Elaine looked on in horror as the man ignored her plea instead charging at the beasts with his primitive weapon, she quickly shut her eyes tight expecting the worst possible outcome for him where not even the winged maiden would save him. After some noises of a scuffle she let her self take a peek and was astounded to not only see the brute like man alive but actually fighting the hounds. Lily began moving her finger in the air and Elaine watched stupefied as a mystical glow appeared seemingly out of no where, then she began to reach her hand into the light before pulling out a massive weapon looking thing, it was similar to the tool she had seen the men cut wood with but this one was much more daunting. Then the maiden looked at her claiming to have little expectations of Elaine's skills in combat before assaulting her with wind as she hopped off the railing.<br/><br/>The french woman looked on in annoyance, while she was used to being expected to be weak by men she did not expect a fellow woman to treat her as such as well. Despite her ladylike upbringing she knew she could get "down and dirty" so to speak if need be, while she never truly explored her voice she knew she had power and that a single scream can bring any man to their knees. Perhaps it was time she showed them what she was capable of. "<span style="font-style: italic">Merde</span>" She softly whispered as she gazed at her white gown, 8 whole shillings it costed her and only to be ruined. With a sigh she leaned down and grabbed the hem tightly and in one swoop tore the fabric constricting her ankles until the dress only came at her knees. It was disgustingly improper for her to show so much skin and to disgrace to such an elegant dress but she knew she would not be able to run in it unless it was shortened. At least her stockings where still in tact giving some semblance of dignity.<br/><br/>With that she quickly ran back into the castle from the balcony door, passing by all the pterified stone figures in order to find the stairwell that led to the gardens. She didn't have much of a plan, in fact she was running on purely Adrenalin all her previous fear only amplifying it. As she ran down the hallway something caught her eye and made her pause for a moment, it was a figure wearing armor casing propped against the wall. More for decoration than anything but there was a sword placed on his hands. Elaine had no training whatsoever in swordsmanship, she had no need for it, but she knew she needed something to defend herself with and swiped the sword from the mannequin. It was lighter than she expected and surprisingly sharp and she quietly thanked<span style="font-style: italic">Jeanne d'Arc</span>for the luck she bestowed on her.<br/><br/>Running outside back onto the garden Elaine caught a second glimpse of the mess, some hounds where all ready defeated but more still remained. They all seemed to be focused on the other two and hadn't noticed her appearance yet. She clutched the handle of the sword tighter, holding it out in front of her in defense. Nearby she spotted one that seemed to be out of the pack, he was damaged and had sparks flying out of injuries, perhaps this was one that took the blunt of her previous scream? She knew her abilities trespassed sound as with every yelp she gave off waves of kinetic energy, how that affected her enemies per say she wasn't so sure.<span style="font-style: italic">"Viens ici bête"</span>She shouted gaining it's attention as it began to hobble towards her. It's head jerking side to side in mechanical motions, teeth posed and ready to bite. Wincing she readied her sword and as soon as it came close enough she swung with all her might but the angle was too high and only she only chopped off the pointed ears on it's head and nothing more. Yet, this seemed enough to compromise the beast as it quickly went limp but not entirely dead, it's killer intent was gone and what was left was just a empty shell. "<span style="font-style: italic">Qu'est-ce qui se passe?!</span>" She cried out.
