Ten Thousand Fists

[tangletail]

Leo gave a quick tug on the horse's reigns to keep it steady as he squinted his eyes to get a better look at the distant man. It took a bit for him to finally identify Willow, which her current state quickly alarmed him. He was about to give chase, till he hesitated for a moment and glanced in the direction the hooded man was going, and down to a mess of rope that was attached to the side of saddle. Glancing back up and down he pulled the reigns to angle the horse, before charging off at full speed to pull ahead.

two grey hooded men attacked with sleeping darts, each one landed in Korbin and Leo's neck. the white hooded man steered Falcon father up the mountain. the mare wheezed and snorted in protest, usually she would buck off the foreign rider but her mistress was unconscious and that worried Falcon. she whinnied really loudly, as a call for help. the new rider only kicked her harder in the side, which was an outrage! Willow talked to her not kicked her!

marco, finaly through the group of soldiers he had been caught up with, charged after the hooded man, determined to free willow he rode perpousfully with his lance raised and aimed at the back of the mans head in a way that it should miss willow completely.....he hoped.....

[tangletail]

The feline felt something thud against his neck and quickly by reflex, pulled a hand up to grab it and pulled it out. He held it in front of him examining it slowly before cursing his luck as his vision began to blur along with his body turning heavy. Eventually he lost feeling in most of his body and slumped over to the side falling off the horse and tumbling against the ground at high speed. He bounced up occassionally like a little rag doll before landing face first into the dirt.

Lieing there for a bit breathing heavily he barely managed to prop himself up to glance up at the two, then collapsed with the dart still in his hand.

Korbin almost fell off the side of his horse when the dart hit his neck. However, he was able to recover and pull the dart out so it would not cause more damage by bouncing around. When he felt exhaustion set in, he raised the reins and put his arms and head through it and gripped onto the horse's neck before making a valiant effort to stay awake. He couldn't stay awake long enough to outlast the drug, but the reins kept him on the horse as he went to sleep.

[Grace.E]

the men in grey took hold of Korbin and Leo, tied them up and put them on their horses and followed the man in white robes.


Willow woke up in a bed...she was running a fever and she was in a strange place. she tried to sit up but she was too sick to move just yet. wrapped in fur blankets she heard the sounds of horses and banging metal, voice and different smells that were unrecognizable. "Mistress Willow" Nancy spoke, Willow turned her head "w-w-where am I?"
"somewhere safe...I promise" she said before Willow fell unconscious.

[tangletail]

Leo awoken with a quick jerk. He was trying to figure out where he was as he pushed himself up off his back, grunting in pain from his soreness. He noticed he still had the dart grasped in his hand and quickly pocketed it for later use.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin had awakened in the same manner, but kept the appearance of still being asleep. He glanced up for a short moment to see that he was tied up, and sitting on the ground just a short distance from Leo. "So I wasn't the only one who chased after her, huh. Did the dart get you too?"

[tangletail]

"No, I am just a paying customer in this fine Inn," Leo replied with an exaggerated amount of sarcasm as he attempted to stretch. "Tied again... fun. Let's hope I don't lose something else like my tail... this time around" He sighed as he wiggled around to get some play room for his hand. He extended the claws in his right hand and stretched the rope by pulling the other. He began rasping his claws against the threads of the bonds. "I am surprised you have yet attempted anything yet"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin shrugged, looking around before standing up on his feet despite having bound arms. "Because we're probably not going to survive a second round against whoever drugged us. I'm a bit surprised they didn't try to tie us to a pole or chair, but then again, they were probably with the hooded guy. If my observation skills are still intact, that means that we've been captured by the Canadian army or at least their allies. I saw the hooded man go through a group of canadians, grab Willow, then dash back through without even getting a second glance from the ground troops. Should I go into more detail, or is that alone too much for you to understand?"

[tangletail]

Leo's ear flicked at the sound of a sharp snap, followed by the rope falling from him "I see.... please do continue. I rather not remain ignorant of our current... host". He raised his arms up high into a stretch, before standing. He walked closer to Korbin and raked his claws across the rope, tearing it apart. He noticed he was off balanced slightly and sat back down to remove the mechanical portion of his tail and adjust the bearings. "I also should assume it's currently a no hurry situation?"

[Grace.E]

Willow turned and moaned in her feverish sleep. in her weakened state she had horrible nightmares, blood, death, rage. Nancy rushed out of the tent to the healer "willow is having a fever, she can't awake, she is having nightmares"  the healer rushed in and checked up on Willow. "Get her companions" two men rushed out of the tent and ran to where Korbin and Leo were tied up. "if you are her loyal companions, we are here by ordered to release you, Willow is suffering" a tortured, female scream seemed to capture everyone's attention.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Yes, I am her lo-" He had already left the tent at the start of the scream, making his way right over to Willow's side, then turning to Nancy. "Is there anything I can do to help?!" His breathing sounded labored, but he did not make any exaggerated head or neck movements.

[Grace.E]

"we are doing the best we can, but she having an allergic reaction to the sleeping potion!" Willow was now compulsively shaking. she opened her eyes, hazy, glazed and bloodshot, seeing Korbin she gripped onto his arms "I'm scared" she sobbed. the doctor had to rip Willow away from Korbin "willow, listen to me, your safe, everything is alright!"
"NOOOO!" Willow screamed as others had to hold her down, she was trying to make an escape. Willow was living in a nightmare that wouldn't go away. "KORBIN! HELP ME!"
"That *******" the doctor cried. the man in white came in, though he was wearing something different. the doctor punched him, sending stumbling back "you fool! do you realize that Willow is deathly allergic to the main ingredient you put into this crap!"
"The Lezia flower?" he questioned, the doctor, pulled out a syringe " Willow, this should help" he jabbed it into her arm, she was starting to calm down, the she sat there, staring at her violently shaking hands. though her eyes were now clear, not as blood shot. "you blundering fool, in case you didn't notice, she had a deathly fever of 106, she would of died in the next two minutes if the doctor not had the treatment" Nancy hissed. Willow was now a ghost pale, but stable.

[tangletail]

Leo left the tent, following after Korbin. He could only scratch his head as he kept away from the commotion to stay out of the way.  "Korbin, I know this seems like a terrible time. But it may be best to keep your distance and allow the doctor to keep watch over her."
