She was part of the cabin of misfit toys all right which of course meant the story was playing out just as it should with his intervention. That was the scary thing about myth and legend, the archetypes that repeated over time, they had a way of playing themselves out with or without your cooperation. Realizing she was a cabin mate, he didn't quite feel so much like a sucker and he flashed her a smile as he caught her eye over the shoulders of their opponents which turned into a grimace as she let loose with a kick to the groin. Girl was making it personal.<br/><br/>Intent on hitting his target before he blinked away, the son of Aries facing Darien let loose with a couple of powerful swings, no doubt thinking Darien's lack of shield was going to be his undoing. It was true, if one of those swings hit him, he wouldn't be getting up again but managing to hit Darien was the trick. He parried one blow and simply dodged the other, rolling beneath it then coming up into a swing of his short sword. his foe blocked it easily with his shield of course but was somewhat more surprised by the dirk that snuck in under his arm and bit into his armor.<br/><br/>"Oops! Where did that come from?" Darien exclaimed, seeing the surprised look on his opponent's face and then blinked back a couple feet, easily outpacing the lunge that followed, and glancing ovr toward the girl to see how she was faring.</div></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9d/Vera2.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Vera Maxwell (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10190516#msg10190516)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Hermes due to being Unclaimed<br/><strong>Location:</strong>shield and sword training<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>9/23 9:20amish after breakfast<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>2 Aries goon NPC, Darien incoming<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Wearing (http://www.polyvore.com/vera_training/set?id=128730806),<br/><br/>Ve scrambled to her feet as the guy in front of her did the same. The back handed swing he had taken against her left her lip busted and bleeding freely down her chin. Ve wiped the blood with her finger nodded, something inside of her feeling as if it were raging. But it didn't feel like anger, it wasn't something so simply explained. It felt like she was burning up or...something, it didn't make sense but at the moment Ve welcomed it.<br/><br/><strong>"What the fu...'</strong>the guy in front of her caught his breath and looked at her before moving forward again. Ve swung the sword in front of her, but it was easily deflected by the bracers he wore, his free hand coming up fist at the ready before making contact with her face once more. The shock rumbled through her and caused her to stumble backwards. But still Ve blinked and laughed as if it hadn't accomplished anything. Of course this only pissed goon boy off, a growl coming from him as he charged suddenly.<br/><br/>Ve gasped and instinctively brought her foot up to connect with his chest. The wince in his face clearly gave away the fact that she had caused some sort of harm, but that didn't stop him from grabbing hold of her boot and dragging her to the ground. The wind left Ve's lungs for a moment as the dust from the earth below billowed up around her as she heard the voice of her would be partner taunting his opponent. Looking up Ve flipped off the one that had her left boot, his hand reaching as if to grab her by the shirt. But as he leaned down Ve brought her right boot up and swiftly gave him a boot to the head.<br/>
