--<._.-'--.__Tessa Orinae__.--'-._.>--
So cold... All the same, all about me. The wit, the wisdom. Here I stand, Here I live... The truth of a revelation, frozen in fear. Slowly dying...
"Stop!"
Tessa cried against her better judgement, keeping to the faith bestowed in her dream for a chance of things turning a tide. Still she could hardly move, despite her efforts to freeze and break her bonds.
"For the love of all life, what have I done to you? What has Jack done, that you would kill us both for some petty revenge?"
Seriel vanished from her side, and the look of worry on the girl's face amplified tenfold, but there was little to nothing she could do any longer. All that remained was faith...
"What have either of us done?"

Isobel*********************************
*************************Mierien
The age of men is over,
And the hour of Hell is at hand.
"You have taken from my my beloved Nickini! And he has taken my love Trienia!" Isobel hissed, appearing in front of Tessa, and holding the fan to her throat. "And now you have come to kill me," She said in a irritated, high tone. "I believe that merits the loss of a few fingers, yes?" Isobel lifted her hand, the chain following her movements, as she placed the fan in between the middle and ring finger.
"Enough! She has done little compared to myself Isobel! Kill me over her," Jack shouted and Isobel snarled, shooting a glare over his way.
"Your time will come doll," She said, and pressed the fan into Tessa's skin, but stopped from severing the appendage. Instead she grinned and withdrew the fan, obliging the shouts from Jack and appearing in front of him, holding the fan just below his neck. "So is this what you want in the end Tessa? For him to die for you, and you to follow?" She asked in a shout, her words harsh and devoid of any warmth.
You will pay dearly Jack Cortez...

<.,.-'-''-.,_Cassandra Nayime_,.-''-'-.,.>
So warm... The flares of a burning passion. The focus, the power. Here I stand, Here I dream... The faith of an untold force of magic. Slowly drowning...
"Jack..." Tessa whispered.
A searing fireball erupted through the darkened room, fully half as large as the figure who had fired it. Landing slightly behind Isobel's location, it burst in a slight radius, large enough to encompass her but certainly nothing to catch Jack in. Defiantly standing beside the hallway where Jack and Tessa had entered though, was the source.
"I believe you have one left standing, you rotten twit!" She called.
She threw her arms out at her sides, revealing both her own crimson-hilted sword and Seriel at her belt. Flames danced all around her, making every nearby motion hazardous.

So warm... The flares of a burning passion. The focus, the power. Here I stand, Here I dream... The faith of an untold force of magic. Slowly drowning...
Tessa's scream of pain echoed for a long moment, her figure coiling in on itself as she bit her lip, her faith fading fast.
"It shouldn't be this way..." she whispered, "Jack... do you trust me?"
Cassandra brought up her arm, angling to deflect the oncoming fan-blade with a sudden forming of a thick ice over her wrist, with which she found the projectile particularly stuck. She smiled wryly, acknowledging her mistake the moment the title was given.
"Hell's mistress, huh? Normally I'm the one to bring on the heat, but I don't see that as being the case, now do you?"
She brought both blades to bear, the immediate fires dying down only to surround her as the remainder of the room grew prohibitively cold, though various flames maintained it's illumination.
"I think the question Tessa had asked remains unanswered. How well can you dance around a blade?"
No time was left for an answer though, as she rushed forward, crossing blades high for a brief moment before parting to a two-way strike diagonally across Isobel's torso.

So warm... The flares of a burning passion. The focus, the power. Here I stand, Here I dream... The faith of an untold force of magic. Slowly drowning...
Cassandra turned to her side, instinctively bringing a sword out to either side, fully suspecting either a frontal or rearward assault, though her head turned only as she felt the metallic clash of her sword against another blade, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"You make it sound so difficult. I can imagine a few ways to leave that statement behind, but I don't seem to be the favorite here."
She swung out with Seriel, but quite suddenly the blade vanished in mid-swing.
The cry of the weapon's name had summoned it again to its sheath, and Tessa eyed Isobel for only a moment before running her hand sharply into the wall, causing several shards of ice to erupt from her immediate surroundings at her opponent, but also several riveting through Jack's own chains, hoping he would be able to come free with the help and distraction. Tessa's glare on Isobel hadn't lifted for a moment.

Tessa had just turned her attention to her own bonds and cut them loose when the searing pain of a slash ripped across the back of her neck, her vision blurring instantly. She dropped to her knees, unable to breathe as she vainly held her hand up to the back of her neck. Still she could not ice the wound before she lost all feeling and simply fell flat on the cave floor.
"Tessa!"
Cassandra was at her side in an instant, keeping herself just as pointedly between Isobel and Seriel as between her and Tessa. The blade at her feet shone slightly, however as a faint cold wove directly into Jack's senses.

Isobel*********************************
*************************Mierien
The age of men is over,
And the hour of Hell is at hand.
Isobel stood there triumphantly as Jack sprinted across the room, paying no attention to the Hell mistress, and sunk next to Tessa for a moment, her blood filling his senses, before he grabbed Seriel and swung upwards, catching Isobel by surprise and she fell half upon it, the ice searing through her and she screamed in agony, falling backwards and kicking out with her last leg. Jack fell forwards and drove the blade through her heart, to which the answering screams rendered him unable to hear.
"You cannot save here, she spreads only lies, leave her be," Isobel screeched in his mind, sending him twisted images of a dead Tessa, half rotted, with worms in her hair and eyesockets. Jack pulled away with a shout, and landed next to Tessa, Isobel shattering into pieces of shadow that evaporated. A goblin chant rang up and Jack lifted up Tessa, her blood wetting his hand/ "We need to go," He said to Cassandra through gritted teeth.
You will pay dearly Jack Cortez...

Cassandra nodded quickly, saving any potential sentiment for a safer time. With Tessa occupying Jack's arms and all manner of defensive, she erected a wall of flame behind them as she took off in a sprint towards the mouth of the cave. As she ran along, several small fires dotted the walls, lighting the path ahead as needed.

The Sisterhood of Slaughter
Choose your fate...
Ferathi Orlerretyn The finesse of the winds,
Cassandra Nayime The rage of the fires,
Tessa Orinae The chill of the seas,
Vanessa Halderi The might of the Earth.
Vanessa hopped down from the lip of the cave, tapping the wall for a moment before a wall of stone rose up to block any more possible exit. With a look to Cassandra in appreciation, she turned to Jack.
"You didn't think we'd leave her alone, surely."
Similarly, Ferathi - devoid of her mount - arrived on the scene, her own angelic wings folding down upon her landing from above. She tossed a friendly glance Jack's way before rushing to Tessa's side, down by the fallen girl in an instant.
Cassandra held her hand to the risen stone, careful to notice any sudden movements within the structural addition. Still she kept her eyes outside, watching Tessa with a great amount of concern for her comrade.
"Will she be alright?" She asked, half-quietly.

Jack------------------------------------------
------------------- Cortez
Of Blood and Gold I know,
of the freedom of a ship,
and only the wind holding you back.
"I don't know," Jack said, holding Tessa to him. A bitter chill of rage rolled through him and he closed his eyes, feeling as if now he had nothing again, and would never have anything but nothing. "Tessa, Tessa," He said gently, softly running his hands through her hair, his hand coming away with blood. "Can't you do anything?" He asked.
This is what I loved...And lost.

The Sisterhood of Slaughter
Choose your fate...
Ferathi Orlerretyn The finesse of the winds,
Cassandra Nayime The rage of the fires,
Tessa Orinae The chill of the seas,
Vanessa Halderi The might of the Earth.
Ferathi shook her head sadly, looking from one to the next, her eyes finally settling on Cassandra.
"I can't, but I think maybe a cooperative effort may be in order here. Cassandra, you remember how we brought Vanessa back into reality once or twice? I think it may work again, just don't burn her."
Cassandra raised an eyebrow, but nodded all the same. She closed her eyes, feeling the wind lifting upwards slightly in the vicinity thanks to Ferathi's work. With another nod, a small line of flame strung along Tessa's figure, warming but not near enough to harm her any.
It worked. Tessa's eyes slowly fluttered open, and despite the still-flowing blood from the back of her neck she managed a faint smile as she saw Jack above her.
"Jack..." she whispered faintly, "you have my sword, remember? You can close it."
She tried to laugh her typical soft laugh, but it sounded more as a breath than anything else. Her eyes closed, but she was still quite conscious.
Vanessa nearly stumbled backwards at the thought, but her eyes fell to the captain within a moment.
"You can, captain? Please tell me you know how... I doubt it would be as fitting for one of us to, and fortunately she does seem alright."
