It was an unusual battle to the she dwarf. Rin was used to bar fights and the dirty grit of the battlefield, not this pansy, long ranged trade of blows going on here. As expected of elves. They can't even fight properly.
A blast of heat and air rushed forth as another speeder exploded. That was pretty though. The destructive power was inspiring.
A lazer bolt sizzled past Rin's ear, leaving a few burnt hairs floating in the emptiness of the nexus. She needed to pay attention, or she'd loose her head. Maybe follow that solider and the boy from before. She was no good here.
Rin looked around at the horsemen around her. They were holding there own, but not on the offensive. No wonder they were loosing. They were just holding their ground idly. Skullface was next to her, charging his staff with magic. Maybe he would charge the enemy. Or at least do something useful. But the staff was suddenly pointed at the elf leader.
Rin barely managed to ask him why when the magic shot forth from the staff, shooting through the elf's head. Or it would have, had pointy ears not dodged at the last second.
Skullface jerked his horse to the side, then spurred it off at a sprint away from the battle. Apparently he hated elves too.
"Where are you going? Hold up!" Rin struggled with the reins, trying to coax the horse after Skullface's fleeing form. The horse refused to budge. Rin threw her hands up in frustration as two guards shot of in pursuit as the elf's command. "Come on you stupid horse, move!" It neighed and scrapped it's hooves against the ground anxiously.
Suddenly, sniper fire, sizzled over the horses rear, searing off the top most layer of fur and skin. The horse freaked, eyes rolling back as it charged off. Rin yelped as she tumbled over the saddle, barely grabbing on to the cantle to keep herself from falling off completely. The horse's powerful muscles moved swiftly beneath her, traveling over flat ground in a blind direction. Rin grunted in effort, as she strained to pull herself back into the saddle. But the wind resistance was strong, and she slipped off the back completely, hanging off the side, feet moving desperately through open air.
She could feel her fingers sliding off the leather of the cantle, her grip getting worse and her palms getting sweatier. Her teeth grinded together painfully as she looked down, boots desperately reaching for the stirrups. At last, her foot found wood and she pushed against it, using the resistance to re-grip the cantle with one hand. The other hand she used to grab the horn. It was good enough until the horse stopped. It would have to stop sometime... right?
Rin squinted into the wind, caused by the horses movement. Skullface's back rode ahead of her, pursued by the two guards. She smiled widely. At least the horse was moving now.
