Amethyst VS Akirina [Battle for a way to pass!]

Amethyst narrowed her eyes at her opponent, it was obvious that she didn't want to fight. So, she would have to start things off.

She skilfully and quickly opened her quiver again before dipping into it and pulling out one of her precious Golden Arrows. She pulled it back against the silver bow string, before holding it for a few second to activate the charming abilities it held. Hopefully, her opponents would be hypnotised for 20 seconds.

Then, she released the arrow. Since she didn't want to injure the girl in front of her, she aimed just in front of her down at the floor. The arrow exploded on contact as she commanded it to, and a large ball off flames separated them.

"Alright, Aneania, I want you to go for the dog. I'll take the girl." Amethyst then said firmly, readying her bow for another arrow as a counter.

"Yes, master." Aneania growled and then pounced through the flames at the dog, her teeth bared.

Akirina didn't really know what to do. And what could Mynus do besides catch things? She pulled out the lute, after the fire line was between the two girls. She pulled out the fife, wondering if this move could be enough. She hoped it would be, since it wouldn't physically hurt any of them.

She began to play a song, making sure her pitch was loud and perfect. The tune itself could already activate the memories even if she wasn't a demi-god. That was just how it sounded. Depressing and sad.

Mynus growled at the lion, taking his stance. He barked at her, just like any hunting dog would do. But what kind of dog would go against a lion? He growled at her, taking steps backwards. Akirina knew that he would find an exit if he needed to.

Amethyst heard a song being played, and knew that this girl was a child of Apollo through this tell tale sign. For now, the strange song didn't affect her.
She caught sight of a rock higher up on a pillar, that looked loose. Perfect to bring down and hurt the girl in front of her.

She aimed up high, and shot a normal arrow at the rock. It tottered back and forth, before tumbling forwards and started plumetting towards the ground.

Aneaia brought her large paw up and swiped at the dog before leaning back on her back legs, and pouncing like a cat towards it.

She stopped the fife, after watching the arrow soar to the direction above her. Akirina knew what she would probably do, and ran to the opposite direction. She then grabbed her bow, a normal wooden one, and since she couldn't reach one of her arrows on time, she formed one out of light and shot it towards the girl, hoping she wouldn't miss.

She couldn't miss. If it did or did not hit her, she would still do the same thing. Explode it. Akirina wasn't sure what would happen if it did burst. If the girl was hit, then Akirina would be sure to heal her.

She looked at Mynus.

Mynus was swiped by the lion. He growled and ran towards her, just as she was about to pounce. If Mynus got hurt, Akirina would blame herself.

Amethyst saw a blinding light approach her and stayed stood still, narrowing her eyes at the arrow form. Then, at the very last minute, she jumped out of the way. The arrow sliced across the top layer of skin on her left arm, making blood spill onto the dusty floor.

"Oh, she's done it now..." She muttered darkly and pulled herself up to her feet, taking her quiver and emptying it into her hand. Arrows scattered onto the floor, until a single Golden Apple landed in her palm. The one she had recently found, and didn't know what it could do.

Now was the time to find out.

She threw her bow over her back momentarily and took the apple in her right arm, the strongest one. Then, she drew it back above her head, and launched the apple just in front of Akirina. The anger that surged through her made the apple explode downwards, creating a large gaping hole that made the rest of the earth around the girl and dog crumble.

Then, a blinding flash of golden light emitted from the spot, and up into the air, trailing golden sparks. The sparks got bigger and bigger on their way down, until it started to rain scolding hot golden flashes.

Aneania held her front paws above her head in time to catch the dog and throw him to the ground, before feeling the ground below her crack. She leaped backwards so far that she was now stood next to Amethyst, her commander.

"You're hurt, master." The lion noticed, growling lowly. "But that was a rather impressive attack."

"I'm fine. And thank you. It was from a Golden Apple I found in my quiver." Amethyst said, her eyes watchful as to whether the other girl would be hit or injured at all.

" Mynus! " Akirina ran to the dog who had just been thrown to the ground. She had no time to react to the crumbling crocks and the ground that seamed to fall apart below her.

"Oh Mynus! You're hurt! If it would be like this I would've never joined." Akirina said, putting her hands on top of him, healing him quickly. She didn't want him to suffer from injuries or scratches.

"I'm fine Rina,We have to get out of here." Mynus said, looking as it started to "Rain".

"Wait the girl was injured. Her arm... I think I hit it! Mynus, we have to go look for her." She said, not minding the gold flecks. She needed to know if the girl was all right.

"I can't see what's going on, Aneania." Amethyst said, squinting her violet eyes and still seeing nothing. Dust was rising up from the cracks in the rock now, and clouding the sky. Golden flashes occasionally hit the ground and made it shake slightly, but other than that it was pretty quiet now.

"Me neither, master." The lion said, shaking her head and stretching before laying back on her back paws.

"Wait, is that them?" Amethyst then shouted, shielding her eyes from the sun with her hand and looking. "It is! I hope they're ok, I don't want to be held responsible for any injuries." She then said slightly worriedly.

Akirina, with the help of Mynus, was out of the rubble. She coughed a bit, then spotted the girl and the lioness. She looked at the girl's arm, and with panic, she ran towards her, ignoring her own pain.

"You guys are hurt!" Akirina said gasping. She wanted to heal them both, and then felt Mynus chasing behind her, stopping at her side. She was happy to see that Mynus was fine.

"If you let me, do you mind if I heal you?p" Oh gosh, the team captain was going to kill her! And maybe even fry her alive. But it didn't matter.

Amethyst winced slightly but hoped that it wasn't too noticeable as her wound decided to bleed faster, splatting onto the ground below her.
"I'm fine, this is just a scratch." She said reluctantly and then turned her attention to the other girl. "Are you both alright?"

She then waited for an answer, and looked down at Aneaia who had a gash on her shoulder. This made Amethyst gasp. The lion just seemed to ignore it.
"What is it, master?" She asked the girl, looking up.

"You're shoulder..." Amethyst pointed out.
"Oh, this? It's just a scratch." Aneaia said smoothly.

"Yeah we're fine. But you don't look to good. It's not just a scratch, let me heal you. " Knowing that the leader was going to get mad, Akirina put her hands on the wound, hoping that the girl won't push her away and make her lose concentration.

She them focused the energy into the girl, making sure that the wound would close, and left no pain. Yes, it drained her of her energy, but she didn't really care at all. She sighed, as the process was finished. She looked towards the lion, wondering if she was okay as well.

Amethyst smiled kindly at the girl.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." She said gratefully as Aneaia got to her feet. "Well, we best carry on to the flag."

The lion nodded. "That we shall."

"Thanks again for the help. By the way, what's your name?" Amethyst then asked as she put away her arrows in her quiver and slung her bow over her back in the white strap.

"No problem. My name is Akirina. But you can call me Rina." She said with a smile. Mynus was by her side, silent. He didn't want to say anything and Akirina knew that he just wanted to search for the flag.

Akirina had to go her way too. Her leader would kill her if he found out that she helped the other side and if she didn't try to find the flag.

[[Where do we go from here??]]

"Ok, Rina. My name's Amethyst, great to meet you. We should meet sometime, not under fighting circumstances." Amethyst laughed and saluted the girl with her newly healed arm.

"Come on, Aneaia. We've got a flag to capture." She then smirked, running off around the devastated area of which she had caused, the lion running behind her.
