Firesong smirked as she streaked across the skies above Rhydin. The flames surrounding her glorying as they dispersed the darkness. The trail of red and yellow sparks streaming behind her mingled with droplets of blood that were steadily dripping from the injuries she had sustained in this latest encounter with the Slavers.

The night had begun simply enough with her coming to the Inn to protect her charge Icer and at last introduce her wife to the ice dragon. She had no intentions of fighting this night. The Bodyguard had learned all she needed to know to report back to her wife the night before. Then the female Kristia had entered armed to the teeth, literally, and looking to finish what had been started the night before.

She was happy to blast the female through the doors and out into the alley with balls of fire that she would follow with preternatural speed in a vortex of flames.

The two had barely gotten started this time when a crowd had gathered to watch. Fire was concentrating on her opponent but could feel the eyes directed toward her as if they expected her to take unfair advantage of this Slaver. It would seem perhaps those gathered approved of Slaving.

As though Slavers were not the ones that need be exterminated by any means possible. Fire was not the one to do the actual ?terminations? of slavers. She never had been. She specialized in assassinating cheating males for women.

She was the one that went out and determined the situation, got a feel for how they fought, and who was where when, and who they were talking to and about what. The connections they made both above and underground were sometimes difficult to determine unless you found a way in.

Firesong had always played that role although when asked she gave the same answer. She was a destroyer and a dispenser of Justice and was here for them. In this alley she took note of all the players and where they stood. How they reacted to her actions and who was standing next to who. Shamelessly she read each mind that was not shielded from her as she attempted to avoid the attacks by Kristia while delivering a couple of her own in return.

The whip bit viciously into her hand as the tail end curled up her wrist as she barely saved the cheek of her face from the quicksilver speed of the woman?s weapons. She was a formidable opponent and she had to turn all her attention toward the battle once more as she jerked in an attempt to pull the woman off balance.

As Tara and the male Vampire Lord appeared she recognized Tara from years past and knew her for who and what she was and had been. Her wife would be pleased to know she was still around or displeased depending on her mood at the time she reported back and that depended upon whether or not she survived this fight.

The male perhaps she would investigate further at another time. His shielding was more complex than any she had come across before and at the moment in the middle of what could in the blink of an eye turn into overwhelming odds was not the time for any but the briefest of brushes against it.


As she was running all the information through her mind and noting the steadily increasing odds against herself the Slaver used the momentum from her jerk to gouge at her eye with a sharpened spoon. Both hands went up to grab the woman?s wrists in a protective measure and if she hadn?t been gifted by Vampiric speed she would have lost her eye.

As it was the skin peeled back from beneath the socket and blood poured down her cheek a blood curdling scream that could have been heard clear to the harbor was let free at the attempt to half blind her for the rest of her undead life.

Fire had to get to high ground. There were few in the alley that could match that feat she could tell so wrenching free from Kristia?s attack she leapt for the rooftop. Right behind her was the female known as Tara. The shock of Soul Light?s blade being viciously thrust into her gut had both hands wrapping around the woman?s wrists instinctively.

Tara spoke to her threatening her with things that gave Fire cause to laugh had the supernatural abilities of the blade not triggered the lifebond to her wife. What one saw so did the other. What one felt so did the other. What one heard so did the other. What one knew so did the other. The reports were an intimacy that they shared more than an actual ?reporting back?.

Such was their bond and had been for centuries untold as they walked their lives? path together. Partners in all ways. Much moreso than mere mortals could ever hope to understand.

Silvery hair whipped into a frenzy around her slender frame as the two stood facing each other upon the roof top as flames licked hungrily yet were under control because no longer was Fire the one controlling herself. Talisa had come in answer to the unprovoked attack by Tara upon her wife.

The voice that came from Fire no longer was the Vampiress Mage Adept?s voice it was Talisa?s, the NyteStalker, even the words were hers. ?Once a slut always a slut return the blade it does not belong to you.? As the words were uttered, although the impaled woman was unaware of it, the male Vampire Lord joined the two woman locked together by the blade upon the peak of the roof to support his wife.

Transfixed, and in total control of Talisa, Fire stood with her hands around Tara?s wrists, blade burning cold within her insides as it sought to devour a soul and was denied. Fire hadn?t possessed a soul in centuries and technically wasn?t made of flesh either unless she wished to be like she had chosen to be for this particular job.

Soul Light?s blade would have driven a sane person slowly demented and eventually completely destroyed them. Fire was never stable to begin with and only Talisa could control her at the best of times so having stabbed the only thing in the world that mattered to her, without direct provocation on Fire?s part against Tara herself, with it Tara had served only to bring down the wrath of Talisa upon her head.

Talisa wouldn?t bother with Kristia as her wife had attacked her first the previous night and so she left Fire to fend for herself with that fight as was her way anytime Fire started a fight. But this was another matter entirely. Her wife had not attacked Tara and she had been stabbed with a supernatural blade by her.

Tara had also threatened her wife with being enslaved and used and all of those other things that those involved with and that are around slavery enjoy making threats of having done to a person but Nytestalker takes those things very personally when it comes to her wife and through their lifebond had heard each word.
