Shadows of My Heart (knight)

[FaeWhisperer]

The axe could be heard finding something softer than the trees to lay into, and a squelching could be heard. Angelique raised her bow and hit a second attacker straight in the eyes, even as he began to come for her. She cursed silently and stood, hating that she would have to leave her kill behind. But she couldn’t afford to be hurt with this, not now.

 

[Knight_of_None]

The guardian held out his hand, sniffing the air a bit, his features becoming more beast like as he tapped into the beast underneath a bit. His palm flickered with dark energy, his axe wrenching from the dirt and whatever was left of the man he killed with it. It spun backwards on its path, into its masters hands. He moved backwards a step, pulling back towards the young princess. "Go, back to our territory."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Angelique didn't have to be told twice. She turned on her feet and headed straight for their camp. Her ears picked up the sounds of more attackers, but she knew Skath would be able to handle them with ease.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath turned his head to the next attacker as he picked up on their movement, swinging the axe to the side, a swath of dark power licking off the blade and blasting over the terrain.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

The trees were shattered in an instant, their trunks breaking and falling to the earth, and blood spatter misted in the air as well, the attackers no doubt. They never stood a chance, quite literally.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath bared his teeth and gave a short snark as he turned to go after Angelique. Humans. Soft and fragile, they were nothing out meat sacks to Skath. To dare strike at their betters, the princess no less, they would do better to lay down and beg for their lives.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Angelique was waiting for Skath to return, her previous kill had been put in the fresh kill pile and she was sitting on top of a large rock, her legs dangling off of it.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath shifts on his feet, humming at her question. "As long as you believe it safe.' He said after a moment of thought.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Maybe just hand to hand combat?” She asked, finding her way down to come stand next to him, perhaps sparring would be good.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Hand to hand...I suppose if you are caught without your weaponry, it would give you some ability" he said putting his axe on the ground. The head so heavy that it stood up straight without assistance.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She blinked at the noise the axe gave and she shivered lightly. He truly was very, very strong. She briefly thought about how he could use his strength in other scenarios but those got pushed away as his words brought her back to the current moment. “Right, so…where do I start?” She asked, they centered on the clearing, the others in her pack began to watch.

 

[Knight_of_None]

(XD "Man he probably likes to pin women down so they're trapped-focus!")

"Habe you practiced unarmed combat before" he said as he looked at the gathering. Skath tapped his finger on the shaftvof his axe. "If not, I suppose the best start is the art of striking."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(Hey XD I had to give her that thought eventually)

“A little, but as you saw with my weapon,” she mentioned about her bow, “I’m more at a distance..”

(Also I want this fight to be like…really physical if you catch my drift. She’s a young lioness who’s never been bred before soooo she’s gonna have some lewd thoughts that are new to her and I’m assuming he’ll be like just super casual about pinning her into a…certain position but probably even he can’t deny the hard on he feels?)

 

[Knight_of_None]

(XD Everyone: They trying to do it.)

Skath hummed as he listened to her, shifting into a low stance, starting to limber up. "Then you will do your best." He said simply.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

(XD also everyone: Write that down!)

Angelique got into a simple fighting position and nodded to him, even though she hadn’t really fought hand to hand combat too much, she did know some simple maneuvers, but they were probably way to easy for him to dodge.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath stepped forward once, his feet grinding in the dirt breifly, before he was suddenly in front of her, just like Omi and Emi. He thrusts forward, his hands wide open as he struck her in the stomach with his palm. It snapped her upwards, no more like he had lifted her with his single hand. But she could tell Skath was trying hard to hold back...if it was working anyway...well, he wasn't sure.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Angelique became winded all too easily, but to Skath’s surprise, she shifted quickly in the air, and she landed on top of his shoulders, going to flip him over with her thighs. And to be completely fair, she nearly got him down to the ground, with the mere chance of surprise, but what would he do next?

 

[Knight_of_None]

As she grot her thighs around Skath's head, something most males probably would kill each other with spoons for in a heart beat, Skath grabbed her thoughts. Aa she swiveled, using her weigh to try to pitch him with all her momentum, getting his body to start to roll.. she felt a odd difference un the move. It was too easy, like she wasn't so much dragging him into the roll but he was taking the ride willingly. His breath tickled up her inner thighs as his body curdled and flipped, his arms like steel clamps as she was unable to do anything but go down with him. He whirled with her, and her back hit the ground first as he came down next. But he didn't event seem winded, he started to pull up, his face pushing deeper between her. Thighs a moment as she was raised up and he slammed her back into the ground with a harsh body slam that shook her bones.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Gasping for air as her body slammed into the ground, she looked up at the sky, her vision blurred.

Skath would seem to forget though, Angelique was the daughter of the demon who had trained him. Now, the king had died under mysterious circumstances but, his power lived on in his only heir. It just had to be awakened.

As she was laying there and Skath was hovering over her, she was able to maneuver her legs out and she kicked him back with a force stronger than he would anticipate. As he would be recovering from that blow, she managed to sit up, and her form flickered and soon she appeared in front of Skath again, roundhousing a kick straight into that handsome face of his, knocking him backwards yet again.

Panting, she shifted and appeared where he had landed, her arm raised up and dark energy wrapped around it, her hand turning near animalistic with claws extended.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath caught himself as he hit the ground, as she raised her arm up, Skath lulled his tongue along his lip with almost a unphazed sense about him. "Your mother hits harder." He said as he shifted his arm upwards, grabbing her wrists as she clawed, knocking her arms aside and then snapping his hands over her ears with ruthless ease, making her ears shriek with pressure and and his blow to her head. He drew back and drove a kick to her ribs next, then seized her from the air by her ankle to throw her along the grass. He touched his head, twisting his neck with a soft pop.

"'Your blood makes you strong, but don't let it make you arrogant."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Angelique honestly laid there after each blow, staring up at the sky. Her vision blurred and she coughed weakly, spitting out blood. She trembled as she sat up and looked over at where Skath had been. “Right, I understand,” she spoke and slowly stood. Her beautiful face was now permanently scarred with one long gash. It reached from one brow bone all the way to the opposite cheek, across the bridge of her nose. She clutched at her ribs, pretty sure he had broken a few, and said, “I’m going to my den-“ she didn’t even wait for an answer before she headed there, limping while she did.

Angelique hissed in pain as she settled in her nest, taking some moss and dabbing at the wound on her face, letting it soak up the blood that was welling from it.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath drew his axe up from the dirt as she left h I m, the crowd in a muttering silence. Some aghast that Skath would bloody the princess ..other less surprised given his reputation as a opponent. He looked at her blood on his hand, , but walked after Angelique, it still was his duty to guard her after all.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Angelique heard him approaching but said nothing. She remained there, letting her wound heal- she had put some type of salve on it. It stung but she didn’t mind. She tried to steady her breathing but every breath was a sharp stab of pain, a reminder that she had broken ribs.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Will you sit there all day?" Skath said settling himself, waiting for her to come out. He put his axe down again, propping it up along the wall.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

“Well seeing as I have three broken ribs and a gash to the face,” she paused and hitched her breath again in pain, “Yes. Unlike you we other lesser demons need to heal properly before going back out,” she called herself lesser even though she was in a much higher caliber than him.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Don't tell me that you think yourself to be lower than me simply because you failed." He said shaking his head to himself. "Lick your wounds but do not lay yourself at the feet of anyone, your mother would never allow you to step to the throne."

 

[FaeWhisperer]

She listened to him, easy enough for him to say.

Angelique gave a soft sigh and shifted to lay down, wincing and couldn’t help but whine lowly but he would hear it.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"May I enter?" He said listening to the faint whimper. He wasn't know for things like pity or mercy, but...she got the feeling that he felt something about what had happened.

 

[FaeWhisperer]

Her eyes were closed as she heard his words but she let out a “You may,” to him, wondering why he wanted to enter. She figured he’d probably give her ear a talking off to, so she braced for it.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Skath walked into the room slowly, but he sat on the side of the bed. "You need to set the bone, or you will suffer further on." He said
