Rider fulfills her end of the bargain

Rider stands in front of the long staircase that leads towards the Temple and domain of Caster. It pains her to leave Shirou at home by himself, but there is really nothing else she can do for him at this point. Rider internally justifies her actions by knowing Liz and Rin are looking after Shirou, helping him quickly on the road to recovery faster than she would be able to.

Rider can at least fulfill her part of the bargain her Master struck with Illya though. That is something she can do so Shirou won't have to worry about it when he recovers; and this way he won't be in any danger. Shirou would slow her down. And this needed to be as fast as Rider could run.

She nods silently to herself as she prepares her mental checklist. Run in. Plant as many seals of Blood Fort Andromeda around the temple as possible, and get out. And preferably do all this without getting hit too much.

Ridrr takes off up the stairs with a dash and pushes through the invisible bounded field and enters the forest without a second thought. A screech is heard throughout the forest as Rider breeches Caster's domain. No pleasantries are afforded as a magic bolt conjures from the air and hits the ground with a blast of energy.

Rider remains focused as she kneels down, planting her first seal of Blood Fort Andromeda. "Oh, you're fast." Casters voice rings through the forest. Let us see who is faster, my magic, or your feet." Caster taunts as another spear of energy strikes the ground where Rider was working.

Rider has already moved on though to her next chosen spot and begins preparing the runes on the move as a volley of magic rains in the forest. The forest lights up in the dark skies, while minor fires begin to crackle and burn the greenery.

Rider speeds along, throwing rune after rune down as she completes the first quarter of the circle without issue. A low growl is heard "You're beginning to annoy me! Now die!" Caster roars. She begins to try to anticipate where Rider will be when her **** bolts hit, causing Rider to weave and dodge her way through the forest.

A **** bolt nearly strikes Rider as she finishes placing another rune about halfway through the circle around the temple. Caster's cutting it quite close. Rider was smart and wasn't using quite all her speed at the start of the operation. As Rider accelerates to her top speed, it throws Caster's aim off just enough for Rider to complete 75 percent of the job.

With a rain of magic bolts everywhere, Caster is intent on killing Rider so she doesn't finish her work. She has even set the last quarter of the forest ablaze so Rider can't possibly proceed. There's nowhere to run. Nowhere to go. It's either fire or a magic arrow bolt, both intended to kill.

"I have you now." Caster taunts as Rider's pinned down. Rider removes Breaker Gorgon from her eyes. Time nearly slows to a crawl for Rider as her vision comes into play. Rider's eyes quickly dart around, surveying the path... Sure enough, a pattern. Rider quickly calculates a way through the hail of magical arrows as her eyes dart back and forth. She has less than a second to place her step and move between the arrow hitting the ground and the next one landing. But that is all she needs.

Seeing her opportunity, Rider dashes forward, dancing along her predetermined path along the hail of arrows. One last seal is set as an arrow slices through her dress, revealing her purple panties for all to see as Rider absconds from Caster's domain.

Rider looks on with a grin. "Blood Fort Andromeda, Activate." She says as streaks of purple illuminate the sky, forming a dome around the temple before fading from normal human view. A surge of Mana flows into Rider, catching her by surprise. She was expecting Mana... But not nearly this much. Rider grins as she feels as if she can do anything. There's only one last thing before Rider can truly feel complete. With a smirk, she dons Breaker Gorgon and begins heading back to Shirou's house.
