Tempting fate

Skyler was simply too angry to think this through. 'For Therzana!' His odds of success were low, but that didn't matter. He began to run toward Talys. He knew that one way or another, this fight was about to end. When his foot entered the illuminated area, Talys turned to face him. However, Talys' gaze rose up toward the second story window where Yuri had fallen in. He grinned. "I'm surprised to see you can still stand, little kitty." Skyler was almost out of time as the last second of Shadow Dance came up.

Skyler's Hp: 45/284

Mp: 128/252

Talys' Hp: 291/291

Mp: 75/105

Yori's Hp: 16/125

Mp: 150/260

Skyler pulled his right hand down into a fist, jumping up while twisting slightly toward the left. His fist connected with Talys' chin for a clean hit. 34 + 20% = 41 (40.8), 41 x 2 = 82 (Crit), 82 - 50% (Arcane Res) = 41 Physical damage, 41 (Norm) x 350% (Angry Fire) = 144 (143.5), 144 - 50% = 72 Fire damage, 82 (Strike's dmg) x 100% = 82, 82 - 50% = 41, 41 Shadow damage, 41 x .5 = 21 (20.5), 21 Hp The resulting flames and shadows were more impressive than when Amra had fallen, but Talys was still standing. A red exclamation flashed, but he was too busy to notice.

Skyler's Hp: 66/284

Mp: 128/252

Talys' Hp: 137/291

Mp: 75/105

Yori's Hp: 16/125

Mp: 150/260

Talys' eyes focused on Skyler as his hand reached out. "There you are." His hand wrapped around Skyler's throat, just above his collar, squeezing just hard enough to cut off the blood circulation. "Nightie night, fragile prince..." Skyler reached up to Talys' arm, but he was too late. Everything was going black. When he awoke, he was laying upon Talys' topline and all tied up. Talys was walking through a forest. Skyler glared at Talys' side. 'Great! I'm in distress again.' That was when the Princess Zelda's Dress in his inventory came to mind. 'I am starting to feel like that dress is appropriate for me.' That was when he noticed three red exclamations flashing. He had nothing better to do, so he allowed them to pop up.

Skyler read all of that as his heart sank a little. 'Sounds like Gaia believes I should be a woman. Heck, it'll even let me stack it with my other forms.' It wasn't like he was against the idea of being a woman, but he would never want to do so unless it was a complete change without the need of therapy or constant help to maintain it. He knew it wouldn't affect his sexual preference, but it might change his outlook on life. Although he found the prospect of switching genders like this to be exciting, it felt like a slap in the face. It were as if life itself were telling him that he was fundamentally wrong in every way. Two new red exclamations flashed which he allowed to pop up.

Skyler sighed. 'I admit I feel odd, but I could move just a moment ago.' However, when he tried to move, he couldn't. 'Great. Just great! Now I get to be a limp doll too.' He used this time to check his health and mana bars. His health was at 284/284 and his mana was at 312/312. 'I've been knocked out for about an hour. That's good to know.' He could feel himself slipping from Talys' topline as Talys slowed to a stop. He felt a hand grab the back of his shirt, readjusting his position to keep him from slipping.

Talys chuckled. "You're not going anywhere. I have a lot of questions for you before you die..." That was when the sound of two twigs snapping were heard from about 3 yd behind them. Skyler couldn't see what was going on, but he felt Talys turn around while speaking. "Who's there?" The sound of a bowstring being pulled back was heard. Shady's voice replied. "I didn't mean to spook you. I'm simply looking for Skyler." There was a short pause. Her foot steps could be heard as she approached. "Talys, why is Skyler tied up?"

The sound of the bowstring being slowly released was heard as Talys spoke. "He collapsed. I was bringing him to safety." Her hooves gently repositioned themselves. "Give him to me then. My friends and I can take better care of him." Talys took a step back. "Are you sure? He isn't worth your time. He turned down your help, right?" There was a short pause before he let out a sigh. "Don't look at me like that. Tell you what, since you're already in this dangerous illusion barrier. Why don't you come with me? We can treat him together." That was when several footsteps were heard coming from multiple directions.

Before those steps completely stopped, Emily began to speak. "We know what happened, Talys. Put Skyler gently on the ground and back away slowly." Skyler's eyes widened slightly. 'Wuoliffside said some women told her about me, but I wasn't certain it was them.' Although he couldn't smile, he was happy to know they were alive. He was surprised they were here to rescue him again. 'Do they just get a kick out of rescuing me at this point?' Talys started to laugh. "Take him if you can." That was when Talys' weight suddenly shifted up and backwards. "Explosive Volley." This was followed by many explosive sounds from all directions.

Skyler felt his gut heavily pressed in as he was thrown off of Talys' topline. His instincts were telling him to right himself, but he couldn't due to full body paralysis. A mere second later, the back of his head hit something quite hard with a cracking sound. 213 - 11% = 190 (189.57), - 190 Hp Once again everything went black. 'Not, again...'

Several hours later, back at Wuoliffside's Estate

Wuoliffside's eyes widened upon seeing what had happened to her estate while she was away. Part of the roof was burnt and Therzana's lifeless body was laying on the lawn. She quickly verified the situation by checking to see if she wasn't jumping the gun with Therzana. However, it was true. Therzana was gone. She slammed her fists on the ground. "Whoever did this will pay!" Her eyes widened as she looked to her home. "Skyler!" She ran inside and looked around.

After her investigation, Wuoliffside found only Skyler was missing, but Yori was dead. A few oily tears ran down her cheeks. "Skyler..." That was when she remembered the hoof prints outside. She ran outside to begin her investigation. She could see by the movements that it was a centaur of some sort. She went back inside to find some tools to track down the culprit, but she knew if they were too good this wouldn't work. Will Skyler be successfully rescued by Shady and the others or not? Will Wuoliffside be able to track down Skyler's whereabouts?
