With the wind at their backs and the ground
moving swiftly under their horse's hoofs, Myst and
Makeri, along with the platoon head to the bordello. As
they get closer, Myst readies her crossbow and nocks a
bolt, riding freehand as she does this. Once they reach
the bordello Myst lets her bolt fly straight into the
chest of one of the ugly bastards that comes out the
door. They all procede to jump off their horses and
storm the building with half of the platoon covering
the back and sides and the rest entering from the
front. Myst drops her crossbow to her side and draws her
blade as she enters the door, with Makeri right behind
her. Myst moves to the right and Makeri to the left.
The rest split off to cover behind them and the
middle to block anyone from escaping. Myst moves swiftly
to the bar and vaults over it landing on her feet
with her blade extended to come within an inch of the
barkeeps throat. "Where is the woman who was brought in
here two nights ago. She had a baby with her?" Myst
says forcefully, her blade touching the man's throat.
In a quivering voice the man looks at her "She was
moved, last night, to another location." The man
proceded to tell Mystique where they took Sabre and of the
man who came looking for her earlier who killed the
mistress and her bodyguard. Myst knew right away that it
was Soul who came looking.
Myst looked over
at Makeri and nodded. With a loud command voice
Makeri shouted "ATTACK!!!" and the platoon moved in on
the bandits and scum who were in the place. They were
carefull not to kill any of the slaves and allowed them to
leave. Mystique glared at the barkeep, her blade still
at his throat. "You make me sick" with that she
plunges her blade through the frightened man's throat,
pulling it out sideways, ripping his neck open on one
side. She then vaults over the bar again and joins in
the fight with the rest.
She swings her blade
down and cleaves a man almost in half as he was about
to attack one of the soldiers from behind. He lets
out a loud wailing sound as he is struck and falls to
the ground in a pool of blood. The soldier turns at
the sound with his weapon ready but stops as he sees
Mystique there. He smiles and moves on to another.
After about 20 min of fighting not a patron, bandit or
all around piece of scum is left standing. Myst,
Makeri and those inside with them exit the building.
Makeri gives the signal and the building is set ablaze.
Several of the slave whores are standing there watching
the building burn and begin to cheer. Myst turns to
them "Take the horses in the Livery and be on your
way. But do not take the two that are saddled and
hitched together. They come with us." The women nod and
take off. She watches as one of the soldiers secures
the two horses that belong to Soul and Sabre. She
knows they will need them when they catch up with Soul
at the new location Sabre is being held.
She
mounts Champ again and readies her crossbow again.
Resheaths her sword, and once the platoon is mounted again,
they head off to the new location.
Mystique
feels her blood running hot and swift through her
veins. Her adrenaline is at it's peak. The success of
their battle so far makes her Amazon spirit soar. She
knows that her rebirth was the right thing to do.
