[b][u]Cuttersbury - Trail to Drych Lake[/u][/b]

The Pride and their allies focused their attention on the Big Bro Varren, although to little success. This Varren may be bigger, but it was certainly [i]badder[/i] too. As it proceeded to pummel the group pretty much to the ground, it didn't lose it's cool for even a second. It tapped it's feet, spinning on the spot as it countered and dodged the blows, it's shades flashing in the sunlight.

Until... it saw... [i]her![/i] A beauty in white, with wonderful long black fur on it's head among it's spikes, plump lips and one hell of a shiny coat. What more could a Varren ask for! The world seemed to slow for the creature, even moreso when this strange, gorgeous vision flicked her long locks back. Her lips parted by just a tiny fraction.

If Varrens had a concept of marriage, he wanted to do that right now.

At least until the noisy one jumped him. The one which kept talking all the time in that yap yap yap human-speak he didn't understand. She kept yapping even once he had delt with her - focusing instead on that beauty. He danced forward, cranking it up to eleven and leaving poor Nani dangling behind him like a cape. He started making odd, almost purring noises. Oh gods they weren't going to all be subject to a Varren mating ritual were they?! Oh gods it was even mirroring her shimmying!

Not if a certain master of interfering with relationships had anything to do with it. Running in at the edge of the battlefield and glowing with Marcus' buff, he could see everything which was going on. Everyone getting pummelled, Jett leaping forward to catch Estelle, Quentin painfully preparing something up in the trees... "Nani! Let go of the sword!"

Syed began moving his arms in wide yet precise movements, his fingers forming various signs as he went. Electricity began to arc across his body as he did so, dancing across his fingers with every twitch. And then, once he was sure Nani was clear, his fists clenched.

With that, electricity suddenly buzzed across Nani's sword as it was wrenched backwards. The sheer force pulled the Varren back a little, unbalancing it, but it wasn't enough to free the sword.

It did, however, crack the main spine the sword was trapped by. It wouldn't take much more to break the spine and free it. It also majorly pissed off the Varren, who as far as it was concerned was having it's game ruined by a bunch of noisy yap-yap monkeys who had also beaten up it's bros. It didn't understand which one did that, but it wouldn't let them hurt her too! It was going to protect her at all costs!

It roared, the ground shaking even more. Then without hesitation it leapt forward, bringing it's paw down on Trixie...

CLANG!

"Not... on my watch you don't...!" Moira groaned, having skidded to a stop over the Prankster and brought up her sword to once more block the blow. Her sword trembled against the sheer force it pushed upon her. The previous blow had knocked the wind out of her, but Moira was probably just as tough and stubborn as a Varren in that way - especially when buffed to the eyeballs by Amy. If anyone had any bright ideas, the sooner the better!

Syed as always was by her side, although he was quick to drop to his knees in his attempt to get Trixie at least out of imminent danger.
