@Sora @Kethri

Kethri shrieked, her claws aching, her feet bubbling and burnt. She wanted to kill Sora. She raked her talons down and used the opportunity to push herself away using Sora's face, taking a few clumsy steps and trying to fly away, her wing numb from the blow.

"I hope you drown in your own sorrow!", she shrieked, "Pathetic worm!"

The owl tucked her wings in tight, wary of them being injured. Being grounded for so long was the worst thing for her, for she relied so heavily on her wings.

Kethri spat at Sora's feet and hopped away, wings flapping as she tried to take flight, hissing and spitting, enraged at Sora.

Sora's nose stung with the smell of burnt keratin as the talons began to slash by her eye -- and this time, it was the one she could see out of. The hog backed away, Kethri's talons still gouging at her but not badly enough to do much more than leave scratches. She took steps back, distancing herself. Sora could have killed her -- in fact, something in her chest demanded that she did. Something dark and vengeful and filled with rage. But Sora did not -- instead, she looked Kethri over coldly as the pain began to squeeze at her, finally starting to hit. She was a little light-headed.

But she had a message she wanted Kethri to deliver. "You tell them who you lost to," Sora spat. "You tell them to never fucking bother me again, because next time I'll kill you. That's a promise, for all of your little friends. I'll kill you and grind your stone into nothing. Respect your own damn rules and stay in your stupid tunnel -- we don't need your filth here in Pisces." And her threat was not empty.

Sora snorted at Kethri. Staring. She would not turn her back to this bird, even if she seriously needed to be cleaning her wounds.




@kethri

Kethri started to cackle, "You stupid pig! I listen to no one but myself! If you think I'd send them your pitiful message, you're mistaken. Look at you! Covered in wounds- I have one on me. If you think you stand a chance against Alpha or any of them, you're sorely mistaken."

She took flight finally and circled around, pain shooting up her legs. She dove down to one of the pools and doused her legs in the chill water, wings raised high above before she took flight again, the water having stopped the burns from getting any worse. Now there was only healing.

"I wasn't the one who lost here,", she hissed, "Fool. I may have lost the battle, but the war will be won. I'll be sure to have Master Vargas have your stone taken next for his next batch of experiments."

She let out a shriek and flew off, hissing in pain as her burns were jostled. She'd heal them up quickly when she returned. This was only a setback.

Exit Kethri(?)

@Sora

Sora snorted. "I may be bleeding, but which one of us got what we wanted?" She gave a grin. "Watch him, 'cause he'll take your stone too."

Her words earlier and noise she continued to make gave her a clear picture of Kethri. Once she was gone, Sora sighed and approached the lagoon to start rinsing off her wounds. There was no telling what had been on those claws, but she also didn't have much of a way to clean her wounds except in water. Hopefully, the lagoon was clean enough that nothing would get infected.


/exit Sora

Kethri snorted, "I'm useful to him- like the Doctor is. And I don't see Vargas having wings."

She was so... cocky.

"I can't wait to see Alpha dragging your broken body to me,", she hissed, "I'll revel in tearing you apart!"

She let out another owlish shriek before taking off, disappearing into the distance. She had to tend to her wounds before she tried again. Perhaps she could talk one of the children into finding her a Gembound to experiment on. Khavur, if she was lucky.

Exit.
