if his magic came at a cost, nto to say anything about the lacrima he ate. Dragonforce, Dragon Slayer arts and whatnot. It was a battle that seemed to be battle by titans, had it been not for Ajax seemingly doing things without the least of efforts. She also had to move away several times so as to not get hit by Ajax's random attacks, or well, they at least seemed random. The fact was that he was so powerful that the attacks seemed random. After Aiden's last attack, Oriel couldn't believe her eyes. Despite her injuries, she got up and started running towards him. He seemed to have fucked himself up, despite of whether or not he had gotten Ajax with that last attack. [color=ed1c24]"Aiden!"[/color] She shouted, sounding quite worried for the first time in a while. She arrived to where he was and kneeled down, looking at his injuries and his dragon like features. She started pulling him into a sitting position, bringing his head up so that it would rest over her shoulder. [color=ed1c24]"Fuck, fuck, fuck."[/color] She repeated over and over, worried of what had happened to him. She put her hand on his chest, trying to check for his heart beat. It was there and a huge, relieved sigh left Oriel's system. She may have been exaggerating, thinking he was dead, but after that.... Well, it seemed probable, at best, and she wouldn't want that. [color=ed1c24]"Don't just stand there! Do something! There must be guys that can treat him inside that huge ass base over there, right?!"[/color] She started shouting at Ajax and Kyou, while hugging Aiden tightly against her. She thought no one would help him, though, and decided to do soemthing about it herself. [color=ed1c24]"Or just show me the fucking way! There's no way I'm leaving Aiden here for a second more!"[/color] She stood up, with Aiden between her arms. He was surprisingly light, or maybe it was just because of her strength that he seemed light. She turned around and started running towards the base. Well, she could always for directions. There must be more people inside there, right?.... Right!?
