Tyler sprints to the choking dog and kicks it in the jaw. It yaps and rolls around on its back, in visible pain. "You did this!" Tyler yells, he stomps on it stomach hard, causing it to bark again, "You killed her!" He roars, and brings his sword to halt inside the mutt's throat.

Tyler turns around, happy to see that Ellie, too, has killed one of the pups, leaving just the dark one. "This one is the alpha male, it's stronger and smarter than the others, bred that way," Tyler says, as he approaches Ellie's side. "Guy or not, let's kill this bitch."


[OOC: if you guys have a problem with swearing, let me know. I just get really into character sometimes ]

[OOC: cuss like a Sailor I don't give a damn lol]

(OOC: not at all, I do the same )

Ellie grinned at the adrenaline rushing in her veins, and flicked some leftover blood off of her sword in the opposite direction. Her eyes flickered between colors, and she stared up at the sky, seeing the dark turn into a light blue. "I love fights at dawn." she murmured, before grinning at Tyler. "Alright, so how should we approach this bitch - or whatever it is." she said, taunting the mutt with a wave of her sword.

(Friendly OOC reminder from a Moderator:

We actually do have a stance on what is and isn't acceptable swearing on the public portions of our site, including here in the forums. Some mild swearing is fine, but please don't drop certain big ones, whether they're completely spelled or censored. Okay? Thank you for your time, and happy playing!)

Dorian walks through the forest oblivious to everything like a man possessed until he hears the sounds of the dog creatures and he runs towards the noise until he sees it, this one being larger than the others he draws his swords and yells to get the creatures attention. "I'll neuter them kill you bastard! Then your master is next is all he yells before jumping at the dog and stabbing his swords into its flank and starts stabbing over and over trying to climb on top of the dog. However this dog is smarter than the others and runs past a tree knocking Dorian of of him only to turn around and get ready to attack Dorian who is pulling the daggers from his boots. His eyes are dark and hollow as he shouts "Damn mongrel, filthy vermin! Come on and finish it!"

Damn it, Dorian. "Well, it would appear that we don't have much choice in the matter anymore," Tyler smirks. "Let's keep that idiot from getting killed," Tyler says, running for the dog. The dog jumps up at Tyler, baring it's teeth and snarling. When it is about five inches away, Tyler blocks, putting his blade sideways causing the dog to cut both sides of its mouth. Tyler shoves it backwards, but it comes back immediately, catching Tyler off-guard. It successfully tackles Tyler down and the it's blood spills, drop by drop, onto Tyler's shirt. "Get...off," Tyler grunts, rolling sideways with his remaining energy and getting free from the dog. Both Of them slowly regain their breath.


[OOC: Gotcha, no más F-bombs. I think we can all agree to that ]

[Ooc: yah my bad. Didn't realize that f bombs were a no no lol I shall refrain with difficulty but I'll add a filter between brain and mouth. Or fingers as it were]

(Totaaaally. )

Her eyes widened with surprise as she sees Dorian make a spectacular entrance, only for it to go terribly wrong. "Dorian-!" Her hands went to her back pocket, where she pulled out a gun. "Tyler, not there!" She groaned in frustration but sighed in relief as they both made it out alive. She raised her hands in front of him, trembling as she gripped the gun. "Stay back, both of you. This might not kill him, but it'll definitely weaken him." The sound of her fingers resting on the trigger was heard, and she took a step closer to the beast. "I just need to aim for the right spot.." Unfortunately she took too long and she pulled the trigger just as the beast lurched forward toward her, her bullet misfiring in another direction as she toppled down with the dog on top of her. A loud swear word was heard from her as its teeth sank into her arm.

Dorian charges the dog as it bites into Ellie's arm and goes under the dog to its belly and stabs upwards at the dogs pintel and runs forward still holding the daggers opening a large gash in the dogs belly from pintel to its ribcage before rolling out from underneath it only to start stabbing wildly with no clear purpose other than to cause pain into the dogs side "She's dead and your as guilty as the fool that breeds you! Your dead! He's dead! She's dead! Dead dead dead!" Dorian yells at the top of his lungs the area that he had been stabbing now a gaping hole.

Tyler rushes over to Ellie, grabbing the arm that isn't injured and pulling her up. "Oh shit," is all Tyler manages to say, still hearing the ringing in his ears from the gunshot. The dog appears dead, but Tyler has been fooled before. "Make sure it's dead, Dorian," Tyler says, loud enough for him to hear. "We need to wash that off," Tyler says, his voice getting shaky as he examines the bite wound, so similar looking to Serra's. "Hurts like hell?" Tyler asks her. This is disgusting, I am literally drenched in dog blood.

"It doesn't hurt at all." Ellie mutters in reply, her breaths turning shallow from the pain that slowly crawls up her arm. She struggles to sit up and brush it off, before handing the gun to him with shaking hands. "You don't look so good yourself, Tyler." she said with a grin, her hand coming up to apply pressure to the wound. "Hand this to Dorian, just in case that..." She looks over to Dorian, who seriously looks like he's going to do so much more than kill the dog. "..doesn't work." she says with a chuckle, before slowly getting on her feet. "I've been through...much worse."

Dorian finally stops his mindless assault when the entire ribcage is exposed on the side he was stabbing. He steps back and spits on the creatures corpse before cleaning off the blood from his daggers and putting them back in his boots, he then pulls out his swords that are still imbedded in the creatures side and cleans the blood from them as well before resheathing them he runs a hand over his heart where the brand he gave himself is still fresh and tender he starts to walk away when he sees the note from 'Seluné' has fallen from his belt to the ground in his frenzy. He drops to his knees and quickly picks it up and dusts it off and folds it up and places it between his hip and his belt again before looking at Tyler, his eyes still hollow "where is the man who owns them?" He nods his head to the dead creatures. His voice no longer innocent and mischievous, now it is as hollow as his eyes with a hint of anger underneath his tone of voice.

"I-I don't know," Tyler says, his voice apologetic, "All I know is what Serra told me: He's tall and evil. We know that he sent the dogs...maybe he has followers," Tyler says, deep in thought. The only way for us to find out is to be at a village when it's being attacked and hope for the best... "What brought you back," Tyler asks Dorian.

He turns his attention back to Ellie, "You're a tough chic," Tyler chuckles, "especially if that doesn't sting like a bitch." We need to wash it off before we wrap it. If only Kara was here...she could deal with this wound in seconds. "Dorian, are you hurt, too?" Tyler asks, partially out of concern and partially out of respect.

"Assassins aren't supposed to even shed a tear over things like this." Ellie says with a smirk, before taking off her black jacket and ripping a strip of cloth. She sits down on a nearby log and begins to bandage herself, raising an eyebrow towards Dorian. "Welcome back, Hollowtree. Ironically, when we needed you the most." she says somewhat cheerfully, using her happy tone as a distraction against the pain in her arm. "We can find a nearby village and freshen up. We're all in bad shape." she says with a chuckle, tying a knot around the bandage over the wound. "Does anyone else have any wounds..?"

"Village is gone." Dorian says before he spits out blood along with a couple of teeth courtesy of getting hit with a tree. Somewhere in the back of his mind a small part of his mind wonders the names of these two people but in his rage for whoever owns these dogs couldn't care less. "No clue as to the masters name? Anything?" Dorian asks Tyler completely ignoring the question as to why he came back. He rubs the armor over his heart again the brand causing an obscene amount of discomfort in the warm leather armor.

Tyler shakes his head at Ellie's question, "Aside from a few cuts and scrapes, I think I'm okay. We should get some water on that, infections could get bad, especially from a bite," he says, cringing as he watches her wrap the bite.

"And no, she didn't tell me anything past that. If we could get into a village before it gets attacked maybe we could find one of these attackers and ask them a couple of questions. Friendly, of course," Tyler smirks.

"I want to bury Serra. I need to do it," Tyler says, squatting down next to her.

Ellie nods at his response and loosens the knot a bit around her arm, wincing with the pain. She blows out a long, exhausted breath before glancing over at Dorian. "I think I saw a fairly small village about a few miles east from here." she says, pointing in the direction from where she came from. "We can head over there and she if we can find anything useful." She remembers how Dorian seemed to be more filled with anguish than the joking side they had seen before, and knew that something must have happened. She decides not to dwell much on it.

She returns back to reality as soon as Tyler mentions Serra, and she frowns. "I understand. I'll help you out." she says, kneeling by her body. "It's funny...I feel like I know her, somehow..."

Dorian doesn't know what to say, doesn't know if he should offer to help dig the grave so he decided to carve some wood. He takes his swords and lops off a slab of wood from a tree before starting to carve the slab. The end result being the slab turns out to be a head stone that reads, "sleep easy now little one" with random designs carved around the words that somehow seemed to flow together. Once he's done he sticks the dagger back in his boot and faces east and just stares off into space.

Tyler examines what Dorian does and gets an idea, walking to the same tree and carving off two slabs of wood. He hands one of the slabs to Ellie, "You don't have to do this," he says, before getting down on his knees beside Serra. He uses the slab to start digging a hole. Despite how early in the morning it is, it doesn't take long for Tyler to break a sweat.

All Ellie does is take the slab of wood and starts digging. Her arm honestly feels like it's going to fall off when they're about halfway there for the hole to be big enough. She doesn't mind the pain, though, since she's too busy racking her brain over why she somehow knew this girl. After they finished digging the hole, she stands and takes a step back before looking around the first and gathering flowers of various colors without a word. The sky is a light pink color and the sun is just about to rise, peaking at dawn.
