[hider=Eith and Chimaera]

The Chimaera led the Shellagh back into the ruined castle, the noises of the camp quickly fading once they found themselves inside of the old stone walls. For the most part, they walked in silence. The Chimaera for the most part deciding there was no room for words until their little duel was over with. She led the both of them back down into the dungeons where Miren and Katherine had previously found documents regarding Eith's condition, though instead of going towards the kennels she led the two of them in the opposite direction until the came upon a large, round chamber. Well, large compared to the rest of the rooms in the place.

"Hmm...this will do," The chimaera walked into the center of the room, turning to face her would-be pack leader. "...this place is an unpleasant one, but having one last duel here would make him happy..." She chuckled lightly to herself, her snake tail looking oddly somber in the dim light of the room. "This one will spare you a story, for now, Shellagh. For now let us see if you are worthy of command."

She took an aggressive stance as she bared her claws.

The fight, was brutal. Chimaera was not holding back, and neither was Eith. The Chimaera adopted a brutal, fast, and relentless attack strategy. She closed the initial distance between them in a mere few seconds, her powerful legs carrying her swiftly across the ground to land an easy blow on the Shellagh, sharp claws digging into the Shellagh's flesh as a stream of lava-blood poured out from the wound. As fire spilled onto the Chimaera's thick fur, she merely ignored it - not seeming to care one bit if she was burned.

It seemed for a time the two were evenly matched, but even with the Chimaera's impressive physical strength and endurance, it was not a battle she could easily win against the demonic hound. Her venom was not overly effective against Eith's fire-blood, and the hounds regeneration of flesh wounds was nigh-instant, making cutting wounds from her claws nearly ineffective.

Even so, soon both combatants were done.

Chimaera was panting heavily, burns covering quite a bit of her body as she stood at the far end of the room. Eith stood some distance away, and though she didn't look too injured the Shellagh, at least by the Chimaera's estimations, was at least hurting some, but she couldn't keep up the fight any more.

She straightened her posture, and laughed.

"Well, then, Eith of the Shellagh...You have earned yourself a Chimaera. Use this one as you wish."

Marie for the most part remained silent. By the time she was back at the camp, she had lost the wings. She still kept to herself though, deciding to still not be active in the current affairs of the others at the camp. Instead, she propped herself up on her previous seat in the wagon and just remained silent.

Luna had put her in a bad mood.

[b]"A-ah?"[/b] Avaline's eyes brightened once again as Sol showed her how to use the mug in question. She swiped it from the humans hands, holding it in the palms of her hands as she raised it in front of her as if it was some rare treasure. [b]"Master Luna! Master Luna!"[/b] Before Sol could stop her, Avaline slithered over to Luna who was just now coming back from wherever it was she had run off too. [b]"Aha ah! Sol has showed me the wonders of spoons and Mugs!"[/b] She held the items in front of her, still as enthusiastic about them as she was. [b]"I am ashamed to admit it but you humans make some interesting things, yes! Such wondrous items!"[/b]

Sorcha, meanwhile, was busy dealing with a kitten. The dragon sighed, pulling the kitten closer to her. Yes, she supposed that was a problem wasn't it? The storm drake frowned as she let the kitten vent.

[color=aba000]"...I am not sure what to say, Little One."[/color] Sorcha glanced over to Sol. [color=aba000]"I am sorry if you thought such a title was special. I...that is what I call all children under my care."[/color] She replied honestly. [color=aba000]"You are not the first, and I doubt you will be the last if this stubborn old dragon refuses to die anytime soon."[/color] Sorcha chuckled lightly, though fell silent as she continued. Ah, this was a right problem that she didn't entirely feel like dealing with at the moment. The dragon let out a long sigh.

[color=aba000]"But, perhaps I can talk to Livia about your current situation. She is the best source of information regarding both the soul and things relating to it. She could likely give some insight."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Aha? O-okay?..."[/color] Miren was just getting more and more confused by the second. She had no idea what was going on with Katherine and Meowka at all. What she did know, she was getting little worried about Eith it had been at least ten minutes or so since she went with the Chimaera to have their little duel and - [color=6ecff6]"Ah!"[/color] Speaking of, she could hear them before they came into view.

For the most part, Eith looked fine. The Chimaera though, looked more than a little roughed up though she didn't seem bothered by her wounds or the burns on her fur and body.

[color=6ecff6]"Y-you're back! I-I kept some warm for the both of you."[/color] Miren greeted them with a smile before looking over to the Chimaera. [color=6ecff6]"U-uhm...are you...?"[/color]

[b]"Ah?"[/b] She smiled at Miren. [b]"Do not worry about this one. These wounds are nothing and will heal soon enough, but something to fill the stomach would be much welcome, little rabbit."[/b]
