Cargal and Kilnor are... Nomore?

Reima continues his ambushes until the only Prospects left are the two guards of the Third Marked one, he decides that he will get rid of these foes quickly so he can spend all his energy on Cargal and Kilnor who stay in a ruined wooden house around a mile away from the marked one.

Unsheathing his steel sword Reima blinks beside a guard mid-swing and behead him before he could even react, the other guard does though and jumps into actions before being burned alive by a stream of Igni. Most Prospects don't really have a defence against fire, the bosses are able to utilise the Fold more skilfully so their shields would probably negate the entirety of it.

The last guard drops to his knees smouldering and disapates into Yellow particles.

Reima doesn't immediately approach the hooded Marked one, she knows he is there due to the screaming of her previous guards but just waits for his arrival. Reima uses the Elder Blood infused Quen shield to reduce his air resistance and channels Armament Haki into his arm to increase his swing speed. He blinks behind the female Marked one and swings as hard and fast as he can, the marked one somehow dodges away from him as if she knew it was coming and only gets nicked on her arm. Not willing to give up his momentum he continues hard and fast strikes that eventually break her blocks, out of stamina she stumbles as his sword pierces her hooded face immediately making her body dissipate into particles.

Reima "Right, now just to loot this place and fight the twins..."

After finding some Forest callers pants and not much else Reima starts walking up the steep hills that eventually will lead to the tower of Adal, before he can start ascending it though, he needs to kill Kuretz and the remaining marked ones. He continues climbing until he finds a wooden tower that looks like it hasn't been maintained in years, centuries even.

Knowing this is the place where the Twins will be he prepares himself, not knowing how strong they are compared to the other combatants he has faced thus far.

As he steps inside he hears two pairs of feet on the wood above, they start descending down the stairs until they can get a good look at Reima. The female Cargal has short brown hair and looks like shes been punched in the face too many times to be attractive. The male Kilnor has short hair and a thick stubble, hes not as big as Angrel but he's definitely around 6.4ft. What makes Reima most interested in them is their lack of masks... Some how, they don't need masks to be reborn from the alters.

Cargal "Brother, it seems like those annoying Guides have sent another one... Shall we sacrifice this one as well?"

Kilnor "No, sister look. His lack of mask and cat eyes, he's different."

Cargal looks closer at him and almost gapes, "It is true! Are you a messenger of the gods?"

Reima "No, I don't follow whatever gods you and the Guides claim to exist."

They both look offended by his response.

Cargal "The gods are real! They gifted us with immortality so we can claim the essence mines from those heretical Guides!"

Reima "So the gods granted you immortality? How?"

Kilnor crosses his arms, "Do not try to explain miracles or misfortune will befall you. If you are not a messenger of the gods, why do you're eyes resemble theirs?"

Reima confused asks them to elaborate, there is no way Witchers also exist in this world.

Cargal "Our god take the form of a panther, they wait in the shadows and protect us."

Kilnor "Our tribes have been saved a number of times by their warnings."

Cargal "We dedicate our lives to combat the only enemy that could harm them..."

Cargal and Kilnor "The Guides." They both say in unison after talking for each other... Reima wishes they would stop the unnerving speech pattern.

Reima "That's great and all but I didn't come here to chat..." He drops into a stance as they seem sad that their supposed messiah wants to claim their heads but they get ready for combat as well.

They both approach at the same time, their steps mimicking each other and if Reima hears rightly even their heart beats are in sync. Cargal does a quick jab and Kilnor circles round to flank, Reima blocks Cargal's jab and uses Windfall to dodge Kilnor's flanking palm strike. He pirouettes around the slowed Kilnor to place him between Cargal and Reima himself, he then kicks hard at Kilnor's stomach but he uses Khalt to absorb it but doesn't manage to Absorb the elbow strike following it. Kilnor backs into Cargal due to trying to escape from the strikes Reima is dishing out, Cargal deftly moves past her brother and performs a flying knee that almost breaks Reima's nose. As she's dropping down from her knee strike Reima kicks her legs out of the air making her fall on her side.

Kilnor comes rushing to assist his sister with large sweeping round house strikes which knock Reima off balance, allowing the downed Cargal to sweep his legs from the floor.

Knowing he's in deep trouble he blinks away from them as his back touches the floor and a fist is planted where his head would be.

Reima takes a deep breath while looking at their confused backs, "Man, you guys are tough... But isn't it a little unfair to fight two on one?"

Cargal "Nothing is unfair in Love and War."

Reima "I know this is war but it would be kinda gross if you two included love..."

The twins stop responding and draw their weapons, Cargal's looks like an agile short sword and Kilnor's looks like the stone sword Reima had found previously.

Reima unsheathes his weapon in response and gets ready for their attack. Kinlor storms forwards slamming his heavy blade downward on Reima who dodges with Windfall, Cargal follows up and tries to shiv Reima multiple times with her short sword but Reima blocks the strikes with a Haki infused fist. He plants his foot down on Kilnor's stone sword to prevent him going for another strike as he swings his sword at Cargal who blocks it with her short sword but stumbles away at it's force.

Kilnor tries to punch Reima who's currently standing on his weapon but Reima uses Quen to take the blow and stabs through Kilnor's Achilles tendon which results in him falling to the floor.

Cargal "Brother!" She charges in a rage at Reima for injuring her brother which unfortunately for her, makes it easy to predict her desperate strikes.

Reima twists and ducks under another strike before uses his momentum to cleave her in two. Kilnor who's still alive but crippled shouts for his sister as she fade away in Yellow particles.

Kilnor "This is not over, our gods will allow us retribution! No matter how many times you defeat us we will seek revenge!"

Reima shrugs, "Yeah good luck with that." as he finishes Kilnor off. The only thing he leaves behind is a glowing yellow orb that turns out to be his steel pauldron.

After the fight Reima decides to make a camp further up the path to avoid them immediately coming back and killing him in his sleep.
