<strong>Name:</strong>Ariel Al'kiir (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=149383.msg6780446#msg6780446)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Gehenna's, table off to the side of the bar<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Zharkov's thugs<br/><hr/><br/>An audible sigh was all that was heard from within the intensely blinding light.  Ariel wasn't in her element, but really was a bit of justifiable fear too much to ask for.  Quiet movement, perhaps the flap of a wing, and the angel was behind the "leader".  Ariel didn't like attacking someone from behind, but since moving to Middle City, she'd learned to stomach quite a bit of what she didn't like.  The thugs were human, which meant non-lethal force, but quite a bit of pain could be inflicted on the human body.  They needed to remember this, besides she was providing them with a helpful education.  Never turn your back on an enemy; even if they're an angel.<br/><br/>A quick kick to the back of the man's knee followed by a skull cracking punch to his temporal lobe put him down without a fight.  The light originating from her worked as well as any shadow.  Hands full with the boyfriend, the other two men never saw what happened to their leader, only heard the grunt escape from his lips and his limp body hit the store room's floor.  The flap of wings and another sound of a body collapsing against the floor filled the room before the last thug realized he was alone and quickly pulled the elven boyfriend's beaten body in front of himself as a human shield.<br/><br/>A vice-like grip clasped around the thug's wrist.  In the next moment the boyfriend was free and the final thug found himself sailing head over feet through the door they'd all stepped through only minutes before.<br/><br/><strong>"While you're out there, tell your boss I'd like a word with him,"</strong>Ariel's voice followed the thug into the bar proper.<br/><br/>Likely not the smartest thing she could've done, especially deep within demon territory and without an ally to her name, but she was sick and tired of the status quo of Middle City and more than eager to cause some waves.  Besides, even the demons were likely ready to be rid of someone like Zharkov.<br/><br/>
