<br/>
Tifa grew more and more alarmed as the howls of the wolves come closer and closer, seeming somewhat frightened almost by their closing in.  Perhaps it made a degree of sense, given she seemed to carry no weapons.  Fists and feet were excellent if you knew how to use them, but they were all to easy to damage against teeth and claws...<br/>
<br/>
Still, she almost perked up when she saw the manikins floating ahead of them, drifting back and forth in front of the gate, and cracked her knuckles with a businesslike expression on her face.  "Lets break through them, the gate's not far after all."  There were only two manikins as well, so technically the trio had a numbers advantage in that fight, but without necessarily knowing the capabilities of these manikins...<br/>
<br/>
Then again, if the wolves found them, they could end up drawing the attention of the things anyways, which would be something of a worst-case scenario...</div>

Elayne almost didn't hear the last question, and she was loathe to pull away to reply, but she did eventually, leaving her fingers to continue pumping in and out of Zwei as she spoke.  "I-I've never noticed such Mistress, but it's hard to say...  Sometimes it does seem like things are warped, but I've never seen it happening..."  Quickly she bent her head back to her task as soon as she was done speaking, determined to bring the lady knight off, unwilling to let progress be lost while she answered questions...</div>

<br/>
From so high up, Rapid fire was less than perfectly accurate.  But the storm of fire Thrice laid down was at least able to do some damage to the multitude below, scattering chips of stone and crystal across the valley floor in equal measure.  He struck no telling hits with this barrage, but the girl below him was firing with considerably greater accuracy, and one of the manikins closing with her went down as Trhice watched, crystal head blown into a multitude of tiny pieces.  <br/>
<br/>
Now the enemy's forces were split, as a trio of manikins were bounding up the side of the mountain towards Thrice while the remaining pair were closing on the pink-haired girl.  Their master on the other hand was nowhere to be seen, possibly having retreated after that wound.  <br/>
<br/>
Given that he likely would have proven a challenge, that was probably for the better, as even now Thrice realized he was coming under fire.  Two of the Manikins charging up the slope had gunblades of some sort, inaccurate things, but threatening nonetheless as they were able to fire at a fairly decent rate, and their shots seemed powerful judging by the holes that were being blasted in the rock around him.</div>

"Oh very well then..."<br/>
<br/>
The voice comes from in front of Michael as he finishes shouting to the sky.  The woman -for indeed it is a woman's voice- is white haired, and her face is marked by crimson tattoos.  A long robe flows down, and a pair of black feathered wings seem to sprout from her back.  "I was mostly curious as to your nature...  You don't really seem like anyone normally found in these lands..."</div>
