Sati Lilim charges more ad more magic, finally bringing her arms in front of her in a casting stance, "Flames of Oblivion harken to my aid!! Maragidyne!!!" she chants as she changes her angle at the last second and targets not Raven but the cage bars behind her and slightly to her right. The spell would sound like a cannon going off as it was fired, and even louder as it connected with its target point. It really brought up the question, exactly how strong was Human restraints against well powerful supernatural magic? Because if everything went as planned, the force of the fiery explosion would see the arena cage blasted open and smoldering as a result of Lilim's attack.

Provided that worked Lilim would change back to her normal self and rush closer to Raven, attempting to grab her by the wrist, "Run!!" she would say quickly as she tries to help Raven jump out of the arena through the hole in the bars and race toward the forest while holding her hand and practically dragging the allegedly dazed girl toward freedom.

If it didn't work Sati Lilim would widen her eyes and gasp as the bars remained intact, "What?" she would ask in a daze, acting as though her attack simply missed and playing it off so that the crowd would not panic from the display.

(lol perhaps this brings the opportunity it for them to get recaptured later. I think that'd be interesting!)

Raven braced for impact, not knowing what kind of power this succubus was about to unleash. Her eyes widened in surprise as the bars behind her we're not only blasted open, but they were smoldering as well. Before she had time to process anything, the succubus had grabbed her by the wrist, and Ravens shield dissipated into nothing. Not even seconds after that they were running towards the opening, jumping over through the hole and running outside towards freedom. is this really happening?! she thinks as she looks behind her, seeing a fleet of guards running after them. She skids to a stop before grabbing the succubuses wrist.

"Wait, I have an idea!"

She says before closing her eyes. It was that moment that a black energy surrounded her as she chanted.

"Gnillacfo ehtworc! Dnelem ruoysgniw!"

She shouts before her eyes open and they're pitch black. Large wings sprouted from ravens back, the wings resembling a crows. She grabs onto the succubus, before jumping up into the air and soaring into the sky. She gets a safe distance up before looking down below to make sure the coast was clear.

"You just saved me....Thank you! Thank you so much! Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

The force from the fire blast was great indeed, just not for Will. He got to the tallest part of the tree when the blast hit, causing him to fall from the tree. The branch he fell from was above the whole village, so everyone, including those in the arena, could see him fall. He yelled as he fell and went through the roof of one of the houses and it being a two story house, through the second floor and onto a table, breaking it.

He groaned and slowly stood up as he brushed off his leather trench coat. He walked to the door and opened the door, walking out before running to the arena, drawing his katana as he ran.

mean while Lilia brakes her chains and runs out through the walls and makes her way to a cave makes her way to her what was once the kingdom she once was the queen and used her magic fix all the old buildings

Lilim reluctantly stopped as Raven bade her to, thinking they were about to tag team the guards, only to get grabbed around the waist and flown into the air by a power that was not her own flying ability. She'd blink a few times before they got to the height where it was safe to stop, then Lilim would carefully wiggle free of the now winged girl's embrace, hovering by her own power, "It's ok, really... You actually helped me out by providing enough elemental energy for me to transform. There's a lot of powers I cant use unless I have outside help... So thank you again for that." she says calmly, looking down at all the 'ants' that were now waving their weapons at the high flying two.

Lilim would reach to grab the girl's hand again and would swing her gently out of the way, an arrow coming up right under where she was floating before, "Whoops, watch out, we got archers under us." she says before another arrow came at them and hit Lilim in the heel, only to make a clashing sound as though it had hit a stone and bounced effectively off of Lilim's magical armor. The arrow would spin like a baton for a moment before falling back toward the ground, away from the crowd. She'd look around alon the ground for a few more moments, "Where is she?... Where is she?... Dangit girl send up a flare..." Lilim whispers almost franticly, seeming to be looking around for someone that she simply was not seeing.

Will ran into the arena through the opening to only find the two gone and the arena full of armed guards, all looking up at Lilim and shooting arrows at her, until they noticed him. The guards, at least the one with blades and melee weapons, began moving in on him. Will charged the mob of guards and tackled one before rolling over him and spinning, slashing three guards.

Raven gently let go as lilim wiggled free from her grasp and flew on her own accord. She just nodded in response, unable to contain a smile as crows voice emerges once more.

so THATS why you were so excited!!"

"For a moment we thought you were losing your mind.."

Raven says as lilim grabs her by the hand and swings her to the side. Her face turned red for a moment before noticing the arrow that shot in place of her. She blinked before looking back at lilim, but before she had time to react an arrow had hit the girl in the heel. But it sounded like it was hitting stone! Then at a moment's notice it was sent flying back down away from the crowd. Though she tilted her head in confusion as she began speaking to another girl? Or maybe she was directing her comments towards raven? She wasn't entirely sure, but she needed to know before giving away their position.

"Are...you ok?? Who are you talking to?? Are you wanting me to send up a flare??"

"and who are you looking for?"

Crap... Rhi thinks to herself, watching the whole commotion from high above the arena walls. Silently hiding her electric blue tail and fur behind a few sandstone pillars, she peers down into the arena, watching both the clashing guards and the two girls floating up above.

That ass hat has to be around here somewhere...

Once more thinking to herself, she looks for the king who would no doubt be attempting to flee at this point, should he even be here in the first place. Her rosy cheeks blush a little as she strains her eyes, focusing on every human she can pick out, looking for the king or some other member of royalty. Her claws surrounded in lightning, she instead dives down into the crowd of guards, using her claws to punch through the guards armor one by one, though only mildy effective at actually killing, the lightning is enough to stun each guard she hits as their metal armour is surged with shocks of power.

Using her lightning, she surrounds herself and zips out of the crowd once more, seeing if the commotion was enough to draw out any member of royalty.

Will stood up and began spinning his sword, right as he noticed a blue, maybe bluish purple blur zip through the guard mob, taking a few out. He continued despite the blur, blocking and parying their attack before landing stabs and slices with his razor sharp blade, punching through some of their armor.

Realizing that she would not find royalty at this time and that the guards were quickly closing in on her, Rhi gets down on all fours before surrounding herself in lightning once more. The wildly flaring electricity begins to take on what seems to be the form of a wolf, enveloping her entirely before she leaps off in the direction that will had entered in from. Ignoring all of the guards on the way through, she dashes by the human in trouble. Having no empathy for humans, she ignores any chance of helping the man as she gets herself out of there, dashing off at lightning speeds towards the nearest forest.

Lilim looked down at all the commotion going on and seeing the electrically charged beast rampaging about, now doused her hope of finding whom she was after. Drawing her arms up and thrusting them down to her sides again with her hands doubled up into tight fists, "Stupid Raiju!!!" Lilim shouts as the crackling electric beast fleas the scene. "Grrrrr... I'm looking for my little sister... If I got brought here, there's gotta be a chance she was too... But thanks to that electricity wielding beast, she's probably ducking for cover somewhere... Elesa is scared to death of electricity..." she says as she tries a little harder to sense this 'Elesa' out among the crowd, "Hey... Is there any chance you remember seeing a little girl when you were being led here? Red hair, blue eyes, short black skirt and a bunch of little metal charms on her belt?" Lilim asks Raven curiously.

Elesa would indeed be ducking for cover in her attempted escape. They had tossed her into a cage but made the mistake of letting her keep her charms. She had used one of them to escape from the cage, and was almost at the door when she heard the crackling of electricity and it send her diving into a corner of the building and covering her head tightly with her arms. She'd whimper timidly from the noise and would indeed be hiding in the barn she had been locked in. Before the electricity started surging, she had heard Lilim take on her Sati form, and was trying to make her way out to send up a flare so Lilim could find her. But her priority now was hiding until whatever was causing the electricity was gone, and she'd be whimpering and crying noisily all the while out of fear of being hit by the electricity.

The commotion scared the small, deflating slime, who wanted only peace in the world. Slime could feel the vibrations of chants nearby, accompanying the dangerous melody of fighting. It thought about its situation, afraid of every little thing that moved. It hopped cautiously away from the source of angry emotion, quivering in the soft breeze. Its friend, Journal, was safe inside the gel that was Slime, though had fear of falling due to gravity. The two had been journeying together for quite some time now, and had learned the hard way that humans truly held no respect for Monsterkind. They had watched Goblins lose work due to them, had witnessed griffins abused by them, orcs slaughtered for them, and listened to a white haired beast's tale of how they murdered his wife and children. Everything about their world was wrong, and the two friends had decided they needed to take a stand....



...But what could a slime and a book truly do?

Will continued his fighting until one of the guards got lucky and managed to stab Will, stopping him in his track. This was followed by another stab by another guards, and so on until they managed to turn him into a living pin cushion. He had ways of making a natural armor that could block their swords, but that only worked when he could see the attack coming and prepare for it.

As his blood began running off the blades and onto the arena floor, Will managed to keep the strength to stand and opened his mouth, but no words came out, but something else. A loud, deep, almost roar like noise escaped from his mouth and did a pretty good job at scaring all the birds in the area away, evident by the black mass of birds leaving the trees.

Elesa would come out of her fearful whimpering as she heard this desperate roar. It was a sound she recognized all too well. It was the sound of someone on their last legs with nothing else to lose. But at least the Electricity seemed to be gone, so she'd buck up her courage again and rush out the door, grabbing a pair of her charms from her belt. The first she'd hold out in front of her from her right palm, the charm glowing brown as she holds it tight, "Seal of Ground!! Terrain rise!!" she shouts as she commands the land itself to trip up the soldiers around the skewered man, then taking him, impaled swords and all, into the air a short ways, the swords as well starting to glow with a faint energy as they were removed cleanly from his wounds.

Next to come was the seal in her left hand,"Seal of Plant!! Heal!!" the young girl shouts again as she holds up her left hand and aims this charm at the man, clenching it tight as it glows a soft green and begins to shower the man in rays of healing energy, stopping him from bleeding to death at the very least and making each of his wounds tingle like mint on the tongue. During this process though, a guard would draw his sword and rush the child, "Back to the pits of darkness with you, spawn of witchcraft!!!" the guard shouts as he attempts to kill Elesa with a single downward blow.

Rhi ignored the yelling succubus up in the air, instead focusing on her destination- weaving and bobbing through the trees off the beaten track, heading towards a small, hidden camp. Her speed grinds to a halt as she returns her for to normal, returning to a walking speed as she stands tall once more, though her size is barely 5 feet.

You're home! A voice echoes out of a small tent made of a mixed compound, primarily of mud and stone with a few logs to add support. A small group of fireflies speak to the Raiju girl, their erratic movements a clear sign of their happiness.

"Hey guys!" She says with a smile as the fireflies start to envelop her like the lightning, surrounding her in a blanket of silent, blinking lights. Almost as if the flies were cuddling the girl. "But I did not find the king... nor anyone else important for that matter." Rhi sits down on a log by the fireplace, shooting a small line of lightning from her pointed finger, which cracks and sparks the fire up once more.

"How come?" says the collective hive mind of the fireflies.
"Because either they weren't there or they fled too quickly.." The girls words are met with a pout, puffing her cheeks as she stares at the softly crackling fire.

Rhi rests her head on her hand as she lets out a sigh, scratching her head with the other, which in turn causes sparks to flick off in random directions. "What are we going to do, guys?" There's a genuine concern in her voice, very solemn and upset, clearly unknowing as to what to do about the spreading cancer that is the human race.

Raven looks at lilim, tilting her head at the woman's description of a young girl. Red hair? Charms? She hadn't seen anybody like that! But before she could she heard a commotion coming down below. There were blue and purple electrical Sparks coming from down below, and they were seemingly helping them! She couldn't help but smile before speaking with crow.

"See her anywhere??"

"hmmmm.....wait!! There!!"

Raven looks in the direction crow was talking about and spotted the red haired girl, holding onto an injured man. Though it looked like a human was trying to get the jump on her. Raven dives down behind the woman and in front of the human, before grabbing his arm and tightening her grip on her. Her eyes go wide and she gets this crazed grin across her face before she picks him up by his arm and throws him into the wall. She turns back to the girl momentarily.

"If you want to live I recommend moving!! now!!! can you fly?!"

Will's skin had changed into emerald green scales by the time the girl had gotten to him. He started to like like a lizard man as his claws came back out. As the girl casted her charms, he lunged out at one of the guards, ripping his face off with his claws before snarling and turning around, seeing the guard about to strike down the girl. At the time one of the women landed, a tail grew from his backside and stabbed the guard in the chest before starting to rip the swords from his body that were left.

(maybe it wasn't clear. She threw the guard into the wall, not will )

Lilim followed suit behind Raven, seeing the glow of Elesa's charms at about the time they started rushing that way. Lilim would hover low and call out to Elesa happily, getting up to her just in time for Elesa to put her charms away and have her reunion with her big sister, the two embracing lovingly with Elesa being picked up and held by Lilim and Lilim herself hovering inches off the ground as was her outside norm. Elesa would continue to cling to Lilim, and Lilim would look around at all the fighting, "This is getting out of hand... Elesa, hit me with some Psychic and Light energy, could ya? I'm getting us all out of here." she says determinedly. She'd set Elesa on the ground and move to protect her while Elesa got ready.

Elesa would waist no time in doing as Lilim asked, pulling the charms from her belt and aiming them both at Lilim, "Seal of Light..." she says as one charm started to glow a bright gold and the other a bright purple, "Seal of the Mind..." she says before surging the energy toward Lilim.

Lilim would feel Elesa's energy and absorbs it readily, reaching out telepathically to all of Monster kind in the area and anyone that had any kind of magic know-how and was being treated as a captive or slave, "Everyone, please focus on my voice! In a moment you will be engulfed in my energy! Please don't fight it! I'm getting every captive out of this place!" she calls out to everyone in the area that was fighting and saw them as allies. After a moment Lilim's body would start to glow a soft blue, "Psychic Light!! Wide Spread Zoom!!" she calls out as she gains about a foot in altitude and engulfs the area in the same soft light that was wrapped around her body. All Monster and allied magic user in the area would be safely pulled from their battles and teleported to a new location several miles into the forest, safe from enemy contact... For the moment.

(Ah, thank you for clearing it up. Ima just take that chunk out)
