Ten Thousand Fists

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin followed Willow to the camp, but sprinted to the darkness when someone approached. He couldn't show himself quite yet, as his hunting of furs preceded his previous job as 'King of Thieves'. "Do I need to be introduced, or should I just stay out of sight anyway?"

[Grace.E]

Willow, still in pain, glared at Korbin, he was up to something... she sighed "everyone, this is Korbin, he was my partner back in the day" Nancy recognized him though. "goodness Korbin, you have grown so much, well why don't you help Willow in checking out her bruised leg, I think its more than just bruised" Willow gave her a 'don't you dare look' in which Nancy wisely ignored "its not broken Nancy" she growled, Nancy took her hot wooden spoon and whacked it as hard as she could on the bruised spot, Willow howled in pain. Falcon reared and neighed loudly in warning, Willow gripped her thigh. "you! you..." she gritted her teeth and grumbled to herself. but Nancy turned to Marco "how about you, are you good with Medical?"

"no unfortunatly. i knew someone but i think he perished in the attack." marco said walking over and sitting not far from willow. he carefully drew his umbrela, examining it before pulling out a peice of cloth and starting to clean it while watching Korbin closely. "are you sure you should be so trusting? after all he did shot at you."

[Grace.E]

Willow would of silently agreed if she wasn't preoccupied with her leg, she knew it wasn't broken, she hated broken bones. she wished there was a hot springs nearby.  she ate the stew that was offered. " whats worse, a broken bone or that god forsaken ointment you used on the whip wound"  she leaned forward "it burned and stung...at the same time!" a guy leaned over at Marco "in case you haven't noticed, when Willow is in pain, she gets veeery angry"

[serpington]

"just when i got a promotion......" marco joked with the man. he shook his head when he was offered something to eat and turned back to willow "it doesn't look broken, you should probibly get it splinted just in case, at least so you don't do it further damage."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin joined Marco, and sat down next to her leg. He listened to what Marco said, then got up to get four small planks of wood and three rolls of bandages. He walked back over and fashioned together a splint from the experience he had of having to make one for himself, which was the result of trying to be more acrobatic than Willow. "I don't care how fast you are or how commanding you are, it means nothing if you make noise over something as common as a fractured leg bone."

[serpington]

"so how long are we going to stay here?" marco asked looking into a nearby fire.

[Grace.E]

"only the night, we will leave for Cape Breton tomorrow..." she sighed as she looked at her splint. it wasnt broken but it would do her good. " Buisness must be taken care of once we reach the Capital, Arthas is not a patient man I do say" Nancy nodded eagerly in agreement "I am an old woman and that man sure knows how to get on a gentle old lady's temper... mind your tounge though, he is your King after all"
Willow snorted "he may be King but he is aggressive and arrogant, the worst combination ever" she looked at Marco and Korbin " aaaaand he was my dads best friend so I just call him uncle, he treats me as if I am his daughter though...what a weirdo"

Adrian raised his head and sniffed in the smells around him, a diffucult task, considering he was wearing a gas mask. his comrades shuffled behind him, fingering their weapons in anticipation. fianlly, Adrain poked his head around the broken car to get a view of his targets. one of the men turned breifly before he and his entire squad were engulfed in an inferno spewing from the Pureist weapons, reducing them to ash in a matter of moments. once the flames had died down, the humans spread out around the ruined gas station before declaring it "pure". a few minutes later, a flag showing a DNA double helix engulfed in flames flew high over the convenience store. Adrian grinned before sitting down at the register, which had long since been ripped apart for its contents, and took out the battered radio he held.
"Come in, Pure Command."
" This is Pure Command. whats your status?"
"weve taken over the target with no causualties."
"excellent. hold your position untill further orders."
"yesssir."

"Excuse me but... if he is treating you as his daughter" Leo trailed off  searching for a better choice of words, "He must some kind of kind man, unless their is some sort of malicious purpose. Which I doubt." He then shrugged "Or perhaps he's compensating for something?"

[Grace.E]

"well, he was my fathers best friend after all... so naturally after..he died he took on as my father figure when I was young..er" Willow didn't want to go down that painful memory. this is the first time in years since she had thought of his death. Willow got up and limped over to her saddle bag and pulled out a bed roll and a thick, animal fur blanket. "I'm... going to bed now" her voice had hints of pain, she was having a hard time hiding it. she laid down her bed roll and she laid down under a near by tree, she covered herself with a blanket oh dad...why did you have to go...why didnt you just run..

Nancy sighed "its not wise to bring up the subject of her parents...Mother died at an early age, her father, had the most brutal and heroic death, most Canadians know the story, she was only nine when she lost him"

[tangletail]

Leo's gaze followed Willow as she left then turned back to Nancy. His ear's flicked from a slight annoyance as he let out a soft sigh. "I see... Well sadly I don't share your sympathy for such matters," the feline said dully "He might have died heroically, but brutally may just be an exaggeration in my... adopted standards. This may seem a bit inhuman to say, but frankly... I have a good reason."

[Grace.E]

Nancy gave Leo a sharp look of annoyance "there is nothing more painful then to watch your own father being beaten tortured by the Kings men, knowing that you can't do anything about it!"  she stood up and stared down "show some compassion, Willow's father was the greatest Warrior that ever lived and I respect that!"
"Nancy calm down..." some said, she sat down, red faced and stirring the pot violently.

The air smelled of ashes and oil as the Fire Purifiers turned the gas station into a fortified purist fortress. a small compund had been constructed, in the middle of which an engineer hurridly worked to upgrade and puece together new weapons for the band of purifiers, while his assitants drained the gas stations last remaining gallons of gasoline from its tanks. the convience store had been converted to a barracks, and the roof had a small tarp covering where a purist with binoculars almost always lurked. the fort had been eshtablished, and all was well. they were in for a rude change.

later that night, a trio of men left behind a burning fireball of Purifiers and gas station, slinging their guns over their shoulders. no one crawled out of the wreckage of the station. the only thing remaining in the morning as the flames died down was the concrete hull of the convience store, with a single message scrawled into it with a knife. JUsTiCe HAs BeEN DoNE.

Leo flicked an ear solemnly, obviously he wasn't even moved by the sudden change of emotions. He merely rose a brow for a brief moment, and allowed it to fall back into place. “I see. Well if you would like, I can take over” he offered pointing to the pot and spoon. “But I am not saying this to be cruel. But the concept of a hero died a long time ago for me, as with the terms humane, brutal, and torture.”
