Fayne gulped. He was a little bit squeamish and transforming into a bird form looked more uncomfortable than when he transformed into a wolf. Maybe even a little painful, with the feathers and all. Fayne preferred to stay in his half form, but he was always willing to go through the transformation if he had the chance to run fast. Before he knew it, Nikita was done with her transformation. "You're so beauti- I MEAN AWESOME. I said awesome." He ran around her in circles, picking up her wing and inspecting it. ((Hi guys!)) "I think I'm both awesome and beautiful," she said proudly, stretching her wing out to show off her feathers. They were the reason that some of her kind were hunted ruthlessly. Some of them were easily as long as her arm. Though they looked golden-brown from far away, up close her feathers had a wide variety of brown tones, from a dark, rich brown to a shade so light it was nearly white. "I like being in this form the most, but it can get a bit cumbersome in towns. Plus, some people would kill for a couple of my feathers." As Fayne examined her wings, Nikita watched him with amusement that was much more fond than she typically had for a near-stranger. He really was a sweetheart, maybe a bit over-enthusiastic at times, but a sweetheart none the less.

(Greetings! ^-^ )
Ravage was already having trouble with his balance, and with a dog on his back he could barely keep from tipping over. One swift kick from the fox sent him tumbling over backwards. His weight landed fully on the dog on his back for a moment, before he rolled off onto his side. Swatting at them didn't seem to be doing much, so Ravage decided to try to bite with his new sabertooth tiger fangs. He picked himself off the ground and leapt, jaws open, towards the fox.

Fayne laughed to himself, Nikita obviously didn't mind boasting when it came to her lineage. "Hunted? You mean people actually come for you guys?" His tone was serious now.
(I love how they're oblivious to this huge monster fight on the other side of town xD )

(I'd ship that ^0^ )
Ravage sunk to his hands and knees. He pulled the bloody daggar from his mouth and threw it to the ground weakly. He was blind in his first eye, which he always kept hidden with hair, and now he was blind in both eyes. He stayed there, immobilized, for a long moment. Already he was shifting back into his typical rat anthro form, as if he didn't have the strength to keep in his mixed beast form. Blood poured from his tail and mouth. "You.." he coughed. He fell to the ground, dizzy from loss of blood. "I thought... I was unbeatable. A new werecreature, the first of my kind. I was to be the next king..." he coughed again. He felt ashamed to be beaten by only three shifters. "But...you have beaten me. Fox, come to me." He raised a weak claw in what he hoped was Vince's direction.

It wasn't the fox's direction but Vince let out a growl as a groan in his throat and cautiously approached nonetheless, ready to spring back if Ravage attacked once more. His cheek bled where Ravage's claws had struck him, the white areas of fur looked almost like the fiery red-orange areas that covered a majority of his anthro form, not to mention the blood of the rat stained around his muzzle. "Ya set yerself up fer this lad. You, and Saber, must learn that the more ya take, the less ya have. Powe ain't everythin'. It's not choice of weaponry, and it ain't about brute strength, it's somethin' from the heart 'n the will to do what's right! Saber has wronged us all, even you. Ya really think he sees ya as a friend laddie? If he did, then he might've sent someone to aid ya, but he didn't now, did he? He wouldn't crown you as king, no he'd keep it all fer 'imself, 'n by the end of his reign you'd be too old ta carry on", he said to Ravage.

"I'll tell you why I was with Saber," he grunted. "Long ago I sided with king Saber. I wanted to be king, and taking out Saber when he wasn't looking was the best way to get there. I knew he wouldn't be my ally; but I had him fooled into thinking we were. I wanted the power and fear that the crown gives. Your father and I were friends, boy, but.. he got in the way of my ambitions. I framed him for a crime one day, which gave me the perfect excuse to attack. So I killed him. I've been trying to blame Saber for what I've done all these years, but...it was all my fault. I...miss him, too." He paused. "I should not have fought you, out of respect for your father; I was blinded by my own anger at myself for betraying him. Your father was good to me, even when I was a youthful troublemaker." Ravage had a coughing fit and his head fell to the ground. He talked in a hoarse whisper. "You've grown up so strong...just like him. He...would be proud."

"Ay...As he always told me, those that disobey the rules receive no mercy...But those that turn on their friends receive no forgiveness..Me father was a forgiving person", Vince said wit a bit of a sad sigh. To someone else, Ravage might of sounded like a liar, but to Vince his tone and his words for genuine, and he looked at Jag. "And it would seem, so am I", he said, seeing how quickly the two of them went from enemies to friends, and then looked back down at Ravage. "I'm sorry it had to be this way, but it's time to put an end to this tyranny...", he said.
(I found a song that fits for Ravage's and Vince's father's deathat. WARNING: it's really sad. HERE)

(Omg this is getting so emotional for me x'D )
Jag nodded. He was out of breath and scratched up everywhere, but had no serious injuries. He trusted Vix, and they were a great team together. Jag was standing back to allow Vince to talk with the dying rat.
Ravage hacked and coughed. "Give me.. a proper burial. Please..." he begged. Having no strength left for speaking, he waited for the final blow.

((They're completely clueless haha. "Fight? What fight? Have you seen how cool my wings are? I have flipping awesome wings."))
Nikita nods, her grin falling flat. "Feathers the size of ours are pretty valuable. Even crow or gull feathers can fetch a nice price. Some people value the money more than the fact that we're people," she explains grimly.

(LOL xD They're both hopeless!)
Fayne scratched his chin. "How much would you hate it to travel as a group?" He asked thoughtfully. "I mean, I'd hate for someone to corner you, and I'm pretty good at fighting."
Jag walked up behind Vince and put his hand on his shoulder. "You okay?" He asked simply.

Nikita raised her eyebrow and considered Fayne once again. He's a wolf, clearly comfortable in his half form at the least. She would be limited on flying, but the possible benefits of protection might outweigh that slight drawback.
"We could give it a try for a bit," she decided after a moment and folded her wings. They didn't fold perfectly like a bird's might, but that was what she got for having wings big enough to support her weight.

Fayne yipped happily. "Great! I'll buy lunch!" He bounded towards the tavern. "You coming?" His face was in an eternal smile.

Once again, Nikita was surprised by the wolf's excitement. More like a puppy, she thought to herself.
"I'm coming!" she called and followed him. As she did, her wings started to shrink back into her back. They stopped growing smaller once they reached an arm length each. Nobody could fly with wings that size, but they were much less of a hassle to deal with.

Fayne shouted at her as she caught up to him. "Hey, where'd your giant feathers go? Oh I get it, you want to keep a low profile, right? I should probably stop shouting!" He pretended to clear his throat awkwardly. "Ah...anyways, this place is great! I mean, it's an inn, but they serve food there too! Lots of meat!" He started salivating but tried to play it cool in front of the lady.

Jag walked up behind Vince and put his hand on his shoulder. "You okay?" He asked simply. Vince looked back at Jag for a moment before looking down at Ravage again. "Ay...", he nodded with a sad sigh. "He was a friend, despite his sins...I will do as he wishes and bury 'im next to me father's grave. He has realized what he's done wrong 'n admitted to it, he's earned forgiveness 'n deserves a proper burial", he said.

Jag almost felt bad for Ravage. He was pretty ugly and he obviously had nothing going on for him. And it was clear that from a young age, he wasn't taught to be a noble person. But Ravage had done terrible things and had no moral sense-it had to end this way, to keep everyone safe. Jag scooped him up easily with his amazing strength. "Where is your father buried, Vix?" He asked.

(WOW sorry, guys, I missed a lot ;n;)
Finn had made a run for it before the going got tough, but he had watched the rat's transformation into some impossible beast with a large dose of incredulity (during half the fight he wondered if he had passed out behind the local tavern at some point and was dreaming the whole thing). By the time it was over and Ravage lay deceased, the pine marten was convinced that it hadn't been a dream and that presented him with a problem. The fox and lion had seen him conversing with Ravage before they had chopped off his tail, but the question remained: had they seen him run away? He didn't know and, as much as he wanted to run away, he knew he couldn't simply because any movement could attract their attention even though he was decently off the road and partially hidden behind a building.

(It's okay, it happens! ;D )
"Let me know if I can help any," Jag offered. He was proud of his friend for being able to forgive such a monster. He remembered serving under Ravage, and watching him be a cruel brute to others. Now in death, he seemed sad and lonely. "I wonder where the other guards all went to? It seems like none of them came to help back him up. Even that civilian he was talking to didn't help. He must not have ever had any friends, save for your father, Vix."

(Hey Fern I'm drawin' a pic of Vince and Jag )
"Ay. Like I told 'im, the other guards never cared, not even Saber. They might of feared 'im at best, since he served so close to the king. Me father knew many friends, but I could tell by the sound o' Ravage's voice that me father was 'is only friend...'N he killed 'im. There's a difference between lonely 'n bein' alone, one is no one's around, the other is no one cares. Ravage didn't have anyone, but he wasn't alone", Vincent said, picking up Ravage's dismembered tail to bury it with him so that his spirit may rest easier. He led Jag out of town and back into the woods, towards the hideout they were at before, only they kept going just a bit further until they reached what looked to be a grave spot, and one single headstone thst read "Here lies Falon. A father, a friend. Forever in the memories of many". Vince grabbed what looked like a stone slab leaning against a nearby tree, and a couple of sharp rocks. "Why don't chya get his grave dug fer me, I'll work on makin' 'is headstone", he told Jag, pointing at a clear spot next to the other grave, and then turned his attention to the slab of stone. He set Ravage's tail down and began chiseling at the slab with the two rocks, carving a name and a few words of memorial.

When he was satisfied with the size, he leapt out of it and walked over to Vix. "All ready over here, friend," he said, clapping his hands to get the wet dirt to fall off.
