Lora

Battle at the ruin

The crimson fang pack, what are they doing here?" Lora ask the nervous looking Ottar.

Staring at him aimlessly to get a respond about the current situation. Getting attack out of nowhere is already a big indicator of a somewhat fuel between them. And Lora --- who had nothing to do with it ---- felt like she  just got herself involved.

The head of the pack, the alpha with long curly red hair and scarlet color eyes with a nasty glare to boot. With a simple command to his pack.

" Kill them," his words are absolute order.

The members of the crimson fang pack begin to shoot their sharpened arrows at Lora and Ottar aiming of a vital shot. Lora is left standing out in the open like a sitting duck ready to get cook. Ottar with his fast reflexes of a wolf quickly tackle Lora to the ground once again, but this time the two falls behind a fallen stone pillow to block the arrows. With prefect control of his transformation.

Otter transform one of his arm into a wolf paw. Enhancing the physical strenght in that one arm. He lift up the stone column with that arm, flipping it towards the crimson fang pack which cause them all the stop firing and jump for cover or else they would be crush. Taking theopportunity, Ottar picks up Lora right as the attackers quickly recover to continue with the rapid fire.

Lora and Ottar run to take cover behind another stone column. Ottar taking Lora bow and arrow, return fire. Safe for now, even though the attackers arrows can't break through the pillow, nor they have the ability to shoot around the corner. Lora and Ottar are still outnumber 6 to 2 as their are back into a corner. Trap behind a rock and a hard place.

" We have to get away from here somehow." Ottar ponder on a way to get Lora to safety has seeing that he is running out of arrow.

Lora despite everything she had face up to this point isn't the type to sit around and do nothing while her life is on the line. She have a mission to complete. Taking a peek from behind the column, Lora notice the torches that they drop after the surprise attack. She came up with an idea seeing that the torches are still lite.

Looking through her stuffs, she came across the bag with the black powder inside that she took with her before escaping from the silver lotus pack. Handing the bag to Ottar.

" What is this?" he ask before sniffing the content of the bag. Puzzled by the fact of the substance inside. His eyes light up after recognizing the scent.

" This is ....."

Before Ottar could finish his words Lora order him to throw the bag near the fire. Ottar immediately follow through with Lora's idea after understand her plan. With accuracy, he throws the bag that only landed inches away from the fire on the torch. The crimson fang pack after seeing the bag being thrown at their feet. At first they were a little confuse but their alpha, after picking up the scent of the content inside the bag. He quickly order everyone to back away.

But his order wasn't fast enough and seconds after the bag touches the flame it exploded. The explosion wasn't big enough to take them down, but it was enough to distract the them long enough for Lora and Ottar to escape from the tight spot they their were in.

The two quickly finds some stair going up to the upper parts of the castle. Traversing, probably a dozen fleet of stair they got to the very top of the castle. Standing on the highest baloney. Ottar is confuse of why Lora choose here of all places to hide.

" what is your plan, hiding is useless against a wolf since they can pick up on our scent."

Lora replying to Ottar after tossing him a rope.

" Ties this over there, hurry," Lora easley to order Ottar around.

Ottar who is an alpha, someone who should be in charge of others feel weird taking orders from Lora. Not in a threatening way, but more so like he can't help but to just do what she says. It is like he is a beta while she is the true alpha. It's a feeling anyone of his position would feel strange about as well.
