What mad, hell-horses are these? the son thinks to himself as he utters harsh, guttural words to his father and the maid, falling back in an act of valor that will be sung about in years to come. Quickly, he reaches into a little pouch tied to this belt and yanks it off, opening the contents and dumping them into a grubby hand. With another foreceful word, he tosses the powder into the air and as it falls around him, he seems to grow, becoming twice the size he was before. Everything he touches grows with him, until his face is level with the Basiner’s heads as they barrel down on him.

By now, the commotion has stirred the teenage sitter and it rises, snarling a fierce warning to… well, literally everyone; those nosy, often dangerous horses that inhabit the valley below (off limits for hunting, generally), and the remaining pair of trolls as they zip towards him, no more than quick little blurs. It’s amazing, really, how quickly their stubby little legs can move!

The much-larger son swings his single-sided axe in an arc, warning the first multi-horned thing that comes barreling towards him. But his size has given him a disadvantage, and he is unaccustomed to the weight of his body, which slows his reflexes. Tsk, tsk – looks like the boy didn’t pay close enough attention in magic class. Unlike his cool-headed father, the son begins to panic, flailing about in an attempt to hit one of the three hell-beasts that come towards him: spiked, winged, and giggling madly. Clumsily, he fights, until the edge of something dark and painful sends a chill through his body and stops him in his tracks.

As for the other two, Champion and maiden,  Rikyn’s mind-magic hits the warrior like a freight train, sending him tripping over his own feet, hands clutching his head as it is riddled with spears of pain. He blindly runs away from the melee, vision filled with stars and darkness, until he can feel the agony begin to ebb, where he collapses, by a tree stump. The maiden, however, is extraordinarily lucky and really, quite deserving of her fame. The sitter barely has time to react before a rope loop yanks his mouth shut, and then his paws pulled out from underneath him. There is some solace, however, in the fact that the maiden cannot tie rope as fast as she can run.

@Bunnie  I assumed you meant the upgraded magic, so went with that!

The Son almost doubles in size and tries to fight Wessex, Rhodoc, and Beloved, before getting hit by the edge of Erebos’s magic.

The Champion is out of commission, done in by Rikyn’s magic – silly man.

The Maiden has caught the sitter, but now must tie him up.

@Rikyn  
@Erebos  
@Beloved  
Apologies for the delay! Just needed to find some muse ^_^
