Of all the forests in all the kingdoms in all the world, he had to be in the same one she was in. Victoria stood up, still within the edge of the tunnel's entrance as she noticed Daelon walking towards her somewhat. "You shouldn't attempt to attract attention." he criticised. There it was. That typical cold aloofness that she came to expect of him ever since they met back in Signal.

A minuscule smirk that could honestly be mistaken for a twitch flashed on Eden's face. That was never a good thing. Suddenly he gripped her wrist and yanked her out of the tunnel entrance without much effort... or permission. Victoria tightened her grip on Azured Victory before Daelon continued. "That means that we're partners." he reminded her. Ozpin's briefing flashed back into her mind. Oh no. Four years... Four years of Daelon. Is this really how she was going to spend the next four years of her training as a Huntress?

On the other hand, at least he could be somewhat useful. He had ranged capabilities, as well as his effective Semblance, maybe four years of hell won't be that bad.

"Hey, Orphan Boy!" she called out, regaining her confidence as she held her head up high. "If you don't wan-" she paused, her smile fades before she turned around to face the edge of the clearing behind them. The sounds of growling and snarling was getting quite clear, and Victoria tightened her grip on her weapon, taking a step back - narrowly missing the large tunnel she had dug. She repeated, more desperately this time. "If you don't want-" She was, once more, interrupted, by the appearance of ten crimson eyes glowing within the darkness of the surrounding forest.

Five Beowolves dashed from the vegetation, their maws wide-opened and drooling, hungry for their flesh. Victoria sprung into action, charging forward with Azured Victory, straight into the closest Beowolf. Before the tip of the rapier pierced the Grimm, Victoria pressed down on the yellow trigger, activating the engine for the second time today.

Lelia and Solomon continued North through the Emerald Forest, finding nothing but trees as far as the eye could see. They had maintained silence since they went Oscar Mike, but Lelia assumed their deliberate lack of verbal communication was mutual. It was only moments ago when Solomon revealed his Faunus heritage, albeit through Lelia's accidental discovery of the tall one's tail. Tugging at the appendage seemed to upset him, his reaction no different than any normal human's react if they were inappropriately touched.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a Faunus?" She asked while keeping pace through the forest. Lelia was surprised at how angry that sounded, remembering that they were now partners. She wanted to blame herself for not noticing. The Viola family had always championed Faunus rights, finding value in the lives of these misunderstood individuals whose only difference between humans was their animalistic appearances. Lelia was accustomed to seeing rabbit ears, canine noses, and even antlers. But tails? Maybe Faunus were good at hiding those? Maybe the yellow-colored eyes would be a dead giveaway, but given the methods of Dust usage these days, it was easily overlooked.

She waited for Solomon's reply, but suddenly raised a hand.

The universal sign for "Attention. Keep quiet."

Movement was easily detected within the Emerald Forest. It was difficult not to disturb the trees and fallen leaves. Even natural predators had to move bushes to make way. Inhuman growls echoed around them, along with serpentine hisses. The next sign of danger were the sets of red lights, the trademark glowing eyes of the Grimm.

A trio of Ursa, black accursed bears, came into view, standing on their hind legs.

Lelia glanced at her partner, who seemed to be wondering the same thing.

Where is the hissing coming from?

"Company?" Prue repeated, looking in the direction Eminence was. When she spotted the Grimm, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Oh, well that's just fantastic." she would say, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

As Eminence drew his weapon, Prue did the same, pushing the trigger on the handle of her handbag and waiting for Obsdian Fang to take its full form. She had started to formulate a plan in her head, but it seemed her partner was already a step ahead of her. Almost instantly, Eminence had come up with his own plan and relayed it to her, saying he would be able to get the two boarbatusks into the air for her to strike. Using her wings, she fluttered up off of the ground and waited for his first move. When the Grimm charged at him, she looked worried for a second, but as he made a slash with his large sword, her fears for him immediately faded.

She was surprised that he was able to get the two Grimm into the air with a single move, but Prue didn't waist any time flying over and attacking them both right as he'd suggested. The nearest one got an overhead slash as she flipped forward and sliced through the exposed belly of the beast. The creature was effectively cut into two and she used one part to kick off and propel herself onto the next one. Her sword erupted into black flames just before it dug into the belly of the second beast, and as it screeched in anger, she crashed down to the ground and ripped her sword free, leaving it to burn as she flew over to back up her partner.

She watched as he was able to block attacks from all five beowolves that he had approached a moment before, not quite sure how he did it, but impressed nonetheless. After that, he managed to cut down one of the Grimm and sliced it in two with ease. Being able to attack right after defending with a huge sword like that took skill, and a hell of a lot of strength by the looks of his weapon. While Prue had a large sword as well, hers was thin and sharp like a razor-blade and that made it easy for a frail girl like her to swing it with ease. Upon first glances of Eminence's weapon, the thing seemed heavy and durable, but he seemed to fight with ease as well. After a moment, he called out to her, likely hearing her approach from behind.

"Your turn!"

"Right!" she replied as she zipped past him, flying at full speed towards the four Grimm left before them. She twisted the handle of her sword, and the sides of it folded up into sharp angles and began to rotate around the center of the blade as Obsidian Fang changed into it's chainsaw form. She spun around and slashed at one of the Grimm that approached her, raising its claws to attack. Her weapon cut off its arms and she flipped again, using both of her feet to kick at it's chest and send it flying backwards into another. She did this again with another, cutting off its head and kicking it away before flying up to avoid being hit. Her weapon switched forms again as she twisted the handle and aimed the large barrel towards the three that were still alive. The one with no claws jumped into the air towards her and she winked at it as she fired a ball of black flames towards it. With nowhere to run while mid air, the beast exploded and burning bits of its body rained down on the two remaining ones below.

"Eminence! Finish those off and I'll cover you!" she called to her partner, who was likely already doing so.

[The_written_John]

Watching Prue take care of the enemies Eminence asked for her to handle was like watching wind firing through the air, almost untraceable from the way she flipped and stabbed, like some form of deadly butterfly with a vengeance, that just so happened to shoot fire! It must have been her semblance, as Eminence had seen her use those black flames before, no flames he's every seen from any normal individual, he found the semblance impressive!

It was then she shot ahead to take care of the beowolfs, relieved that she could offer him a chance to recover his stamina, using such a large sword plus his semblance so quickly took a toll on his energy, and she offered him the chance to get a breath, so that he could jump back into the fray. Watching her transform her weapon into so many different styles made him a little jealous, wondering if she made the weapon herself, and if so, how she managed to do it! Eminence sure enough made his own weapon, after his late mother, but it wasn't as versatile as hers were! With little issue Prue had already eliminated enough Beowolfs to make the final motions easier for him, having recovered enough stamina to finish the job, and on her command, Eminence rushed ahead, no need to say anything else.

With two beowolfs being pelted rather horrifically by the burning limbs of its comrade, Eminence made sure to use the distraction to quickly run around and flank one of the beowolfs from behind, with a loud grunt he performed a rising upward slash, from between the legs of the first beowolf, allowing the blade's high frequency vibrations to activate, allowing it to shred through the beowolf with ease, like a knife through butter, like a thousand slashes, all it took was to motion the blade upward to completely severe the beowolf in half, separating it right infront of the last Grimm, though not giving the Grimm a chance to fight back, using one half of the dead beowolf as cover, eminence kicked the half of the Grimm into the other to make it lightly stagger, which granted Eminence the time he needed to leap up off the ground, and drive his Zweihander straight through the Grimms face, the size of his sword allowing him to pin the Grimm down, and absolutely destroy its facial features in one motion, destroying the final grimm assaulting both him and Prue@Onewayout.

Eminence quickly yanked the heavy blade out from the face of the now destroyed Beowolf, before stabbing it lightly into the dirt beside it. Taking a black cloth from within his pocket using his right hand, Eminence ran it up and down along the large blade, to wipe the Grimm's blood off the surface.

"You were amazing, Prue!" Eminence complimented, giving the Faunus a smile. "I don't think I need to be reminded not to anger you! I'd rather not end up on a side of Beowolf steak...!" He finished in jest, before completing his blood wipe, returning the blade back into the metal sheath on his back.

"But I think we'll make a great team! Did you make that weapon yourself?"

Cyra was in the middle of trying to determine whether or not she could free herself by shooting the branch, and avoiding blasting her own foot off in the process, when she first heard the crackle of someone approaching. One of the drawbacks of Khthon and Lithos was that they limited the use of her hands. Each shield was attached to her forearm by a strap that ran just in front of her elbow, and a glove that, while still allowing her free movement of her fingers to control the mechanisms, kept the back of her hand firmly glued to the shield’s inner surface. And with the leading edges of the shield extending almost five centimeters beyond her outstretched fingertips, she could still technically grab and pick up things, but she relied on a scooping motion to bring objects into reach. Untangling a shoelace from around a branch, while hanging upside down from said branch, was right out.

So when a tiny cute-looking girl with pale white hair stepped out of the bushes and looked up at her with a slightly puzzled expression, all Cyra could do was blush and bite her lip behind her bandanna, hoping that she wasn’t about to make the situation even worse for herself.

She was about to speak and ask for some help when the girl promptly turned around and left. The reaction left her equal parts relieved and disappointed; relieved because it meant that the girl hadn’t even given her a chance to make even more of a fool of herself, disappointed because she could actually have used the help.

Cyra went back to trying to aim Lithos at the branch (heavy shield cannons were not the easiest thing to aim when all the blood in her body was going to her head), only to pause when more crackling branches announced more arrivals. She had a brief glimpse of the white-haired girl’s return (who then promptly puked into a bush), and then caught sight of a second person. Her eyes widened slightly as she took in the tall jackal ears that rose from his messy hair. One of the other Faunus? Just my luck!

The jackal’s eyes ran up and down her body, then he smirked as he planted the butt of his scythe weapon in the ground and leaned on it. “So, how’s it hanging?”

The crimson flush that had bloomed across Cyra’s cheeks darkened and spread until it covered her entire face, although that might have also just been all the blood that had gone to her head. She opened her mouth to answer, but only managed a startled yelp as a flash of blurry light shot towards her and severed her shoelaces, resuming her descent through the branches until she landed flat on her back.

When she had regained her bearings, and managed to sit up, she found the white-haired girl glaring up at the bemused Faunus, pressing a circular bladed weapon of some sort into his chest. “-your grubby puns off my partner. She may not be much but she’s mine, you dog.”

Cyra’s stomach lurched at the girl’s spiteful tone. Dog? Partner? Thiiis cannot be good. Shaking her head, she unsteadily rose to her feet and meekly spoke up. “Um, do I have any say in this?”

[tanderbolt]

Tommy caught his breath for a moment before answering. He looked at Thaddeus, who fit his idea of what a man of action should look like. The sword in particular gave him hope, a weapon like that was not one for someone afraid of getting his hands dirty. It was also very sophisticated and ornamented, unlike his own weapon. As he picked up his gun and reattached the bayonet, Tommy said “Name’s Tommy Brown. I don’t know your real well, but you look like you’d be a better partner than at least half of the sods they chucked into this forest.”

The one thing Tommy noticed in the surrounding area was the split tree behind Thaddeus. It would take a lot of force to do something like that. “Hey, was that split tree your doing? Or do some of these buggers go around doing that for fun?” Tommy didn’t know much about Grimm. They’d told him about them in school, but the details had long since faded away. The important part of the combat doctrine back home was to just shoot them all until they died, which could be a while for some of the largest beasts. He heard a few sounds far away, but couldn’t tell whether it was people or more Grimm.

Tommy waited to hear what Thaddeus had to say before asking his next question. “So, do you have any plan in mind? Should we just go wherever we hear something, or is there somewhere that we should actually find? You said you know some stuff, so if you’ve got any insight into this, I’d love to hear it.” Whatever Thaddeus' plan was, Tommy would follow it for now, because he didn't have any better ideas. At this point, Tommy only had a vague idea of what a Huntsman’s job really was. He just thought of it like someone who was especially good at fighting, all other skills came second.

Solomon and Lelia's trek northbound has been a quiet one after the latter's unwarranted tail grabbing of the former. Solomon still had a blush on his face from the misunderstanding, it was caused from a mix of the unconsented tugging of his tail and the embarrassment that he thought a human could ever respect his boundaries.

Lelia muttered why he didn't tell her of his heritage, he honestly thought she knew, he doesn't go out of way to hide his tail or anything that points to it, she must be less observant then he had first thought. "I-I wasn't trying to keep it a secret... I-I'm just used to people noticing me being a Faunas right away  so I don't advertise the fact... Solomon replied in a small voice, obviously still nervous at what has transpired just a few moments ago and fearing she sees him as a disgusting pieces of trash to be pushed aside like other human he met.  But he looked solemnly to the side as he continued talking and a louder and more stable voice. "And Humans think of us pointing out our heritage as a sign of pirde... and many Humans dont like us having pride in our own existences, they think of our pride as dangerous..."

Suddenly after Solomon finished talking Lelia raised her hand as a way to tell him to stop in place. Solomon raised an eyebrow but he remembered where they were, then he stood in an combat ready stance with his legs spread wide on the ground and his upper body lowered with the hairs on his head and tail puffed up in anticipation, he was ready to kill the Grimm with all he has.

The snapping of branches and the glowing eyes just beyond the shadows of the trees revealed the presence of the Grimm. And the soft hissing sounds hidden behind all the overt sounds the other Grimm was making but it was loud enough for a human to hear if they were focused, hopefully Lelia is more observant when it comes to Grimm then Faunas.

Soon Three Ursa revealed themselves to the duo, but the he hissing is still unaccounted for, if he remembered his classes well enough the hissing is coming from a King Taijitu. The two of them have gotten themselves into a big heap of trouble.

Soon enough the Ursas roared to the skies and started charging at the duo, Solomon looked at Lelia and nodded to her telling her he is ready and he hoped she was as well. Solomon gripped Ragnarok tighter.

Then suddenly Solomon ran towards the nearest Ursa and when he was within range he jumped on top the beast's boney skull and then jumped off it to get over the beast entirely wheel he spinned his body around with Ragnarok in hand then he brutally slammed it onto the side of an Ursa's Skull making a loud cracking sound as it connects and launching it a few feet away. Once Solomon landed on the ground softly and with one of the Ursa was recovering from his attack, another one of the Ursa swings it's massive arm at him, Solomon back flips away from the swing, barely dodging the Ursa's attack. When he was right side up Solomon swung Ragnarok right under the reeling Ursa's head which connected a solid hit lifting it off the ground, which Solomon then took advantage of by jumping up to the air and kicking the Ursa down onto the ground.

With Two Ursa's dowm temporarily, Solomon placed Ragnarok on the ground and stepped on a button which opened up to reveal a pair of Gauntlets and a mess of steel within the suitcase. Solomon put his hands inside the Gauntlets and pulled them to his chest which brought the rest of it to his chest and when he extended his hands to his sides the steel within the suitcase covered his upper body, abdomen and hips with dark grey and black armor, after which then started to click into place and sheets of steel started to slide between the openings to cover the reminding parts of his body, Solomon then flicked his hands which caused intimadating claws to come out of his Gauntlets and large spikes to stab out of his Spaulders. This all happen within a span of a few seconds. Now he is ready to fight.

Thaddeus grinned a little as he heard Tommy's response. A guy as honest as him was quite hard to come by in Thaddeus's experience, and someone like Tommy would be a valuable teammate to have. He was quite frank too, and that told Thaddeus another thing. People were usually honest because they have no reason to lie. Honest people hence usually came in 2 forms, either they were naive idiots or they didn't care about the consequences. The latter category happened much less often because you usually need the skills to back it up, and it was clear that Tommy was a part of that category.

"My name's Thaddeus, but you can just call me Tim if you want." Thaddeus said. "That'll probably make it easier for both of us, but you can do what you want."

Thaddeus turned to the slowly disappearing corpse of the beowulf before turning back to Tommy as he reattached his knife to his shotgun.

"I gotta say, you're one hell of a fighter." Thaddeus said. "It'll be good to have you around, Tommy."

Thaddeus then looked around the clearing, wondering if there were any more grimm around. He looked for the signs, but it seemed that the two beowulfs they'd fought had been it.

"Well then, since we've gotten introductions out of the way, let's get down to business." Thaddeus said to Tommy.

He began walking around the clearing, inspecting the trees. At Tommy's question about his landing point, he glanced back to it to gauge the height of the tree he'd used to stop his fall.

"Yeah, that was me." Thaddeus said before glancing back to the trees at hand. "I was just trying to land. Succeeded somewhat, but I got a face full of splinters."

He stood there, staring up at a tree in front of him. It was only slightly taller than the one he'd landed on, and he could see there were taller ones elsewhere. Tommy asked another question, which reminded Thaddeus that he needed to explain stuff. Stuff that needed to be known, so it was sort of surprising that Tommy had glossed over it, but he supposed that was just part of Tommy's personality.

"Well," Thaddeus said, looking up at another tree. "This exercise is supposed to help us find our teams."

Grabbing the lowest branch, he began climbing it while still talking to Tommy.

"The first guy you see is supposed to be your partner, so we got that covered." He said as he tested the branch's strength. "Next, we gotta head to some ruins that're in this forest somewhere. There should be something in there..."

Thaddeus hefted himself onto the tree branch with a little grunt of exertion before standing up and turning his head around to adress Tommy.

"I don't actually know where it is, so gimme a sec to climb this tree so I can find it."

He began deftly climbing up to the top of the tree which was a little taller than the rest. As he ascended the tree, he could see the light becoming clearer as daylight emerged from behind the greenery. As he emerged at the top of the tree, he was met by a sea of green as far as he could see. There were standout trees here and there, but the landscape was mostly even. In the direction he was facing, he could see the cliff they'd come from. Thaddeus turned around to get a different angle. He saw more forest, but it ended abruptly at one point where it gave way to a stone structure of some sort.

"Oh, there it is." Thaddeus said. "Hey Tommy!"

Thaddeus quickly descended the tree before dropping off the lowest branch and landing with a thump.

"Found where we're going!" Thaddeus said upon landing. "It's that way!"

He pointed in the direction he'd seen to show Tommy the way he'd seen the structure.

"Pretty sure it is, anyway." He said. "All I know is that something over there's gonna help us find the rest of our team, so let's go!."

Sienna stood calmly at the very end of the group of new students to Beacon, letting out a quiet sigh as she closed her eyes listening to Ozpin as he explained the objective of the initiation test. They were to be launched up into the forest, where they would eventually land and find a fellow student to work together with and make their way towards where the artifacts would be found and take it to the area where they would drop it off.

3..
2..
1..

Sienna opened her eyes looking over to her right as she watched each of the students suddenly being launched one, by one high up into the air she heard each student either yell in excitement or surprise. Then she quickly braced herself as the pressure plate suddenly flung herself straight up into the air. Sienna could feel the wind flowing through her hair, ears as well as her tail as she soared through the air once she was high enough Sienna took out her Riot Breakers and quickly pressed a button and quickly they turned into blades putting them both together which instantly formed into a hover board, or what she liked to call it the blade board. Sienna could see a clearing in the forest as she hoped onto the board Sienna glided through the air gracefully, as she got closer Sienna used her semblance the moment her board hit the ground which caused a large drag mark across the ground this lasted for a few more seconds before it finally came to a stop. Sienna closed her eyes as she kneeled down running her hand over the dirt, she could feel other students landing into the forest as well.

Sienna stood up turning the Riot Breakers into their gun mode still she was alert, her ears twitched and moved occasionally as she tried to listen into any kind of sounds or any kind of fighting near her hoping to find a partner or group to join up with to complete the objective.

[OneWayOut]

Prue lowered down to the ground as Eminence finished off the last of the Grimm, giving one look around the area to see if there was anything else moving around them. When her feet touched the ground, she walked over to her partner and raised her hand, offering a high-five as she smiled, flashing her small fangs.

"Wow, you were pretty awesome yourself. And don't worry, you're too good looking to burn to a crisp." she would say, giving him a wink and smirking. "But in all seriousness, I do think we can make an awesome team." she said, nodding her head. When he asked about her weapon, she looked at Obsidian Fang and smiled. "Ah, this thing? Yeah, I made him myself. I only got a slight bit of help from my parents, but the design idea was all mine." she told him, cranking the handle and watching as it folded up into a handbag.

"I knew I wanted something that would make me look tough, cause... I mean, look at me. I'm not exactly the scariest person around. I knew I wanted something big but... I'm also not very strong. So, my parents offered me a lightweight and sharp metal that was perfect! I really love it. Though yours looks like a pretty awesome weapon too."

As her eyes glanced at her hand that held her weapon, she frowned suddenly and drew her hand close to her face, inspecting it. "Aww, really?" she complained, turning her hand over and pouting at it. "Eminence, I broke a nail." she whined, holding her hand out to him so he could see her finger. The top of the nail on her index finger was completely gone and the exposed part of her finger was red and looked more painful than it was.

"Ugh, I swear. Grimm have no respect for an expensive manicure." she said, looking at her partner and expecting him to agree with her or something.

@The_written_John

[The_written_John]

@onewayout

Eminence winced a little in shock when she explained that she had "broke a nail" Only to reveal the rather cringe worthy sight of the bloody finger, not very use to human/faunus blood, he turned away and pushed his hands infront of himself to "shield" his eyes away from the vision of her finger.

"Ah! Hey! u- use your aura to heal it! That looks like it hurts! Urrgh, I don't know why, but... urrgh, looking at those types of "cuts" make me squirm...! I'm lucky i have no intention of being a medic when i'm older..."

Eminence's face went paler from just looking at it, though when Prue explained that they have no respect for a "expensive manicure", the Manchester simply nodded his head to get it out of the way, marching onward towards the north.

"Y- yeah sure, just... don't have me look at that, it's ... a bit creepy...!"

Eminence shuddered, clutching his hands around his chest, his tone having changed to a rather.. timid one, as his stance grew more... scared and upset, seemingly not taking the wound too well.

"I- i'm sorry... I didn't mean to be rude... i- it's just... I'm ... not use to... looking at... that kind of blood..." He expressed sadly. Eminence could only think of his mother when he saw blood, but before he could dwell on it too long, he shook his head, heading off to find the location of the relics.

"L- lets move."

The faunus chuckled seeing the girl in the tree blush wildly in embarrassment. While it wasn't the appropriate time or place for his teasing, seeing her already flustered made his inner devil win over. "Jeez Red, I know I'm very handsome and all, but don't you think you should tone down the blush? You'll attract the grimm if you get any brighter." Bastion grinned ever so handsomely with his fanged teeth almost gleaming in the sunlight. Just like he did with everyone, he gave the poor girl a nickname that he would call her forever more. His grin disappeared into a mildly surprised frown when a blade cut the girl free from the tree and soon a little girl with white hair appeared right in front of him, catching her weapon, and held it to his chest. As adorable as she looked, she was certainly a bit bitchy and rude.

A dog huh? There were even people that disliked those of faunus lineage here after all, but who cares? He really couldn't give less of a crap what they thought of him. "Woof, woof." Bastion smirked at Aeta, pushing her weapon away from his chest. This white haired girl certainly had one hell of an attitude, not to mention also very bossy. Not like it was going to do much to deter him from teasing her. These type of people often had the best kind of reactions when they were the slightest bit upset, leaving Bastion quite satisfied with his handiwork. "Sure, I'll keep your secret vomit girl though I think you're more like a little sister kind of cute rather than attractive cute. Don't despair for I'm sure that there are probably some lolicon students that will take a liking to you and your dominating attitude. Bastion said that in the most upbeat, playful tone knowing that she will probably be coming after his hide later.

"Normally I would say that red over there should get a say, but the prospect of getting paired up with vomit girl is less than appealing to me and she will probably hunt me down if I pair up with you...So...Good luck Red!" He kicked off into the air and begun to hop from tree branch to tree branch as fast as he could with his weapons in hand. Hopefully he'll find a partner soon so he can complete the objective, but it couldn't be any partner. It had to be someone that wouldn't be a drag to be around and knew how to have fun! Also if they were a girl and cute then that would be an added bonus.

Then lo and behold there was a faunus girl with large fox ears standing around all by her lonesome self! Bastion grinned widely and hopped down from the tree branch he was standing on, landing right in front of her. "Helloooooo, the name is Bastion Rayleigh. I noticed that you don't have a partner around so how about becoming mine? What do you say?" Well, at least he was honest, blunt, but honest.

[Volenvradica]

"And I bet that's not even your Final Form"
-Amirite or amirite? :\

Solomon neutralized the two Ursae with ease, donning a suit of armor with an appropriate wolf motif. His primary weapon, it seemed, reflected the user's earlier remarks, how Faunus were discouraged from showing pride in their heritage. Lelia also recalled how Solomon was dismayed at this, that most humans would find a threat in his ethnicity. Having been taught that Faunus were equals, Lelia was especially angered by this. Not by the discrimination Solomon endured--which is unforgivable--but his indifference to human oppression, his acceptance of ignorance. Lelia refused to play the fool.

That shining armor and its inhuman Lunar vibe.

The way its crimson glowed brightly, as if driven by purpose.

It reminded her of the Beowolves.

The hissing was louder this time, and following the serpentine crescendo, a trio of King Taijitus. Their forked tongues licked the air as if fear could be tasted. Maybe it was a hunger for a living being's aura? Lelia imagined she stuck out like a sweet violet popsicle. Either way, she had no intention of seeing the digestive system of these motherfreakin' snakes. Not even for science.

Only one thing felt practical at the time.

"Hey, King. Run."

@AquaAzura

#FaunusLivesMatter

[AquaAzura]

Never mind he's wasn't ready.

Solomon sweat nervously under his helm as three King Taijitus slithered out of the surronding forest forming a three quarter circle around them. They were getting ready to attack as their coiling bodies is any indication of their ill intent to kill them. With Two of the three Ursae down they could make a break for it. Which seemed to be the Lelia's plan as well as she yelled for him to run. He nodded at her in agreement. He estimates they can certainly deal with them but that be a waste of aura and energy and might get tired if they need to fight later.

Solomon hightailed it out of there as one of the King Taijitu tried to take a bite out of him, he dodged the attack at the last second causing the giant Grimm to snap the tree that was behind him in half, which fallen ontop of the Last Ursa but that didn't kill it.

Solomon quickly climbed up a tree where started running atop the tree branches using the shadows and leaves as camouflage to avoid the Snake Grimm's attacks. The one King Taijitu that attacked him seems to be persistent on killing him as it chased him as he jumped and climb atop treetops but lucky for him it was only getting leaves and branches for a meal instead of canned wolf meat.

Dodging and staying hidden has always been his field of expertise, as his Semblance made it easy to do so. He wondered how Lelia is holding up.

As Sienna walked through the forest, so far there was no Grimm around her which she was thankful for that as she continued to travel by herself Sienna's ears quickly perked up when she heard movement in the trees and quickly turned around to see no one was there. Then she turned around. "Helloooooo, the name is Bastion Rayleigh. I noticed that you don't have a partner around so how about becoming mine? What do you say?" Sienna yelped loudly as she stumbled backwards causing her to accidentally fire Riot Breaker past Bastion's head the shot harmlessly hitting the tree behind him.

"I almost shot you!" Sienna pouted slightly as she stood up and dusted herself off before setting her two guns into her holsters and reached forward and shook Bastion's hand and smiled slightly towards him and nodded. "Sorry for that, i'm Sienna Faun and since we don't have anyone else I guess we are stuck together." Sienna smiled.
