There came a time when everyone reached their breaking point. It didn't matter how strong or smart you were. No amount of patients or kindness or strong will could prevent it. And when you're a young Werewolf full of pain and anger, it boils down to one simple thing. Just how far are you willing to go?

How much are you willing to take before you just can't deal with it anymore? She had tried to keep the peace, despite her inner desires to be rid of the child murderer named Kratos. And the be honest, after what happened to Winter, Rinni was sure even Lucian would prefer her to get revenge rather than to sit there and take the abuse.

The Dardian had mocked her, taunted her, bullied her, and even attacked her. Grant it, it was within reason as she had attacked him first. But in Rinni's mind, it was his fault for intentionally provoking her. It was as if the creature wanted a fight. And if that was what he wanted, so be it.

She now stood in the woods, facing toward the Dardian. Everyone else was safe with the caravan taking a breather as they headed to the Outskirts. It was then that Rinni decided enough was enough. If she allowed Kratos to travel with them, how long before he kills Candy? Or tries to eat that little girl they have with them?

The teen looked toward her Moogle and placed her hand upward, gently pushing the creature behind her. She didn't want Candy involved, as the Moogle was not a combat-ready companion. She also didn't intend on Risky Candy's life just for her own end goals. "Candy, stay back, okay? No matter what happens, do not get in our way."

"Okay, but why? What's going on?" Candy questioned curiously. Rinni didn't answer. She would prefer to Moogle fly a few feet away or so, as this fight didn't involve her not could she defend herself.

With Candy out of harm's way, Rinni glared at Kratos as soon as he joined her in the woods and activated her Pocket Dimension Ring. She readied herself for combat, her amber eyes focused on Kratos. "We don't have to do this, Kratos. Think of what you're doing. There's still time to stop this."

"I never said I didn't. I told you the day you murdered my best friend that I would kill you. You retreated like the coward you are." Rinni readied her bow, drawing the string as an arrow materialized. "Your mind games won't work on me anymore, Kratos. I know what I am. I know who I am. I've accepted it, I embrace it. Now die!"

She then launched an Arrow Shot directly toward Kratos. After releasing the arrow, she scanned the area. The shot should distract him just long enough for her to get a feel for the location. All the trees meant it'd be difficult to use her bow. Even with Pyonim's Chase, if the Dardian timed things correctly he can cause her shots to hit the treelines. That made her almost useless with a bow. Was that his plan, then? Forcing her to transform so that he could kill a monster and claim himself a hero?

Not happening.

She lunged to the left, her amber eyes training on Kratos. Candy stayed put, hovering from side to side not sure what to do or where to go. But she was safe. Rinni would make sure of them. If Kratos even made one move toward the Moogle, Rinni would be there in seconds to stop him. She was faster and stronger and she knew this. "And now you wish to fight me? Now that I'm fully into my capabilities as a Werewolf? Now that your boss has raised me to be who I am? Now that I've accepted I'm a monster?!"

Rinni immediately returned all her equipment into her Pocket Dimension Ring. She even went so far as to strip naked, by transferring her outfit into her Pocket Dimension, right before transforming into her werewolf form, so as to avoid destroying yet another outfit. She let out a loud howl that echoed throughout the forest, towering now to her full height and fully aware and in control of the wolf this time. "You're a damn fool, Kratos!"

Damn it! Rinni wasn't expecting the Dardian to stoop to such low tactics! It shouldn't have come as a surprise, but it did. When Kratos grabbed Candy and used the poor creature as a shield to block her arrow, Rinni let out a low feral growl as she turned toward her opponent. Candy squealed and struggled in Kratos grasp. "Let go of me, you big meanie!"

You can't protect anyone, you're fucking useless.

"Let go of her, you fucking coward!" She shouted as PTSD of Winter's last moments flashed through her mind. She lunged toward Kratos only to crash into the boulder Kratos had created. It didn't hurt her, but it was an annoying diversion. Still, it may have prevented her from hitting Candy in her rage.

Rinni charged toward him again, faking a lunge and stopping short, growling with all her teeth bared, her brows furrowed, her tongue lashing out to lick her sharp canines. She passed back and forth trying to figure out a way to attack Kratos without harming Candy. There had to be something she could do. "Are you that weak that you're afraid to face me head-on? You're the one that's useless, you pussy! Hiding behind defenseless creatures that are smaller than you because you're scared!" Rinni taunted, using some of Kratos' own choice words against it. It felt so out of character, as Rinni never talks this way. But, she thought it would be more effective than having a panic attack.

She tried to negotiate every option in her head. How many ways were there to free Candy? To hurt Kratos without hurting Candy? Rinni scanned the scenario before her, growling. She shut her eyes. 'Illumin, help me.' She prayed silently. Apparently, Tempris was rubbing off on her. Either way, a prayer couldn't hurt the situation... what did she have to lose? Her eyes shot open and Rinni lunged at Kratos. If successful, she would bite into his throat and proceed to tear his throat out.

As Kratos watched Rinni cough up blood he would say loudly "You're fucking weak, a useless child that isn't capable of defending herself let alone others." Kratos would look over at Candy then say to Rinni, "your stupid fucking pet looks like roadkill, how dumb can you be? You would think that after you watched your last pet die, maybe you would learn, but No, you really must like watching your Friends die."

Kratos watched as Rinni got too her feet, only to hear a voice behind him. "And what the fucks going on here?" Kratos turns his head to see who said that. He would  noticed the small child from the bar, along with a man he had never met. Kratos would say to the two uninvited guests, "Why dont you fuck off, go be a cradle robber somewhere else."

Kratos who was 3m away from Rinni would dash toward her at 7.5 MPS. If she dashes away then he will stand there in a defenseive position ready to react to whatever. If she dosen't dash away and instead attacks with her Right claw, he would block the incoming attack by grabbing Rinnis wrist with his Left hand, as that is going on he would jab his right index finger into Rinnis Right eye. If she dosen't dash away and instead attacks with her Left claw, he would block the incoming attack by grabbing Rinnis wrist with his Right hand, as that is going on he would jab his Left index finger into Rinnis Right eye. If she goes for a Bite on kratos he would block her bite with his left arm, while using his right arm he would Jab Rinni in the throat crushing her windpipe.

It was a disaster for the wolf. The large creature Kratos completely destroyed her, something Tempris expected by the looks of the fight. It was a shame the girl did not see the miracle that was presented before her. Still, the wolf should have learned her lesson. Lying on the ground unconscious with a missing arm. Blood was everywhere. It was truly disgusting, but Tempris could not just leave her there. She came to bring the woman back. Of course, if she did not make it out alive, there was nothing she could do but burn the body. However, if she was. Then she would be dragged back.

"Stupid wolf. Should of accepted my help. Illumin did not will this. Only your heresy did."
Tempris jumped down from her tree and ran up to the wolf's body. She was alive, barely but still alive. Tempris removed her own veil and wrapped it around the wolf's arm open wound. Then she took off her cloak and covered the wolf's chest. With that done, she grabbed Rinni and heaved her over her own shoulder. Then she walked out the forest as best she could with blood dripping out of the cloth.
