Lisieux Family/Stop Scion!

Kayne II had watched, observed and followed his prey for some time now. He felt ready to confront. He waited for the man to show his face, and stepped out in front of Scion, the almost complete Arkenine at his hip, and his claymore in hand.

"Kneel before me swine. Give me that which I seek. The blade is rightfully mine. You can give me that shard, or die and I will take it. Either way is fine with me."

Scion smirked at Kayne II. "Another? You really need to give it a rest, though I commend you on your determination." The gray warrior yawned and turned away from Kayne. "I mean, really... You'd think the Requiem would have better things to do by now."

As Scion walked away, seemingly unfazed by Kayne's threats as though they were a common occurrence, he whistled and called Skoll. "Hey pal. Mind giving me a ride? You're faster and this guy's bugging me." The wolf paused and took off as soon as Scion sat down. As he left, Scion tossed half of his shard of the blade at Kayne, knowing it would buy him some time to dispose of the other. "I wish the requiem could take a day off."

Kayne smirked, knowing his agents wouldn't lose him. He examined the shard, and compared it to the blade. Not all of it. He shrugged, and walked around the corner and swung up onto his horse.

"I don't think so."

She rested in the shadows. She had talked with Kayne II beforehand. A few days ago, in fact, and she had been waiting in Sirion while Captain Nat took the small unit where ordered. Canaan shifted restlessly beneath her and she laid a hand upon his neck to settle him. He snorted softly and relaxed. Soon enough, soon enough. She was lying in wait now, waiting for him to blaze past her.

Sure enough, he did. Scion and his pet wolf came flying toward her, and she waited until the right moment before lashing out. Ariadne braced herself as the man slammed into the polearm that she held out. He fell from his 'noble' wolf-steed, and, knowing that Kayne would be soon on Scion's tail, she moved to restrain the wolf, who was already doubling back for its master.

Ariadne spurred her bay stallion on, and the two launched into the wolf, knocking it to the ground. She swung off and drew her sword. Canaan rose in the air and came to the ground with a thud, hooves, on either side of the large mutt. She held the point of her sword to the wolf's throat. Beastie was subdued, now it was Kayne's turn to take out the man.

((ooc: sorry for the small bit of powerplay there!!))

Kayne trotted up on his steed and pressed the point of his claymore into Scion's throat, not quite enough to pierce the skin, but enough to make sure he stayed in place.

"Enough playing. The shard, or your life."

Scion laughed. "Two? Well then I suppose I've been out foxed. Of course if either of you knew anything, you'd realize you aren't playing with normal fire here." He looked at the wolf and their eyes met. The two companions understood each other well enough to not need words. He'd had the wolf from a pup and raised it mostly on looking into its eyes. The wolf looked up at his incarcerator and then leaped back with surprising force. The wolf turned and ran off, vanishing as it rounded a corner.

"Skoll is incredibly smart. He knows to avoid you and your kinds now. As to the shard. Maybe I don't have it. Maybe I do. I only gave you half of it. So where would the other part be?" He grinned up at Kayne II. "If you kill me, you'll never find it." Scion reached up and pushed the blade away. "We can do this all day, but sooner or later, you'll regret it, and I can be very creative." The warrior got up, and started walking away. "I'll get the last piece for you, if you'll both stay back a few feet so I can guarantee my life. Either that, or you'll never find the shard."
