[IC] The Necromancer and Her Doomknight –[rivaan & Silver Fox]

[rivaan]

Naisha was playing the role of a wall, a wall strong and sturdy to block all incoming magic towards the city of the amazons. While Alex was causing havoc among the soldiers, the amazon warriors were helping as well, but Naisha had her hands mostly full with blocking any magic attacks she could reach. The magic of the enemy was getting stronger and stronger, it seemed they were pushing themselves to deal with as many amazons as they can in hope of taking the town. They really wanted this place it seemed and weren’t going to get it!

More and more attack spells were now targeted at her as she was the one using magic where the amazons were going to fall a lot easier if there wasn’t someone to provide magic support.” HAAAAAAAAAAAA!” She shouted as she bashed an imperial soldier, sending him into the air. The moment her shield was displaced from the impact, she received a strong fire blast to the chest, pushing her backwards a few feet, but she still stood. “TAKE THAT MONSTER DOWN!” Some mage shouted to his squad and they all began charging a combined spell. It looked strong, the heated compressed fire from all of them was reaching and causing her to warm up even inside this armor of enchanted ice.” NO YOU DON’T!” Naisha shouted, stabbing the shield into the ground.” Overdrive: Ice bound citadel” She shouted, as great pillars of ice burst through the grown upwards, forming well 3 great walls behind her protecting the town and a single one in front of her to protect herself.

The giant magic attack flew towards her, impacting in the wall protecting her. The ice began melting with hissing sound, and soon her wall exploded as what was rest of the fire attack collided in the wall behind her and extinguished.” YES! We took the monster down!” The mage shouted in victory.

The empire’s morale boost was short lived though as suddenly from the dust cloud where Nai was before, some sort of water whip flew out, wrapping around the mage that was shouting, draining him of all of his blood. Then the whip released the dried hust. Naisha waved her arm gently as the dust scattered leaving her visible once again. Her frost armor was gone. Now she was wearing a long elegant sea blue robe. In her hand she held what appeared to be the whip made of water.” Sage of the boundless seas~” She smiled, as she swung her arm. The whip moved with insane speed, destroying the ground on it’s path and slashed a person in two. It was made out of water, but at the same time the water was so condensed that it made it into quite the solid object.” She really is a monster! A shape-shifter!” Some of the soldiers shouted in fear, trying to run away from her, she left them to the amazons. Nai’s targets were the mages that were trying to mount an offense against her again. They tried their huge fire magic again, but this time Naisha slashed it in two before they can even fire it.” You’ve committed a grave sin and you shall pay with your blood for it.” Naisha told the men completely calmly and with a smile, contrasting to how she was acting… some of the mages who knew they cannot escape her whip, felt like they were starting into the smile of a demon.

[Silver Fox]

Alex continued slaughtering through soldiers along with the Amazons. The Empire's soldiers didn't seem to be much of a match against the Amazons when it came to fighting ability. With Naisha blocking the magical attacks, the Empire soldiers were already getting quickly annihilated. The mages attempted to quickly take Naisha down, but it seemed they weren't doing so well against her. Of course, despite Naisha showing the mages up, Alex did feel her temper flare as she heard their shouts and dared attempted to attack her. Which of course, was always a bad idea. Especially when they basically give away their position in the war zone. Giving a roaring battle cry, the Doom Knight charged, barreling over soldiers with ease as her dark armor smashed into them.

The mages saw her approach but before they could fire a spell, Alex sliced a mage in half with her undead sword, while the demonic beast blade decapitated another. The mages screamed in terror and tried to get away as Alex quickly jabbed her two blades through the chest. "Hope it was worth dying you mother fuckers!" she snarled, pulling her swords out before looking to see most of the soldiers trying to retreat now. "Hah! Cowards."

[rivaan]

It took a little while, but the enemy soldiers started to retreat. The mages were dealt with and everything seemed to be going alright, but Naisha wasn’t going to have any of that just yet.” SCAN!” She shouted, doing a wide area search of all the enemies.” LOCK!” She added, placing magic markers on all but one of them.” Boost, triple, focus…” She layered a few spells on herself, before swinging her whip.” Greater spears of water!” she said as her spear quickly divided into great number of bolts that flew after the soldiers. With this there wasn’t going to be many returning to their camp.

“This is going to give them a room for thought before they try something again.” She said and walked to Alex, hugging her. Naisha felt sadness and pain in her soul.” Let’s go check on the queen’s condition…” She said with concern in her voice. The amazons were going to deal with scouting the forest in case of stragglers or other hidden dangers.

“How is the queen’s condition?” Naisha asked when they finally returned at her side. She was concerned about that so called demon poison Zira used. If normal healing magic didn't work and with the witch away and unknown when to return, their options were limited.

[Silver Fox]

Alex returned the hug as Naisha embraced her, holding her close. "Yeah... Probably didn't expect to have a magic user like you here." she chuckled softly but frowned at the mention of the Queen and the sad expression her lover gave. Gently hugging Naisha closer and kissing her forehead comfortly, she headed back into the village. The villagers were around the Queen, whom was resting on a stretcher of furs. The Queen didn't look to well, she was sweating quite a bit and her breathing was ragged. Most of her physical wounds already seemed to be mended up thanks to the elves. Amalthea was knelt beside Karette, her hands glowing with a comforting green mystical glow that moved over the body. Healing the Queen the best she could as others watch with utter nervousness. Murmurs muttering among the crowd.

When Naisha asked, Alana stood from beside Amalthea and looked to them. "Amalthea managed to heal most of the physical wounds... but even the best healer of the village can't seem to dispel the poison... Queen Karette is strong... and that may be the only reason why she's still alive." the elf said softly as she glanced toward the Queen whom coughed and opened her lavender eyes slowly, teeth clenching a bit.

"...Y-Your Majesty... you should rest." Amalthea said softly.

"It's fine Amalthea. Don't worry." Queen Kareete responded before giving a wheezing sound as she took a breath. "Mhm. Krieli'nas is going to be quite cross when she finds out about this. I almost don't want to tell her who did this, but she'll find out anyway. She's quite cross when it comes to low tactics like that." she said with amusement. It wasn't exactly looked highly upon for a Dual for the Throne to involve using magic or artifacts. Because that meant they relied on another strength, not their own. But Karette supposed Zira didn't think she'd win otherwise. Karette coughed again then glancing to the Alex and Naisha and smiled.

"Thank you. You two fought well. I owe you another night of attention." Queen Karette chuckled weakly, despite her condition, managed to poke and tease a bit.

Alex blushed but quickly shook her head. "Anytime, those bastards had it coming... Can't you call the witch or something to get her to help?" she questioned with a frown.

Karette took a breath and shook her head slowly. "Indeed but Krieli'nas has her duty to the Great Tower of The Witches. She simply can't come running back when she has her duty to attend to. She has other people to protect, just as my duty is protect my people. Course... That won't stop her from throwing her own special kind of hissy fit when she finds out about this." she chuckled lovingly before having to catch her breath again.

"Well if there is anything we can do? A cure or something?" Alex asked, fists clenching a bit.

"There is a cure. Zira didn't seem to think I was experienced with magic, but I've had my share of knowledge of it. Had to in my travels in order to fight it. That artifact she had was crafted by a Dark Lord. Deceit I believe. The cure is probably in his temple up north to the unknown territory. His pet Chimera's blood. But I wouldn't ask anyone to go there. It's too dangerous. Deceit could be there... Hiding... Preying for a soul to go there." Karette said softly, her voice getter softer.

"Well I'm not afraid of going! How bout you Nai?" Alex boasted.

[rivaan]

“We just did what we felt we should…” Naisha replied as she kneeled next to Karette. It was sad to see the great proud amazon in such state because of poison. Naisha almost fell like forcibly dragging the witch back here to heal the queen, but she understood that if Krieli’nas knew about this, she will already return right away. Listening to Karette taught her another thing though, the witch herself was in a position of power among that Great tower of witches. She had to protect her kind too…

“That chimera can already be considered dead… if that demon lord tries to stop us, he won’t live long himself.” Naisha replied, a very serious look appearing on her face. Problem was she doubted the queen will survive the time needed to get to that place and back. Nai still in her Sage of the endless seas form, reached with her hands and placed them on Karette’s chest. Then she asked politely for Amalthea to let the queen go for a moment.” Sacrifice art, eternal blood flow.” She whispered as her hands glowed and a bubble of water formed around her and the queen. They needed to stop or slow the poison to get the needed time. Well Naisha had the skill for it. As she held her hands on the queen’s chest, under the effect of the spell, their bodies connected. Naisha used her magic to make her blood compatible with Karette’s and vice versa. She made the blood flow from her to the queen and back for a little while, distilling it from the poison inside her body and giving the queen fresh blood. After a little her power faded and the magic ended. Naisha lost all power in her body and fell backwards onto Alex. In difference to the queen, Nai’s body under her elemental water spirit form could take the poison more or less. Now inside her body the poison was barely present and was already under final destruction. She couldn’t remove all of Karette’s poison, but that should have bought them enough time to reach that temple and get back.

“Let’s get going. I will rest while we travel… I will recover soon enough.” Naisha said, but she was currently unable to really get up on her own. She was going to get better as soon as her the last traces of poison left her body and she recovered the strength she expended. Then she turned to Amalthea, the girl had potent healing magic it seemed.” We shall return with the cure... I deluded the poison quite a bit so her condition shouldn't worsen as fast as before.”

[Silver Fox]

Alex watched awe Naisha preformed her magic as Amalthea stopped and pulled away to let it happen. Karette's breathing eased a little and gave a soft sigh. Alex caught Naisha as she fell back, holding her up gently to give her support. "If you do encounter Deceit... I reccommend you avoid combat. He isn't someone to trifle with including the rest of the Dark Lord's. Thankfully, they are still trapped in the Beyond... So their full power won't be out, but their influence is. He'll mess with your mind, but he cannot be killed. Walk carefully... And thank you." she smiled, reaching her hand up and gripping their hands before letting it rest at her side.

Alex nodded before standing, helping Naisha up before seeing their horses guided to them by a dwarf. Helping Naisha onto the red hare, Alex mounted the red hare as well before heading out of the village. "Think we will really make it back in time?" Alex asked, allowing Naisha to press her back against Alex's front while Alex gripped the reigns of the demon horse.

[rivaan]

“Don’t worry, just get some rest. We will be back before you know it.” Naisha replied to the queen, before they left her side. The mage felt so very tired from what she just did to try to safe Karette’s life. It was a tiring magic art, one that drained incredible amount of magic to work and on top of it, it was only possible to use in the water spirit form she invoked. If she had managed to continue keeping that spell working for a few or more hours, the queen might have been completely saved, but Nai’s own life was going to end. It wasn’t called sacrifice art for nothing, for better or worse she couldn’t keep the spell up that long though. Her ability to maintain those forms was well limited.

“I certainly hope so…” Naisha replied as they were riding on the horse towards the place where that temple was supposed to be.” What I did… should buy us enough time, but her wounds were quite deep so the poison managed to make it’s way and spread through her body fast. I cleaned what I could with the time I had.” The mage said, relaxing as she was leaning her back into Alex.” It won’t be easy for Karette. She looked better when we left, but that’s merely an illusion created by my magic. Before she was going to die a rather painful and quick enough death, now she is going to die a very slow and painful one. I did some testing on the poison within my body with my magic. It’s a very nasty stuff, the witch is better suited to deal with it as it is demonic in nature and witches themselves possess demonic magic to different degrees.” Nai replied as she began feeling she was falling asleep.” Wake me when you get tired… by then I should have recovered enough and we will switch.” Naisha said with a smile. If they switched like that and did not stop, they were going to take a lot less time to arrive and return. The horse was good enough and with some help from magic once she recovered her strength, it was going to be possible! Naisha felt for a first time in forever that she had a place where she belonged. With Alex next to her, she was going to be able to live anywhere, but being with the amazons actually felt very good. She felt at home! Though the way she also started to feel about Karette also helped that. Naisha truly loved Alex, but at the same time she started to grow feelings for the queen as well. It wasn't the same pure love like with her childhood friend, but it felt strong anyway.

[Silver Fox]

Alex nodded as she listened to Naisha, gently wrapping a arm around her. "Alright sleep well Nai... Don't worry. She's a pretty tough woman." she said softly, letting the cat girl sleep soundly. It was quite amazing, them running off on a journey to save a Queen they had just... Done intimate things with last night. They had just met her yesterday, yet it felt like they could know just about what she was about by just standing by the Queen. Karette was strong and powerful, perhaps one of the best warriors in this world, considering it took sort of dirty means into taking her down. Despite odds, she kept her values and followed her duty and tradition, but yet was willing to change them if it favored helping others. She seemed firm and wise, yet held quite a bit of kindness. But wasn't hesitant in battle. If the Queen had willed it, she probably really could of made them do whatever she wished. Yet she had willingly given them such.. Gentle love and understanding of their lost spirits. It was no wonder village loved their Queen. She made it difficult not to. It was a shame, if she died.

---

It took awhile, but they soon came into a dark land. The ground of black stone as it led to a large ominous temple. It looked very likely that this was the place, as it just seeped of dark energy. Dismounting from the horse, Alex helped Naisha down and examined the structure. "Well.... Guess our first plundering will be some weird dark lord temple Eh?" she grinned a little.

[rivaan]

Hmmm this place gave of too much of evil presence. It's energy was too evil, no wonder it belonged to a dark lord. It made Nai feel shiver down her spine just by being near this place. She wanted to destroy it pretty much right away, but she wasn't sure that was a good idea. If she blew up this temple, who knew what sorts of counter effects it would have. She didn't want to summon something they couldn't handle just yet.” Boost - double, protect, shell.” Naisha quickly threw some strengthened shields around herself and Alex. As the witch had taught her already her usual protect spells she used from Spira wasn't very good here. There were too many strong magics here and beings capable of physical attacks that could shatter a normal protect spell like it was nothing. This boosted one, should hold better... hopefully.

“We should start from somewhere anyway.” Naisha agreed with Alex.” I hoped we get to visit the sunken tower before we start doing something of this caliber, but we have no choice.” The cat girl said and started walking towards the temple.” Let's keep our eyes wide open, we have no idea what's waiting for us in there. If luck is on our side, we shall encounter that chimera and be out of there before anything bad happens... sadly things rarely go as planned.” She said, snapping her fingers and creating a small glowing light orb above her hand. A cat's sight was decent in darkness, but she didn't want to take chances in this temple, besides Alex needed the light as well. Naisha hoped she will hear the thing with her incredible now hearing, but there was no sound of any creature from outside the temple. The whole area seemed dead quiet.

Nai's fluffy ears twitched as she heard something so small that she almost missed it. She couldn't exactly made out what it was, but she heard it for certain.” There is something inside. Heard some very small noise in this otherwise deadly silence.” She said as she made another magic light and handed it to Alex. The mage tried to do a quick voiceless scan magic, but something within the temple was blocking that ability. At least during the travel to get to here, she had recovered enough to use her elemental spirits forms.” Something is blocking my scan... I don't like this...” Nai said quietly as she slowed her pace so she can be closer to Alex.

[Silver Fox]

Alex watched as Naisha put up some shields for them before creating a glowing orb so the knight could see where they were going. Nodding a little, Alex moved quietly as she could through the dark quiet corridors. She gently put a hand on her partner's hip as Naisha moved closer to her. It was odd.. for things to be this quiet, barely any sound. There wasn't even the scurrying of rats. But there was something in here, Naisha had heard it. Maybe if they were lucky, it was just the Chimera. Yet, she couldn't shake the eerie feeling she was getting as they traversed the dark temple. Her blue eyes blinked as she felt something cloud her mind, like something diving right into it, filling it with fog while her body felt completely numb. She was about to voice it to Naisha, yet nothing came out and her body was walking normally. What was happening.

Out of her control, the Doom Knight leaned closer, breath hitting the back of the cat girl's neck then her furry ear. "Naisha..." she found herself whispering in such a sultry sounding voice. Oh. That was weird and embarrassing. Her hand on the mage's hip slid upward to brush up along Naisha's waist before reaching behind to slide her fingers along the spine. Down to the base of the fluffy tail. Gingerly petting it before gripping the base between her index finger and thumb. Sliding it along the feline appendage, while her other arm wrapped around Naisha.

[rivaan]

This temple was putting Naisha on edge... She could barely contain the shiver that was going down her spine from expanding to her whole body. The darkness was almost overpowering in this place, the light spell she casted was barely able to illuminate the area around them. Problem was that Nai's utility magic was mostly weak or underdeveloped as she never really bothered with it. She usually spend her time on combat magic and offensive combat magic at that. Her defensive magic was in the sorry state because of that slight fact. She regretted not studying more utility spells now, but at the moment nothing could be done about it.

Nai almost jumped when she heard Alex's sultry voice in her ear.”Eeeh!?” She made a surprised sound as she felt the fingers running down her spine and then Alex's gripping her tail with two fingers. Nai's body tensed from the sensation of it.” Alex... now it's not time time for... eeeeeeekkk!” She tried to talk to the knight, but she felt Alex move her fingers across her tail and she quickly lost the ability to talk.” Alex, what's wrong with you!?” Nai finally managed to exclaim as she felt the knight's arm wrap around her body.” Stop... it...” She brought herself to say.

[Silver Fox]

Listening to the choked out complaints in the midst of the cat girl's squeals. In her mind, Alex was just as confused and quite embarrassed at her own body's reactions. Lips moving against the back of the left cat ear, brushing them against the soft fur. "But Nai... Don't you want me to touch you? Don't you love me little kitten?" she hummed against Naisha's ear, the grip on the fluffy tail tightening and stroking it. Her arm around the mage's waist moved up along the torso, fingers crossing the chest then the throat, before wrapping themselves around Naisha's chin. Forcibly turning Naisha's head so she could press their lips together.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait a minute! Alex felt her head buzzing at what she was doing. Mentally growling at whatever was trying to use her to confuse her lover, she focused... or tried to with doing this with Naisha. Such a thing was... quite distracting. Managing to gain a little control, she broke the kiss, pulling away to smack herself in the head repeatedly. The haze left and she felt a soft screech reach her ear. With a growl, Alex reached her hand and her fist wrapped around a black and purple thing. Glaring at the thing trapped in her grasp, she saw... some sort of mini person creature thing with butterfly wings. It was like some black sprite or whatever.

"What the hell you little shit?!" Alex hissed, now that she was in control of her body, her face flushed deeply. Both from embarrassment and anger.

The creature gave a snide smirk and shrugged innocently, batting its beady little eyes.

[rivaan]

“That's … not... it.... ahhhhh...” Naisha was saying between her heavy breaths. She tried to resist, but she couldn't disobey Alex's touch it seemed. The cat girl knew in her mind that something was wrong with Alex, but had no way to stop herself or the knight at this moment. She was just continued to be lead down the spiral of sensations by Alex until they kissed. Alex seemed to finally regain some control of herself as she began hitting herself in attempt to snap herself out of whatever was going on with her. Nai was confused and still beating heavily as the stimulation Alex caused her wasn't going to disappear in just a few seconds. Her face was still red and she could still feel Alex's touch on her tail even though the knight wasn't playing with it anymore.

Finally it appeared Alex snapped herself from whatever was controlling her? She was holding something in her arm so Nai naturally also felt curious and peeked to see what caused that.” A dark fairy!?” Nai asked, looking at the small dark humanoid creature with butterfly wings. Fairies were tricksters, but she had never seen dark ones before.” Well it seems I owe you little bugger an payback.” Nai narrowed her eyes pulling a small glass jar from her magic bag. It was just enough for the small creature to fit.” Let's see how you like for others to play with you. Alex, I enchanted this jar, it won't be able to escape from it...” Nai gave the knight the glass jar for her to put the dark sprite thing inside.” I've always wandered if creatures like you have motion sickness... I will soon find out!” Nai hissed at the thing, her eyes shifting into more feline form.” Or on second thought... I might just eat you little thing for breakfast!”

Suddenly she remembered there was supposed to be a chimera in here with them so she quickly returned her attention to their surroundings."Agh... we first should deal with the chimera and leave this place before we deal with this little thing's punishment."

[Silver Fox]

Alex blinked as Naisha took the apparent dark fairy and trapped it in a jar. Threatening it, causing the dark fairy to bristle in alarm. The red head gave a sigh of relief before gently patting her friend's back. "Sorry about that. Doing things in the middle of a deep dark creepy temple. Not so romantic." she joked quietly before glancing up as she heard a loud roar just down the corridor. Quickly, Alex stood in between Naisha and where the sound came from, two swords in hands and raised. Ready to strike. The temple seemed to shake like there was some sort of earthquake, and just then and massive creature came charging from the dark halls before them. It was similar to the Fiends called Chimera back in Spira, though was a little different. A lion body and lion head with curved bull horns, a goat head growing from the back. The hind legs were that of a goats, and the tail a snake instead of a actual tail. The body black as night and eyes glowing red.

Growling as the Chimera roared, Alex charged foreword, swords stabbing into the sides. Hands then gripping onto the lion head's bull horns and using her strength to push against the beast, before turning left and flipping it, smashing its side to the ground. It roared angrily and the goat and snake head immediately tried to trike at her while the lion's claws clawed the stone and reached for her.

[rivaan]

“Actually...” Nai began saying something, but decided to keep her mouth shut for now. It felt a little bit exciting to have Alex go on the offensive like that. The place just made it kinkier... It felt embarrassing even thinking about it. How did this little thing that was now safely locked in the jar cause her to feel this embarrassment was making Nai feel very annoyed at it.

Then suddenly the roar appeared and the whole place started trembling as the creature closed on them. It really looked like a chimera and a pretty big and dangerous looking one at that! Nai blinked as Alex wasted no time in getting to work and attack the creature.

“No you don't!” Nai exclaimed, waving her hand. “ SLOW!” She threw the debuff on the chimera. Then she quickly dashed towards the creature at close range, unleashing her magic.” 5 Lances of Frost!” She quickly casted, unleashing the 5 lances at the undefended side of the creature.

She then quickly formed another magic and quickly threw it into action.” Circle of light!” She shouted, unleashing a big ring of light around them and the beast so they can see normally now and it cannot escape. Besides Nai also worried there were other creatures here, this ring was going to buy them some time if they decided to attack.

[Silver Fox]

The Chimera's movements slowed due to the debuff, and it snarled in irritation, casting the mage a hateful glance with its three pair of eyes. Letting out a roaring painful screetch as the lances pierced its tough hide, causing the area to tremble at the sheer force of the sound before the lion's mouth glowed red with flame. The goat of black darkness, and the snake of lightning. The goat and snake head's turned their attention on Naisha. Unwilling to go down. While the Lion head paid more attention to Alex as it released its flames against the knight. Alex tsked as she felt the heat on her armor, the temperature rising, but her armor protected her from the fire attack. With a growl, she kept hold on the bull horns as the lion tried to shake and ram the edge of the horns against the knight in order to skewer her. Fangs snapping at her in a attempt to bite Alex. The red head however grunted as she pushed with her left hand before pulling back her right, slamming her sword into the lion head's eye, slashing and stabbing at them. Making it angrier as it tried slashing at her.

The snake tail hissed at Naisha, mouth sparking with electricity before shooting another bolt of lightning at her. Quickly moving its head two and fro before snapping out at her in a attempt to close its fangs around the mage's body.

[rivaan]

Good Alex was holding onto the beast like a true amazon! Or at least that's how Nai believed a true amazon would do... It showed exactly how strong Alex actually was. Seems like her strength didn't change too much from being a doom knight... or to be precise exactly what sort of living body did the witch give the redhead? Was it simply the living body she had before or did she pull some race change as she did with Nai? Hmm this was a question worth exploring later, now Naisha had her hands full with both of the heads of this beast.

The snake was shooting lightning bolt at her, Naisha didn't have her staff right now, so she blocked with pure magic.” Barrier!” She shouted as the lightning bolt collided into the magic shield she erected. It cracked it to breaking point and it did break just as the bolt ended. The very next moment Nai saw the snake head trying to bite her.

“No you don't!” Nai shouted, jumping out of the snake's bite in the last moment. Putting her magic energy into her fist, she struck the snake head straight at the side, sending it backwards. Then she directly punched the goat head as it was trying to shoot some form of black magic breath at her.” Boost-double- Great Axe of Frost!” Nai shouted as two quite big magical axes made of some form of pure crystal ice formed and slashed into the goat head.

Suddenly Nai felt a pain in her back. She turned just in time to see that the snake had sunk it's teeth into her back. With one last motion she quickly sent the two frost axes at the snake head, before falling to her knees as the poison began spreading through her body. She began fighting the poison right away, but it was hard...

[Silver Fox]

The snake head squealed in agony as the magic user struck it in its large head with two frost axes. Releasing its strong hold on her back and reared back, hissing painfully as blackish red blood oozed from its skull. It gave a angry hiss as it glared at Naisha, spitting and hissing before its jaws sparked with electric energy, prepared to shoot another magical round of lightning. Alex grunted as the beast's lions head tried to continue to ram her off her horns and skewer her, but the red head would not budge. The goat head reared and headbutted toward her but she quickly pushed the lion head with her left hand while swinging her right to her fist against the goat's cheek. Quickly taking the opportunity to stab her sword against it, slicing one goat ear right off and leaving a long gash along the muzzle.

However, upon noticing Naisha get struck by the snake head, rage boiled within the Amazon like woman and she let out a angry roar. "You piece of shit! I'm going to murder you!" she snarled as she grunted as she gripped tighter on the bull horns, using all her strength to swing the giant beast up over her head. Slamming it down on it's back on the otherside of her before releasing her grip and slicing her demon sword along the underbelly of the beast, while using her undead sword to slice against the middle of the snake tail. Decapitating it and causing it to let out a shrill yell, falling off from the rest of the body and wriggled about helplessly on the ground, blood spouting and spraying the walls and ground.

Alex growled as she lept back before turning to Naisha and wrapping her strong arms around her friend and lover, rage filled yes turning to those of concern. "Nai?! Are you okay?" she said worriedly, ignoring the cries of the chimera as it squealed and roared in agony, noisily trying to struggle to its feet.

[rivaan]

“It hurts…” Nai moaned in pain as Alex embraced her. The mighty beast was dead and it sure gave them more trouble than the chimeras back in their world. This one fought with quite a bit more eagerness than those. There was also the fact that since they were inside the temple she dared not cast her artillery spells.

“Get the blood while it's still fresh!” She managed to exclaim as she pulled a potion bottle form her bag. After handing the bottle to Alex, Nai coughed up some black blood. This poison was incredibly potent! Her body was well beyond simple beastman one and she still had troubles fighting it off. Nai knew not healing spells for she was a vampire before – an undead. Healing was lethal for her, but now with both her and Alex alive, she was going to have to learn some. That said, Nai felt a certain urge within her.

“Alex…I’m thristy…let's get away from this temple first though...” She whispered, looking at her lover. Her fangs already showing as proper vampire ones. Her body wasted a lot of energy in fighting that insane poison and for a vampire and in her case half vampire, blood was the quickest way to replenish it. That said she wanted to get away from this temple.

[Silver Fox]

The tall woman frowned more as her lover moaned out in pain and hesitated as she was told to get the blood. Feeling unwilling to leave Naisha's side, yet obediently took the bottle and released Naisha to go over the dead beast. Quickly gathering the flowing oozing blood and collecting it within the bottle. Putting it in her bag before returning to the newly turned beastfolk. Nodding a little at the whisper, she scooped up Naisha into her arms, holding her like a knight to their princess.

"Alright, just hang in there Nai." Alex said softly before standing and quickly heading through the temple. "Don't worry, I got you." she said reassuringly, holding her beloved closer as she picked up the pace, soon getting out of the temple. Feeling a chill run over her back as the temple seemed to breathe, to just gasp and growl. The ominous atmosphere seeming to deepen and the air thicken into almost unbreathable air.

Finally, when out of the temple, Alex continued walking until reaching the horses and mounted her large red hare. Taking the demon horse's reigns and quickly moved further away from the dark temple, holding Naisha close to her body and giving a soft sigh of relief.
