The fool of a vampire had called out his guards and began to surround him. They were multiplying rather quickly and his manticore roared in defiance. One vampire fell, thanks to Alaia's hands and a massive amount of illusions disappeared. Three remained in his path, surrounding him. One thing that was fun about being a werewolf is that they won't know you are one until you've transformed or have been hit with silver. Thankfully for him, none of these fools actually held silver in their hands nor were using magic to intimidate him. "Human this, human that, how very fascinating how they assume so quickly." He muttered to his manticore before it raised its stinger and launched paralyzing quills at the hordes of vampire, hitting a multitude of them and killing two vampires.

Two more were slaughtered by the man with the helmet before he swerved towards Cain, the leader of the troupe. Lenil didn't concern himself with the man any further. He sped towards the remaining vampire who was the one who actually looked confused as to what happened and drove his flaming sword straight through his heart. Leonil had nothing against vampires, but in this situation, he couldn't leave a single one alive. The vampire screamed as the fire consumed it.

His manticore, on the other hand, went for the werewolf once more - pouncing on it and then attempting to stab it with its stinger, with the full intention of injecting the poison directly at it. The manticore would swipe its close viciously at its enemy.

Leonil turned to Alaia and gave her a small smile as he removed his sword from the vampire who turned into ashes. "M'lady, don't you think that would be a bit too desperate? Besides, a surprise wouldn't hurt when it truly counts." He pointed out. If they knew that he was a werewolf, then there was no way he could surprise his enemies with a trump card. Leonil knew that he had to make his transformation count. As a werewolf, he couldn't possibly keep his manticore going and that meant that the three headed werewolf would have no opponent aside from himself and Alaia, or even that strange woman from before. He had to defeat his demonized brethren first before he could transform.

The appearance of a vampire startled Leonil. He immediately drew his sword in response. As the vampire appeared and his face revealed, Leonil tensed up. It would seem that the vampire also knew Alaia and had done something horrible to her best friend. A growl formed in his throat, his body itching to transform. However, he fought it back. It would do him no good should he transform and reveal himself now. Not with the hunter here. "I have scores to settle with him - Aklenroth. I know what he is capable of." He said, venom dripping with his words. He rarely got angry or let his composure fall, but beings like Aklenroth were one of the reasons why he would just go ballistic. A horrible three headed werewolf appeared and he couldn't help but be revolted by it, rage and anger filled his entire body as he looked at the disfigured werewolf.

This vampire had the gall to make one of his brethren like that. A dragon appeared, the woman's familiar. Her demeanor changed but he didn't pay this any mind. His entire body visibly shook with the negative emotions filling it. He could barely hear Alaia's orders with the blood thundering in his ears. Another vampire entered the fray, this one was unfamiliar and unknown to him. The hunter that accompanied the one with the helmet foolishly charged at the three headed werewolf, attempting to wound the beast. He was ripped to shreds, his screams of terror and agony filling the area.

Flames began to lick around his iron sword, swirling and flickering between orange, red and blue. The fire reflected his own feelings - the only thing occupying his mind was destruction and death. He took a deep breath, the fire retracting and inflaming with his own meditation. His anger was replaced with calmness. "I shall put you out of your misery." He said, voice ice cold as he pointed his sword at the three headed monstrosity that used to be one of his kind. His yellow eyes trained on the vampire who seems to be enjoying the show along with Aklenroth. A friend of his is an enemy of Leonil's. For once, he knew that he could completely agree with Alaia. It would seem that joining her cause wasn't a bad idea after all. "Vampires had always been arrogant, believing themselves to be invulnerable when they are merely immortal." The fine line between the two words were all that mattered for a vampire. Immortality meant that they could live forever without worrying of old age. Invulnerable meant that they were impervious to any damage. Vampires were merely the former, the threat of death still looming over their heads.

He beckoned forth a familiar that he barely used for it was the most destructive out of the three he currently owned. A deep growl resounded over the clearing and a manticore burst forth from the forest line and immediately tackled the werewolf at full speed. The tackle would surely disorient if not completely throw off the werewolf. The manticore settled beside its master and showing its full height. Even as a four-legged creature, it was still bigger than its owner. While its size wasn't near the dragon's, it was still impressive. Leonil placed a hand on the mane of the manticore, gazing at his two opponents and then sighing. "Well hunter, let's see what we can do." He told the man with the helmet who had obtained wings himself and his own sword enveloped in holy fire.

Oh hey, I was thinking about Aklenroth and thought that Leonil would hate him more than a regular noble vampire. Was thinking that Aklenroth indirectly caused the Drestback family massacre or something. Is that alright with you?

Oh and for anyone else, if ya'll need an excuse as to who taught a human beast magic, you can probably use Leonil as the reason.

Age Of Rising Horrors

Oh, look! Another enemy to pay attention too.

"Odin huh? That's a nice name." Leonil commented, keeping his smile. He knew few werewolves who would treat their familiars with such kindness and familiarity - she was no werewolf, that he was sure of. He rose to a standing position as both the woman and Alaia said that they would not do it. He had his hands behind his back, looking rather formal to be honest. They seemed adamant not to do it but Leonil only said, "If Alaia, my boss, does not wish to do it, then I will not allow you."

The man acted violently, jerking her hand and forced the dagger onto her hand. Leonil growled, "Protector of the humans and yet acts like that, what a joke." He placed a hand on his sword and continued, "Let her go." However, he looked at Alaia, waiting for her order. He was not, at all, bothered by the fact that he was going to be revealed should he cut himself. No, he was angry because of this hunter who was forcing another to harm themselves. His familiars waited for orders from beyond the forest line, raring to go.

Surprised by Alaia suddenly stopping and then leading him elsewhere, Leonil was too dumbstruck to think that maybe following a voice in the forest was a good idea. The forests gave way to a spring, a beautiful sight in the dim forest. He remembered this place, though he was surprised to see a human there. The woman was accompanied by a white wolf wise size was above average. A familiar perhaps? Was she a werewolf then?

Two other men were there, quite obviously hunters from their getup. Perhaps this was, indeed, a bad idea. Leonil was not too keen in Interacting with hunters outside of town where they would be more suspicious and alert. However, he decided to pay them little mind as the woman spoke. Leonil gave her a warm smile and said, "Greetings as well, friend. Water sounds good after a fight, actually." He nodded before strolling over to the spring, careful not to aggravate the wolf familiar or the hunters. He knelt down, cupped his hands and got some water. He drank it and then looked back at the woman. "This water is quite delicious. And may I add that your wolf looks rather spectacular." He seemed unfazed at the constant growling the wolf was doing.

Leonil's eyes gazed towards the silver crucifix dagger. How very prepared of him, carrying that object that could easily eradicate both werewolf and vampire. This is quite funny for him. Mistress Misfortune must have been favoring him today, not that he was especially surprised considering everything that had happened to him in his entire life. He waited patiently for the dagger to be given to him after the woman was done. It may not end well but he would at least see it through.

So how would silver affect a werewolf? Would his blood sizzle in contact? Would he not be able to hold it? Or would it just be more painful than how it would affect a human? I just wanna write this right.

Age Of Rising Horrors

Huh, I was under the impression that our characters would only head back to Lapenzan and not to Mirstone any time soon, but if that is the case, then I will be lookin forward to it.
