[OOC: don’t want him to get struck by lightning just yet XD  ]



Nos would come to his side, offering a lighthearted joke into the heavy air. Greatly appreciated.

He would move to speak to his smaller friend until Eclipse made an appearance. She clearly seemed lost, not understanding that she was a Pittian as well... the fact she defended Idyll hurt more than anything. Her names were childish and far from sharp but the pure intent behind them was enough to cause the jaguar to cringe. His heart would ache for a moment as he looked down. Fighting his black tears.

Thankfully, or not, Jervis arrived.


Screeching that they attack. Nothing more. But enough to distract the Marauder. His heart didn’t have time to sink. Immediately chaos broke out, lightning from multiple beings occurred. He couldn’t deal with that if he wanted to. His plan was to go invisible.

Protect Noa! But Auggie! His head turned to see the dog terrified only to be protect by Vox. Then his attention was snapped back when someone addressed Bai. Not the fucking lion. His plan to go unseen was thrown out and stomped on.

Kydobi snarled as he watched them gather flames... and burp them out. Fire? That he knew. That he could handle. He would look at Gael, still standing near the brutes side. Nervous with anticipation his tail was waving and whirling for the inevitable. Goldie may think Kydobi had the power to save them from this. But he couldn’t, it wasn’t his place and few would listen. It wasn’t about slavery either, no one gave a rats ass about it. Majority despised it from what the brute had seen. It was about protecting home. Protecting what you knew and found comfort it. So anger would spark in Ky when Wormwood threatened the only being Kydobi ever loved. A vicious and liwb snarl would rumble out.

Having already backed up previously, before Jervis made an appearance, he had been about 10 feet farther away from the lion. Kydobi watched as the lion’s attention focused onto him, that was expected. But he would refuse to let those flames get anywhere near Aine.


To keep the fiery beast away from his friends he would trot forward a little meeting Aurum. Although the fire made his heart jump, he knew the flames couldn’t hurt him, but the fangs could. The teeth could. Any other type of heat not from fire could burn him.


But Aurum had no way of knowing Kydobi too had the same element in his possession. Which was more than fine, Kydobi wanted the lion to bust out all his tricks and literally burn out before Kydobi allowed his to shine.

Kydobi stop his journey to meet the lion so he could build tension in his powerful quarters. their claws would rale his shoulders causing a hit sting as blood immediately swelled in the wounds. But Kydobi would not let them beat him down, once he felt the force of the claws he immediately surged up, countering their attempts to pin him by trying to knock them off balance with the sudden force.

He would stare them in the eyes, his own glowing like hot coals. The only sign apart from the heat radiating off his body, that he too had fire within.


but oh god he hated this. He was trained for this, he could go for miles. Even without his elementals he had been dangerous. But he never wanted to fight.

It seemed Hell had a lot more to give as even more enemy faces came along with familiar allies. It brought relief to see he was able to knock the brute over, as the lion gathered himself Kydobi would gather his senses. Literally. The roar of the chaos was deafening and it was something that had been drowned out by his heartbeat. However now that he had time to pause while his opponent addressed someone, the noise came rushing back. Thankfully for Aurum, Kydobi believed in nobility. He would not do dirty tricks while they were turned. Besides he had other things to handle.

The screams and yells and wails and snarls of everyone exploded around him, causing his ears to ring. A piercing noise that, despite his best efforts... he had to wince. A painful wail would escape him, it felt like a hot needle was being driven into his head through his ears. Agony.

This was something that never happened. This overload. But in the heat of the battle he had forgotten to keep his advanced senses in check. A hoarse cry would escape him and he nearly doubled over. He worked on his breathing, focused on his heart, focused on the now. It felt like forever but he slowly regained control.

Yet just when he gathered himself, a wing would knock him. The blow would’ve got him either way, he had learned people often used wings for distractions so don’t pay too much attention, but it seemed Aurum was the exception.

Kydobi was flung onto his side, eyes wide with shock. That snapped him back into it, he wouldn’t try to move to soften the fall. Instead he would immediately try to regather himself one he stopped sliding.


The lion was on him before he could fully get to his feet. The onyx brute would have to fight from low ground, which was not good when facing an opponent larger than himself, not by too much but the wings... Kydobi couldn’t make up for those.

He braced himself, the idea to go intangibile was far from his mind. Considering he hadn’t been formally trained with it, it’s use wasn’t an option till he realized.


Suddenly the ground began to quake shortly after little Aine yelled something in a language unknown. He would briefly look at her seeing her focus, pride swelled in him. She was far more powerful than he could ever wish to be. She quite possibly saved his life. But he had to make sure the lion wouldn’t retaliate on the poor little girl.

In an attempt to keep [member=6881]aurum.[/member] ’s attention on him, Kydobi would snarl loudly, allowing himself to very briefly go invisible. In this period he would attempt to get on all fours again, then he would flicker. Almost taunting the lion before allowing himself to be seen fully. however his balance was off and his stance far from stable.

So far he was being purely defensive and that was not enough. He needed to engage the brute. Attack. Soon. And if Aurum thought Kydobi was going to back off he was far from wrong. Sure this was a formidable opponent but Kydobi took security in knowing they were not running about to harm whoever they pleaded. Instead they were engaged in him and planned to keep it that way for as along as possible.
