Lord of Azure Flame Chapter 22: The Hunt

Recommended Posts

Yet again, concern for one of her friends proved a dangerous distraction. As Tessa had turned back, her gut wrenched as she saw a solid blow from Irina send Kamilla flying.

"NOOOOO!" she called out, tears starting to form at the corners of her eyes. Quickly running towards her fallen friend, feebly trying to crawl away, she knelt and began frantically to heal the reformist. First placing her staff on the wound, then cradling her head, as the tears were now fully streaming down her face.

"You... never deserved this. Never."

Althea saw the wyvern rider knock Kamilla from Blitz. Poor girl...but this mission must be completed. She whirled around and tried to attack Arrin, but the nomad woman got in the way...

Regretful aid

Alex moved on to the next target, the last axe cavalier, taking him down with two equally devastating blows. She was on the verge of collapse, though, as the man struck her with his dying breath.

Fools Rush

"YOU!" Derek said, seeing Viveka fall, to the blind man's blade. Whipping around, the cavalier rushed his friend's vanquisher, only to miss, and take two heavy blows to the chest as the foe leaped through the air.

"You will not win by simply swinging at me, with your rage," Henry said, quietly as he landed.

Heinz grinned as the cavalier began to sway on the saddle, aiming to finish him off. The first dagger struck cleanly (+2 dmg), when the cavalier made a last ditch effort and urged his horse into a gallop away from the thief, causing the second dagger to miss (+0 dmg). Heinz blinked, stunned as the lance cavalier turned his horse around, the sword striking directly at Heinz's chest (+4 dmg Link).

Heinz: 5/9 HP (+5 exp)

Sword Cav B: 1/12 HP

Arrin ran after Tessa, standing beside her and keeping an eye on the battle as she healed Kamilla. Kelas followed, ready to intercept any attack that came... and one did. The leader followed, aiming to attack Arrin. Kelas threw herself from the saddle to intercept the blow. "Like hell I'm going to let you kill him!" she snarled, staggering under the force of the blow. Her left shoulder was badly injured; shooting would be right out. She dropped her bow and drew her sword, making a careless swing.

(4,2,1) Miss!

The woman parried easily and attempted to cut her down, realizing that killing Arrin would require getting Kelas out of the way.

(5,4,6) Hit! Althea does 9 damage! Kelas KO!

This time Kelas did fall. "Kelas!" Arrin shouted. He still refrained from attacking; now that he was thinking reasonably again, he wasn't sure he could hit this woman, let alone do damage. He had no idea what to do... he froze.

Kelas KO, Althea 15/15, Kelas +10EXP

The boy seemed frozen at his sister being cut down. Poor child...I'll end this quickly she thought to herself, swinging at the boy,

(3,4,3)= 11-4= 7 damage

(1,6,1) But the boy somehow dodged her second swing. Arrin 5/12

Henry attacked the wyvern rider who struck down Kamilla.

Arrin cried out for Kelas, and Tessa turned to watch things go very badly for the nomad against the fiery-haired valkyrie. The enemy then turned on Arrin, and wounded him deeply.

"Kamilla, run. You have to survive, and it's clear I can't protect you and everyone. Run, hide, and don't look back. I'm sorry it's come to this."

Tessa then stood, wiped the tears from her eyes, and rushed to Arrin's aid.

Arrin +6, 11/12

We Fight Even Still

Viveka tried to stand up but was badly wounded. Susann was laid out right next to her whinnying in pain.

Viveka: Urgh ... dammit ... he was still looking after h-her ugh.

Hearing her friend's voice, Kamilla forced herself onto her feet while crying out in pain. She'd never been so badly wounded in all her life but if she was going to survive she would have to force it out of her mind and press on.

Attack!

His fury unable to be spent on that damned swordsman, Derek moved over to take another lance cavalier down. He landeda a solid hit, but misjudged the angle of strike and got knocked off of Ann. As the cavalier was to be finished off, his foe got impaled through the Chest.

"Now we're even," Alex said, removing the spear.

Another Lance Cavalier arrived, and Alf roared in anger, slashing violently at the man. The man stabbed him in the stomach but Alf's berserk rage combined with his reflexes had him immediately swing back very fast, chopping off the unlucky man's head.

Heinz coughed slightly when the cavalier pulled the sword from his body. Should've expected that attack, wiping the blood off his mouth with his left hand. Gripping a dagger in his other hand, Heinz threw it shakily, the weapon bouncing back against the man's armor (+0 dmg). He scowled as the cavalier prepared to charge again, throwing another knife with his other, stronger arm (+1 dmg Link). The enemy cavalier stumbled mid-stride, falling from his horse into a heap on the ground.

The mercenary pressed his bloodied hand to his wound. Might be a good idea to get healed before I attack again, looking around warily. Letting myself be caught off guard like that...

Heinz: 5/9 HP

Sword Cav B: 0/12 HP (+10 exp) Heinz promotes!

Ronald decided to defend himself from the axe cavalier attacking him. Goddess give my light strength...

Luc Altair

Luc struck again at the monk. This had to be a knockout blow! And Luc manipulated himself as best he could. There was no way that could have been a killing strike. Yes, the boy had to live through that. But--Luc grasped his chest--the hits he had sustained from the monk's magic were not so easy to take.

Luc has 3/12 HP.

Using the brilliant strategy of charging in and screaming like a madman, Alf rushed towards Althea, striking towards her but missing and got slashed in the chest before the Valkyrie gouged out his eye!

Falling down screaming in pain, Alf clutched his face, rocking and giving out some inhuman growls before falling. He tried to stand up but failed and collapsed.

To challenge the Church

After Charlotte healed her, Alex decided to attempt to shorten the combat, by attacking the leader. Unfortunately, bloodloss weakened her aim, and the woman promptly got nailed by a Lightbrand. As she fell, she saw a man, who looked so familiar...

"Br..o...th...er..?" she said, before being swallowed by darkness.

Kelas lay still, struggling to breathe despite her injuries. Arrin was dimly aware of being healed, and finally found his voice: "Elthunder," he said quietly, concentrating, and released the spell.

(6,4,1) Hit! Arrin does 5 damage!

Althea was quick to respond, and Arrin staggered under another attack.

(2,1,3) Hit! Althea does 4 damage!

(3,5,6) Hit! Althea does 8 damage! Miracle activate!

Arrin fell, rapidly losing blood. Some unknown force enabled him to hold on, though, and he retained consciousness, watching carefully to see if he could at least a last surprise attack in.

Arrin 1/12, Althea 10/15, Arrin +10EXP

As the battle with the reformists began, Aiya swooped down towards the leader. Hoping to ambush the woman and take her out of the fight, Aiya swung with a mighty shout and a powerful divebomb.

A resounding clang shook the air, as the Zweihander was deflected by a sphere of light magic about the woman.

"What the hell-?" Aiya was unable to complete her query, as a massive magical blast wrought of the light brand struck her body.

The magical assault seared her form, as she fell into shock and collapsed upon the ground with a shrill cry, and a weak thud.

Aiya(6,1,3) Hit, 0 Damage.

Althea(3,4,4) Hit, 20 Damage, KO

Aiya + 10

The boy had shocked her badly, her first wound of the battle. She looked around. Everyone else is dead...I need to finish this quickly...

(1,6,1) The boy dodged...again.

(3,1,6) She slashed again, finally bringing him down.

Charlotte ran over and healed the first person she found conscious, which happened to be Irina (Irina +6 16/18)'

Morgan attacked the valkyrie.

(5,2,6)= 3 damage.

She was promptly slashed into unconsciousness (4,3,3) (5,4,4)

Luc searched the battlefield for enemies and only saw the leader left. But, from the was she moved and struck, this was not a foe Luc would do well against--especially so injured as he was.

Arrin fell into her arms, bleeding out. Tessa grit her teeth and frantically healed his wounds, before performing some emergency first aid on Kelas too. Both were incredibly quick jobs, the enemy was indeed right before her, and she had to be prepared to defend herself. Drawing the wyrmslayer, she held it awkwardly in one hand, not yet letting go of the staff, and trying to make a decision on how to proceed.

Jumping up towards Althea, Reika tried to stab Althea but Althea parried the blow and threw one right at her. Fortunately Reika dodged it before heading to Alf.

"Hey! Gouged eye over here! Healing would be nice! Good help is hard to find these days!....dammit.

Seeing only the leader of the Reformists left, Heinz took a stab at the woman, inflicting a small wound (+2 dmg). The valkyrie retaliated, Heinz ducking quickly underneath her blow (+0 dmg Link). At least I got in a hit, glancing to the side at the other thief. Although she's in better shape, readying another knife in his hand.

Heinz: 5/9 HP (+10 exp)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tas had - rather than fighting - been attempting to ferry the injurred towards the carrage which seemed to be a sort of base of operations. (I can be of better use this way. Thes people are trained professionals.) As he had been doing, he looked up to see how Irina was doing. (She seems fine. I'll help out, though if any way I can.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is grim," muttered Raemond, "I'd best intervene.." With that, he rode down to Althea's side and dismounted Lantos, sending the horse back to the hilltop. "You will face me now as well!" he called, readying his tome. Quickly, to Althea, he mentioned, "I told you, I will not allow this to fail without my aid."
