Of being brainwashed and turning into a monster just like that woman, Syella! What then? Will you keep making people kill their own families? Controlling their minds or maybe you will be the one to ravage a city to the ground?"[/color] Karina shouted. [color=6ecff6]"Do you think I am where I am right now just because I am 'a little princess' as you say?"[/color] Karina asked, almost hissing at Tayla. [color=6ecff6]"I am where I am due to my intelligence, skill and excellence in what I do! How many years do you think I spent training my swordsmanship, how many years do you think I've spent studying? Even knowing that you still DARE to call me a privilleged little princess? While you groveled at your misfortune, I trained and studied! Don't you [i]dare[/i] blame your misfortune in life for your poor decisions!"[/color] Karina continued. Karina would have continued but the second Tayla asked if she thought the crazed were the only reason for the Empire invading the Kingdom of sight and concluded asking what made her think that the cult haven't dug it's claws on the Empire yet, Karina knew she was done talking. [color=6ecff6]"Then It's my job to [i]purge[/i] whatever vestige there is of your little cult from the Empire... Alongside with you."[/color] Karina finished. When she was about to end Tayla though, a sound coming from behind her alerted her to someone else's presence there. Despite her fast reaction, immediately dodging to the side while trying to finish Tayla, the other cultist was still able to get a small cut on her arm with his knife. The second his blade touched her skin though, she would notice that it was coated with numbing oil, which would prevent her from using her magic for a while. Cursing her own lack of attention in her mind, Karina saw as Tayla somehow was able to block her attack, using her own ability to deflect her blade. [color=6ecff6]"Hmpf... Unfortunately, you two chose the wrong side."[/color] Karina said as she dodged the cultist's blow, whom she recognized now that she took a better look at him. It was the same troublesome cultist who helped her back when they fought last time. Smit if she wasn't mistaken. With a fluid movement of her body, Karina dodged Smit's attack, using the same momentum to launch a counterattack, lunging towards him with her rapier. She wouldn't let Tayla escape again nor she would keep playing with her little helper. Tayla was wounded. She would quickly deal with Smit them move on to her... Little did Karina know that Tayla wasn't really trying to run away this time and had other plans in mind...
