Mage and a Demi-human fight
[A few minutes before Cecelia found where the princess was being held]
After Penny got paid by Porter she didn't hold back to pay a visit to a place she liked to go and spend some of her hard owned money.
That place was a brothel in the red district and not just anyone in the brothel that Loren took over as new boss.
"Well it sure has been some time you have come to visit this place Penny how have you been."
The one to say this was Debora who greeted her when she had entered.
"Oh Debora, how I miss that lovely face of yours when you are going to come and share a nice warm bed with me one day."
Penny says while giving her a kiss to the cheek.
"Got to keep on hoping for that Penny, I work more on running the brothel and taking care of the girls."
"Well then I'll keep on hoping for that day, but for now I have to settle for someone else and I bet you know who we are talking about."
"Ah yes Bridget right now is taking care of an important client as of right now, you could wait or I can have another girl attend to you."
"Not fine waiting alright with me and it would be nice to have some company to talk to while waiting care to be that."
Without needing to say a word Debora grabs her walking her to sit with her while the two have fine drinks and talk with each other for a time.
Finally Bridget is done with Cecelia as she has come to see Debora who notices her.
"How does she feel Bridget did you serve her to your fullest towards satisfaction."
"Yes I have and she is my mistress." she answered not to give any sign to what truly happened in that room.
"Hello Bridget did you miss me because I surely did." Penny said, showing her a lustful smile at her.
Bridget turns her attention to Penny who was sitting with Debora as she then spoke back.
"Oh penny you know well that I miss the feeling of a warm body against mine and I would like to feel once again, but first I would need some time to have myself ready for you."
"You go ahead and do that, I 'm fine to wait a little longer with Debora."
Bridget leaves them to do what she is told as then Penny turns her attention to the mistress of the brothel.
"So Debora, who is this person that Bridget was taking care of, I am curious to know."
"She is someone you should not put your nose in learning about trust me it will be for your best interest."
"Oh this mystery girl makes me hot to know her, maybe we could be good friends."
"Penny listen to me well don't do that she is with someone very deadly who you would not like to cross path with. Now I have to go as you should just enjoy yourself."
Debora got up and left Penny by herself making to the room Cecelia was still in.
"I take you had your enjoyment with Bridget Cecelia."
"Oh did that girl know just how to make someone feel good you make sure to tell how grateful I am."
"Of course I will, so would you be leaving now."
"Yes I have to be going somewhere important is something you need to tell me before that."
Debora thanks carefully about it if she should tell what Penny has told her or keep to herself.
Yet in doing so she will be putting herself in danger which Loren would not look to kindly on.
In the end Debora tells everything to Cecelia who listens well until there is no more.
"Is she still here." Cecelia asked her.
"Yes Penny will be busy with Bridget for a while here."
"Then you're going to keep her here until I have returned. Do you hear me, Debora , she is not to leave this brothel."
"Yes I understand I make sure that happens." Cecelia answers by bowing her head down.
Nothing more to be said Cecelia imminently leaves to where the princess was being held.
"Forgive me Penny it seems you have already dug yourself into this."
----------------------------------
{the present where Cecelia found the princess]
"So what is it going to be?" Cecelia asks, ready for what answer is going to be given out of Arnold's mouth.
She watches closely as he moves one hand to place on his chin thinking it over before speaking.
"I don't suppose I could talk my way out of this or make a fair trade with you."
"Are you kidding me, you know what I think I go with taking the princess back the hard way."
Right after saying that Cecelia could sense that something was coming for her and that it was coming from under her.
She quickly jumped before it was too late as an iron whip chain broke upward from below.
Soon after that a finger jumps upward, breaking the wooden floors to appear before Arnold and Cecelia.
Porter had been alerted about Cecelia thanks to enhanced sense of smell and because of that she was an unknown stranger that had found this building just like him and Arnold.
That makes him think she may be working for the guys who were on guard or
"Arnold get out of here while you still can as I will deal with this girl." Porter tells him while getting his whip ready to be used again.
"Don't have to tell me to twitch." Arnold says as he starts running away with the princess.
"Oh shit you are not getting away!." Cecelia said as she soon started casting a spell aim at him.
Yet she wasn't going to be allowed to do that as the whip was coming at her fast, so in a swift movement cast a shielding spell to block and protect Cecelia from the weapon aim for her life.
"A mage this might be a little challenging, but I am sure that I can have this done soon."
Porter starts to change forward in his demi-human speed to kill Cecelia before she has any chance to cast any more spells.
He was fast enough because Cecelia was able cast a spell that quick and easy.
"Air Net!." Cecelia cast as Porter saw coming at him, he dodge in time before that attack could catch him.
When that just happens he tries again this time using his iron chain wipe to aid sending it straight to wrap itself around Cecelia arme giving her no chance to act once Porter pulls and swings her against a wall hard.
Porter wasn't done there he did it again to Cecelia hoping to end this fight fast enough before the kingdom guards get wind of this.
Body hit against a wall again Cecelia cough up blood along with feeling pain pass throughout her body.
She knows that something has to be done quickly so another spell must be casted.
"Infernal Heat Beam." Cecelia cast shooting it at Porter who was barely lucky to dodge that attack as well.
Sadly a part one of his arm got a burn a little during the time when safe to still keep his life Porter took back his whip and threw back at Cecelia.
"Cats' Dexterity." this spell that Cecelia cast upon herself allows her to move like that of a cat.
Cecelia swiftly moved in a cat-like way, reaching Porter in quick time as she sent an upper kick to his face.
At the time he was impressed with this human female mage and at the sametime was at a high amount piss off because of that kick to his pretty face.
Then try to go for a spin sideways kick which was an easy block and grab by Porter while he also spit out a tooth cover in his own blood onto the wooden floor.
"Nice kick you did to my face let me return the favor back girl." Porter said smiling.
Right then he sent a strong flying fist to Cecelia face, sending her back a few seconds on her back hard on the wooden floor.
She felt blood come out of her now broken nose as Cecelia fastly got up on her two feets.
"Normally I don't like to hurt a pretty girl like yourself in that way, but you did kick me damn hard to my face, so I think it's fine."
Porter started to warp his iron chain whip around his right arm until done.
"I know that it passes that point to ask this question, but before we get back into the fight, I like to know who you are before you die."
"You sound a little too cocky here demi-human thinking that I will meet my end this day."
"Don't you think motal girl, I mean you're a mage who masters with powerful spells, but there is a clear fact that your type has a limit in mana uses. The spells that you have cast most took a nice piece of mana of your might put you at a near point to getting tired and if that is not true that I could surely make that happen thinks to what I am."
Cecelia let a small laugh that Porter was interested in why that happened.
"It is true that those blessed with magic had the weakness of limits and no skill in combat or weaponry only put their time in life to learn the ways magic. Yet I am not like all the others since I have learned to use a weapon and how to do combat with my hands as well."
"Hmm interesting so you're saying your no normal mage I am facing right this moment well I like to test that and see with my very own, but maybe another time seems the guards have now caught the noise we have been making and are their way here. I can't be here when they come, so I got to say goodbye for now."
"And that is not going to happen." Cecelia is determined to get in his way.
Porter smiles before charging at full speed at first it seems that he was aiming to attack Cecelia at the front which she expected thinking she was ready to face him head on.
Then Porter quickly moved to appear behind her as that was the real aim, but it was not to end Cecelia life rather to just knock her out until next time if possible the two meet again.
Cecelia flet the power hit toward her head as she fell to the wooden floor before Porter passed out.
He takes in one last look at her to keep a good memory of what Cecelia looks like as he may seek out information about her after all this.
After a few minutes the guards come to see inside three dead bodies and a pass out Cecelia who they are fully aware of who she was and wonder what could have happened here.
One guard moves to her side carefully to awake her as Cecelia then shows signs of her eyes opening.
While at the sametime raising her body up.
"My lady Cecelia are you alright." that same guard asked.
"I am fine, just a little pain in my head, nothing to worry about and where the hell did that demi-human gone."
"Demi-human sorry we have not come across any could be the one who has attacked you."
Cecelia didn't respond back to the guard as she was focused on looking around seeing the other guards looking upon the three bodies while discovering what lay below.
"Shit Loren will not be happy about this."
