Rain sniffed the air. Confused by the scents she was picking up. It made her cautious. Lily must've sensed it too because she just stated this to everyone else. Seff bit her lip as her crimson red eyes darted to and fro. Surveying their surroundings carefully.
Tez gripped his double swords more tightly. He scanned the area. Nothing was evident of a trap yet it felt like one. Did they run right into one? He wasn't sure but got ready for the worst. A cruel laugh came from above them all. Seff, Raina, and Tez looked up.
There was Romildia. She was laughing as she leered down at them all. Hovering in the air. Her staff issuing a strange smoke as she floated above them. "....Sad to see you STILL don't know where she is!" she taunted.

Everyone seemed to be a bit on edge. Just waiting for something to happen. The odd silence that lingered around the area frightened Lily. What was going on, and where was her sister? ..And where was Romildia for that matter?
She was right above them apparently. Which was what Lily, and everyone else discovered when they heard Romildia's voice from above them. Lily immediately looked up, it was hard for her to see anything, but they all knew she was there.
"Where is is she!?" She questioned her. Though Lily knew it was unlikely that she would get a clear answer, she hoped that Romildia's response would give them a clue.

Romildia gave a smirk as always. A gloatingly sinister one. "It's like I said before....HANGING around!" she answered. Not going to give any further information. They'd have to fight it out of her which was rather hard at the moment considering the fact she was suspended in the air above them. Out of their reach.
Seff furrowed her eyebrows in anger. Remembering the sucker attack Romildia had done to her in the past. The one that knocked her unconscious. "If you don't tell us now....we'll KILL you!" snarled Seff. Raina growled her affirmative as well. Baring her sharp pointed dragon teeth. Tez glared silently upwards. Ready to strike when the need be.
If possible, maybe his powers would be enough to take her out. However, it just might even take all of their combined powers to take Romildia. Best to tread lightly here and carefully.

It was obvious to Lily what Romildia was doing. She was playing games with them, she was watching them suffer, and she was entertained by every minute of it.
It was almost like a show to her, and it made Lily feel absolutely sick inside to know that there were really people like Romildia out there, who got pleasure from other people's pain.
At this point, Lily honestly wasn't sure what to do. She had no idea where her sister was, and to find out they would probably have to face Romildia, which they obviously couldn't do, because they couldn't even reach her. This was going to be interesting.

Romildia laughed harshly at Seff's words. "I'd like to see the likes of you try, girlie!" she mocked as she waved a finger at her from above. Raina snarled warningly. "Obviously, how are you to kill moi when none of you except for the dragon can fly?" she asked them. Knowing that she had them there. Tez just kept his glare on her as well as Seff.
"Raina can fly swiftly, dumbbell, and would easily make a meal out of the likes of you!" retorted Seff. Raina snorted smoke out of her nostrils to confirm this. Deep blue dragon eyes staring angrily upwards. Romildia didn't pay any attention to such a threat. "Oh yes....let the dragon TRY....I've found a way of......disposing of her..." replied the sorceress after a few minutes of tensed silence.
Seff merely scoffed. "I'd like to see you try! Your puny magic can't do a thing against a dragon using physical or magical powers! So quit while you're ahead and hand over Lily's sister!"

While Seff and the others kept Romildia distracted, Lily decided that now would probably be a good time to look for her sister again. She didn't think it was a good idea for her to move just yet though, so she just stood in her spot and looked around with her eyes. She really didn't know what she should have been looking out for though. Probably something that seemed suspicious, but so far she didn't see anything that seemed out of the ordinary. Where could her sister be?
"Seff, I don't know what to do! I don't see anything." She said to her friend telepathically.
[Bleh, sorry it's kinda short, I have bad writers block today xD]

(No sweat! Almost done with finals! I've got two this Friday them I'm FREE! FREE I TELL YOU! XD!)
Seff and Tez glared upwards at Romildia. Obviously taking the sorceress's attention away from Lily for the time being. Not knowing they were doing this though. Seff's head had gone stiff a bit right when she heard Lily's telepathic message. It sort of surprised her considering she had never really tried speaking to others using telepathy.
Raina kept her dragon eyes on Romildia floating above them. Looking at the sorceress like she was going to be the dragon's next snack. Tez stood his ground pondering over which action to take at the time being. How he intended to severely burnt that annoying being. It was people like that whom made life hard. Sadly, Tez and Seff had dealt with quite a good number like this. As far as they were, Romildia just was another addition to that number.
'Wait....I think we may have to fight her, Lily. I know this seems a bad idea but we have to! Maybe we can somehow anger her enough to even bother coming down....besides, if I know my brother he can actually control his fire energy to follow the enemy temporarily each time he conjures it!' she replied using her mind. Not saying a word physically as she focused her eyes on the annoyance floating above them all.

When Lily heard Seff's reply come, she wasn't surprised by anything her friend had said. She knew she was right.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the only thing we can do right now.., but how are we gonna do it? I mean, Raina can fly, and Tez is skilled with his fire powers, like you just said, but I can't do anything like that. Actually, I think the only thing I could do right now is throw a rock at her, but I doubt that would help out much." Lily would have laughed after the last thing she had said, but she didn't, for obvious reasons.
Romildia seemed to be unaware of her and Seff's current conversation, and Lily wanted it to stay that way.
[Ah, short for the millionth time. Evil writers block, When will it end? XD]

Seff turned her head to peer at Lily again before bringing her eyes back towards the sorceress. 'Maybe if we get her angry enough she'll come down and then we can beat her up?' she replied to Lily. 'That way, you'd be able to have a go at her!' she said telepathically still. It felt good to have conversations that others weren't able to hear or listen in on.
Raina growled angrily again as the sorceress floated above. Laughing down at them all. "Can't get me! Boo HOO!" she taunted. This was what set Tez off, he let that energy he had been saving for later surge forth as he aimed a hand upwards and let a large white fireball similar to Seff's shoot forth at the sorceress. Romildia's eyes widened a bit in surprise before she flew out of the way.
The annoyance laughed again as she said "Oh dear, I believe you've missed me!" Tez smirked to himself as the fireball he sent at her came back. She was oblivious to it up until it smacked into her back. Singing her thoroughly. Especially her tail.
(I know thy feeling lol!)

"That'll probably work. But for now, we might just have to let Tez and Raina fight her while shes up there, but once she comes down, we can all fight her together." She said to Seff telepathically.
Lily knew that she was pretty much just stating the obvious, but she just wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page. Well.., her and Seff at least. Though everyone in the group were smart, so they probably knew what they were doing.
Or so Lily hoped at least. Because she still wasn't sure what to do herself. At least at the moment.
Lily had frowned at first, when she had thought Tez's shot had missed. But when she noticed that the fireball was coming back, a smirk quickly appeared on her face.
"Good shot!" She said to Tez with a grin after the fireball hit Romildia.
It was nice to see Romildia get hurt for once, after all, she deserved it.

Seff nodded as she focused her attention on the annoying floating dimwit known as Romildia. How annoying she was. Thankfully, what her brother just did was enough to make everyone here smile with appreciation. She turned to her brother and gave him the thumbs up whilst Raina crooned her approval.
Tez smirked maliciously back up at the angered Romildia. Giving the other's a mischievous smile before saying "Ah, couldn't help it!" He gave a laugh at the angry face the sorceress was giving him now. "Surprised to see I've got a more powerful fire than the other?" he mocked her as he waved a finger up at her. The singed back smoked still as Romildia narrowed her eyes into a nasty glare.
How dare that putrid human hurt her! She'll have his head on a silver plate! Romildia, not caring about staying in the air much longer, finally swooped downwards at him. "YOU FOOL!" she snarled as she sent a blast of some kind of purple energy down at him in attempts to harm him or what not. Tez furrowed his eyebrows as he took on a serious expression and put up a white fire shield blocking the attacks.
"Hmph, pitiful! I expected better!" he taunted. This was probably a way to get her to stay on the ground. Tez nodded to Lily and Seff. Hinting at what he was doing.

Lily was put in good spirits after Tez had hit Romildia with a fireball, but all the humor seemed to be sucked out of the situation when she saw Romildia send a blast of purple energy down at Tez. She flinched and closed her eyes as it happened. That was all kind of a nervous reaction though. But when she opened her eyes seconds later, she was happy to discover that Tez was able to block the attack when he put up a shield.
Before, Lily couldn't seem to find any weaknesses in the sorceress, but it was just then as she watched Romildia begin to come closer to the ground, that she realized Romildia had a problem that could work to their advantage. Her anger. She was no doubt a powerful sorceress, that was for sure. But Lily noticed that when Romildia got very angry, she would usually act without thinking things through, and that would usually make things bad for her.
Like now, she was coming closer to the ground without realizing it, which gave she Seff and the others a better chance to get at her. Lily wasn't going to try and attack Romildia just yet though, she wanted to wait for the right time.

Romildia's weakness was indeed her anger. Definitely something they could all use against the sorceress. Anger was something to never lose control over. Such an emotion clouded one's logical thinking. Therefore, the sorceress, aside from trying to kill them because of her rage wouldn't be able to do more effective spells that'd be an advantage to her.
Such as, Raina wouldn't be shrunk. That'd be a serious advantage for the four of them fighting the sorceress. Whatever happened to those wolves she summoned from time to time? Raina sniffed the air for their scent finding it almost instantly. Her deep blue eyes scanned their surroundings for them. She spotted the red wolves.
All they did was sit there. They didn't seem intent on helping Romildia at all. All they did was watch from a corner. Huddled in fear it seemed. Another advantage. Raina returned her attention back on the fight. Not lunging at Romildia just yet. Romildia came down in a swoop once more aiming at Seff this time with her staff like last time from when she knocked her out. Seff, expecting this again, brought up her own sword and blocked the attack. Chipping a nice chunk out of the staff. 'Hmm....maybe if we break it?' she thought.
Raina snarled at the sorceress when she got high into the air again to glare down at them all. Tez, Seff, and Raina got ready. The sorceress seemed intent on battling them at a ground level. Good thing, that's what they were all aiming for.

Lily stood just watching Romildia, almost studying her it seemed. After watching for a bit, she realized that she had been right in thinking that Romildia's anger problem would work to their advantage. For someone who was supposed to bea cunning and powerful sorceress, she seemed to be slowly making one silly mistake after another. And she didn't even appear to notice yet.
Lily wanted to just smile, but she forced herself to stay serious. She didn't want to do anything that might make Romildia rethink what she was doing. After all, she was practically playing into their hands at the moment. And it needed to stay like that for as long as possible, this was a golden opportunity to at least weaken her in some way if anything.
When she saw Seff take a chuck out of Romildia's staff with her sword, Lily was surprised that it could be damaged so easily, but all in all that was actually another good thing. And at that moment, she got the same idea that her friend had. It would probably help them out if they could break the staff.

Yes, Romildia was so enraged she hadn't been thinking clearly at all now. She paid no mind to the chunk that became quite evident upon her small staff. That, believe it or not, was the last ounce of her magical energy. Not entirely because she could also physically summon it up and use it from within herself but the most deadly was stored inside that staff of her's.
If the others were to break it, she'd only be able to turn them into frogs or something as harmless as that. Not that being turned into a frog wasn't harmless. Just lesser in magical things that this wicked being could do. Raina, if it came down to that, would be able to attack without being affected but she let the humans confront the sorceress for now. Not until the timing was right and when she was needed would she fight.
Raina did snap at the sorceress when she came near to show her what she was dealing with. Romildia's clothes had almost got snagged from Raina's teeth. A VERY close call for her. Her eyes narrowed. The blood red eyes boring into every one of them before swooping downwards again. She lunged for Lily this time around. Seeing this, both Tez and Seff shouted "LOOK OUT!"
They couldn't get there in time so it was up to Lily to fend for herself now. Raina was moving towards the area to help if Lily couldn't handle it. However, others changed when their family members were on the line. Lily may prove herself ready for this fight.

Thankfully, unlike earlier, when she was nearly attacked by one of Romildia's wolf creatures, Lily noticed Romildia lunge at her. So this time, she could be prepared to fend her off when she got closer. Her sword was already out and ready, she wasn't very scared at the moment. Well sure, she was scared, but she was still confident that she just might be able to make some good out of the situation. And her confidence outweighed her fear, for once.
She saw this as a good opportunity to get a few hits at Romildia, and maybe even her staff if it was possible. So, instead of cowering in fear or waiting for someone else to save her, Lily stood tall, with a confident look on her face, and her sword still out and ready to fend Romildia off if she needed to. It was time for her to be strong. For herself, her friends and her sister. She just hoped that things wouldn't go wrong.

Seff looked on with baited breath. She was really praying Lily'd make it alright. She didn't want her best human friend to be harmed. Raina was ready to strike or breathe fire to defend Lily but she held back seeing that she appeared ready for this. That was a big change but it was necessary. After all, everything they were doing right now hung in the balance in whether or not the worlds were saved or not.
Romildia's strength seemed not so terrifying as it was now but if she got those pendants then...well...nothing good would become of it. Romildia was shooting down towards Lily at a fast rate. Her small staff was raised as she prepared to take a few swats at her. She was determined to nab those pendants back. Even if she had to do it herself! Tez was, in the meantime, summoning up more fire energy from within. Ready to go all out if the need be.
It was the staff they were all intent on destroying. If they did that, Romildia's strength would be depleted greatly. Even if she could use magic with just her hands she still wouldn't be as powerful as she was beforehand.

Lily looked up at Romildia. She could see that the sorceress was coming at her much faster now, and even seemed to have her staff out and ready. Yes, she was getting close, but not quite close enough yet. Lily was waiting for the right time, she wanted to be very careful. Even though Romildia tended to sometimes be blinded by her rage, she certainly wasn't stupid, and Lily knew this.
Though Lily still appeared as calm and confident as she had before, her heart beat seemed to get a little faster as Romildia got closer to her. She gripped onto her sword a little tighter and raised it up into the air a little more. She was getting prepared to get a hit at Romildia's staff as soon as she could. She wasn't going to waste any time.

Romildia was almost in range now. Still going for Lily. Intending to nab that locket back as soon as possible. With it, she could regain control again. Once again making the dark rule all. However, diving as she was, she wasn't thinking clearly and had no idea what they were all planing to do. She was now in good striking distance for Lily. Raina went stiff as she prepared to snap at Romildia. Seff felt her heart lurch as she watched this. Tez got ready to use his fire energy again. Ready to help defend the other if the need be. (GAH! Can't think! !)
