Kayako of Aridon, Damein of Suteron
My head was pounding, my vision was being all weird, and we had been discovered by a party of Elves and Humans.
Wonderful way to end a day, right? Wrong. The Elf came at me with his dagger, and I barely had time to dodge. I muttered a curse, before bringing my claws up and slashing the Elf across the back. The Elf cried out in pain, and I chuckled a bit. Even after just falling and feeling like letting unconscienceness take me, I could still kick Elf ass.
"You bitch!" The Elf snarled, and I chuckled a bit. The Elf's companions were getting up to help their buddy, and I knew that if this wasn't finished soon I'd be in trouble. Falling and hitting my head and getting into a fight right afterwards were not smart things to do. And yet here I was, doing them. The Elf lunged at my angrily, and I slashed at his wrist. He made a girly scream, and I noticed that I might've just hit a place that he could die from. Oh well, his fault for attacking me.
His Elf buddies double-teamed me, both of them holding the daggers that the first Elf had been carrying. Judging by the looks of their gear, they could only be about skill level ten or so. But then again, it was three level ten Elves plus two who knows what level Humans against one skill level nineteen Vail. This was going to suck. The Elves attempted to slash me on both sides, but I stepped backwards and they wound up hitting each other instead. "Silly Elves, don't you know not to that against a Vail?" I taunted, and tried to stab the nearest one, a female with blond hair, in the chest and succeeded. She gasped, spitting out blood, and I had to sidestep quickly so she didn't succeed in stabbing me back. She fell back, retreating over to where her Human compainions were, while her Elven compainions seethed.
I heard a sigh behind me, and turned my head to see Damein behind me. "You sure know how to get into trouble." He said, looking a bit amused and annoyed at the same time. I turned my attention back to the Elves and took a few steps back, not wanting to get stabbed or anything else unpleasant.
"Well, my Mum always did call me a catalyst." I replied, grinning. The Elves cursed, realizing I had back-up, and took a few steps back themselves while the Humans took a few steps forward. The two Elves I had attacked were leaning up against a tree, not too far from what I'm pretty sure was a Human Oracle.
"You'll have to tell me what that means later. As of now, we're going to have to get rid of these pesky Lighties." Damein replied, stepping forward.
"You aren't leaving Teos alive, Vail and Nordein!" A Human girl said, stepping up and crossing her arms over her chest. She was holding two swords in her hands, and was looking quite determined to not let us leave.
"You think we wanted to come here, you moronic little Human?" I shot back, glaring at her. She raised an eyebrow, but said nothing back in return. Instead, she charged at us, arms no longer crossed and swords ready to strike. I went to go attack her, but Damein blocked my path with that large axe of his. He swung it at the Human girl's midsection, and it plunged straight into her stomach. I mentally winced. Nordeins were pretty strong, and taking an axe to the stomach must've hurt like hell. Damein removed his axe, and the Human girl clenched her stomach and dropped to her knees. The Human Oracle looked horrified, while the two Elves that were still standing took a few steps back, their eyes wide with fear.
"You...you demons!" One of the Elves shouted, knife clenched like a lifeline and face looking like a mix of fear of anger. I raised an eyebrow, a bit amused. I know that I've been called lots of things on the battlefield between Fury and Light, but this was a new one.
"No more demon than you two." Damein replied, swinging his axe over his shoulder. "Now...Are you going to let us go, or are we going to have to injure a few more of you fatally?" I wiped a bit of the blood that had flown off of his axe off my face, grinning. Damein had never seemed so cool before. We had already taken care of three of their party. They'd be foolish to attack us again, even more-so since we were oviously of a higher level than them.
"Why are you two here, anyways? Are you spying on Erina?" The other Elf asked, and I glanced at Damein, unsure if we should tell the enemy of what had happened.
"The only information we have about here is that we never want to come here again." I replied dryly, crossing my arms. "Other than that, no, we aren't spying on you losers. We just want to get home." They looked surprised at me telling them this, but they quickly recovered.
"Oh yeah? Then how did you two get here, anyways?" The Elf shot back, and I sighed before jabbing my thumb at Damein.
"His fault. If he'd have just let me get stabbed we'd never of gone through that portal that Knight opened." I answered, and Damein glared at me. "What? It is." Damein rolled his eyes and shook his head in disbelief. The Elves stared at us like we were crazy, which in their opinion we probably were.
"Knight? Who the hell is that?" The Human Oracle asked us, walking towards us and grabbing his Human companion.
"Creature we were sent to kill." Damein replied simply, revealing no more than he should.
"So let me get this straight..." One of the Elves started, "You guys were sent to kill this Knight thing, he opened a portal and as you were about to get stabbed he shoved you out of the way and into the portal, dragging you two in Erina?" We nodded in unison. That was pretty much the all of it. "Bullshit." I face-palmed, unable to believe that these goody-goody Lighties weren't believing our true story.
"Why else do you think we were heading east?" Damein asked, sounding just as annoyed as I felt. That left the party opposite of us quiet. "All we want is to get back to Lailah. If we were really trying to spy on you guys they'd have sent stronger people, not the two of us."
"He does have a point, y'know." The Human girl from before said, the Human Oracle still in the process of healing her wounds. "And why would they send both a Nordein and a Vail? The two species hate each other."
"These two don't seem to hate each other." One of the Elves replied, and I snickered which brought their attention back to me.
"We're in enemy territory. If we didn't stop trying to kill each other then we might've come across a situation like this and died anyways. Duh." I explained, amused. "As soon as we get back to Lailah we aren't going to be so friendly." One of the Elves closed his eyes and sighed before opening them again.
"We're going to talk this over. You guys just go...Whatever." The Elf turned his back to us and walked back over to the tree, where the Oracle was shifting around nervously, and the other Elf followed him. I blinked in confusion.
"What the hell..." I started, and Damein just walked over to a tree and sat down, using the tree as a backrest. I sighed and walked over to the tree and plopped down a few feet away from Damein, crossing my legs and arms. "So...What're we going to do now?"
"Enn...Hopefully they'll let us go. If not, we'll kill them."
-sigh- I want a Dr. Pepper...
