Crystals of Slimtla

[Dr. Strange]

Her fingers curled around his waist, securing herself to him. "Ready." She whispered, burying her face into his fur and breathing in his scent as her heart beat faster. No one had been as close as she had allowed Flames to become.

[flames]

Flames made sure that Sam was secured to him, his mind a jumble of thoughts during the last moments before he ran with her. Part of him was asking why he had gotten so close to someone when he would only end up hurting her. A segment of him was unsure of what lay ahead as another part of him wished for this new, strange emotion to never leave him...The thoughts vanished as Ki flowed through his system and he took off.
It was unlike anything that be called 'running'. Flames was floating slightly above the ground, his limbs blurring as he left multiple afterimages behind. A great blast of wind was felt as they flew through the air, the edges of the visible world falling apart into a smeared painting of colour. Flames feet occasionally impacted the ground, propelling them foward once more. Nobody could tell where they were headed, but to say that Flames was taking the long route would no doubt be correct. The exhileration seemed to last an eternity as it peaked in the last split second before everything suddenly sharpened back into focus and they appeared in front of the tavern of the previous town...

[Dr. Strange]

When they stopped, she opened her eyes and leaned back; a gigantic smile plastered across her face. "That was cool. Can we do it again sometime?" She asked, leaning up to lick the side of his muzzle teasingly once more as fire seemed to leap from her to him at the touch. "Like it?" She teased, pulling back.

[flames]

Flames just nodded twice, a familiar colour becoming apparent on his features once more. "We should rest here for a bit and retrieve more infomation about the arena." Flames said normally, before giving Sam a little wink and saying: "Besides, you look like you could do with a good back massage to release some of that leftover stress."

[Dr. Strange]

Samantha grinned. "You sure its not because you just want to touch me?" She teased, licking his muzzle again. The fire leaped once more, burning hotter. "Either way, sure, why not?" Her fingers brushed where he was blushing and she stroked his cheek, laughing softly.

[Sareen]

The griffins were let from their cage and came leaping at her, she readied her sword, swinging it and out of Sheer luck, managing to slit ones throat, she got covered it some of its bluish blood (made the colour up) and it feel motionlessly to her feet, but she was to busy looking at the fallen on in front of her seeming as it was way to easy to kill one, that she had forgotten their was another griffin. She Heard a loud blood curling screech, she looked up quick only to be swiped round the face and pinned to the floor by the Black and white remaining Griffin, Her sword was Just out of reach so she had no way of damaging it. She struggled hard to try break free from its strong scaly footed grasp but failed to do so so she kicked it hard in the stomach with both her hind legs and managed to make it jump enough to roll out from under it. Quickly stumbling to her feet and grabbing her sword, holding it at the ready as blood ran from the left side of her face which she was slashed, and also had blood stained arms where the griffin had dug its un-clipped talons into her.

"I can assure you that my offer is merely a gesture of kindness and that, as attractive as you are, I would never do such a thing...yet..." Flames replied with an affectionate smile as he stroked her softly and walked alongside her to the tavern door. There were battle plans to form, infomation to harvest, practice to execute and many other things that had to be done...but they could all wait...

[Sareen]

After her battle with the griffins she limps back to that training centre of the arena, her cheek bleeding from a the claw marks, her stomach and arms also bleeding from the same thing, her fur covered in Blue griffin blood, but more of her own crimson blood. Dropping off her weapons she limps over to the tavern clenching her wounded stomach because of  having a talon go quite far into her and trying to stumble up to her room.

[flames]

Flames noticed the wounded fur and quickly turned to Sam: "I'll just be a moment, okay?" before offering his hand to the fur, silently asking her if she would like assistance. He knew those eyes, as they had caught his gaze when he had last been here. She seemed to be a fighter and probably knew a great deal about the arena, although Flames was concentrating more on her wounded stomach then on who she was.

[Sareen]

Looks at the fur who is offering his paw, her two toned eyes scanning him slightly before gritting her teeth and clenching her stomach more, as she can feel the talon that got left in her digging into her stomach as she breathed.

[flames]

Flames didn't say a word, simply supporting her and half-carrying her to where the rooms were, concern present in his features.

[Sareen]

feels really woozy from blood lose and tries her hardest not to fate as she looks from her room number, whilst the fur was helping her.

[flames]

Flames noticed where her gaze was and opened the door to her room. He placed her down gently on her bed, remembering that he had promised not to take too long. She seemed to be losing a lot of blood too, which gave him all the more reason to hurry. Thankfully he was still full of energy, which he probably had Sam to thank for, and this was shown as he vanished, reappearing a few seconds later with a good supply of medical equipment. Medicine and health wasn't his forte, but he knew a few tricks. He poured positive Ki into the wound, acting as a rather unusual but pleasant painkiller. He then got to work, his fingers accurate in their movements despite his gloves. He removed the talon swiftly but in such a manner as not to damage her stomach further. The wound was disinfected and sealed off to heal as Flames made a last few adjustments, ensuring that the fur would have a rapid and relatively painless recovery. He increased the amount of Iron in her blood enough to allow her to regain her lost blood, but not so much that it caused any problems for the body, besides occasional minor pains.
The positive Ki faded and Flames cleaned up, ready to head out again...

[Sareen]

still clenching her stomach she looked up at the fur who had just helped her
"Thanks..."
she said weakly before falling back on to her bed and just laying there staring at the ceiling murmuring to herself
"Next fight...Fight against the Grand Champion...After taking the 4 year training course the arena makes you take before this point is finally here..."
sighs heavily and then just keeps staring at the ceiling boredly

[flames]

Flames couldn't help but hear her words as he departed, shutting the door quietly behind him as he went back to Sam, apologizing for taking so long.
