The moment the flames sprung up around the woman's body, Vlad took a more defensive stand with his hands up and legs spread. [color=a0410d][i]"So she's not an average shapeshifter... Or perhaps she isn't one at all but something different"[/i][/color] Vlad thought while carefully observing the approaching woman. And the big guy over there, he had this weird aura about him, as if he was holding back something terrible. But to his surprise the man left after a sarcastic remark. 


Vlad's attention was back on the woman, which was a few inches away from his now. He could feel the pressure she was giving off, and the flames around her body weren't ordinary flames. They were magic infused, which are difficult to control or counter, but Vlad already encountered that kind of flames in the past so he had some experience with them although it resulted in his hands being grossly scarred. Vlad took a deep breath and stared directly into the woman's eyes, giving her the signal of him not being intimidated by her display. [color=a0410d][b]"You know I can remove those flames around you right?"[/b][/color] he said without breaking eyecontact while pointing his scar covered finger at her flames. [b][color=a0410d]"...Or perhaps, use them against you"[/color][/b] he finished with a grin. Hoping that his intimidation worked, since it wouldn't be as simple as he made it sound like, Vlad was ready to strike when suddenly another voice from behind caught his attention. 


It was a red haired girl, with a short stature and wearing a bikini, she had a pretty face but this wasn't the moment to think about stuff like that. [color=a0410d][i]"Another one?" [/i][/color] Vlad thought completely surprised by yet another person in this damn forest. And the moment she started to yell about the tree as well, the witch couldn't contain the annoyance anymore. [b][color=a0410d]"ARE they seriously ready to fight me just for a damn tree???"[/color][/b] and before she could finish what she was saying, Vlad sent out a massive wave of fire at her with a full swing of his arm. It wasn't aimed at her thought but just a few inches above her as to distract her. Vlad then quickly turned at the feline fire girl and quickly formed a fireball which he then shot at the ground just in front of her, sending dust and debris around her and himself. During this moment of distraction, Vlad ran away as fast as he could, into the trees with his familiar safely clutched between his arms. This encounter was to much for him and he couldn't be arsed to deal with it for a fucking tree.
