Alyss: Alyss casually strolls through the building called Sword and Helm, admiring all the old works of art and artifacts from earlier times. Tucking a lose strand of dark hair back up into her ponytail, she stops to admire a particularly interesting piece of armour...

Endrek: "Well, well. If it isn’t princes Alyss herself?" *His voice is a mixture between a snigger and gentleness* *He steps out of the shadows and smirks at her*

Alyss: Startled she quickly turns around, unsheathing her katana as she does so. "Back off, Endrek. I am not alone. I am meeting someone here."

Endrek: "Oh, calm down, my love. Calm down" *He moves closer to her, no threatening movements except for moving towards her* "I am not going to hurt you"

Alyss: "That doesn't matter," she stammers, backing away from him. She holds her katana out, tip pointed at him. "Stay away. And do not call me your 'love'. It's something I'll ~never~ be!"

Arcade: **An arrow of energy falls to ground and explodes near him. The explosion wasn't big at all. More of a warning shot.** Back off she is with me! My brother and your value ally do not like your methods! **His voice is stern. **

Alyss: "Arcade!" Alyss smiles relieved that he was not late in showing up.

Arcade: Your right she is spoken for. **He wraps an arm around Alyss and gives her a kiss, but of course he was faking it hoping the creep would leave. ** You bark. I beckon. **He grinned**

Alyss: Alyss pretends to play along, only to psych Endrek out. Seeing the lightening charge in their direction, she jumps out of the way, just in time.

Endrek: "Hahaha. Fool" *He closes his eyes, his hands glowing. Chanting for a moment he puts his hands together. A moment later he parts his hands and a ball of lightning grows between them which he hurls towards Arcade* *Seeing this only angers him* "Take your hands off my bride to be* *He snarls and turns to face Arcade*

Arcade: **Ducks and shoots more arrows. ** Really you got to do better than that. Hmmm-funny Alyss you never told me your getting married. We have been friends all these years too! And more! **He winked to tick off the prince and drew his sword. **

Alyss: "I'm never going to marry you, Endrek. When are you going to get it through your fat, stubborn, head?"

Endrek: Endrek merely raises a hand, the arrows hitting an "invisible" shield* "Heh" *Holds his hands out to the sides, his eyes glowing brightly* "By the power of the dark gods, I summon the power" *He holds out his hands towards Arcade and from his fingertips, small "thorns" seem to grow forth* "Now DIE, boy" *The snarls and the thorns fly, more joining them until there is a constant stream ((Like an automatic machinegun, kind of))*

Arcade: **Rolls behind some art works and takes cover. He sighed in relief. ** IN COMMING! **He throws a flask and bright light flashes in the room. Then Arcade charges making this a sword fight! **

Endrek: *At the words, Endrek shields his eyes and ducks behind a pillar to avoid being blinded. Then draws his sword and steps back out into the open*

Alyss: While the fighting occurs, Alyss slips off behind a large marble statue for shelter.

Arcade: **He slams his sword against his. ** I will tell Kayin and he will hack you into two! Harming the royal family wasn't the part of the deal!

Endrek: "I wasn’t going to harm the girl. She is my beloved. My wife to be!" *He smirks* "And you will die for touching her" *Their swords together he lets go and strikes Arcade, backhanded style*

Arcade: **He jumps back hurling some daggers. ** She said no! Besides I am courting her and so there!

Endrek: *He sidesteps the daggers, yet one manages to tick his cheek. He doesn’t seem to care though* "All the more reason for me to kill you. She is mine" *Another barrage of thorns shoot from his fingertips at Arcade*

Arcade: **He quickly dodges but gets a shot in the shoulder. Arcade falls in pain and smirks. Then an energy arrow shot came from the floor to his foe. It seemed that Arcade had his bow out. **

Endrek: *Realizing too late it was coming he only managed to come up with a small shield. The arrow hitting it sending him flying backwards across the floor*

Arcade: **He sent some more arrows after him as well. He wasn't going to stop firing until this annoying Prince put up his shield again. **

Endrek: But the shield was already back up, the arrows hitting it harmlessly* "I tire of this" *He raises his hand and the ground starts to shake. From the ground, slowly rising, a stone golem crawls forth, rising to its feet*

Arcade: **Stands there and starts to charge energy into his bow until it throbbed in his hand. ** Now to let loose my special attack. **He let loose a massive energy attack at the beast and the prince. **

Endrek: *The shield protects Endrek from the effects of the energy, yet moves him back about five feet. The full force strikes the golem, stumbling backwards and losing its left arm. It looks down at where its left arm was, grasps helplessly at the empty air, looks up at Arcade and seems to snarl silently. Then charges*

Arcade: **Does the smart thing and runs hoping the golem would trip up! **

Endrek: *The golem stops, leans down and picks up a heavy chest from the floor, as if it was a ball of cotton. Straightens and throws the chest after Arcade* *Endrek takes the opportunity to move over to Alyss*

Arcade: **Dodges but barely. He knocks over furniture left and right, hoping it would fall and die. **

Endrek: *The golem, pretty large as it is, merely steps on the furniture. Its huge size helping it cover a lot of distance with each stride. A sofa is thrown after Arcade*

Arcade: **Is hit and falls to the ground hurt. He shoots his special attack hoping the golem's feet will be destroyed.**

Alyss: Seeing Arcade hit with this sofa, she yelps.. Afraid for her friend. She did not want him to die!

Endrek: *The golem steps back at the shot, gets hit but not as severely. The shot merely making a big hole in its chest. Yet this seems to piss the stone creature off and it charges the fallen Arcade*

Jacen: *quietly he steps up behind the princess, placing a hand to her shoulder as he speaks in a hushed voice* You should not be here Alyss.

Alyss: "Jacen!" she turns and smiles, throwing her arms around his neck to hug him. "I just wanted to see Arcade and see how he was. But Endrek followed me!"

Arcade: **Throws some potions that ate at the golem stone skin. **

Endrek: "Two" *He mutters and moves back, deciding to think of a plan of attack* *The golem nearly reaches him before turning into nothing more than ooze*

Jacen: *smiling a bit he pats her back* Well, it looks as though your friend is busy at the moment....

Alyss: "He is trying to protect me, Jacen. You can't let him die! Please, help him. He got hit by that big sofa."

Arcade:**Grins at his survival.** Man too close!

Endrek: "Ah.. Whelps" *He grins to himself then steps back into the open* "By the power of the dark gods" *The building begins to shake as he raises his arms above his head. His eyes glow brightly as three large balls of dark purple begin to form in the middle of the hall* "Reptile appearance, wings black as night, Dragons I call, to help in this fight" *There is a flashing light and where the balls of light once were, three dragon whelps now stand*

Jacen: *seeing the concern for her friend he can't help but nod in agreement* Okay...boy its a good thing Stirling isn't here...after all Arcade is the enemy.

Alyss: "It will be alright. Thank you, Jacen." She reaches up and kisses his cheek, only to then spot to dragon. Her dark eyes widen in horror. "Oh blast!"

Jacen: *seeing the whelps he shakes his head* Ahh crap...*pulling Wyrm Fang free from its sheath he steps out from behind the statue* Three on one? That’s not quite fair now is it..*He moves to stand next to Arcade but faces the dragon whelps* Well...looks like we may have to fight together this time.

Endrek: *The dragons look at each other, shriek, then one goes after the fallen Arcade, the other two after Jacen*

Arcade: **Was too weak from the blow from the sofa and passes out.**

Jacen: *seeing the two dragons come after him he growls a bit* Crud! Why me?! *settling into a fighting stance he prepares to meet the attack*

Endrek: "And to make this a fair fight" *He laughs and makes intricate movements of his hand in front of his face while chanting softly. Something, that seems like a red hole, appears on the floor. A blast of HOT air bursts forth. Moments later a dark hand settles on the cold stone floor. Rising from the hole is a large demon warrior* *Seeing Arcade pass out, the third dragon also turns to Jacen*

Alyss: Seeing Jacen heavily outnumbered, she jumps from her spot and runs by his side, her katana drawn and ready. "Looks like I finally get a shot to fight."

Endrek: *The demon warrior steps towards the dragons* ~"STAND ASIDE. SHE IS MINE"~ *Heavy sword in hand, the demon just about pushes the dragons aside as he closes on Alyss*

Jacen: Oh man! *Holding his sword high in the air he mutters a few words then shouts* ARC CRUSHER! *Swinging the sword violently down an arc of green energy rips forth, rending the ground along its path toward the nearest dragon*

Alyss: Alyss stands firm, her sword held out and in a defensive position. It was time to show these men she wasn't just some wimpy princess that would be pushed around... She waits for the demon to attack.

Endrek: *The whelp whimpers and jumps back as the blast hits it. It throws its head back, a large lump seems to move up its throat then it throws its head forward, opening its maw and lets loose a spray of acid* *The demon chuckles and brandishes his sword. Then, holding it with one hand, he swings it expertly towards Alyss*

Jacen: Holy sh...*the words are cut of as he springs to the side, wincing as a few droplets of acid splatter his boot. But his sideways momentum quickly shifts forward as he lunges with his sword point aimed for the whelp's throat*

Alyss: Alyss swing her sword up to deflect the sword. She is successful, but the force from the attack is strong and makes her stagger backwards, losing her footing for a moment.

Endrek: *Loading a second blast, the sword penetrates its throat just in time to make the acid leak out, causing the beast to writhe in pain. The acid eats away at its body, more and more leaking out. Slowly its own breath weapon eats up the body of the dragon whelp*

Alyss: "Ugh.. That is really gross!"

Christian: Spotting one of the dragons from afar, Christian takes aim towards this beast heading for Alyss. Letting the 3 foot arrow fly at the breaking speed of sound (he's about 300 yards away and the arrows are enchanted with anti matter) it lays impact to the dragon almost instantly (in case it does hit the dragon) the arrow's velocity lobs off the dragon's head causing a sonic boom in the pivotal moment of impact. Christian takes stride to observe the damages-

Jacen: *a grim satisfaction comes to his mind but he suppresses it as he turns to face the remaining two whelps*

Endrek: ~"YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT, GIRL"~ *The demon warrior once again slashes towards her* *The whelp’s lifeless body falls to the ground. The remaining whelp snarls and blows a stream of white-hot fire towards Jacen*

Alyss: She once again manages to deflect the blow with her katana. "Two whelps down.. it's your turn to die soon..."

Endrek: The demon merely laughs, making a grab for her with a large hand*

Alyss: Ah, but being tiny had its advantages at times. She easily dodges under the demon's grasp.. Then pulling her sword to one side with both hands, she jabs it towards the demon's side as she rushes by.

Endrek: *The katana passing through the demons side as if it was hot butter. Black blood seeps down slowly down the warrior’s leg as if it was tar* ~"IS THAT IT?"~ *The demon strikes towards her, almost as if his sword was a baseball bat*

Alyss: Alyss blinks, shocked that her attack was basically ineffectual. She tries to dodge the demon's sword, barely stepping out of the way, but the tip catches her in the arm and she cries in pain as she hits the floor. Looking over to the guys, hoping for some sort of back up help here...

Christian: He wondered why the demons took no advance towards the origins of the arrows. Perhaps they were to fast. Again he lets another fly with the same velocity, only towards the head of the Demon man. The arrow hitting-

Jacen: *holding his sword before him he actually blocks the fire with the blade, there was a reason it was called Wyrm Fang after all. Then the sword levels at the whelp and he mutters another incantation* LIFE SAPPER! *A tendril of energy lashes forth, linking the blade with the dragon as it begins to pull the beast's life force into the blade*

Endrek: *As she falls, the demon simply reaches down and picks her up. Knocking her over the head with the hilt of his sword then throws her over his shoulder and carries her to Endrek*

Alyss: Is unconscious…

Endrek: *However, The demon doesn’t even flinch at this. One can see that its back is covered with old scars from whip marks that aren’t of this world* *Shrieking the dragon winches in pain. Struggling to free itself from the grasp of the life sap it lashes out at the sword* Jacen: *then the life sap suddenly stops, as with a flick of the wrist, Jacen's dagger buries hilt deep in the creature's throat*

Endrek: *The creature wrenches away, the dagger is wrenched from Jacen’s hand. Yet the creature flails about, then manages a gurgling shriek before the gasses and flames inside it makes it explode*

Christian: -Christian began to run extremely fast even for a human. Approaching the Demon he reveals the beautiful serpent’s sword. A blade made holy only to become filthed in the angst of war. A small battle would be collected to the blade's story again. Christian was now facing the back of the monster. Aiming to cut his head off in one quick strike he starts to do so-

Endrek: *However, the beast whirls around, its blade clashing with Christians* ~"LEAVE US BE, WHELP"~

Jacen: *barely he manages to throw his arms up as the creature explodes, the force throws him violently back. Landing with a painful thud he feels the pain in his side telling of cracked ribs, but still he gets to his feet and runs toward the demon that has Alyss* Alyss!,p> Christian: -Having the demon address Christian in such a manner only sets off the man. This is only shown by a small smirk- Shut up, they are with me. -Grabbing demon's hilt Christian holds the demon's sword in places while he jams the blade deep into the Demon's stomach, or at least tries-

Endrek: *The blade goes in, more tar like blood flows down the demons body* ~"I SAID.. LEAVE US BE.. WHELP"~ *The demon strikes Christian backhanded at the face, dropping Alyss on the floor. The demon pulls the sword from its stomach and throws it on the floor then climbs back down the hole, and it closes*

Alyss: Still unconscious, she hits the floor hard when dropped... she lays there unmoving.

Endrek: *Realizing he is now alone against three, Endrek raises a hand into the air* "Alyss, my love, I will be back for you" *A golden, semitransparent disc appears above his head and moves down. As it reaches the floor he is gone*

Christian:-Taking note in time to see the demons punch Christian blocks it and awaits for the Demon to turn his back, from there Christian readies his bow and arrow straight down the demon's head.-

Jacen: dropping his sword he kneels down beside her, gently slapping her cheeks* C'mon Alyss, wake up. Please wake up.

Alyss: Several minutes pass before she shows some sign of waking up. She slowly opens her eyes, only to bit hit with a horrid feeling of nausea and a pounding headache. "Jacen?" she whispers...

Jacen: Oh gods Alyss you're okay *he clutches her to his body finally exhibiting all the feelings he felt for her* Dear gods...I am so glad you are okay love...*biting his lip he is quiet for a few seconds*...er Alyss

Alyss: "Yes.. I am fine. Please.. You do not need to squish me you big lug," she laughs weakly. "Did you see me fight that big demon? Not too bad for a wimp, hu?" She glances over at her sister's beloved and smiles. "Thank you for aiding us, Christian. We would have never won without your help."

Jacen: *smiling he nods* Yeah you did great. *Brushing a stray lock of hair from her eyes he looks her over* You sure you are not hurt?

Alyss: "Well, my head is throbbing, I can feel a welt developing in the back of my head, I feel like I am going to be sick at any moment and I've got this nasty gash on my arm which has ruined my new dress. But besides that..." she grins somewhat, "I am perfect."

Christian: He wasn't sure what to say. No one really had showed him much gratitude besides Selena, so mumbling he speaks in a low voice- Yea, it's what I'm paid for. -His eyebrows slightly furrow in the whole showing some sort of gratitude from ALyss- If everyone is alright I'll continue scouting back towards the castle.

Jacen: *pulling a bit of bandage from his travel pouch at his side he sets to wrapping her arm, just using a basic field dressing till he could have a bit more time on it* Well you are going to stay at the house for awhile, I would like to keep you within the city for your safety.
