[color=0054a6]Varya Chandrar[/color] Varya followed closely behind Veronica then hid in the corner opposite of her. He could hear two footsteps approaching, one much heavier than the other. Veronica said that they were a mage and a bear, the latter presumably not Cedar. Varya planned on using the hilts of his butterfly swords to knock out the red head by beating her in the back of her head. If there was a [i]chance[/i] he didn't have to take her life, might as well take it, if for no other reason than that it was a change of pace. Maybe if he she was knocked out cold Veronica wouldn't kill her, but he wouldn't stop V if she was dead set on it. Varya got to his knees, placed his hands on the ground, tucked in his chin and arced his back upwards, entering into Cat pose, before channeling the mana to invoke the power of the Cat (Cat's Grace activated). His eyes briefly turned cat like before he sprang up to his front heels, feeling the nimbleness of the cat and drawing his butterfly swords. He then shrouded himself in a veil of illusion (Invisibility activated). Seconds later Veronica dashed forth, a black blur, and Varya zoomed past the corner, boosted by his inhuman speed. The goal was to maximize speed and strike the witch before she had the chance to react. Varya would use Veronica as a distraction so he could circle behind the witch to deliver the knock-out blow. Adrenaline and magic coursed through his veins, propelling him forward. Soon the fury of battle would take him, and he would show both ally and enemy alike what he was capable of!
