A Return to Arms

[Firebringer]

Grief. Pain. Emptiness. Firebringer's world explodes in a flare of raw emotion, boiling outward. Always, he'd had the comforting connections to his totem, and his pack. And now ... nothing.

In his chest, a white-hot flame, searing, growing, demanding release. He lets loose in keening cry of grief and loss that cuts like a knife through all present. Somehow, in the midst of the torrent of pain, his inner self remains, an iron bastion which bends the surrounding maelstrom into a finely-honed weapon.

The cry shifts from grief to pain as he leaps at Great Release, claws flashing out in a vicious swipe. The Anshega might not be in reach yet, but this spirit certainly was.

Firebringer rips into the hulking form with lethal intent. His rage spilling through into the attack.

Large chunks of ichor and shadow fly. Sweet Release's moans increase in volume.

Sweet Release -5 Corpus. Xander - Anthony is up

[Princess]

Elaine books it towards the disturbance, hearing that it's close and not wasting a moment with a change in form.

Elaine's double speed is 24, she is now 51 yards away

[Xander]

Tony watches the spirits erupt from the crates. At least the source of the rot was clear, and it was even something Tony could vent his frustration on.

He scowled at Sweat Release as his flesh rippled and bulged until the scruffy muscular mass of Tony's Dalu form remained. Ready to fight, Tony dropped his bag and clenched his fists.

'Go time.'

[Kevin Swift]

With but a thought, Kevin transforms into Urshul, tenses as he lets out a snarl, before launching himself at the nearest Spirit to him. Jaws open wide to bite into said Spirit.

[DrDog]

Kevin's claws slip past the spirit's guard, striking true. A small tear opens up in the creatures skin, and a wailing moan echoes: 'No more.. please no mo-' before it is cruelly silenced.
Sweet Release takes 1 lethal.

Jeremiah, Samantha, Jim, and Steel are next before the round refreshes.

[Aeneas]

The Shadow is a place of shapeless form, of emotion and impression. He runs and the hisil shifts and changes around him but he sees it not. The world has narrowed to Falcon the All-Seeing, streaking ahead like a glittering omen or a speeding bullet, the pounding of the blood in his ears as he runs, and feeling of his limbs, whirling in motion. Blood and breath; his guide before him; steel in his hand. That is all there is. That is all that is needed.

Aeneas runs to the call of battle upon sacred ground. The wolf growls through the lips of a man.

[DrDog]

for clarification, sweet release is not dead.

[Jeremiah Daniels]

<<Fuck>> Jeremiah growls as the box screeches directly next to his head. A step back and he looks into the opened box.

His world narrows down to the half of Eternal Sentry and then the Baines brothers. Brothers Jeremiah thought had left town but no. Instead they were hunted down and butchered.

Failed. Failed again. FAILED

Still holding the knife Jeremiah's vision floods with red. Rage mixes with his own internal temperaments and almost wins. Almost. Eyes dart between the flying spirit and the one attacking Firebringer. They register Steel going off. Too many issues, not enough people to trust. Gripping the knife tightly Jeremiah side steps and slashes at Sweet Release. A low dissatisfied growl rumbles from him as he swings.
