The Ties that Bind (Tema & desertpaladin)

[Temara]

"You womb ripped son of a priest! Release me!" The demoness yanked her arm violently from the first man who sought to grasp her and pull her into her embrace. Silver eyes glowed with pride as she stood within her circle; for once one of protection for none of the earth born who had used it to summon her would cross more than an arm in to reach her. She'd been minding her own business when these fools had sought to summon a demons to rape for their own pleasure. And humans called them sick and depraved. As the closest resident, Tijae had found herself gone from the lava bath where she'd been soaking in a city not two leagues from here to standing naked in this circle of so called men.

Her own abilities were much weakened on this plane, and she'd been instructed to do as little as need be, after all, she was on a mission to find the one marked by sunlight not to corrupt humans, although it was an acceptable pastime. Raven black hair flew around as she forced her energies to remain calm. She only needed one of them to step across the circle's line and she'd turn him on his fellows. But each of the pathetic humans were apparently well versed in what not to do. This she realized as four hands reached into the circle and grabbed one of her limbs lifting her from the ground and beginning to move her from the circle. It was only her willpower that kept them from actually withdrawing her from the circle. That was one thing they got wrong. They couldn't move her without her consent from the circle until she was bound to one of them. Fools.

"So help me, my brother shall slay you all for this outrage!" a brother who she only knew of in dreams, but one who would protect his sister far more than this curs would allow. Fact was, if they kept this up, she would slay them herself, no matter how close to the city this forest was.

Now she and the men would gain a suprise, as she struggled a lone man jumped from the rooftops dressed in strange armor. His body was mostly covered with a mix of both plate and leather armor. He wore hardened leather boots, some guards on his thighs as well as a leather gauntlet on his right hand, and an elbow guard and a shoulderguard on the right arm. His torso, around his abs mostly had many leather belts interweaving back and forth to work as a way to protect his gut. He had leather guards on his lower legs and as a gauntlet on his left arm as well as having the rest of that arm pure platemail. He had a plate chestguard and some of the leather armor had metal studs on it to help give him more protection. His hair was short and light brown in color like the earth and his eyes were such an intence green they almost seemed magical. Bits of his clothing showed from under the armor, there being a dark gray tunic and some brown colored pants showing. In his right hand he held a simple hand and a half sword, or some usually call it a longsword.

Needless to say he landed right in the circle, the men having needed to hold an outside ritual near some of the farmhouses. Lawrence, the man now standing before the men gave a small scowl as he looked at them. He had not really seen her, only seen the fact that it was a nude womanly form that these men were trying to drag off. "You perverts" he said as he rushed at one slicing open the man's gut with his sword as he then turned to face the next one, and the one after that as she was dropped on the ground so the men could defend themselves. However it was not long until some of them ran off like scared girls, though most of them lay dead at the man's feet.

"Stupid pervs..." he growled as he leaned down to clean the blood off of his sword as he tilted his head back "are you alright miss?" he asked
