"Yessss" Swix hissed in triumph as she managed to clear a hole wide enough for her to be able to get through, stepping back for only a second or two to admire her handiwork before attempting to get through it to the path on the other side."Are you coming, tin can?" she said, briefly stopping to address the robot before turning her attention back to squirming through the gap.

Tetsu simply watched as you encased the old man in stone. For now at least, she wasn't going to stop you. Not that she would anyway- she agreed he was going to have to pay.

"If I remember correctly, my dear, It's you who harmed your friend. Threw her right down a cliff." He pauses to weakly shake his head. "Now you want someone to blame... and a defenseless old man just happened to be nearby..."

You hear a deep, rumbling growl as Tetsu swings her head in beside yours.

"But... I suppose that's not really what you were asking, was it?" He smiles, with blood on his lips. "You think if someone found and object of such power, they would what, stand around and tell others how to find it for themselves? Who is that stupid? Didn't you think it was odd someone would so freely give away such secrets?"

"I'm old, as you can tell. For me to fully appreciate the power that I've come across, I'll need some help. So, I recruited your Draconian friend, and after that was fun for a while, decided having a few more join my company could be worthwhile. But how could I make sure I only found the best, the strongest...?"

He pauses and smiles again. You're smart enough to figure it out.

You squeeze into the second rocky chasm, this one curling upward. The trail is at a steep enough angle that it is somewhat harder to race up, but not enough to hinder you too much. It's also dark, but the path is pretty uniform.

There's only one way to find out where it leads, though.

Swix shrugs her shoulders, and rolls her neck around her shoulders after the tight squeeze through the hole she'd just made. If the robot wanted to stay down there, well, that was fine by her. The woman turned and started making her up the uniform path. It was dark in here, but she didn't mind. She had a much worse type of darkness that literally lived within her, this sort, didn't bother her much.Actually she kinda liked it.

So... you like it. You're enjoying your little hike up the sloped path, winding around and around, going higher and higher.

Eventually, you reach a point where you are no longer sure how long you have bern walking. It's been a good while. But it would be the same distance to get back down again so you just have to trek on. So, you do.

You soon come to the light at the end of the tunnel. It's there you see Raven, the old man, and a very familiar Dragon in an apparent heated discussion.

Swix's enjoyment of walking higher up a dark path soon came to an abrupt end when she saw "T-t-t-t-tetsu-ko?" she blurted out before she could stop herself, all her usual arrogant confidence gone at the sight of the blue dragon, the old man and... was that Raven? Next to Tetsu-ko, stood over the old guy. The woman shook her head and quickly glanced around for something to hide behind-if there was anything. Maybe the dragon would be too busy with whatever it was she was doiing to notice her...

Raven snorted - the old man was an idiot. Though still wary for tricks, as he could after all simply be pretending, her interest plummeted.
"So you thought that bringing the strongest people you could find, to where you were when you yourself are not particularly powerful, would be a good idea?" Her voiced was laced with contempt. No matter how powerful an artefact a person holds, it was still not wise to rely on anything but your own power - or at least be able to back it up with it.

What if the artefact was fake, or not powerful enough? What if it only had a limited number of uses? What if you lost it? No, relying on power other than your own was stupid - using it was not, however. Oh how she planned to use it.

She stepped back, leaving the man encased in rock. With a flourished gesture with her hand, she gestured to him.

"All yours, my dear. I believe your grievances with him are much more personal that my own." With a grin, she waited with baited breath to see the dragon's reaction - not without noting that Swix was doing her best to hide, however.

Tetsu nodded as Raven stepped back, allowing the Dragon to do what she wanted with their prisoner. The old man had wronged them in his somewhat misguided scheme for domination. It had been mostly harmless so far.

Mostly.

The Dragon flexed her claws, and tore out the man's chest. She grinned as the man died, before black vines spread out from between her wings to tear off his limbs and throw them about.

That was easy. And not so harmless.

The blue Dragon turned, dripping in gore, and patted her little apprentice on the head. She considered what exactly to do with her now. The woman had injured her, and that wouldn't stand. On the other hand, Tetsu had been under the effects of the scarf when the fight started. She could, in theory, be excused. Plus, now that she had dazzling eyes and improved fashion, the demoness was such a nice little servant. So... maybe she would keep her around for now.

She motioned, and lowered herself so Raven could hop on.

You watch the happenings in awe as an old man is encased in stone, then furiously torn apart, first by claws then...

Tendrils. Like yours.

A chunk of bloodied meat lands by your tree, likely breaking you from probable shock. You see Raven, standing beside the Dragon, an accomplice to murder. She doesn't seem distressed as of yet, and you realize the lilac scarf around her neck may have something to do with it.

Now what? This is the worst possible scenario. The scarf has been claimed by your worst enemy, who you've just witnessed commit murder. Your only possible friend in this case has had her mind claimed by the Dragon.

What will you do?

Swix watched from behind a convenient tree, the whole thing. Including Ravens puzzling acquiescence to letting the dragon tear the man apart after he'd apparently wronged them both, rather than, you know, taking revenge herself. Odd... Then there were the vines... like her own. What was going on? The woman frowned in horror struck contemplation until a large chunk of bloody flesh landed next to her and suddenly she started seeing things more clearly.

Raven was still there, being patted patronisingly by the reptilian, with eyes that matched... and wearing a lilac scarf that she was sure she hadn't seen there before. Swix might not be all that much of a schemer, might be impatient and rash at times, but she wasn't an idiot. That piece of material draped around Ravens neck had to be what they'd both come here seeking. She wasn't a hero either, but she couldn't-wouldn't, leave another Council member ensnared like that. Of course, if Tetsu flew away then getting the demoness back would become exponentially more difficult. She had to get the blue dragons attention so she didn't go anywhere just yet.

Swix wrapped a tendril around the bloody meat near to her, lifted it and then threw it at the mythical beasts head.

"TETSU-KO!" she bellowed, stepping out from behind the tree with her tendrils poised on either side of her. "I should have known you'd be involved in this!" That was a lie, but it should get the creatures attention. If the tossed meat and the yell hadn't been sufficient, that is.
Having the robot here would make this so much easier.

Oh, good .

Swix had arrived. Tetsu-ko flapped her wings, quite possibly knocking Raven over. She was sure the woman would understand a quick change of plans.

The Dragon lifted into the sky, then arched backwards and down, picking up speed as she sped for Swix. The blue blur quickly tore through the tree with her mass, planning to knock the woman over. Or immediately kill her. Either way.

Looming over her, Tetsu wished her mouth still worked. She would love to taunt her right now.

Or... wait. She still could.

Black vines once again spread out, dancing beside the woman's face, while a disarming aroma scattered through the air.

To the outsider, the Artificer would appear to have drifted off into space. It's eyes, such as they were, were locked onto something in the distance... or they would if anything was there.

In reality, something has caught it's attention. A blip, a signal, something more pressing pulled at it's mind. And it had to leave, now. Mustering as much energy as it could spare, the machine began teleportation protocols. Where it would end up... well that was anyone's guess.

((Yea, sorry guys, I've been swamped with... I dunno, freakin' stuff. The lack of posts on my part is missing the point of the "Qwik" part of the RP so it's probably best if I just step away for now.

Bloody mortals, always staying ahead of the game ;) ))

"Oomph!" Swix's breath left her in short order when the dragons bulk hit her after Tetsu made the tree explode. The woman was knocked over into the hard ground and slid backwards. She wasn't dead, what she was was disorientated and dizzy after the impact. Gods how she hated Tetsu-ko...
When her vision cleared, the beast was stood over her, and then she saw the vines spread and start dancing in fsont of her face. But she'd stopped her from taking off with Raven, she needed to find some way to get the scarf off her. If only she'd come over here.

Swix snarled, and raised an arm to try to bat Tetsus tendrils away from her. Only for the batting to turn half hearted as the aroma took hold of her senses. Made the sense of urgency float away...

If only Raven would come over here...

((Whoops! Meant to post last night. Awh, Borg, looking forward to RPing with you again!))

Though Raven had known Swix was there, and was hiding for some reason, she hadn't anticipated this.

They were fighting. They couldn't fight. Why were they fighting? They obviously had a problem with each other - the dragon was excluding a scent of some sort to relax people, but even that couldn't mask the killer intent she was exuding. They wanted to kill each other - well, the dragon seemed to want to. Swix just seemed to want to get away. Swix. Swix was hers - but the dragon is hers too.

Finally a little sense crept into her head. Neither should be hurt - they were both under her protection. Though how the dragon got there is a bit vague and fuzzy... something about giving her this beautiful... scarf. She fingered the oddly soft looking scarf, her mind getting distracted with thoughts of how wonderful the dragon was.

NO. She would stop them fighting each other, at least. Pressing her hands to the ground, she growled out a command - a wall separating the two, big enough to withstand a few hits from the dragon, shot up.

Her head was pounding, a thick, foggy pain began to seep into her every thought. Swix was in danger - the EC members were her charges. But... this dragon was somehow more important than that to her. That seemed... wrong. She rubbed her temples, trying to alleviate the pain.

"Might I ask why you two are fighting?" Raven drawled, still trying to work out the conflict of her heart and mind.

((Aww. Bye Borgy! :())

Tetsu shot an absolutely heartwrenching glare at Raven. Betrayal. She should have killed her earlier.

With the rock wall between the two, the blue Dragon begins smashing on it with clawed fists. She of course couldn't explain the relationship with Swix, since Betray McBetrayerson had slit her jaw. Not that she would have anyway, but that was beside the point.

Hopefully she could just collapse this conveniently placed slab on the woman's head.
