The man smirked as he looked back over towards his mates who were chuckling to themselves with a look of glee on their faces, Amelia brought her lips to his neck placing a kiss on it; to look like she was ready to make out with him right then and there. She felt the man hold her closer to his body, a sly smirk appeared on her mouth before she brought up her knee connecting it to his groin making him groan and fall to the ground once Amelia stepped back. The man whimpered and he pulled himself into a ball and cried, his friends watched in concern; they'd never seen their friend get hit in the groin before.
Amelia pulled him out in his ball position and sat onto his lap, where she pulled out her dagger from her leather belt and placed it against the man's neck seeing his adams Apple bobble as he gulped, "Maybe I can cut you open right now and skin you alive?" She asked, a deep chuckle once again leaving her mouth. "Maybe I can and maybe I won't. Maybe after that, I can feed your sausage to my dragons, I'm sure they would enjoy it."
She took a glance towards his private area bringing the dagger towards it, "But then again it may be too small and be only a snack or a treat, not an actual meal."
Amelia was about to stand up while the man caught her off guard grabbing her right leg and pulling her down onto the ground; his friends laughed as they witnessed Amelia getting knocked to the ground. She groaned as her head smacked against the wooden floor.
"By the way, my name is Seron Seko and I will be famous here at Gandor when I kill you, your friends and your dragons," he smirked as he held the dagger to her throat. "I murder your friends first and let you watch them all before I kill you."
Amelia winced a little as she felt the dagger cut her neck a little; not enough to kill her but enough for her to bleed. She hooked her left leg around his right leg twisting his body off of her so she could stand up. Amelia grasped the small cut on her neck and wiped the blood away.
Amelia turned to leave as she wasn't in the mood to fight half-drunken men, before she even got the chance to move her foot Soren grasped her forearm and used some force to turn her around.
"I want a proper fight. See who is better. If I win I get to kill you, your friends and your dragons and if you win. Well, you can decide what happens." Soren smirked as he pushed Amelia back making her stumble.
Soren was quick to grab the sword that was settled nicely in his sword holder, Amelia couldn't help but roll her eyes, she sighed before grabbing the dagger and holding it tightly towards her body.
"How can she win with a dagger. Is she that dumb?" Amelia heard a man speak up.
Soren rushed towards Amelia making her duck and weave to the right as Soren was about to reach her, he slashed his silver swords towards her. Amelia was quick to parry it with her dagger; it clashes against the metal on the sword: with a shriek that sent sparks flying into the air. Soren was quick and used an uppercut slash towards Amelia, attempting to catch her with his sword. Amelia sidestepped to the right but she wasn't as fast as the first time earning her hair to get a little chopped making her gasp. Soren's friends cheered as it was a close call to Amelia's head.
Quickly, before Amelia could respond with a follow-up, Soren swiftly punched Amelia in the stomach knocking the wind out of her and stunning her for a brief minute. As the minute past, Amelia let out a dark chuckle, swinging the dagger back cutting his right arm. Blood began to fall from the wound dripping into the wooden floor. The fight had taken Amelia and Soren dangerously close to the edge of the tavern and Amelia had her back almost to the wall.
Soren was still open for more attacks though and Amelia was not done. The quick blow had opened Soren up for another attack and Amelia obliged him, putting a simple sidekick into the Soren's stomach, doubling him over. Amelia followed that up with a quick rising uppercut. Those in the tavern gasped at the force she had given it knocked Soren to his feet.
Taking the opening and using the surroundings to her advantage, she backflipped onto the wall behind her and pushed off towards Soren. The maneuver sent her front flipping towards Soren and just before she reached the Soren, Amelia flattened her body out feet first. Instead of colliding with her adversary though, Amelia opted to wrap her feet around Soren's neck instead.
The maneuver caught Soren off guard as he was recovering his wits, once again.
Amelia gave him an apologetic shrug, mid-air. As if to say, "sorry" for what was going to come next.
Amelia used his momentum in a creative, instead of piling into her opponent; instead, she jerked to the right and swung around Soren. Then, when she was directly behind Soren, Amelia curled her legs into her body and angled her body towards the ground, changing the direction of her fall, putting the weight of her jump into a powerful throw.
Soren was pulled off his feet violently and was thrown across the floor. He skidded and tumbled along the ground, uncontrolled. He was stopped by the other end of the tavern wall, about five feet from where he was standing to the end wall. A groan escaped his lips as the pain from the attack started setting in. Soren looked up and his eyes opened with surprise.
As Amelia was about to let go of Soren, during the throw, she had planted both hands on the ground. When Amelia completed the attack, she sprang off her hands landing on her feet once again. Soren screamed once more and tries to rush forward, only for Amelia to stop his attack with the dagger once again.
She smirked as she threw herself into a spin, that Ruvaen had taught her when they were training one time, she jumped off the ground and fly kicked Soren in the neck making him choke and grasp his throat as he tried to catch his breath.
Soren barely had time to breathe, let alone dodge. He couldn't lose to a girl, especially one that is young, his eyes widened as her foot collided with his face sending him down to the ground. Soren coughed and went to sit up when Amelia placed the dagger against his throat making him gulp once again.
"I win," she whispered before standing up, she placed the dagger back into her holster. "You will leave me, Abigail, my dragons and my friends alone."
She stood up giving him one last kick to the face before clearing her throat and faced those who were still stunned that she had won with a dagger, "If any of you threaten my dragons, my friends or you try to kill them. I won't hesitate to kill you all either," she warned.
"How? It will prove to everyone that you are just as cruel as us" another voice spoke out.
"I have my ways," she adjusted her dagger before opening the door slightly a smirk plastered on her lips. "You guys have a good day now."
With that, she left the tavern meeting up with Abigail who was waiting outside for her. "What did you do?" Abigail asked.
Amelia shrugged as they began walking down the dirt path back towards the estate, "Nothing too bad, I just taught them a lesson."
Amelia and Abigail were almost back at the estate when Abigail asked another question, "Do you practice magic?"
Amelia looked over at her, "Sometimes, when I have the chance, Ruvaen helps me sometimes if I'm learning a new spell, but I've learnt almost all of them and mastered a lot, why?"
"Oh no reason, I just wanted to know. I've been trying for months to figure out what I can do but I can only seem to use spells from a book," Abigail replied.
Amelia looked up at Abigail for a few seconds before they headed towards the granny flat behind the estate, "Mine are a bit different because of what I went through, maybe try using a staff. I've got one tucked away in the granny flat you can use."
"Really? You'll let me use it?" Abigail inquired, excitement escaping her voice.
Amelia chuckled a little and nodded, "I don't use it anymore and I'm sure you'll get more use out of it for me. All you've got to do is bless it with a crystal and you have a magical staff."
Amelia opened the door to the guest house to see Ruvaen and Ceada sitting on the couch and going through some books; Amelia caught a glance, they were reading up the history of Gandor. Amelia left them to it before heading into the room she was staying in.
The chest she had kept in the guest house was still there, she kneeled and opened it slowly taking things out before grabbing the staff and a crystal, "Here we are."
Amelia stood up and dusted it off before handing them both to Abigail, "Thank you, Amelia, how do I join them together?" She asked.
"Hold them together and say the binding spell, do you know that one?" Amelia asked.
Abigail nodded, she closed her eyes before saying the binding spell, "Ég bið þig að binda þessi tvö atriði við mig og líkama minn. Ég bið þig að binda þá saman, ég bið þig að leyfa okkur að vinna saman."
Amelia watched as a small light appeared on the crystal and the staff slowing they formed together to create a crystal staff that will generate spells through Abigail to the staff. Abigail opened her eyes and gasped in excitement.
