Njuko is staring at Dinga. His face prime for punching. With that stupid redness that has filled his skin his head look like a target. A breeze blows past Njuko spots a shadow slipping away unable to clearly identify it he let's it be.
Dinga shouts, "Get him boys." Kuki moves first he appears to be the leader of trio. His move is to go and defend Dinga leaving the other two deal Njuko. The other two move around slowly closing in.
Hito a mercenary who's only distinguishing feature is how plain he looks. Short black hair, normal brown eyes, no scar or piercing just your typical everyday scavenger, who pulls out a weapon. A thin long spear black made out of some kind of wood. He swurls it towards Njuko.
Njuko begins facing the man, the other one is oddly still and mumbling to himself. Njuko doesn't care. It just means! Swoosh the spear head rattles past his neck. Njuko steps closer to Hito. The spear follows him. Hito pulls then thrust this time holding on so that he can twist! Njuko bobs his head out of the way again two steps to the side. His is out of punching range. He is saving his power for the woman in blue armor. His sense is that she again. Hito spins to counter moving body and spear as so that he can. Twang!
The spear having been properly used hit its target. However Njuko is close so he got hit by the shaft. Njuko grabs the spear bring himself.
*Shot of Red Fire*
A burning comes right him. At the angle he is standing. The other mumbling mercenary can provide long range support with out
-45 [fire damage]
The clouds above gathered, swirling oddly not in rssponse to anything Njuko did. He spotted the oddly red clouds. When he leaned over backwards to dodge a spear thrust from Hito. The slay devil had quickly snapped the shaft so that he can use it like short spear. The air in the area changes much like just before a storm it cools. Not to be cold the coming storm is more violent that cold. The smell of approaching something this Strom doesn't carry rain it has something more brutal in it. The beating of thunder in distant. Ọya is pulled into a Trim of sorts. Like Pillars it's a solid space only its sits on the edges of pillirs allowing someone who doesn't belong to ever so briefly enter someone's pillar or as is has been just done to pull them into the Trim.
Hito is slashing wildly at Njuko with his short spear he seems more comfortable with it like this and frantic.
'He is moving too much, he has no reason to be so. I wonder he feels so desperate, no what's his rush.' Njuko looks around trying to see if there is in particular. He stops dead in his tracks as a deep feeling of emptiness grip and twist his heart. Ọya is gone he can't feel. The pain he feels becomes physical the method used to remove her is painful. Hito thrusts forward frowing after scoring his first direct hit.
Ọya pulls herself together in storm form, her clouds are iridescent. A wonderous display of color and vitality. This is her in a past form when bodies had not been created yet. She sends out a short sharp, 'Traitor.' The sending is in the form of a mountain standing on its tip.
A small girl appears before her, teeth red like the lighting the rest of her is smoke, but its pure white. "Sister it's been a long time, I have soo wanted to speak with." the voice is little in all honestly no normal person would have heard her but she is not really speaking anyway. This way of using intention to shape is wrong.
"I'm no sister you to you, liar!" Ọya's sending is complimented by her storm, which booms as she sends emphasizing liar which is a particular odd sending as it's that same upside mountain but focused on the tip.
She expands and shrinks back, a rage response. "Ọya then, that's what you going by now isn't? My Childern are coming now that you have escaped. We can finally meet again Sister..." the way she intended the 'sister' came out as a hiss like the made by the Hydrogens.
Ọya thunders blue and purple, sending a torrent of broken lands, a statue of green woman holding a flame falling into the sea. A huge red tower consumed by rust. "Murderer!"
"Now, now sister, name calling is so unlike you after all. You cannot be mad at the crow for eating the worm." this intention dualistic in nature. Unsettling to Ọya.
Ọya sends back a wave, a slow ever growing wave that sweeps over everything in the world flooded over persevered perfect in its waters.
" We will see if that's true. "

Hito steps back. Njuko looks troubled the deep set veins bulging and jaw clenched tightly. Njuko snaps from the ground, however its not a punch but his whole body. He arrives before Hito, his eyes devoid of light. Hito can't help but drop his spear in fear.
Njuko punches him thunder can be heard after his punch but no lightning was expelled from his body. Again it explodes a loud sound like cracking. Hito folds mouth gaping open falling to his knees.
*Shot of Fire*
-46 [fire damage]
It explodes on Njuko's back, he didn't even flinch. He moves again snapping his body the dread in his heart ever expanding. Arriving before Kuki, who is still paralyzed with fear or awe. Mutters "What the hell are you?"
Another boom of thunder, blocking the incoming kick. Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider, has finally moved. She was spurred on by the feeling of shock. Remembering her training, she pulls her sword. Her hair has stood up. "Your a conduit aren't you?" she asks Njuko.
Njuko lifts his hand at her after blocking her kick. Light builds from the tip of his finger.
*Bolt*
202 [lightning damage]
Kuki survives with one health reaiming, having only one hundred and fifty the bolt that missed the woman hit Kuki. Njuko must of been trying to rob or something. Kuki had this all planned when they arrived he had immediately spotted the woman and planned to be her knight in shinning armor before robbing her. The look of horror she had when they arrived had Kuki believe that Njuko must have said something to her to make so afraid. In his mind he would be a hero, make some cash and finally get the girl too.
Kuki stood there his skin cracked all over from the bolt. Dinga who screams and starts running away. Njuko wanted to after him.
*Wind Slash*
-99 [air damage]
Njuko can't ignore her, she is still stronger than him. He is currently a very polished level 5 even with the boost to his stats it doesn't cover the overall gap between them. He rushes at her. Throwing a kick at Falcon.
'StoneSister's bleeding he is fast.' Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider thinks to herself. He is much faster than before. She barely managed to dodge his first magic attack and now this kick. She can feel it through her armor. She slashes since he is in range. Her blade whistles in the air.
Njuko felt like his kick should have done more, she is not causing him to surge, but the damage he took clear. She is definitely stronger than him. So he steps back at her sword swing. Popping twice this time his shots both miss.
Temple Guardian Falcon Farstrider, had already seen through his move. 'He likes attacking on the back foot.' She too steps out of the way of the balls of white lightning. Moving her closer she slashed again twirling and slashing, side step slash! Forward thrusts into another spinning sword slash. Her movements are crisp and filled with deadly intention.
Ọya decides to send anything the Trim is already failing it only a matter of time before she is back with Njuko. She is a little surprised at herself for having known for such a short she feels responsible for him especially with the Childern of the Storm coming. 'I should guide him more, the challenges coming are so dangerous.' A sending slips out clearly its Njuko but his core is that of Tāwhiri. How she misses that one.
"Dont you dare! It's your love of flesh bags that got you impresioned in the first place. I will destroy this too and finally end them all and this time nothing can stop me." Her red teeth bleed with intention of destruction to come. So intent on destruction. She eats at the Trim destroying it.
Njuko had to dodge each and every swing that comes his way. She is so strong he can feel the air twist around her blade. She is actually pushing him back because no matter how far back he goes the blade feels like it's barely inches from his neck.
The other mercenary has high tailed it behind Dinga leaving his two downed allies for the Crows. Njuko says "So what if I am a conduit?"
"FrostFathers' guidance!.."He confession at being is shocking, it is a thing no one would admit..."As a Temple Gaurdian it is responsibility to take to you down conduit." she said conduit with as misch disgust as she could then went all out again attacking at the Conduits vitals.
Njuko spins, bobs and ducks every slash. Every time the distance is closer to his neck. Her flurries are becoming shorter more deadly. Her movement continues like breeze building into a twister. Njuko launches his own attacks now he can't only dodge but it's too soon, a cut on his arm from the sword disrupts his attack. She twirls more and more cutting at him.
Njuko can only dodge the most vital hits, the places like his shoulder, cheeks and thighs have all been cut. She moves more and more.
Temple Guardian Falcon Farstrider, is starting to feel the fatigue from the effort. This is mainly due to the fact that she is still running her Gale Force. Gale Force is a channelled spell that continously consumes mana for increased strength. Her is about to run out but she is so close, now that she is hitting him finally her Gale force add speed to get strength. She pushes through the dizziness. She sees it the third blow from now will hit his neck just in time. She has him dead to rights.
Njuko dances around her blows, feints and thrusts. A quick side step creating space she is too strong, he needs to find Ọya. His thoughts are about her more than survival this feeling of dread from having her ripped from him. Njuko battles the pain in his heart. The cuts are nothing. He moves back into one of thrust. The sudden change in direction had caught him gaurd.
*Gale Force 5*
110 [wind damage]
Of his remaining health which is two hundred and thirty. Two more carefully put attacks should kill him. Ọya returns at the same a strange shimmer goes through the world. For a spilt second everything frooze then resumed.
Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider, feels the disturbance, to her its an omen. He armor starts blinking. An emergency signal from the temple. She has to decide quickly kill a conduit or save the Temple. "Ahh!" she rushes at him at when saw the symbol proper its not the emergency signal. It's the force recall system. Every Guardian is being summoned to the Temple only two people have tbe authority to this one being Magistrati Beneza.
Njuko stops in relief at the Ọya, he sends to her and does too. Falcons armor start to blink rapidly, then a mad dash at him from her. Her sword going for the heart. She hits his armor, strands of light travel up. She hits the skin a strange sheering of her presence. Her sword hits rib she vanishes.
