Javal had heard about the “Lady Who Rides Red” fairy tale and always liked the story about the brave woodsman defeating the evil wolf man. However, he didn't believe that he was gonna be hunted by the great Woodrow family alongside another fellow fell blood. He was running away from Jack Woodrowe while alongside a purple tiefling who was running away from Jean Woodrowe. They were running into the Shadewood soon but that might’ve been a better move than just fighting them head-on. Once the fell bloods entered the forest it seemed like the Woodrowe siblings had lost them for a bit, the two fellbloods hid in a bush.

Morrigan Moonweaver never put much stock in fairytales. They knew the stories, of course - what proper entertainer didn’t? - it was necessary to know the classics, but that didn’t mean Morrigan found them particularly interesting. They were all meant to be cautionary tales, stories that warned kids against misbehaving, and where was the fun in that?
Upon further consideration, though, perhaps they should brush up on their folklore, considering that Morrigan was currently being chased down by one of those mythical beings of old brought to life.
They had been minding their own business, really.
The night had started off normal. It was a bit of a blur now, really - they’d been enjoying their evening when all of a sudden, two hunters appeared seemingly out of nowhere, ambushing Morrigan and another fellblood, shooting crossbow bolts at them that Morrigan only narrowly avoided before running like hell along with the other fellblood - suddenly brothers in arms, bound by their mutual desire to save their lives from the hunters. Morrigan screeched as they ran, leaning down and scooping up a large boulder from the ground and launching it at one of the brothers, the one that was pursuing them - it missed wildly, but the distraction gave them enough time to duck into the Shadewoods.[1]
Away from two beasts, into the den of countless more. But the unknown felt much more comforting than the known at the moment. The fellblood dove into a nearby bush, determined to save their own skin. As they glanced behind them, the other would-be victim had followed them, and both dove into the foliage, desperately attempting to catch their breath. They’d escaped their hunters for now, but how long would that last? Chest heaving, Morrigan turned to look at the man they might die side by side with. Well, if this was the end, might as well learn his name.
“Morrigan.” They didn’t spout off their usual titles this time. “… Can you fight? What’s the plan?” 1. Gauntlets of Ginma

Javal whispered to his new potential friend, "Javal, Yes, we have to set some traps for them and get ready to fight". I can create water, make snowballs, make a house from the enviroment, ice over things, teleport them down in portals, shape water, and freeze my feet. These beasts seem keen on hunting us down, lets turn it against them and hunt them down. What can you do".

Traps. Morrigan could do that.
Fighting… Morrigan was less confident about, much less the prospect of hunting them in turn. Shouldn’t they just be focusing on an escape? If only they could get to Morrigan’s wagon - Bubbles was still slumbering there in his Drake form, and it would be all too easy to get away from these hunters on dragonmount. But they had no way of getting to Bubbles at the moment, which meant Morrigan and Javal were on their own.
Morrigan swore under their breath in infernal. “I’m a chemist. Potions, poisons, unstable chemical reactions - you name them.” They rubbed at the back of their neck, running their fingers along the spot where the golden brand now lay. “… And I’ve received training in the ways of the desert blade.” Not enough to call them a true warrior, but Morrigan could at the very least hold their own with the hidden blade concealed in their scorpion gauntlet. They turned and looked back into the woods, sweat gathering at their brow.
“You say you can control the water and teleport. I’m pretty loud and jangly. Stealth isn’t my strong suit. If I can act as a distraction, that’ll let you get in there with that blade of yours.”
They reached into their bag, handing Javal a small vial containing red liquid - a healing potion.[1] “Here. It isn’t much, but it might save you in a pinch.” Really, it wasn’t much. It would only heal minor cuts and scrapes, but in a fight against two hunters who seemed to have it out for the two fellbloods, any advantage would come in handy. 1. Potion of Minor Healing - given to Javal

Look Morrigan, I have an Idea that might give us a chance, personally I wouldn’t like to get killed I think we should get some traps ready to gain the suprise advantage. I’ll ice over the floor causing it to be very slippery and you’ll need to place any bombs on the ground. We’ll both hide and when you see them approaching I’ll create a house around them trapping them inside with the oncoming explosion. We’ll both make a break for it I can get us a decent ways away by freezing my feet and carrying you. So what do you say survival partner?”

The plan Javal was describing was a desperate and crazy one. Thankfully for him, that was where Morrigan thrived. They pulled out three ornaments from their bag, juggling them for a moment. “Explosives? I think you read my mind, my friend.”
This solution was much more favorable to an outright fight, Morrigan thought. They’d gotten a good look at the nasty arsenal that brother and sister had on them.
They were interrupted from anything else they might have said by the sound of twigs snapping behind them - and the sound of footsteps. Morrigan turned to Javal, a determined expression on their face. They couldn’t die here.
“Survival partners.”
They had to set this trap now. Morrigan waited for Javal to give the signal before lighting up their explosive ornaments, rolling all three on the ground right in front of the two.
It was show time. 1. Explosive Ornaments (3/3)

Javal had heard branches break and loud voices yelling “Filthy Bloods, come out come out wherever you are. You can run but you can’t hide, we can smell your filthy blood anywhere”. They were right there. Javal yells “Morrigan now” and his comrade throws their explosive ornaments next to the twins and javal quickly makes a single-room house out of dirt and tree. He screams “Morrigan hop on” hoists Morrigan on his back and *freezes his feet darting away from the scene. He makes it a decent way out when they both hear a boom, Morrigan turns back and sees both twins slightly damaged but now angrier and bolting behind them. Javal thinks everything is OK, they're a decent way away but quickly his assurance fades as something happens.
*Freeze Feet

Morrigan crouched behind a bush, waiting on bated breath for the moment they heard footsteps crunching in the underbrush, from pursuers who didn’t bother hiding their stealth. A few moments later, they heard their enraged cries, demanding blood as sacrifice for their cause. Morrigan would not be their martyr in this fucked up manhunt.
They were already lighting the explosives with a fuse from their alchemical pouch when Javal gave them the signal.
Morrigan threw the ornaments, which landed on the ground at their feet, popping and crackling with explosive reagents and glitter, before blowing up right as Javal summoned the house around them, trapping them in with the bombs - Morrigan let out a triumphant cackle, darting out from their hiding place and launching themselves onto Javal’s shoulders right as the other man took off, leaving a trail of ice in his wake.
They could hear the two angrily swearing up a storm behind them, somehow having managed to absorb the brunt of the damage. What were they, superhuman? Morrigan had heard the myths, but they were supposed to be regular mortals! Perhaps they had super-endurance! Didn’t matter. Javal was fast, and the two of them would be able to escape those two assholes before they were turned into mincemeat-!
That was the moment Javal tripped, and the two were sent sprawling to the ground.
“Shit!” Morrigan swore under their breath in infernal, immediately reaching for the bladed fan secured to their belt, unfurling it with a snap. Had they gotten a good enough head start to make a run for it? Or would the hunstmen be upon them in seconds? Either way, Morrigan wasn’t going down without a fight.

Javal was on the ground after tripping and landing on his stomach. He quickly got back up Katana unsheathed and in hand Morrigan at his side with their Bladed Fan. "Oi, Oi, Sister lets split our prey up I'll take the big blue one and you take the purple one" said the gruff woodsman. "Sounds good brother either way they'll end up dead" the woodswoman chuckled. Morrigan quickly threw Javal a Bulls Strength Potion he quickly gulped it down feeling super strong and thank god he did because he quickly saw the Woodsman charging at him while Morrigan and the Spellcaster were becoming harder and harder to see in the distance. Javal was being pushed back until they were both in a small dirt filled area. "Let's get to killing blue boy" the woodsman barked.

Morrigan grimaced when the huntsmen decided to split them up, and take them on one on one. It meant that Morrigan would have to actually put up their own fight rather than sticking to the background and hiding behind Javal. But the woman was closing in on Morrigan, and they didn’t have much longer to lament on their miserable fortune. Reaching into their bag, Morrigan pulled out two strength-enhancing potions, one that they tossed to Javal.
“Catch!” They shouted, before taking the second one themselves.[1] Energy coursed through their veins, and Morrigan took into the woods, attempting to shake the sister off before she could slice them up with that nasty axe.
Unfortunately for them, she was bigger, and stronger, and managed to tackle Morrigan before they could hide.
Morrigan dropped to the ground with a THUD and a yelp of pain, desperately attempting to squirm out of the sadistic woman’s grasp.
“Let go of me, brute!” They wheezed, attempting to whack her with their tail.
“Ah, you’re a little one, aren’t ya?” She taunted, unbothered by their pathetic attempts to get themselves free. “But wily. You’ll do just fine as a prize.”
Morrigan smirked up at her.
“Buy me dinner first, lady.”
They wrenched their arm free, enhanced by their strength potion, and pointed their hand at her - with a single flex of their arm, they triggered the hidden blade inside, stabbing her right in the shoulder and getting poison in the wound.[2,3] The huntswoman grunted in pain, distracted just enough for Morrigan to slip out from under her, retracting the hidden blade once more.
“Ah, that’s much better.” They grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth. The hunted was about to become the hunter. “Now what do you say we get this dance started?” 1. Bull’s Strength Potion (2/2) 2. Desert Stinger 3. Scorpion’s Venom

Javal was currently standing feeling so much stronger thanks to morrigan’s help. He was facing the woodsman and his axe. They were clashing with everything they had it seemed like the Woodsman had some sort of super strength since it wasn’t until Javal took the potion that they were on even ground. The sounds of loud metal clanging filled the forest, Katana and the Woodsman’s axe were clashing both the men giving their strength to overpower the other. Javal followed up a sword slash with a kick to the woodsman’s gut leaving him an opening to slash at his chest. As he did that he felt both of his shoulders be badly slashed with the woodsman’s axe. This wound really hurt almost as if the axe had been serrated. Javal raised his katana and once more clashed with the Woodsman.

The huntress swung her axe at Morrigan, which they managed to catch with the side of their gauntlet - the jewelry shattered, but did its job of protecting Morrigan from the blow.[1] Light on their feet, they spun around and whacked her with their tail, slashing her across the face with the hidden blade attached to the tip.[2,3] She staggered backwards in pain, light gathering at the tips of her fingers. She shot off a bolt of pure light magic, aimed straight at Morrigan’s chest.
But they were prepared for that.
Morrigan raised their hand, absorbing the magic before it could do any harm.[4] “You’ll have to do better than that if you wanna hit me-“
Oh. She could do better than that, it turned out.
Her next attack with the axe did a hell of a lot more damage than the last one.
Morrigan was thrown to the ground, giving her a moment to pounce. They took a slash across the arm, throwing them into a nearby tree - but at the same time, they raised their arm, triggering the hidden blade in their forearm bracer and slicing a second gash into her cheek, administering more of the paralytic poison into her system.
Somehow, against all odds, Morrigan was holding their own. 1. Gauntlets of Ginma (Hit prevention used) 2. Prehensile tail 3. Dagger (with pale ice enchantment; attached to tail) 4. Spell Drinker (1/2)

Javal was giving it his all against the woodsman metal clanging was heard all over. Javal kicked the ground icing it over giving him a split second to deep slash at the woodsman as he feel but the woodsman anticipated this and cleave his hammer into his gut. Both were heavily wounded.
The woodsman remarked “Oi, I’ll give you that devil you are strong, perhaps in another life we could’ve even been friends. Well too bad in this one you’ll die. They clashed again Javal then summoned a snowball storm hitting the woodsman's body with snowballs to serve as a distraction he cleaved it into the woodsman's stomach the woodsman knelt on the floor tired and injured, it looked like Javal had barely won the battle, Javal even let out a scream of victory.
“You fought well hunter but it looks like I was the better hunter here”
“As if you foolish fell blood it’s time for the real battle to begin” the woodsman screams as he got up green energy coming from his axe and now his body. His eyes turned completely green and he smiled widely “Time for me to show you my true power".

The huntswoman slung spell after spell at Morrigan, which the fellblood avoided with surprisingly nimble movements - each one, Morrigan grew more cocky, obviously enjoying the fact that they had the upper hand in this battle for once.
“Why - won’t - you - die?” The huntswoman grunted, sweating from the toll that using so much mana had taken on her body. Morrigan winked at her, blowing her a kiss.
“Plenty of others have asked me that question before. If you want to be the one to kill me, you’re gonna have to get in a long, long, line!”
The woman growled, raising her hands into the sky. Morrigan paused, watching her form complex hand movements in the air as she cast something obviously more powerful than anything she’d used before. “Your pitiful spells won’t work on me, mortal - oh dear Ginma!”
That was the moment the woodswoman threw a fireball at them.
Morrigan yelped, hastily twirling and waving their fan in the air, slicing through the very fabric of the spell and cutting it in two before it could strike them.[1]
“What the…” The huntswoman whispered, dumbfounded as her spell deflected harmlessly through the air and fizzled out.
Morrigan smirked.
“Looks like you fucked up, picking the one opponent that your spells have no effect against.” Their tail flicked behind them as they pulled out a potion from their bag, lobbing it at her.[2] She hissed as glass shattered and flesh bubbled from the parasite poison coating her skin. Morrigan took a step closer, fluttering their fan, gloating.
“Had enough yet?”
That was when something weird happened. Rather than give up, her head whipped towards Morrigan, a feral grin painting her features. Her eyes glowed forest-green, a sickly color that tinged even the veins bulging in the sides of her eyes.
“Never. You devils are about to learn the true power of the Hunt.”
Morrigan paled at the sudden dissonance in her voice. Oh, shit… 1. Deflecting Slice 2. Parasite Poison

Javal was huffing and heavily breathing, he was severely injured, his body was filled with serrated cuts and just generally beaten down. Javal stood back weakly and faced his new powered-up opponent. The new ancestry-powered Jack stood way taller than he did before gaining at least 3 feet in stature and his body growing in muscle mass. Green energy glowed all around him with his eyes completely glowing green.
“Now now blue boy” Jack snickered, “Don’t go dying on me so quickly, I just activated my ancestral power, we’re just getting started. I plan on having fun with you before killing you painfully and brutally”.
Javal raised his katana with two hands on it and yelled
“I won’t die here to some axemen brute, especially one so truly weak and wicked”
As soon as Javal screamed Javal Swordsmaship: Single Slash and swiped his katana at the axemen and the axemen clashed with him. Both men heard a voice approaching the duo.
“Javal, what did I say last time, don’t bite off more than you can chew”.
Javal turned to see a sight for sore eyes, his cousin Eithne the long-horned fell blood who specialized in magic.
“Cousin, what are you doing here?”
“Grandfather told us to watch eye around the woodsmen, there have been rumblings about them trying to pull something like this, we just didn’t think they’d have the balls to do it. Rufus is around helping the other fell blood against the sister”.
