Hunter/Swift:
Hunter grinned at TJ, slightly out of breath from the run. He turned to scan the new batteground sword in one hand dagger in the other. "Arrogance was always Jair's greatest weakness, of course it's mine too but he's worse. Thinking, Hunter clamored up onto a boulder so he could see the fighting. He spotted Jair off to the side, crouched behind a tree with five or six warriors. His brothers hand was clamped tight around Branwen's arm twisting it painfully.
Taking a deep breath Hunter shouted to be heard over the shouts of battle and the clash of steel. "Jair!! I know that's you Jair! Let her go and come face me!" He saw Jair stiffen and whip his head around seeking the owner of the voice so like his own. Hunter grinned ferally as he saw his twin brother's eyes widen. The two of them were identical but years alone in the savannah had tanned Hunter's skin and given him a lean muscular frame. But even after seven years of seperation the differences were so subtle as to be unnoticeable.
"You freak!! You are dead, you're supposed to be dead!!" Jair snarled, shoving Branwen into the arms of one of his men. He drew his curved sword and stalked out onto the battlefield heedless of those around him. Hunter laughed bitterly and jumped down from the boulder meeting his brother half way.
Hunter smirked, taunting his younger twin. "Been a long time baby brother. Still beating up people who can't fight back?" Behind Jair, his wolf snarled and pinned his ears back. Hunter glared at the wolf with glowing crimson eyes. He really felt for Sinopa, he knew exactly how painful that wolf's fangs were.
Jair poked Hunter in the chest with the tip of his knife, the two brothersstood toe to toe with each other. "Cripples without a Pairbond shouldn't exist. You're a stain on our families good name. Since it seems the wilds couldn't kill you that just means I get the pleasure of doing the job myself." He smiled menacingly.
Laughing, Hunter threw his head back. "How wrong you are baby brother. I do have Pairbond." Above a silver shadow flitted over what little sunlight remained and Hunter grinned, shouting. "Now Swift!"
Above the treetops the dragon flared his wings and lit aflame the tree Branwen and her captors were crouched under. With shouts of fear and dismay the men and their bonded dropped their prisoners and scambled back from the bonfire. Swifts tail swung like an axe and sent the burning husk crashing to the ground. Roaring the dragon landed in a crouch draping his wings protectively over Branwen and Sinopa.
Jair's wolf yelped in terror and ran to his bonded, cowering behind his legs. Hunter's smile was all teeth as he grinned fiercely at his slack jawed brother. "Now then." His voice was silky with menace. "Where were we?"
