More boredom.... (OxO) Closed!

(Hey sorry, kinda keep going mia during the weeks dont I? I'll try and get something up before the end of the day okay?)

The man was barely in a fighting stance and launched his fireball as Sirus started his attack, doing his best to avoid the shadows.

Gwen glared at the man and jumped away from the swing. “I don't see a human being when I look at you.” she assured him, drawing her hunting knife as her bow wasn't ideal for close-quarters combat.

Corbin had been brushed aside during the start of the fight, but he damn well wasn't about to lose his first student to these men. He gripped a spear in both hands and charged at the axeman.

Sirus dodged it, but winced as the shadows he'd summons dissolved with the light of the flames, the smell of burnt dust and dnak foresty smells filling the air. Growling Sirus summoned more shadows to replace the ones he'd lost, getting in close to his opponent and striking out with his daggers, the inky blackness quickly growing to surround them.
.
The axeman grinned as Gwen switched to her knife, not even hesitating to take another swing at her. Luckily his axe wasn't a huge battle axe, though the weapon would be hard to defend against, especially with the other two men in the way. Speaking of, the other two were itching to join the fight, goon #2(Swordsman) rushing to head corbin off with his sword, while goon #3 (This guy has a staff, and is forever goon #3) circled around to try and take Gwen from behind while goon #1(Axeman) called more teasing taunts.

Sirus growled, summoning more shadows around him, using them to conceal his movements so the other couldn't predict exactly what he was doing as he moved out of the other's field of vision, enveloped by shadows as he struck out with another one of his daggers, this time looking to lodge it in the man's casting arm.
.
The axeman laughed, swinging at her again as he moved closer, aiming low as he didn't want to lop her head off, just disable her as his buddy (goon #3) came around her back, "Better watch your step pretty thing~" He grinned in a way that would send chills up your spine, brandishing his staff, ready to strike if she got too close.
.
The swordsman said nothing, only attacking with a fierce swiftness, aiming to kill and injure.

(Ahaha nice)
.
Sirus grunted as the other swept his legs out from under him dropping the daggers in his hand and taking the moment to shift, landing on his front paws and using momentum to propel himself forward, fangs flashing as he dived for the other's leg, looking to sink his fangs in deep.
.
The pair of goons turned with her, looking angry. Goon #1 charged her, while goon #3 moved to come at her from the side, driving her further away from Corbin, who was locked in a struggle with goon #2.

Sirus dodged the flames, but not without singeing his fur forcing him to drop and roll to tamp out any further flames as his shadows reformed around them.
.
The axeman grunted as the girl hit him, falling to the ground with the unbalancing blow and his own momentum. Though the other man was just as strong, pulling back as she cuaght his blow, swinging to try and catch her in the side.

Sirus paid no mind to the strike except to turn his ears back and roll to his feet, Shifting back as he lunged for the other, trying to pull him down to the ground in a fistfight knowing that once he had him down he could either Shift again or draw a dagger.

Of course, Sirus also knew he had to end this rather quickly or they were going to have bigger problems on their hands, the shadows whispering in his ears to update him on how Gwen was doing.
.
Goon #2 grinned, lunging in on her to try and strike at her legs as axeman got back to his feet, ready for another attack.

Sirus Shifted as he landed half on top of the other, bringing himself up across the other's body with his claws digging into the other's flesh. a deep, menacing growl left his throat as he glared down at the man, his fur still smouldering.
.
The axeman yelled in anger as she grabbed his weapon, the other goon yelling and rushing her, trying to disarm her quickly.

Sirus grunted as the blow hit him, snapping his jaws at the man's hands as his shadows swelled up to permeate the area around them, even rising up around Gwen and Corbin. But unlike the usual, where his shadows would make it hard to see, the inky blackness appeared more like a mist for the other two, while it blinded their enemies.
(Neither one would notice this, but right now there's a band of shadows around a wrist/arm/ankle acting as a marker They'll notice later because shadows feel like silky soft ice.)
.
Goon #2 threw himself back out of the way of hr swing, falling to the ground on his back just as the shadows welled up.

Sirus growled more as the other's hand lit up in flames before rushing back towards his face. He ducked it, but the blow still glanced off the top of his head, singing his ear as he went for his opponent's throat with his fangs, drawing blood but not killing him. Yet.
.
Goon #2 Scrambled to his feet with his weapon in hand, but looked confused and unnerved. The same went for goon #1, as both could no longer see through the inky blackness.
"Drake you gotta kill that fucking mutt!!" yelled goon #2, his voice panicked as he moved backwards uncertainly.
.
And let's not forget goon number three, who was suddenly blinded in the middle of an even match, and was now desperately trying to put distance between him and Corbin.
.
(Think of the shadows as a two-way mirror, Sirus, Gwen, and Corbin can see through it like an icy cold grayish mist. Goons 1-3 and Drake can't, as all they can see is an inky black, freezing cold fog.)

Sirus heard him through the shadows, and he took the assurance and allowed the shadows to pull back until they were mainly focused around Gwen and the other two goons, giving her an advantage. As for the man beneath him… Well… Personally, he really really hated this method of killing people. It was nasty, to say the least. Which was why he elected to move a paw to the other's throat and pull back, the shadows dissipating from around them as his magical stamina ran out somewhat. Not that it mattered as he tore out Drake's throat with his claws. making sure he was fully dead before turning to see how Gwen was doing.
.
Goon #1 cried out in pain as the axe lodged in his shoulder, striking out with his good arm in fear and alarm as he tried to pull away, making the injury worse.
Goon #3 heard his friends cry, and panicked, backing up a little faster, unfortunately heading toward the angry wolf.
.
But even more unfortunately was the situation with goon #2, who was angry and scared over being blinded, and now struck out with a new wildness and almost zero care for his own wellbeing, knowing that Drake and the other would take care of the girl.

(Almost forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder! Also we really don't want a passed out shadow wolf XD)

Unfortunately for Gwen, her advantage was fading as Sirus reached his limits for the moment, knowing that even the best shadow mage couldn't amplify grass shadows like that for too much longer… Hence why the shadows were slowly beginning to fade away even as he Shifted back to human form, launching a dagger to take out Goon #1, the blade lodging in his throat, leaving goons 2 and 3 to cause more trouble.
Goon #3 had already managed to make it to the edge of the shadows, and with his vision restored, went to help his friend take out Corbin.

Sirus saw Gwen move off, and frowned in worry as he saw goon#3 moving in to attack Corbin, the swordsman keeping the older man's full attention with his vicious attacks, leaving him open to goon #3 as he moved in to try and trip Corbin with his staff.
Sirus was already drawing a dagger to try and take out goon #2, but Gwen moved into his path in her quest to finish off Goon #3.

Unfortunately for Corbin his distraction was his undoing as Goon #3 landed a hit to the back of his legs causing him to fall as Goon #2 struck out with his sword, catching him in the shoulder as he fell, the blow yanking his blade from his hands.
Sirus, seeing this happen paled in worry, though Corbin being on the ground gave him the chance he needed to cast a couple more blades into the air, one catching Goon #2 in the throat, and the other in Goon #3's skull.

Sirus winced when he saw what happened to Corbin, the shadows dissipating, leaving him feeling lightheaded in the sunlight. Slowly he shook off the daze then made his way over, "How bad is it?" he asked softly.
