*he smiles like a true predator*

It's no fun without the struggle </>

*Can take no more, and jerks away disgusted.*

You're sick!

Be that as it may, little mage, are you coming freely or do I have to kill all your friends first?

Oh no you don't Lumien, you, Syian and thingy stand back you are in no state to stand up to him I am,

*Whispers*

Look after Syian

*Looks at Nick but not in his eyes*

How about a bit of variety

*refuses to leave Lumien's side but looks over at Shaylar*

Why don't you go back to play in the creche little girl?

*Unsheaths her Schimiter and slices it across Nicks chest Cutting through the bell straps causing them to fall at his feet a tornado forms and whips the bells into the pool*

I'm not as young as I look

*Studies Nick*

Did you capture my father, Thomas Kareen, during the war 100 years ago

Those were my best bells

*his features contort with rage as he swings his flaming sword up in a seemingly random pattern ending by piercing Shaylar's thigh*

*Unarmed, gets clear before the battle starts.*

*smiles slightly*

Thomas...put up quite a fight I remember...

Until he killed himself so he wouldn't have to serve you

*Realises with horror, that is wasn't her power he wanted*

So you wanted to make a woman of me, not get me to join you when you lay seige to my home,

*Blows a warm salty wind over the wound drying the blood*

Of course...why else would I desire you

*his sword moves again, faster than the eye can see as she is tending to her other wound. This time the flames burn the flesh as well as it piercing her ribs*

Shaylar!

Ouch,

brings up the schimitar and cuts the sword off at the hilt,

Why don't we settle this someother way we can spend days fighting with swords and spells or is that what you like, hmm I've heard about men like you can only get satisfaction by hurting women, can't be normal like other men, can't copulate like normal men so you have to take your frustrations out some other way

*Laughs*

Can't satisfiy your women, you know I've got a book that can help you with that

*Silently casts a protection spell, shielding her from Nick's blows*

*the flaming sword regrows itself instantly*

You are right; I need not tarry here with the likes of you

*he moves backwards to Lumien and sweeps her into his arms*

*Lumien screams and struggles against Nick, kicking, punching, scratching, whatever she needed to do to get free. Overhead, a tiny dot in the sky is growing bigger, and becoming more hawk-like.*

*Using the flat side of the sword she kncoks Nick's legs out from under him, causing him to drop Lumien, wrapping Syian, Kashiwhatever and Lumien in Air bubbles and dropping them in the pool*

Now it's just you and me, come and take me, if you can that is

*brings his flaming sword up above his head before plunging it deep into the ground in front of his, the ground begins to shake violently and fire drops from the sky he moves forward barehanded and maintains eye contact with Shaylar*

*Also dropping from the sky is Chandra. She digs her talons deeply into the back of Nick's neck, hitting bone in places.*

I'm Impressed but I got what I came for, shame you didn't, got to go

*Runs and leaps in the water, brings the others towards her and they're all in one big air bubble*

He's nuts, start walking, can you communicate telepathically with Chandra, Lumien?
