Her telekinesis failed which Ky wasn't too upset about. One wrong move and she could permanently injure the misguided, aggressive rhinoceros. Her words still went in one ear and out the other as the rhino demanded she be freed. Ky didn't really have much of a choice at this point. Her magic was wearing thin and the constant pull of the heavy rhino was too much. Her gem flickered once before the glow faded and the spell was broken. The rhino would be free to do what she wanted.

Ky crouched, tail lashing, ears pinned, and legs ready to leap to the side should the gray creature charge her again. However, she didn't plan to let that happen. The telekinesis spell had broken but she had another thing up her sleeve, a spell she had tried once before with Aza'zel in their spar. With a loud hiss from between bared fangs she released another bubble of magic this one different from the last. Her goal was to scream loudly into the rhino's head, a scream that while not verbal would fill her head with a distracting headache inducing sound to distract her.

Her blue eyes were narrowed as she focused her spell on the rhino as well as her eyes on the movements of the creature. If she failed she would have to be prepared to leap out of the way or get trampled.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

The chains were broken and Fire stumbled forward, surprised by the sudden lack of restraints. She snorted, her cold eyes lining up the path she would take, like aiming a sniper shot down a sight. Fire began to flicker, tiny little flames, at her heels. She would trample that lion, burn her good with her hungry flames. The lioness would never mess with her again. Fang would be proud of her powerful knight, her bodyguard, her closest friend and family.

A sudden scream tore through her head and her eyes went wide, showing the whites in them. She couldn't think, couldn't process anything, as the horrible screech ran through her mind. The rhino did the only sensible thing: she charged. She stampeded, a lone rhino without a herd, barreling forward in wild panic. What was that noise? What was happening! She had to attack, she had to run, she had to fight.

Fire licked up her heels, flames consuming her feet. She ran now with the Wind and the Fire and she became fury itself. She didn't know if she was screaming or if it was just the horrible noise she heard all around her. Flames consumed the rhino as she charged, wild and blind.

Her spell had been successful and the rhino appeared to be a bit disoriented. However, it didn't work quite like she planned. Instead of the rhino being frightened and unable to attack the scream had made her rush forward in a blind charge. The lioness was ready though, with her legs coiled to spring she awaited the rhino to come for her.

The rhino with smoldering steps came charging straight towards her and if she knew that if she was a second late or misjudged the leap that she would be trampled and it would be all over. The lioness just lay in wait, ears still pinned against her skull while her teeth were still parted. Her parted were more for taking in more air rather than any show of threat while her claws were unsheathed and ready for action should her plan work.

With knees bent she waited and when the rhino was upon her, horn prone and feet stomping, the lioness sprang straight towards her. The horn hit her in the leap leg in the leap while the heat seared her her coat but still she sprang. Her goal was to leap clear above the rhino and try to aim herself so that she would land upon her back. If she succeeded then she would hook her claws in to hold the beast to not be flung off. That would work right? Holding on for dear life? She'd be closer to the rhino's ears and away from the flailing horn and stomping feet.

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

Suddenly, the lioness was not in front of the rhino, nor trampled under her. This was a quite alarming thing, because her brain was aching and her vision red as a bull's-- she had no idea where the feline could have gotten to and she couldn't quite think it through. At least, until the sharp pain on her back told her where exactly that cat had gotten to.. On top of her. An instinct to set herself on fire, or try and buck the cat off, came to Fire, but something else hit the clever rhino's thoughts first.

A smirk set across her wide mouth, her eyes closing as she scuffed at the ground with her great foot, snorting. She had the best idea in the world. With a roar, the rhino bolted straight for the twister in the center of the large chamber. The cyclone was as much apart of Fire as she was of Monoceros-- she had ran along side it before, and she was not afraid of it.

And this was the perfect chance to send that thief, awful nasty feline, right into the heart of the storm. That would show her! Fire yelled with delight, her voice a shrill screech as she charged, feet pounding like hooves on the slick, cold earth.

She was hoping that the creature would stop and start bucking, run around in circles, anything! She did not expect the foolhardy thing to charge straight for the tornado! Fool! She would kill both of them! "Fool! You'll kill us both!" She cried out with some amount of anger in her voice. What was this rhino thinking?! Or was she thinking at all?

Makyna could feel the wind licking at her coat, threating to suck her and the rhino right up. She had to act fast! Makyna tightened her grip on the rhino, far past caring if the claws hurt as she didn't want to get sucked up. If she were killed because of this creature then she would never see her home again. Never see her friends.

Never see Leon.

That was enough to force a growl from her throat. She didn't want to hurt anyone but a line had to be drawn somewhere! The lioness gritted her teeth together and closed her eyes halfway because of concentration and halfway due to terror if she messed her spell up. Whelp, she had one shot to stop this crazy thing.

WINNER: Makyna

Wind roared in her ears as she tore towards the tornado, rage burning off of her like steam out of a kettle. Her body bore down to the raging storm, at least, until a tug on her heels made her stumble. She had reached the twister, its familiar roar like a war cry, calling her home. She charged almost through it, racing just on the danger zone, just around the point that would suck her in-- when Makyna's magic finally took hold.

She fell to her knees, slipping on the ear and becoming a great, massive bolder on the sandy ground. Wind whipped around them, but she had stopped, unmovable and just far enough out not to get sucked in. She snorted, the pain on her body suddenly unworth fighting much more.

"Get off'a me," she roared, shaking her head. "Get off'a, come on," she demanded, though there was a slight whining pitch to her voice that sounded more like she was on the edge of begging. She should have won this fight... Yet she felt too exhausted now to continue.

At first it seemed like her spell had failed when the rhino kept charinging forwards. The twister came closer and closer and her speed kept gaining. Fearfully the lioness began to scream, head turning to the side and eyes clenching shut. She could have just leaped off but she wanted to stop the rhino lest she kill herself. The creature was young yet and wanted to protect her territory. Though protecting the territory meant trying to destroy her it was something she could respect.

Just because she could respect it didn't mean that she couldn't find the blatant stupidity and aggression wrong.

Finally, the spell seemed to take hold and the rhino stopped just before they crashed through the twister. Ky could feel it tugging at her fur, threatening to suck her in anyway but she kept hold. Her clear blue eyes looked down at the rhino's own gaze, assessing the danger. "Get off'a, come on," That voice told her that it was over. She was free to go. Actually, she would probably be free to roam around more but after this encounter Ky wanted no more of this place. It would probably be a while before she came here again or rather came here alone again.

Makyna nodded her head, sheathing her claws and taking them out of the rhino's hide. "Alright, I'll get off and I'll leave too. I'm sorry it came down to a fight and I'm sorry for hurting you." Even though the rhino had clearly wanted to trample and kill her but Ky would be the bigger gem here. After a careful glance at the rhino's head she leaped off of the gray back and onto the ground a few feet away.

After it seemed like she would be left alone the lioness made sure she had all of her items then turned to leave. Her legs carried her away in a hasty trot so she could get far away from this place.
