The color of Penelo's battered face faded so effortlessly, blood drained out of her deeply, damaged wounds.
Before I could pull out my phoenix down to save her the Judge's voice stormed through the Targ woods, "Violation!", a violation is caused after a clan member break's any law given by the judge before the battle begins. In return for upholding the law an adjudged clan is given some sort of defence. However, violating our law removes that defence, and now, we no longer have our 'speed'. The great thing about having a Judge is that we can't die, we'll be revived after battle.
"Frimelda!", A wailing voice cries my name, "I forgot to end my reaction abilities!", Luso yanks at his bronze locks of hair with agony recalling that our law was to dismiss our reaction abilities.
"We're out numbered four to three!", I chuckled for this is when I act best! "Let the Battle officially begin!"
Us three remaining member's regroup, our white mage, Oricad restores our health to the fullest with her specialty Curaga. I jump full speed ahead while slashing both of my deadly blade's prepared to deliver a beat down. The baknamy fall's to his death with a fatal KO leaving behind a chunk of peppergrass!
Our white mage takes a pound from behind from a massive Loup Garrou, knocking her into a critical position. Out of anger Luso sliced a sinister howl of pain out of the evil wolf. A second KO was declared.
Our Mark take's in our damaging way's and decides to flee just as she's done before. Away she goes with her remaining minion, they fly to a great distance until they cannot be seen. Our mark is our mission, without her here to kill we've wasted a valued amount of time and gil.
"Klesta vanishes once more", Luso set's his blade into his pouch.
"Figure's, I remember her being this cowardly with House Bowen last time.", Oricad pat's her lengthy furry bunny like ear's and wipe's her snout.
"For an over sized chicken I think she looks pretty delicious, to bad we cant eat her", I laughed and fixed my almond brown hair behind my ear's, I set my mint green eye's on my fallen clan mate's in shock, "Penelo usually carries her own weight, she's a great dancer, each step deals a vicious attack, it's not like her to fall. I must confess I'm more shocked at Cid and Adelle. In all my year's as the blade master I've never seen such great fighter's, how were they the first to fall? ."
Luso let out a giggle, "Adelle's naive, don't get me wrong, she is smart and sneaky, but she jump's in before taking in her opponent's.", His statement made us laugh, "As for Penelo? You're right that is a shock and Cid is too wise to fall, what happened out there?" , we shook our head's in response.
"Am I getting weaker or are you, Luso, getting better?", the wise voice of the great rev Cid raises above the field. His tall brown build vanishes all inflicted wound's, his blonde hair is messy and his extended nose is pointed up.
"Or perhaps you didn't prepare us for this.", a snarling voice comes out of Adelle's battered frame, her beating as got to have been the worse ever in the history of Clan Gully.
We all stare blankly at Adelle struggling to make sense of her statement.
Penelo pulls herself off of the ground while braiding her blonde hair, her small figure seems to have healed, "Did we get her?".
A booming laugh exits through Cid , "Not this time, but we have much larger problem's to over come,", he becomes more serious, " Frimelda, can you come with me a moment,"
Adelle, Luso and Oricad leave to the nearest pub.
"What is it? Have I done all wrong?", I get on edge.
"Not at all, I have a quest, made for you and you only, are you able to fight?", I nodded, "Good, do you remember a man by the name of Luc Sardac?"
"I do, he travelled with me a long time ago, he's the one who left me for dead.", An intimidating posture over comes my body, I become broader and readied for a fight.
Cid reads me clearly and pulls a smile on his face, "He heard that Luso has brought you back to life he is in denial and wants to duel Luso, however I think you'd make a far better match. I can see his face now when he see's you're alive Frimelda."
I pull a smile far beyond my face, "a fight he will get!"
