"I won't go down easy." vyn stated.

"Why you're deciding to go after me, of all people, is beyond me. You're alone." She continued.

"You're nothing. I've dealt with worse."

Vyn was silent for a moment, internally seething at the mention of the wretched woman who had taken her in as a child, who had taken advantage of her youth.

"I know she was." She stated.

"And I agree. This will be the last stand. For you, anyhow." She then said.

"I refuse to fall to one such as you. I'm going out on my terms." She added before smirking.

"You won't be able to kil lme, anyhow.'

Vyn didn't say anything before sighing and vanishing from where she was, seeming to glitch out of existence almost. Before he could properly realise she wasn't standing there any long, he felt the air change.

When he looked up, he saw her coming down on him, heels first.

She was aiming to kill him, as the fact that she was going for an aerial attack was proving. That could destroy his skull, neck, and upper body with little dififculty.

Sure enough, she hit his leg. As she leapt back to try and not break a leg of her own or anything, she wasn't able to properly realise that there were vials flying toward her. As soon as she did realise it though, she opened small portals ahead of her, where they would land.

That worked for two of them.

One managed to get her in the shoulder and shatter, splashing her rather well with the contents. Almost instantly she felt the burn.

"Ah damn." She muttered before just taking the shirt off to reveal a tank top underneath. She used the removed top to try and dry herself off a bit, cut down on the burning.

Sadly, she really couldn't, and as she gave up, he was able to see where the water had hit her. Her face by the shoulder, along with down her arm and torso, were a bright red.... having been burned.

"You're fighting dirty." She stated.

"And that just ain't fair." Followed before sighing.

"Doesn't matter though. You still won't beat me."

Vyn paused, honestly paused, when he said that last bit.

"Wait... hold on..." She started.

"Back up. Monsters that wish to render them extinct?" She asked.

"The hell do you mean by that? I can tell you right now that vampires and lycans are not of that mindset. We need them to survive, to thrive, in order to maintain our foodsource." She told him.

"why the hell would we want them to be extinct?"

Vyn just sighed as she summoned three portals, one to catch each of the vials. As the portals vanished, she noticed the followup.

arrows were flying at her, and he kept firing more. There was no way that she could dodge them all, so she didn't try.

Instead, she quickly brought up a large portal to catch them all.

She wasn't able to do so though. She was quick enough for most, but one managed to avoid it.

She felt the impact with her torso, close to her hips. She reached down and just tore it out, remembering that they were coated in something.... but as she did so she noticed an almost cold feeling starting to course through her. The point of origin was easily identifiable as the puncture point.

"Ah fuck..." Vyn commented before taking a deep breath and meeting his gaze. he could see how what the arrow had been tipped in was taking effect, but he was also able to see her determination.

Her eyes flashed a far deeper crimson than he'd seen from any vampire in the past, before a portal opened beside her. He felt something within him, as well.

Without breaking her gaze, she reached into the portal, and withdrew a heart. He had a fraction of a second to realise what had just happened before he was down.

As soon as he was down, the portal closed, and the heart hiot the ground.

As did she. She didn't have the ability to hold herself up any longer.

Vyn, who was barely able to stay in the seated position she'd managed to get down to, just sighed.

"Of course." She said before just shaking her head lightly.

"dow hat you will. I concede defeat." She said, intending to do what she could with her portals against him as well. Granted, the speed that the cold numbness was spreading... was alarming.

Vyn paused for a fraction of a second, knowing she had to do what she could. She also knew he was right, wouldn't be able to do much at all.

So what she did do, was have her mana open a portal, albeit a weak one, beneath him. She knew it would end up closing on itself quite soon, within seconds, she was sure, but it was the only thing she could think of to try.

As his foot started to fall in, he leapt back, intending to avoid the portal entirely... buit he didn't manage to.

He lost about two inches of his foot and toes. But he was far from properly incapacitated.

Vyn froze as she heard what she did.

". . . who says I didn't have someone in the shadows as well?" She asked, starting to have a harder time talking as the paralytic was reaching her vocal chords.

.... I didn't expect anyone to show up.... she thought, having realised that it had been long enough that perhaps it had malfunctioned or something.
