Journey to Shady Grove IC part 2

[Zender_Solarheart]

Arriving on the scene, Kouga is shocked and dumbfounded at what he sees. A large feral beast is growling with hostility at Jessica and Nami, while Garian approaches it slowly, and Salina is standing in a rather...

(Gah! Don't lose your focus, Kouga!) Setting his previous thoughts aside, he darts to a position off to the side of his allies, and calls out to the beast in his native tongue: "Okora seru, kisama!" (translated: "Piss off, shit-head!") Between the lot of them, Kouga and Garian are the two people here that would seem most threatening, and Kouga's the one with any feral body parts. Either he subdues the creature himself, or occupies it long enough for Garian to do whatever he needs to. Taking a ready stance, but with Raikojin still sheathed, he slowly paces around it, circling in tandem with Jessica, but doing his best to keep the beast's eyes on him.

Salina scowls at Garian and hisses, "Of course I know how to use it." Then in a more softer tone she explains, "We were taught to be self sufficient at the monastary to avoid the war and the outside war... I was never much of a vegetarian."

She would hover the blade before her, admiring its sleek design, the faint stains of blood still fresh along its metallic frame with the pale shimmer of the runic inscriptions glowing subtly. Her gaze misplaced, falling too the slumbering princess that seemed too awake so suddenly, apparently sleeping beauty had finally awoken, jesting too her with soft words, easing her worries.

" The little priestess ran off after witnessing our favored trader kill another, don't worry, not one of our own. They should be back shortly, and yet they're wandering the woods in search of her.. "

She smiled, Seeming pleased about something in particular, perhaps due too the new blade in her possession, running her finger along its fine edge as she allowed her crimson blood too stain the hilt with her touch, claiming it as her own. Her eyes passing over too the young female that seemed so full of rage, the hatred radiating from her like the heat from the sun, making light play with her words too her.

" What are you looking at me for? This time was not my fault, You have your glorious leader too blame... "

Garian looks at Salina, "Attack from the Left." He told her and started running to the right, twirling the shortsword, ready to attack.

Jessica leapt at the beast her claws extended intend on killing the beast.

[Goryokaku]

Mizuki began to walk forwards she crushed the plant in her hand then opening her hand a little she grounded her free fist into her hand mushing up the flower she had not choice it seems the others were to preoccupied to notice her and she didn't have the paitence to try and calmly talk to the beast though she did start speaking to it in a raise voice and quiet fluently in Elvish. "a' putta i' ar' n'alaquel ndu ri' a' fea" she didn't know if it would understand she didn't expect it to she just wanted it's attention and the beast was going to have to notice her soon even if Elves were famous for moving through woods unseen and unheard.

[Taria]

Salina moves on all fours like an exotic creature, able to arrive much faster than Garian despite his headstart. Twirling in midair, she slashes at one of the beast's vital spots from its left flank, hoping to end its life quick and painlessly.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Seeing Garian make his move, Kouga synchronizes his own with it, jumping forward to slash at the beast's throat. Garian's strike is certainly intended to be lethal, so he might as well end this quickly, preventing the creature from having to feel too much pain. Once within range, he swiftly draws Raikojin from its sheath, the friction from its withdrawal increasing speed and impact power.

Garian aimed for the legs, hoping to take it down. He succeeded and the Beast went down hard.

Jessica was able to cut into it, hurting it badly

Salina missed the vital spot, angering it.

Kouga also missed.

[MelissaB]

Jessica bites into the beasts neck with her teeth slashing at it with her claws savagely growling loudly..

[Taria]

With the beast on the ground, Salina regains her balance. Whipping her hair out of her eyes, she stands above it, wraps both hand around the hilt of her dagger, and then jabs the blade downwards, aiming for the heart.

[That_One_Guy]

They both injure and kill the beast, who just lays there now, it's eyes glossing over. Garian watches the beast die and turns to walk away back to the wagon without a single word.

[Taria]

Salina glances back at Garian calling out to him, "Hey you... Pick it up." She tells him, tilting her head at the slain beast.

[MelissaB]

Jessica wipes her claws on the ground trying to clean the blood from her paws while spitting out blood from her mouth. "thanks for the help." Jessica's eyes travel over Saline looking over her figure before stepping closer to her giving her a quick hug before stepping back her head lowered.

[Goryokaku]

Mizuki sighs and looks at the crushed and wasted flower in her hands, she could have taken control of the beast but they all chose to kill not even really registering her presence which was fine she was used to this treatment to being shunned as it was. she watched Garian leave, she decided to take a seat on a nearby stump to think things over she had no container to put this raw ground flower into she didn't want to dispose of it due to how useful it would actually be.

[That_One_Guy]

Garian looked at the Beast and then at Salina, "No, he died in the forest, his body belongs here." He said and continued on his way.

[Reapergod36]

Nami sprints further into the forest. The animal could've been a good companion. But now, she even trust her old ones.

[Zender_Solarheart]

(OOC: RPers! Y U post too damn fast?! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) )

Kouga bows in front of the fallen beast, and whispers a prayer for it in his native language. He then turns around to see Mizuki with a handful of crushed herbs, from which he can faintly make out the smell of a certain mind-control agent. "I know that scent...you wished to tame it, I presume? Then I apologize for aiding in its death; I simply wished to minimize its pain, as the other three were clearly aiming to kill."

He didn't like having to do what he did, but at least it was just a wild beast, and not an intelligent form of life. He's no stranger to death, but the less he has to witness, the better.

[Taria]

Salina grimaces angrily as she clenches her teeth. Flipping the blade of the dagger into her hand, she tosses it precisesly, aiming to land its blade into the bark of a tree as Garian passes it. Hoping that grabbed his attention, she begins stepping towards him. "When you kill something, you don't just let it sit there and forget about it. When we take a life, we accept the burden from that life. We hunt animals to eat them and survive. The meal is our burden. You killed that women, because she believed Nami was her responsibility... No matter how misguided her belief was, you still took her life; what is your burden?"

[Goryokaku]

Mizuki shrugged she neither cared nor was worried about the beast's death it was the waste of the herb, she was more frustrated about. "Dead today or tomorrow or the day after it was born into life it was already walking down a path to it's death that particular aspect doesn't bother me to much, the girl running deeper into the forest possibly the lack of a container for this drug definately and the fact that you can smell it means it's already become air borne, seeing as it's in it's rawest form you are already becoming suspectable to it's effects."

She sighed and closed her fist, she needed a container this stuff was going to be dangerous being left to travel like this, she wondered if she should go get the run away girl and bring her back these woods were dangerous.
