The fight begins....(anna, dev, open)

[Nicole Celestica]

The forest was still and the clouds rolled in casting a darkness over the forest. It was if they whole place knew what was about to happen. And Nicole expected nothing less. The trees knew everything here. Andrew had kept his word to Anna he had waited and know his wait was over. Nicole had her sword on her back and she grasped the dragon necklace in her pocket. She had never used it before but she might have to. Nicole looked back at Anna. Nicole knew there was only a small chance that they would win. But that was still a chance and Nicole had to take it. Nicole stopped and looked back at Anna. "Anna if we don't make it out of this. I want you to know I love you so much." she said hugging her.

[Annabelle Moonhart]

Anna paused a moment to sharpen her claws, for what seemed to be the eightieth time, on a tree. She listened to Nicole. "Child, don't talk that way!" she said. "We are going to win. End of story." Anna assured her, extending a paw to hug Nicole. "I love you too." she said, letting her go again. The lion-bird looked about. Where might Andrew be? she thought, though glad that he hadn't come yet. Anger set upon her face. As soon as she caught sight of that boy, Anna was going to end his life.
