Guild:Kittens With Claws/Angelica Dream

History
Kalebra the Skree Harpy boss smiled. "So you fell for my trap Angelica Dream", she smiles crurly. Angelica looked to the right and saw 100 armored Hekets, and on her left 4 dozen  centaurs. "Are you surprised that I know you name?", The harpy snorted smugly. "Not particularly", Angelica replied casually. "After all I am Elona's most decorated Sunspear." Kalebra shirked with rage, "Then you will submit to me or die where you stand."

"This is quite an unfair battle", Angelic returned.

"Just the way I like it", sneered the harpy.

"Oh you misunderstood", Angelica replied. "There is only like 150 of you. I guess I could use my old spear and give you the fist shot to make it fair. Or perhaps...." The Skree Harpy screeched,"Kill her! Kill her!"

"Bring it on bitch "Angelica smiled as the mob rushed her. She leaped over the first Heket kneeing the one behind her in the eye. Then stepping on the next two she turned quickly landing on the back of a centaur. Grabbing his horns she forced him gallop full speed toward Kalebra. But just as she was about to reach her foe a Heket grabbed her foot pulling her to the ground.

Dragging her across the desert he scolded her, "MILK THE OX"

"What?", Replied Angelica astonished at his request. She seemed to be groggy, in a gaze some how.

"Father said get out of bed and milk the ox". her brother replied finally letting her food go after dragging her half away across the bed room floor.

Life with with 5 older brothers keep young Angelica on her toes. Work was not easy on the farm, and she was not stronger so she became faster, smarter, courageous. And at her Fathers passing turned out to be the leader of the family. No wonder even her biggest brother broke into tears when she finally left the farm. She heard the calling to become a Sunspear.

But that was in the past. Today was Wintersday in July, and the day of the Grand Guild tournament challenge. Angelica was aligned to the Spears of Light, the premiere Elona guild winning the right to represent there country. She had no love for the group save that she was recruited by the guild to help win this tournament, and proved shill though all the early games though the semi finals. Angelica  made no connections with the elite group, but lead them to this victory with her speed and intelligence, a group of skill she looked back fondly on form when she was with her brothers.

Lions Arch was packed for the tournament and Guilds were selected by luck of the draw. The Spears of Light were selected to battle the Norn guild called Bears Rage. While the battle seemed lopsided to the crowd Angelica again pull on her youth and used the burnt sheer force approach that the Norn guild prided themselves by against them to barely claiming a victory.

Though Angelica was not happy for long, as the other two battles ended much too quickly. Kittens With Claws (the Tyria guild) easily defeated the Canthan Emperor’s Hand. She knew of the reputation that the Kittens With Claws had and was hoping that they would lose. She did not want to face them.

As her guild entered there side of the arena she looked around. Thousands of people lined the upper hall waiting to see the two best guilds clash in a titanic event. Healers and warriors were ready to pull the injured out and restore them on the side lines. As the Gate went up Angelica's heat raced and she let out a battle cry inspiring her fellow members on in a battle frenzy.

Using get head she set up a bluff and trap to draw in the other guild into an ambush, but the Ranger leader for the the Kittens With Claws saw though it and set up a cross fire using their tank hold off any charge. “I should have expected that Aleara Song would not be so easily tricked”, she thought. But the Kittens With Claws had their hands full too, as the Sun Spear guild was much more of a  challenge than the Canthan guild did.

Little by little both sides had losses and were pulled to the sideline to be healed and look on as the guilds continued to battle, until the only two members were left standing. Aleara Song the leader of Kittens With Claws and Angelica Dream. Both were beat up and exhausted they took a moment to catch there breath, staring at each other with a fierce desire to win.

The crowed hushed and the air lay thick with anticipation looking at each on opposites sides of the arena. You could almost feel the the throbbing of their pulse as a moment passed. Angelica shouted sending a speed burst at she charged her opponent. Aleara was not caught off guard firing 2 barrages of arrows. Angelica by the grace of Dwayna dodged them. Then nimbly avoided a Triple Shot and a another barrage. With a mighty shout she burst again to end up face to face with Aleara Song with her vampire spear at her throat.

“Submit. I win”, Angelica stated boldly. “Really? “, Aleara's replied slightly amused. “Yes, you have no choice. Though I thought you were better than be taken so easily.” Angelica confessed.

"Well you are ever better than I thought you would be.”, Aleara replied. “In fact you were the reason we entered the tournament.”, Aleara continued.

Angelica was confused, she was clearly the winner, but perhaps the Ranger was trying to stall her and steal here victory. “This is your last warning”, Angelica said pressing her spear to Aleara's throat. “concede the win or this will be painful.”

Aleara smiled, “This was never about winning, this was about an introduction. Look behind you.”

Angelica glanced back and her eyes widened. At the far end of the stadium was a perfect outline of the paragon shape made with arrows! Aleara was not aiming at her she was showing her skill as an archer, she could have hit her anytime she wanted as she charged.

Angelica lowered her spear, “I yield, you win.” Aleara smiled warmly. Like I said we came here to meet you not win a tournament. Want to see our guild hall? I think you might really like it. Angelica looked up and smiled.
