Espada Leviatan and Birds

This particular story begins with a 4'11" kitsune fighter from Kamigawa. Her name was Leviatan and she was with a party, one of note was Tavos from our first story. They were hired to investigate the mystery of the magical woods that happened to border a kingdom full of non-human hating citizens. The fact that they wouldn't allow her in town isn't necessary to the story but it may illustrate the female humanoid fox wasn't in the best of moods. So their guide to the woods would often let his disdain for the group show as he was surrounded his 'charges' which consisted of a elven rogue, a pixie alchemist who rode on top of her prinny servant ( a reward earned from actually completing the first adventure), a nekomata barbarian, human cleric, and human fighter along with Leviatan.

Now it is important to point out during her time away from her first party, as they became known as the "C-Nation," she left to do some bodyguard work. Her name was recognized and her twin adamantine katanas had garnered quite a bit of envy to those who saw them. So on one scheduled job she had been ambushed and consequently defeated. She had become a hollow and came back to get her vengeance. Leviatan dealt with the murderers and reclaimed her prized weapons.

Now we return to our current adventure to see a more impatient Kitsune, which had turned arrancar by this point and had changed her to Espada Leviatan, trying to keep her calm as the human guide continued to spout his human supremacist rants to the point Tavos buried his hidden daggers deep within the human's skull and thus meeting the requirements to become an assassin. Though that is another story for another time.

The party comes across a merchant wagon that had been attacked and looted. The human fighter was able to deduce that there had been use of crude axes during the attack as well as short swords or knives. However there were birds of prey preparing to swoop down on the corpse of the dead horse that carried the wagon as well as the fresh meat before them. Needing to let loose and purge herself of all her anger the newly renamed Espada Leviatan rose her arm and uttered a warning to the others to back away from the wagon and her. Once they were behind her she worn a feral grin as she was about to let out her frustration with never before seen, by anyone she had known, attack.

"Cero," the fox folk turned hollow said as a flash of light blue energy shot out from her hand and tore through the wagon, birds, and portions of scorched earth. When the light faded nothing remained of the horse, birds, cart, and a good portion of steaming earth.

After recovering from the spectacle the nekomata marched up to kitsune and shook her in fury. "We could have figured out who attacked the merchant and it could possibly have led to a clue on how to enter the forest! But you not only destroyed the cart and any possible tracks the culprits might have left."

The now arrancar kitsune simply stared up at the barbarian with no semblance of regret and forcibly removed the nekomata's hands from her shoulders. She turned and walked towards the direction to where she assumed the assailants fled to and said over her shoulder to where the party still stood. "I hate birds." Leaving the others dumbfounded and the prinny shivered in fear for it's future.
