Dragonic Touch (Lycan Only)

"Well know shall we see?" He twists his body round, in such a way as to lift Kiyoshi and slam him back to the ground.

Kiyoshi faintly grinned as he did and grunted at the impact. The flat of his back seemed to stop it and he snapped his hand out, Phoenix pausing and coughing slightly, leaning forward to set her hands to the ground as several snaps issued.

A shadow appeared above Kiyoshi's head as Lycans foot comes crashing down. Elathon turns away as he anticipates what will happen next.

Kiyoshi glanced above, slightly clenching his jaw. His head fell back as a crunch issued, ice shattering below his foot as he slipped back, in his human form again. He muttered then and held his hand out, Phoenix having started to move away but she herself vanished, appearing in Kiyoshi's hold, his hand tight around her throat. He knew Lycan would still come if he wanted, so he clenched, a strong edged force against Elathon's mind as he faintly attempted to pass Phoenix's thoughts to him.

Elathon's head dropped, "how much of a fool do you think I am?" In his mind he grappled with the force, returning it toward Kiyoshi, and with it the thoughts of every single creature and plant in miles of the forest. The effect would be like a psychic scream. Lycan returns to his human form as well, and stoops down to pick something off the floor.

Kiyoshi growled and shut off his mind with quick ease. A twitch of his arm and Phoenix froze before her head fell limply over his fist. The front of her top turning damp with her own blood before he turned the thoughts Elathon sent him to her.

It was at this point that Lycan came from behind swinging his double handed broadsword in a wide arc at Kiyoshi's neck. Elathon cuts the connection as soon as Kiyoshi blocked it, before darting forward.

Kiyoshi growled as his attempt was lost and he glanced at Lycan a half second late. He started to jerk around, just to avoid it slightly and slip Phoenix into part of the broadswords range.

Something in Lycan's mind has obviously changed, because rather then carrying on the swing as he would have done before, he stops it. The blade ends up less than an inch from Phoenix. He then deftly thrusts it at Kiyoshi, avoiding Phoenix.

Kiyoshi paused himself in confusion as he did, his eyes narrowing then twitched as the blade met his stomach. A hiss at him and he threw the blade to the side, spraying blood across the ground. He slapped his hand across the air, whips of energy trailing from his fingers in black rushes at Lycan's face as he threw Phoenix at him after them.

Lycan laughs, darting out of the way of the energy and Phoenix, dashing forward to deliver his elbow into Kiyoshi's gut.

Kiyoshi growled and caught his elbow, smirking then jerked his arms at an angle, in such a way that the strength would either break his shoulder and arm or pull it out of its socket. Phoenix grimaced as she rolled, coughing and pulling her upper body up and standing, the bones in her shoulder grinding and the broken ribs in her chest clenching.

Lycan laughs flipping so his arm remains intact, grabbing Kiyoshi's wrist in mid flight, he uses his momentum to twist him off his feet and throw him.

Kiyoshi growled as he did and shifted his feet as he was thrown. Rolling and jumping up as he raised his hands up. Three massive snakes appearing, one lunging at Lycan and the other at Elathon wherever it smelled him. The third shifted around Kiyoshi, hissing sharply.

Lycan laughed running, ducked under the snake towards Kiyoshi, he was starting to enjoy him self. With a mighty leap he aims a punch, not caring if he hits snake or man. Elathon however was no where to be seen. The snake would be able to smell him, but before it could react he came bursting out of the ground, behind Kiyoshi, arms spread wide, against the sun he looked like the cross for Kiyoshi's crucifixion.

Kiyoshi growled and glanced around at them both, hissing, the snake curled around him like a living shield, shrieking at Lycan's punch, a pocket opening between its tail and stomach to Kiyoshi.

Lycan grins, thrusting a taloned hand in, if it hits it would rip into Kiyoshi's gut. Elathon however simply lands on top of the snake, covering it's eyes with a web of vines and creepers. Watching for the other two snakes as he does.

Kiyoshi growled as he moved his hand in the way, letting it be nearly destroyed before he leaped out through an opening the snake made. Seeming to tackle Lycan chest first then yelled, Phoenix's hand through the back of his shoulder, letting blood flow from the tips of her fingers heavily. The snake reared and twisted around a sits sight vanished, attempting to crush Elathon.

Elathon kicked of the snakes back landing heavily and rolling away. Lycan laughed as he saw what had become of Kiyoshi, he reached out, and with his clawed hand grasped his head.

Kiyoshi growled at Lycan's grip, though seemed to dismiss it as he glanced back to Phoenix who carried a blank mask over her blood sprayed face. The snakes seemed to vanish after a moment in bursts of black dirt and Kiyoshi muttered under his breath before chuckling.

"So," Lycan said yanking Kiyoshi's head back, "if you had any apologies to make, anything to settle, any regrets. It's to late." He slams the hand holding Kiyoshi's head into a fist, it would be impossible dodge, and would kill him instantly.

Elathon stood up a little away, just in time to see Kiyoshi's demise.

Kiyoshi grinned as Lycan spoke before he made his blow. Phoenix pulling back to let the body slump to the forest floor and she coughed once, putting her clean hand over her mouth and nose with a hoarse sigh.

Elathon runs up, grimacing unseen at Phoenix's condition, almost hopelessly he asks "are you ok?" While Lycan shrugs, grabbing the body and dragging it out of the clearing.

Phoenix briefly winced as she pulled her vision back, glancing after Lycan and the body before she looked to Elathon. She opened her mouth then closed it, glancing down at the front of her once black shirt, now a dark crimson. She shrugged wordlessly, keeping her legs stiff.

Elathon blinks slowly, trying to decide what to do. In the end he gently cups her chin, and lifts her head, "look at me. Don't worry it'll be ok, talk when you can, but don't force it." He glances over her shoulder.

Lycan meanwhile dumps the body on a rock, "let the scavengers have you. I shall not feast on such a worthy opponent." He then turns and walks away.
