A jungle thick with tress, ground covered in rocks so hard, and grass so soft. Teeming with beauty all over the place, it gave off a false sense of security. Truth be told this place was rather dangerous. Creatures were swarming all over the place. It was not a safe place for people who did not want to fight, so basically priests should beware this spot, when not in the company of say a fighter class or at the very least a mage.
Some people do not follow these beliefs, some people would rather just wonder off because something seemed beautiful. Tairin a lone priest was like this, and well she in fact wondered off into dangerous places a lot, thus finding herself in trouble a lot, of course this is the first time she has ever wondered into an area quite this troublesome.
A shrill scream came from deep in the forest, coming from a girl with tear filled eyes running through said forest, her feet having trouble finding perfect footing on the ground as she did, this of course was Tairin, being in trouble yet again.
Not far behind this girl, was a golem standing at about eight feet tall, it of course was chasing the poor priest as she ran for her life. The golem has a sandstone like color to it, and for being a big guy made out of rocks, it ran faster than you would think. Slowly, but surely it gained on the girl, wanting to tear her limb from limb, for what ever it was she did.
"Leave me alone. Leave me alone LEAVE ME ALONE!" Was the repeated phrase that came from the much smaller than the golem angel. It would appear that she had little to no hope in getting way from this giant, but as a priest it was not like she could fight it, specially since her only offensive spell did basically nothing to the creature when they had first met, only minute ago. As for her staff which was tightly clenched in her hands, well let me ask have you ever seen a priest try close ranged combat? It is not pretty.

The shrill scream brought her out of her meditation with a rude jolt. A dark frown that promised nothing good, formed on her face as she did. She hated loud noises, more so when they so intrusively broke into a silence she'd been enjoying up till now. Her head turned slowly, an unhurried movement, moving towards the shrill voice, feeling the pounding of heavy feet. She almost knew without having to see. She'd recognise those uncultured clumsy steps anywhere. She had after all had her fair share of run ins with the sort. This area was rife with the unintelligent clods.
Rising her frown deepened as she located the culprits easily from her vantage point higher up on the grassy mound. The smallest of the two was running alot faster than she would have given her credit for but then adreneline was an amazing thing. Still she wouldn't be quick enough. The height ratios were just too vastly different. It was simply a matter of when. She however didn't have the patience to find out especially not now they were encroaching into her invisible boundry. They both should pay for the intrusion.
Completely irritated the spell was short, highly undramatic but definately effective. The only indication it had come from her being the crackle of blueish white light that still danced round her fingers now as she lowered them. Her cloak whipped round her from the expelled energy teasing tendrils of her hair, watching silently as the bolts zipped across the short distance connecting with the golem's chest with enough force to first crack and then shatter it into a pile of useless rocks with the two last bolts. Crude. Effective.
And then she set her cold gaze on the girl below her hand moving towards her as she spoke. "Give good reason why I ought not dish out the same for you." Despite the distance and her almost whispered words, she knew they would be heard clearly.

The world have been becoming a blur, as she ran from the giant golem, she could feel it catching up to her. The vibrations under her were becoming more violent, meaning only that her end would be coming soon. She tried desperately to pick up her pace, but it was not good enough, the golem would be catching up to her any moment now, but........
In a brief second, sweat dripped down the priest's face, her heart skipped a beat, and her feet just gave up moving. This happened, because in one instant her pursuer had been turned into nothing but a small pile of rubble. Yellow eyes stared at the golem, then to where she had figured the assistance had come from. A small dawned her face, that was until words came from what she thought was her knight in shining armor.
"Give good reason why I ought not dish out the same for you."
With those words her smile disappeared. She had only wanted to come here for the simple thrill of seeing the beautiful forest, but she had run into a golem, and now her meant to be savior wanted to kill her. Her eyes began to water even more, a few tears falling from them. It seemed like there was no way out of this forest for her.
"I....I guess I do....do not have a good reason, and I am not going to try and convince you I do." She was not cunning enough for such a thing, so with that she hung her head. Letting her tears fall to the ground. Tairin did not even put up a shield to protect her from the oncoming onslaught that was about to end her, she just submitted then waited patiently. There was nothing for the poor priest to do.

A pair of booted feet hit the dirt on the ground soft she had just made it to the scene from where she was in the forest when she first heard the scream. She wasn't going to help at first but then her own heart got the better of her. So she now found herself staring at two people one was a girl on the ground who smelt of tears and a slight tinge of left over fear. Then there was the other girl standing beside the girl it seemed she saved her first but still.
Giving a toothing grin fangs and all Ri let herself move between said two girls look at the one standing she lifted a white eyebrow and let her blue eyes take her in. Then turning to the girl laying down she patted her head softly "so, was you the one screaming like death itself was at your door or the one behind me" she then gently helped the girl to her feet using her tail as an extra limb to hold the girl around the waist to make sure she was stable.
Once she was sure the girl could stand she let her tail slide of wrap back around her own body looking at the two women with dark blue eyes filled with question. '"So....."

At the tears her brow rose, an incredulous expression settling over the previously annoyed expression. She stared at the girl lost for words for a handfull of seconds as she contemplated this new tactic. It was certainly the first she'd seen and she had to admit it was worthy of even her. A very good ploy indeed. She could easily see how this would work and if she wasn't the suspicious type that she was she may well have fallen for it with far more ease than she would like to admit. However being that suspicious type she didn't let her guard down, though she did step back slightly. Just a single step in her limited interactions enough to show that for now, she was no immediate danger. The distance between them however she kept. She wasn't willing to fall prey to a trap.
"Do stop wailing, girl. You have nothing to fear from me if you mean me no harm in return." Then with a small grimace of irritation she continued "Were you not warned about this place-"
The new presence stopped her before she finished, the sound of boots hitting the dirt, her whole form went into a heightened state of alert as she watched this new female. Her head tilted slightly as icy grey eyes took her in, giving away nothing though she was primed to move at a moments notice. Perhaps it 'was' some sort of ambush and this was second half to a cunning ruse. To pretend not to know each other, even better.
Really quite admirable. She thought. At her words however she prickled slightly, an minute, fleeting tick appearing above her right brow. "I assure you," she began straightening almost stiffly prim slightly offended at the very insinuation " 'the one behind' you does not scream."

Tairin, was shocked her have herself picked up into a standing position, but even more shocked to still hold life at the current time. Her eyes went back and forth between the two, unsure of what exactly going on. Was she going to die or not? She was sure that she was going to, so had it now happened yet?
"I, was the one screaming." she said her yellow eyes turning to the girl who had helped her up. It would be easy to tell that said eyes were filled with gratitude. It was nice knowing there was at least someone out there who did not wish death upon the poor priest, course no she did need to address what the other girl had said.
Seconds passed by, while she figured out exactly what it was she could say. She wanted to phrase her words carefully, not wanting to be blown away for one little slip of the tongue, being who she was though this was a little hard.
"Okay Miss killed the golem," with lack of a better name that was all she could call her. "How am I gonna cause you any harm? I am a priest, and not an offensive one, I like to heal people! Two I was warned about this place, but well you see it was just too beautiful to pass up!" Both did seem like they could be a ruse to trick someone, but for anyone who could read tones of voices they would be able to tell she was telling the truth.

Ri look up at the girl behind her "okay so we know it was this one behind me who has screamed and not the other one....you know what this whole one and other one thing is kinda confusing how about some names, mines Ri" truing to the purple haired one behind her back she asked "and what is your name young priest"
Her ears twitched softly as she waited keeping her senses open just in case something jumped out on them, to be told the truth though Ri wasn't much for fight she would rather just nap all day but hey, who was she to not help such a cute girl. Will waiting for the shorter girl to answer she looked back at the one who seemed ready to jump at any given moment "you, whats your name as well"
She would have said more but alas Ri isn't much for speaking either, all she really wanted was for the peace to be keep. Thats why she stood between the two girls to make sure neither got hurt. She smiled a little when she heard the other girl talk about being a healer and not a fighter and getting lost in the beauty of the forest.

'Miss killed the golem?!' if she had spoken that thought out loud it would have been spluttered. It seemed today was a day for being referred to in the most ridiculous ways. As for being of no harm well that was something only she could assure herself of by and by. It wouldn't be the first time something that seemed harmless turned out to be dangerous. At the priest's suggestion that she was harrmless Heaven simply looked pointedly at the new girl.
"Alone no, but then who knows how many others you have." She hated to admit however that at this point there was nothing duplicitous in the girl's tone of voice and it made no sense to suspect her further but she spoke with her eyes more on the one who had introduced herself as Ri. This one she knew even less what to make of her. And she was female no mistake about it.
In answer to Ri's question her answer was simply given "If it would mean being properly addressed then call me Heaven." There was an slight inclination of her head in greeting her gaze never once letting go of them both. In as much as they weren't a percieved threat she wanted still to keep them within sight.

Ri smiled gently at the girl "Heaven, so would that make you an angel then..if so why try to bring harm to the little one but you have not said you where an angel so i guess your not to bad...it would be cool to see one." Ri yawned a little she was being to feel lazy again her tail swished softly but she did not move not until she was sure both girls where in the safe zone.
She was about to say more when she felt the wind blow through the forest growling she turned about and sniffed the air again. Gently she picked up the purple haired girl who's name had yet to be brought forth. Moving she placed her beside Heaven and said quietly "do you smell that, something is coming are way...and its coming fast"
Not two seconds after she said that something with a big bulky body and fur jumped out of the trees at them thinking quick Ri grabbed Heaven's shoulder and jumped to the side once her feet touched the ground she set both girls down, had already out in front of her the tattoo's on her arms glowing red.
"Now, now no need to be so mean" she said to the creature "its not like i was in your hunting ground or anything" a flash of light and in her hand was a katana, it was funny though because the blade was reversed. It was black as well with one big blue lighting blot running down the side.
"So...do you really want to start this fight" she lifted the sword to lay across her shoulder feet spread, a smirk on her face "because i have a feeling you well beat the life out of me, but i am kinda of busy right now, do you not see the two lovely ladies i am trying to keep from fighting" the furry creature let out a ear shattering howl and charged.
Ri sighed rubbing one of her ears softly "i guess that means yes" dodging a swipe at her head she rolled around and smiled at the furry thing clapping her hands "come on boy that's a good doggy...hmmm i wonder if your a dog or a cat...oh well never mind" she rolled out of the way once more. Sliding under the creature smiling up at it, she felt its breath on her face and felt its claw go into her leg.
Smirking she said "wow i guess you got me" she flipped her blade up with a quick move, its head feel off fallowed by the rest of its body being chopped to bits. It slowly faded leaving nothing behind. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out a healing potion and rubbed it on her leg, before standing up.
Walking back over to the girls she was flipping her blade in the air catching it as it fell. Once she was back between the two it flashed away once more leaving nothing behind. "Good thing for me it wasn't that high level of a creature huh, or else it would have really gotten me huh" she smiled at the two her blue eyes looking at them with a silly grin.
