So as they circled like vultures she tried to plot on how to at least make them work for each and every mark they left behind. Her heart beat a bit faster as her hand gripped at the sword within her hand. Scenes from movies played in her mind, as if she were searching for some hint for the stunts they would pull off within them. No formal, or rather no real training at all meant she was in for a world of hurt. Breathing slowly Ve widened her stance knowing getting knocked on her ass wasn't going to be good.<br/><br/>It was then that someone new suddenly POP up next to her. Ve's first reaction was to jerk back and away from him, thinking that Darien was another enemy at first. Then he spoke and surprised the hell out of her. It seemed he had come to help, or rescue her from the two goons before her. The small fact that she had to keep getting rescued kind of annoyed they hell out of Ve. Still for now Ve was thankful, and even if she'd not admit it not facing these dopes alone was almost comforting. It was then she made a mental not to find someone to train her, specially if she was going to stay and no doubt keep having run ins with the Ares doom squad. <br/><br/>When Darien drew the attention his way and again poof away she blinked. He was freaking Nightcrawler or something at least that was the first explanation that came to mind. Shaking her head Ve refocused on what was before her. The two goons had turned to face Darien no doubt thinking she wasn't a threat. Well if they thought she was just going to stand there and let this new guy get his ass kicked after helping her they were very sadly mistaken. Ve may not be trained, but she was wearing steal toed boots.<br/><br/>So with one swift kick Ve slammed her boot into the crotch of the guy that had grabbed her ass. The move was probably a low blow, but in her world you used what you had to survive the fight and sometimes that mean a boot to the head...or crotch. Though she had to admit the squeak that came from the guy as he knelt to ground was rather satisfying. Her leg came up to kick him in the side when he hand came up and grabbed her foot. Tugging her off balance Ve fell to her knees next to him. The opportunity taken as the son of Ares swung his hand out hit her across the face. Ve looked sharply at him as if the strike was nothing at all and pushed to her feet as quickly as possible.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c0/Darien.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Darien Alexander (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=207204.msg10257075#msg10257075)<br/><strong>Cabin:</strong>Hermes<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Sword and Shield class<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>9/23, 9:20 am-ish<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Ve, Aries NPCs, open<br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Fighting in two-handed style<br/><hr/>Once he got closer to the girl, Darien realized he'd seem her around the Hermes cabin. 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.<br/>
