I stopped dead in my tracks, sizing her up. For such a small frame and statue, she lugged that… club of hers like a twig. I opened my mouth and said, "It appears we are, Carmella. The name's Pirus, Pirus Ragnarok."
She smiled and said, "Come! Let us find what we are here for!" For having just smacked an Ursa's head off like a ball, she was rather peppy. Sadly, peppy generally means talkative.
"So, what do you fight with," she asked. "Well, they're dual chainsaws I can- But before I could finish she asked their names. I responded, " Specifically, one is Jotun and the other is Loki, but together, they make The Twilight Harbingers."
She marveled at them until I asked about her weapon. "Oh! This is Sweet tooth! My mama left it for me! She was a huntress, and is still on the mainland, somewhere. She used to send me letters, but it's been about five months since the last one. It must've gotten lost."
Oh, boy. I can deal with Grimm, funerals and all that, but tell her the truth? I didn't have the heart. She was just too innocent. After another minute or two, we reached what we assumed was the final clearing.
We could see marks of combat, with ice chunks everywhere, and a scorch mark to boot. Carmella made her way to a small shrine-thingy, and picked up a relic. I recognized as a black knight chess piece.
Carmella blatantly said, "A little horse, how cute!" Our victory was short-lived, as two students ran out of the forest.
One wore a buttoned up jacket, which was light lavender. The jacket complemented her eyes and hair, which were different shades of the same color, and went well with her porcelain skin. She also wore a small purple skirt and black boots that went up to her knees.
Her partner was a totally different story. He was wearing a black trench coat that surrounded him like a cloak. It went down to his knees and his collar was up to his ears. His skin was a milky chocolate, and his poufy black hair was tied in a ponytail. The only splash of color on him was his magenta shirt and violet eyes.
Both were screaming to get out of the way, and a blast of wind pushed us back as a Nevermore rose from the treetops. However, before we could react, the girl threw a small dart at its neck. When the dart imbedded itself in the Nevermore's side, it released a cloud of lavender smoke surrounded it's head. The Nevermore cawed as it dove into the ground, throwing dirt everywhere.
When the dust cleared, cloak boy had the other black knight. He said, "Well, (sigh), guess we have to work together to get back?"
