"You mean that guy?" Answered Tapio. "The chap who shot first and ran before he could ask any questions later?"
"Whoever he is we do owe him our thanks." Added the fairy pouring out the greenish liquid on the wound. As soon as it made contact with the blood and skin the elf felt a sudden warm and tingling sensation as it began to heal her. Along with small whiffs of smoke before the wound closed itself leaving no scar or mark of any kind.
Falaroy grinned triumphantly. "Well it worked after all! Must be because you are apart of the family tree."
"Yeah." Pipped in the ginger cat. "Last time we healed somebody her eyes turned yellow, her hair turned blue, and her skin turned all purplish. Not to mention she got a tail to tell."

Tapio, dispite being violantly thrown off had laned on ground with little hurt other then his feline pride. Falaroy with his swift reflexes managed to take flight in mid-air and avoid a nasty fall and saving himself from serious injury and/or death.
"Rotten swine!" Shouted the fairy waving a fist in the air. "You took my sword!" And he stuck out his tounge and did a raspberry.
Flying over to the elf and looked down to her arm. "My lady! You're wounded!" He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hang on I have some healing spells that will take care of that!"
He rushed over to the cat and dug through the saddle bags until he pulled out a small glass bottle. "Hopefully this will work." Said Falaroy flying back to her. "Fairyspells seemed to have an odd effect on non-fairies. Well least on humans." He pulled off the cap. "Hold out your arm so I can pour this on."

Falaroy was at the beast in a instant. Tossing his bow aside he pulled his silver sword and landing on the creature's head and with all his might he thrust the sword into it's skull.
Tapio who had jumped off of the nyrie now jumped back on and bit and clawed at it's neck.

Falaroy charged and let loose an arrow, hitting the brute on the nose and giving one nasty burn.
In a flash Tapio was on the creatures back digging his claws into it's back. "Now it's my turn to ride!" He laughed.
"Yeah!" Cried the fairy letting lose another arrow. "And if you get yourself killed I'm getting a beagle!"

"My sword is made of mythril, a silver in it's pursest form." Answered Falaroy. "So is my amor and arrowheads."
"And I only got my teeth and claws..." Hissed Tapio. "I guess I'll just have maul the eyes and blind the brute for you."

Falaroy answered the elf with a wild grin. He and Tapio were was already prepared to face the nyrie. Theyy were excited and just a little bit nervous, considering that they'd never faced such a creature before.

Both the cat and the fairy trailed behind her. Tapio guarding her right, Falaroy guarding her left.

Taking notice of Katasha staring into the trees, Falaroy fluttered over to her side. His bow was raised ready to fire. "What is it?" he whispered.
Tapio let get of the biter and perked his ears up and sniffed the air. Looks, like the biters aren't the only ones after us. He thought.

The biter let out a low hiss and hopped down the long, slowly making it's way towards her.
Another ankle biter appeared from behind her and two more coming in pairs each her to her right and left.
They had her surrounded!
Biters, small as they are, were more then willing to take on -if their numbers were good- prey much large then themselves. Considering that this elf was alone, though they did pick up a scent that made them uneasy.
With a loud cry the lead biter charged forward but before they could get close to the elf another cry rang out. One so loud and so powerful that it made all the biters stop in their tracks.
Two things happened at once. From up above a flaming arrow shot down striking the closest ankle biter. The little creature let out a scream as the flames suddenly spread all over it's body and within seconds it lay dead. Burned to death. Two more biters fell dead to with the flaming arrow as they tried to make a run for it.
While at the same time a flash of ginger cat whizzed out from the shadows and tackled the lead biter. Both clawed and bit each other till the fell beast went limp with Tapio's jaws clamped on it's throat.
Falaroy appeared with bow and flaming arrow in hand. His bright green wings and part of his back was on fire but the fairy suffered no hurt. This was his magic after all.
"Hurry my lady!" He cried. "Now it is your turn. Kill the two survivors!" He pointed at the fleeing ankle biters. "Before they return to their horde!"

Both fairy and cat followed the elf, walking quietly by her side. Not a word was spoken, since their attention was focused on the matter of beast tracking and talking might distract them.
It wasn't until a familiar sent caught Tapio's immediate attention. Turning to Falaroy he whispered. "I smell a biter." Falaroy's face suddenly grew very serious. "How many?" He whispered back.
"One maybe...a scouting party I think." Replied the cat. "They'll be scared if they see us...time we make ourselves scarce." The fairy knight nodded. "My good Katasha be so good as to stay put for a bit?" He asked and then without another word they disappeared into the shadows, leaving the elf alone.
It was only a few moments afterward when something scurried behind the trees. It wasn't the fairy or the cat but something small and chittery. And not alone. The creature which Tapio identified was indeed a ankle biter (or biter for short) a thing which the elf would have a fleeting glimpse as one of them ran out into the pale light, a thing that resembled much like a dark furred meerkat and the same in size too. With a bald head and tail and eyes that were the shade of pink.
"Chiichiichiiceee!" The noise they made was like high pitched laughter, though not very menacing sounding to say the least.
One of the biters climbed up onto a fallen long and eyed Katasha hungrily and chittered before baring it's sharp teeth at her.

"Of course, my lady of, course!" Replied the fairy and landed back on Tapio. "Onward Tapio, There are fell beasts in need of slaying. Prehaps we can give them a fight worthy of a ballad!"
“Naw, it'll just put a few more catnip points to our reputation.” Added the cat.

Falaroy's sword was already in his hands and the blade burned bright with fire magic summoned by the fairy. Tapio's ears went flat against his head and his mouth was opened showing a row of sharp teeth.
"Scardydog!" Hissed the cat. "Come back and fight like a beast!"
"Looks like there's something worse dwells here then ankle biters." Falaroy said gazing hard at the spot where the creature had been. "Nyries...so that was a nyrie. Never thought I would ever see one." He suddenly slashed his sword in the air, the flames on the blade made a loud whoosh. "Let alone have the chance to slay one." He paused as he suddenly realized that he'd forgotten something. Turning to face the elf he said. "By the way, forgive me for not saying this earlier but...I am Sir Falaroy Knight of the Fairy Kingdom and this..." He waved a hand at the ginger cat. "Is Tapio my noble steed."
Tapio only twitched a whisker. He was more interesting in the nyrie and the possible fact that there might be ankle biters in the area.

"It will be our pleasure." The fairy knighted clapped his hands and Tapio stopped his licking and approached. "About time, I was getting bored." He grumbled as he looked up at the two. "Let's get moving..." Tapio sniffed the air and licked his lips.
"What is it?" Asked Falaroy.
"Scant of an ROUS." Replied Tapio.
The fairy raised an eyebrow. "RO...Oh, Ankle biters, Tapio just call them that. Don't use the tittle that the human's use."

Falaroy's eyes twinkled. "Ah, a elf after my own heart!" he exclaimed and with a flick of his green wings he was air born. A gentle light eliminated the fairy's body and reflected off his armor.
His cat sat down on his haunches and thought, Here we go again! then focused on licking his paw. Ignoring the two for the time. Falaroy flew over the elf's side hovering high enough so he could be at eye level with her. "Since we are here for the same reasons. Perhaps we could travel together?" He asked and then bowed his head. “It would be an honor for the both of us.”

Neyena looked at the wolf in surprise. "Why! What for?"
