With so many eyes on her, it was hard for Nienna to hide. The smoke filled with a foul smell, the smell of a body burning. There were no time for burials, this was they best they could do for their brother while a pest existed so close by. Who did this girl think she is? The twins went out searching while the other two seemed to be planning something else that prevented them from hunting her down immediately. There was a loud swear as one of the twins didn't even realise they were within the path the tree fell, the other two seeing the tree fall but being unable to fully dodge it. The leader seemed to be only lightly wounded and held his hand in her direction, The other brother next to him was busy screaming as he furiously tried to use flames to break the tree trunk and free himself, something the animals they hunted down couldn't do. Both the twins and the leader held their hands out towards Nienna, palms gaining a concentrated light that shot at her with more precision than the previous volley of fire.

She smiled softly to herself as the tree fell. But she wasted no time staying in one spot. No that would be foolish of her. Lucky she moved quick too as more firebolts came hurling after her. Nienna ducked to avoid the flame, scorching over her back and leaving her shirt smoldering with smoke. The heat burned into her skin, but she was thankful enough she wasn’t completely on fire. Nienna knew her mana was running low. She sprinted towards the brother pinned under a tree her hands glowing brightly as she swiped by taking some of his mana for her own. With a bit more mana replenished she turned towards the leader. Her eyes burning with rage as she raised her hand to activate her most powerful spell. If she could grab the leader her in psychokinetic grip he was as good as dead. She would close her fist if she caught her quarry and crush every single bone in his body. Let that be a lesson to those who would still wish harm upon her. But, this was all assuming she was even able to catch him in her magic. It was a bit of a careless move, leaving her more vulnerable to an attack. It was risky, but it would have a high reward should she be successful. Spell name: Mana Leech
Spell Main Element: Arcane
-Spell Sub Elements: --
Affinity Strength: 5
Function: The caster tags their target at a close range, grabbing onto their mana stored in the body and ripping a chunk to replenish themselves. Stronger arcane mages are capable of taking larger amounts of mana per strike. If the mage’s mana is already full, it will not add over their cap.
Availability: Open
Spell name: Psychokinetic Crush
Spell Main Element: Arcane
-Spell Sub Elements: --
Affinity Strength: 6
Function: The user telekinetically lifts a target into the air, and exerts a massive amount of force upon it, crushing the target until it is utterly destroyed. This can range from inanimate objects to living individuals. However the basic principles of telekinesis still apply, and a caster cannot lift or crush anything they would not normally be able to lift.

The twins trailed after Nienna, chasing her down while trying to corner her in a way where they could singe her alive. Both were nimble, leaping over the log in perfect synchronization with each other. It seemed she was ignoring them to kill their eldest brother. The eldest was lifted into the air, seemingly shocked she could cast this kind of magic. A bloodcurdling scream was let out as he felt his bones crushing, accompanied with a loud series of crunches to share that it was hitting in several spots. He dropped to the ground with a heavy slump but after a minute of silence still seemed to be moving. During this time, Nienna would be grabbed by one of the twins, the other trying but his grasp weak enough to not keep a hold of her. The twin that did hold onto her set his hands alight with magic, scorching Nienna's arm. Flames would spread up her arm, as if hungry for anything that it was in contact with. The elder brother appeared to be struggling to get up, but that's what happens if you have a lot of broken bones and become hellbent.

Nienna grit her teeth as she heard the bones crunch and crack from her spell. She released him to the floor as soon as she felt herself get grabbed by one of the twins. Nienna was kick to use her free arm to elbow her assailant. Though she wasn’t fast enough to escape the spell. She screamed in pain as fire twisted up her arms and bit down upon her flesh. She’d be fucking lucky if that didn’t scar... Look at her, getting scars. The kingdom would be mortified at such a sight. She didn’t waste anymore time sending a swift harsh kick and yanking herself free from the firey grip. Nienna knew she was surrounded with the twins. So she got closer and grabbed one of them casting another mana leech spell to help replenish her own dwindling supply. Then she cast a freezing spell upon her arm to quiet the flames. Her flesh red and pink from the heat. It even began to blister, crack, and slowly bleed. She was forced to go on the defensive side now, but an elemental ward would keep her stuck in one place. That wouldn’t do. What other choices did she have though? She had to take care of the twins. The other two, while still threats wouldn’t be able to move around exactly. She sighed knowing that there weren’t many options left. She quickly raised up an elemental ward of ice to block off her attackers before quickly bursting it in the faces of the twins. Shards of ice flying everywhere. Then she used that distraction to run towards the leader who lay broken on the ground and she began to mercilessly kick his head in with as much force as she could muster. Spell name: Elemental Ward
Spell Main Element: Arcane
-Spell Sub Elements: Varied
Affinity Strength: 1
Function: All mages should learn to make a shield with their magic. This shield allows them to block some attacks and deflect projectiles. Depending on the element, they can also deal elemental damages to the opposing mage by expanding and bursting the ward. Doing so means the caster would need to recast it to continue deflecting attacks, but bursting it allows for them to move while the enemy is guarding or staggered.
Availability: Open
Affinity - Ward Duration - Burst Damage Multiplier
1 - 5 turns (-2 from critical dmg) - 1x
4 - 10 turns (-4 from critical dmg) - 2x
7 - 15 turns (-6 from criical dmg) - 3x
Availability: Open
Spell name: Mana Leech
Spell Main Element: Arcane
-Spell Sub Elements: --
Affinity Strength: 5
Function: The caster tags their target at a close range, grabbing onto their mana stored in the body and ripping a chunk to replenish themselves. Stronger arcane mages are capable of taking larger amounts of mana per strike. If the mage’s mana is already full, it will not add over their cap.

A loud crackle was the warning for Nienna as the brother previously pinned burst from the log, sending splinters of burning wood in several directions. Several splinters went into the eldest, sending him back and slumped on the floor. Though the man still appeared alive enough to glare in their general direction. One of the twins also took some damage but it wasn't enough to put him in a state like his dear eldest brother. He still appeared to recoil in shock at the sudden wood flying at him though. The other twin was unharmed and appeared to scold the brother that hurt two of their own. Afterwards he turned and aimed at Nienna, aiming a hand at her and firing a ball of flame in her direction. Nienna had an option to run if she felt she wasn't able to keep up with the fight, she had the option to dodge and flee, accumulating resources or others to help her in this fight.

7a
Spell name: Phoenix Rising
Spell Main Element: Fire
-Spell Sub Elements: --
Affinity Strength: 5
Function: The user, when knocked onto the ground, can burst upwards with an explosive flame that knocks back nearby targets and sets them on fire. The flames flying out from this explosive blast almost appear in the shape of a phoenix, whatever ones not hitting a target have minute sentience to fly back and make a secondary aim to hit a target. After the second attempt to hit, the flames will not attempt a third hit and stick to the place where they struck.

Nienna tensed upon hearing the cracking of the wood. She didn't hesitate to duck low to the forest floor as the log splintered and spread itself across the forest. A few scraped across and dug into her legs. She was quick to rip them out watching as the blood welled upon from the new wounds. She couldn't win... She was too fucking weak. She was alone and there were four of them- she was fucking worthless in this fight. If only she had help. Hah- help was a ridiculous idea. There would be no help. Help is only a fantasy in her mind. She couldn't trust anyone to stay by her side, much less risk her life alongside her. She could feel the tears of frustration gather in her eyes. She couldn't get emotional. She took a deep breath and sighed. It may be better to just lay down and admit defeat. Pride didn't allow her to go back to the village and told them she had failed. She could feel herself beginning to choke on the acrid smoke. Still- the leader was so close to death's door. She could still do one last thing. She kept an eye on the three now moving about. The fireball aimed at her was also dangerously close to the brother. She rolled away to dodge- but the burst of the flames still caught onto her a little. She beat the flames down as best as she could and then grabbed the eldest who struggled upon the floor. She quickly and forcefully pulled him up before removing the dagger from her belt and placing it against his neck. She stared the three brothers right in the eye as she slit the eldest's throat and tossed his body to the burning forest floor. She had no magic left now- but at least she took down the eldest...or hoped she did. Now it was time to flee. She ducked around and began to weave and dodge, zig-zagging back and forth as she sprinted out of the forest as fast as her legs could carry her. Her breath labored, coming out in wheezes. She refused to stop running until she was out of the burning woods and onto a road- even then she kept a quick walk looking at her surroundings, almost expecting the brothers to pop out of the woods at any moment. |

Almost as if the flames were assisting Nienna, a large one billowed over the view of the brothers, effectively hiding her while she made her retreat. |
