A Yellow Nixie


Nisa looked up from her dancing at the wonderful tree and sighed. What a happy moment. Surely everyone will join in the dancing. She tilts her head to the side and looks at her friends. The fighting had already begun in earnest.

Fiadra blinks for a few moments after realizing that she is sitting in green grass that grew beautifully in seconds. "What the hell?" She moves to her feet, and shakes her head. "Okay, okay. I'll fight. You could have just hit me with lightning or something..." She mutters in the closest thing she comes to a prayer. She straightens her fedora and goes to make trouble.

Nisa stands completely still for a moment. She hears screams and grunts and shouts, and pleas for help. Her eyes fill with tears, and she breaks. She runs blindly towards one side of the compound, stopping only to duck behind a tent. She sits there, covering her ears and closing her eyes.

Fiadra watches as one of the supporters of the green falls to his opponent. "Good, piece of cake. Already weakened him for me." She runs over to him, to attack the furry gentleman from behind. She bashes him on the shoulder as hard as she can with her two fists wrapped as one. The creature does not even flinch, nor does he turn around. "Oh shit" Fiadra manages to mumble as she is clawed in the gut and then thrown like a rag doll.

In the midst of Nisa's cowering, she hears a soft moan. The moan is followed my a slightly louder string of obsenities. Nisa glances up and sees a woman lying bleeding on the ground, not far from her. As she watches the woman turns her head and promptly passes out. Nisa crawls slowly over to Fiadra's form, and grabs her by her trenchcoat. She drags her behind the tent, and glances around. Hoping nobody noticed her.

Fiadra becomes aware of a pressure on her side, and a warm light dancing across her eyelids. Then she dozes for a few moments more, unaware that her life was in grave danger.
