Location: nearby 9, Aevah, Nymph and Green eyes
Health: Very tired, Major wound near right cheek, multiple minor wounds from arrows in his back.
Summary: Fighting two more guards while dodging arrows. Confused about the archers and is attempting to get the Prince's attention.
Chomping away at the guards neck, Rin noticed yet another guard armed with pike in hand a little too late and watched out of the corner of his eye as the pikes sharpened beak came inches from his face before 9 managed to shred it into pieces. Saving him from a most definate fatal blow. Pulling his mind back into reality and out of his instinctual bloodlust, Rin spat out what remained of the guard and gave 9 a quick nod of thanks before attempting to help cover the exit. Screams of bloodlust and pride echoed off the cobbled stone walls of the nearby structures when he reached daylight and the Bull was already in the thick of the action drawing most of the combat with the oversized beetle not far behind. None of them were ready nor fit for a battle of this magnitude and it was clear on the prisoners faces that this may be their last wind before the sun sets them down to rest.
Rin was not as exhausted as most but was starting to run out of steam as well given the amount of guards that kept coming at him. With no staff to keep his distance and no trees to climb and escape he had no choice but to fight on all fours like a feral animal. Keeping his soft belly from being struck was his main concern as a guard bearing sword and buckler took turns with his partner slashing away at Rin's face. Using his nimbleness and what he had left to duck and weave past the swords edge proved to work as they traded slashes with claw and blade but not for long as the teamwork of these obviously better trained guards managed to pierce the cheek of the lizards open jowels, blade protruding out the side of his mouth only inches towards the center and it would of been fatal. Rin screeched in pain but pushed harder against the blade until his tongue hit the hilt. Chomping down as his teeth pierced through the mans leather gauntlet and locked his jaw shut. Using his body weight to his advantage he tucked his limbs and proceeded to barrel roll (aka death roll) similar to an alligator as it attempted to tear bone from muscle in a sickly twisting motion. The sounds of bone and sinew cracked and the yelp of pain from the guard rivaled his own. Once the hand came completely off, Rin swiped his tail out from underneath quickly getting him off balance.
As the other guard saw his partners hand come off he backed off for only a split second before jumping back in the fight twice as hard wanting revenge. With the one armed guard writhing in pain on the floor, the lizard concentrated on the other whose rapid savage swings proved hard to predict and harder to defend against forcing Rin to retreat somewhat towards a nearby boulder. Hoping to get the height advantage he scaled the boulder and swung his body round forcing his tail to smack the side of the guards helmet with the force of a blacksmiths hammer. The guard stumbled and Rin used this oppurtunity to get in close and slice the mans neck with the very same sword that lay clenched in his jaw as well as a human hand.
The sound of the mans blood soaked gargles next to Rins ear was only dulled by the whistles of dozens of arrows flying past the both of them. Pulling the dying man close and collapsing behind the boulder proved some cover aside from a stray arrow or two that managed to lodge themselves between a few scales in his upper back. Wincing in pain he tried to peek over to see where the arrows were coming from but noticed that the arrows were in fact hitting guards more than the prisoners. The pain in his face did not help his train of thought whatsoever and was confused at the sight of their own men killing eachother without a second thought. "What is going on?!" Rin screamed towards the prince. Blood poured out of his mouth as he screamed, a mixture of the guards and his own. Rin dared not to pull the blade because it seemed to be holding things together, if he yanked at it or pulled the wrong way he may end up bleeding out and no amount of time in Hist can stop one from bleeding out. For the time being he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. Something that proved to be quite hard for Rin.
