The Walking Paths

*was also covered with vines*
...
*the earthly protection is gone now but i remain covered with vines coming out of my skin*
...
*makes the vines go back into my skin a bit leaving thorns on my skin*
very good move
*grins*

"having your energy helped....and those thorns dont look friendly" he muttered staring at the sharp points sticking out of baha's body.

*grins*
they can be mean sometimes

artix grinned showing his fangs clearly "oh yeah....lets see just how mean they can be" he said before rushing at baha once more and uppercutting her with his blade.

*grins as the vines shoot out of my body with the thorns on them and wrap around him*
they can be very mean

artix laughed nervously as the vines wrapped around him, he couldnt move or retaliate "not too mean i hope?" he chuckled

not to you though...mean to people i dont like
*smiles*
would you like me to let you go?

artix smiled "no no im perfectly vine" he said as baha suddenly felt herself being wrapped by the tendrils coming from artix's blade, now she too was trapped. while he kept her distracted he had the tendrils from his blade sneak along the floor and then wrap around baha. the tendrils dug into baha's skin once more and drained her energy. "now we wait until you pass out from lack of energy" he muttered cockily

*eyes slowly start closing*
you know....taking my energy doesnt make my body too happy
*quickly opens eyes wide as they both turn completely black, i grin big showing my fangs*
heh heh

artix's eyes widened as the peice of sharpened rock came hurtling towards him, he could release his grip on baha and save himself from injury, or he could take the hit.

suddenly almost all of the tendrils holding baha removed themselves leaving around five or six behind, they shot after the peice of rock and shattered it, before returning to the handle of artix's blade. now it would be easier for baha to escape as only six small tendril were holding her in place.

*grins and looks at him*
see....told you

(( brb...gotta go clean something...ill be back))

"i have another ace up my sleeve but i dont know if i should use it" he muttered seriously "if i do i cant be responsible for what happens" he added gravely.

*looks at him and jumps back away from him*
yeah i have one more trick to use as well....its not much but it keeps people unstable for a while

"in that case i will try and contain myself while using this ability" he muttered a he closed his eyes, after a while he reopens them suddenly and they changed frm black to red.

suddenly wings burst from artix back and he pushes his arms and legs outwards with all his might snapping the vines that held him in place. he had changed dramatically and now looked like this:

Spoiler:

he charged at baha and grabbed his by the arm flying upwards into the air, he gave her a cocky smile before throwing her into a tree.

*i fly backwards hitting a tree, causing it the break and fall over towards me*
oh shit
*jumps up quickly grabs the falling tree and throws it at artix*
damn this one was heavy
*smirks as i pop my back and my neck*
that one hurt....

*grins and stands up straight*

Advantages: lowers opponent's accuracy. affects all enemies

artix slices the tree in half watching as both pieces flew past him. is that all ya.... he trailed off as he watched baha create an earthquake the he laughed. baha for an earthquake to affect somebody they must be on the ground.....but where am i? he looked down as if mocking baha im in the air he laughed.

*growls and looks up at him*
heh heh
*eyes fully go black with a hint of blood red in them and grins*
*throws my arms up and sharp stone, spiked vines fly up towards artix*
*jumps up and appears behind him, does a little spin and kicks him in the back*
*unfolds wings and stays in the air*

artix dodges the vines but is kicked in the back sending him flying a few feet through the air, he quickly rights himself and faces baha who is also airborn. and aerial battle?.......this will be fun he mutteres as he flies around baha i a circle occasionally getting close and swiping at her with his sword.

*thinks to self as im being swiped at*
oh goodie...swiping
*mina appears in my left hand, i focus on artix, my nails grow long and sharp, i stick my hand out and cut artix across the chest and appears a couple feet away from him*

artix jumps backwards from the wound, blood raining down and stainging the leaves of the tree's isnt this supposed to be a freindly spar? he asked nervously with his sword held in a defencive position as the wound on his chest continued to bleed.

i dont know....is it?
*grins showing fangs and licking the blood from my nails*
mmmm...delicious.....your turn

artix laughed nervously before flying over baha and ramming her with his shoulder, holding onto her shoulders tightly so that she had no way of escape, he was dragging her to the floor, ready to slam both her and himself into the concrete below. all the while. smiling at her.

*grins darkly as i use my legs to wrap around him and pulls him off and throwing him*
mmmm seemed like you liked being that close to me
*grins again and giggles softly but darkly*

artix rolls across the floor before standing up and wiping the blood from his lip
oh really?....well...lets get a little closer he said with a sly grin as he charged at baha wrapped his arms all the way around her and wraps his legs in between hers so that she had no way of fighting back.

baha felt something sharp sticking into the whole of her front bdy and noticed that spikes were slowly sliding out of artix's skin.
