Now taking the opportunity, Alyssa sends the Goliath Doll straight toward Clifford, using it's giant blades to cut him down. She would empower Frenzy so that the doll would move considerably faster.
" A valiant effort. It will do no good. " She said, emotionless and brutally cold. Absolutely nothing you could read if you studied her face close enough. However, in her eyes, was sadness.
The Goliath doll now charged toward Clifford, sharing the exact same face as Alyssa, emotionless.
"I can say this; do not underestimate what power is in your hands, it can lead to traumatic experiences in life."

When the goliath doll wan in range with its weapon ready Clifford moved quickly to intercept the blade from above, changing its direction and making a trike of his own impaling the doll in the chest, when the blade was profusely in the insides of the doll it exploded in many pieces some of them even incrusting in Clifford’s arm. “That’s it” he said knowing really well that she wouldn’t stop if asked nicely he closed the distance and punched with his wounded arm on the temple knocking her out cold.

" W-What, What are you doi-" She was interrupted from being punched cold, She was knocked out. Falling to the ground with the grimoire dropping out of her hands, she lands, beaten and broken. She managed to hide her brokenness by being brutally cold. However now that she has fallen, she reveals it now. Little tears here and there from in her dress, and Serenity flies out of the grimoire, bouncing up and down on the road also.
Looking around for her master, she looks down and flies next to her fallen owner, looking at her face and touching it before turning around and giving an angry glare at Clifford.
"I can say this; do not underestimate what power is in your hands, it can lead to traumatic experiences in life."

“Tsk this is why I said that why should end it earlier” he said showing some guilt over hitting her even if her arm was bleeding profusely he was now more concerned about her. He extended his left hand that was not as hurt to her “Here get up you give more than a good fight you should feel proud of yourself, you have a special talent and I think that a certain person here want’s to recognize it.” He said smiling at her and trying to cheer her up.

The brawl escalated. These two weren't holding back before, but now it's as if they've unleashed all they could muster on each other. After various exchanges between the two, Alyssa finally summoned a gargantuan doll before Clifford. This doll began its charge. Clifford retaliated swiftly with a sword thrust into the behemoth. Shyvana did not anticipate the incoming explosion, she almost lost her footing. The Half Dragon had her right hand and left knee on the floor but she continued to observe the combatants' actions. Clifford was more than ready to take his next move; he ran to Alyssa's position and prepared to strike. Shyvana opened her mouth to shout toward him in fear of the girl being severely injured, but it was too late. He struck her across the head. "C-Clifford..!" She panted jogging in their direction. Shyvana brushed past Clifford's extended hand, knelt beside Alyssa and lifted her up lightly holding her back and arm. "Are you okay Miss Alyssa?" She spoke softly before shooting an agitated look at Clifford. "I may have left this go on for far too long, they are both very impressive fighters..."

Alyssa doesn't really remember anything from being struck in the head, and waking up with Shyvana next to her.
" ...Well... I can't say that.. She said, now having emotion in her voice. " My head hurts ridiculously... I don't remember what happened, honestly. My head just hurts thinking about it.... "
She felt very awkward in Shyvana's arms, so she quickly stood up before toppling down.
" Where's my grimoire...? I can't let Serenity waiting..." She looked around, not being able to see it next to her with her blurry vision and her headache, from being struck in the head and barely any mana left.
" Serenity can wait... I'm sleepy... " She said, eyelids heavy. Alyssa lay down on the broken pavement, despite being rock solid she snored. When she tried to lay down, something caught her, but she smacked it away.
Serenity was actually following Alyssa in her half-awake state. It struggled to keep her awake, even getting underneath her and pushing her up with all the dolls strength, despite being tossed out. When the doll regained it's senses, it had a bright red face in frustration and went down to Alyssa and kicked her arm, gently.
Serenity sat down next to Alyssa, as if watching guard.
"I can say this; do not underestimate what power is in your hands, it can lead to traumatic experiences in life."

“May?” Clifford replied to Shyvana with a snarky tone pointing at his still bleeding and burned arm, while he was trying to retrieve to pieces of metal still incrusted on it.
He had already secured the greimore since he it seemed to be important for Alyssa in more way than one and smiled seeing the doll interact with her owner “Sigh this is why I thought it wasn’t a good idea, she IS strong but she has serious problems. She needs friends and be a kid right now more than become part of the military.” He said concerned about her going from showing false emotions, to none at all, to break into tears like a small child.
After retrieving all the pieces of his sword that where on his arm he put his other hand over the wounds and burned the wounds to make sure they wouldn’t infect and to stop the bleeding, after that he put his gauntlet on again “I think we should take her home after all if OUR fault that things ended this way.”

Shyvana watched as Alyssa gradually rose up. Her voice was sincere, "You two were fighting rather fiercely... no hesitations either. I-I'm sorry I let th-" Instantly her body crumpled back down, yet The Half Dragon did not relent upon securing her frail body. The small doll, Alyssa was referring to as Serenity, stood guard next to her unconscious body. The little being looked over at Shyvana with an agitated demeanor, she reciprocated an apologetic look. Shyvana did not want anyone to suffer extensive wounds, she only wanted a display of skill.
The two caused quite a commotion to stir around the town square, spectators were gathered around to observe the battle that ensued. The Half Dragon called over a solider to fetch a healer or at least what they could spare for the girl and Clifford. The conscious combatant was standing in a slight hunched stature behind Shyvana. "All right... I let the battle stray on for too long.." sighing afterwards. "Alyssa has the capability of holding her own. Her expertise with these dolls... especially for her age is a hell of a thing to behold. I can only remember one other who held similar potential... and she was a champion." Shyvana was concerned for Clifford because of the change in his expression, yet she kept a more militaristic tone with him. "Let's go and get you patched up Clifford, those wounds aren't going to heal themselves fully. We'll get this all settled..." Shyvana gave Serenity a nod of approval before lifting up Alyssa.

“Sigh don’t worry I’m a fast healer…it was my fault to I might have taken it too serious towards the end, but her natural talent is really something.” He said regaining his more respectful formal tone of voice towards Shyvana. “After a fast healing I can continue with my and we can let Alyssa in care of the healers for now.” He said seeing how Shyvana was concerned about Alyssa “They can take better care of her than us.”

Shyvana motioned for a few healers to take Alyssa to a nearby medical camp for proper healing. "We'll need to visit her later... I'll more than likely have a task for Alyssa by then." The Half-Dragon pulled Clifford aside to speak with him privately whilst the citizens refined the battle-torn streets.
"Next time... incapacitate her in a more conventional way.. I don't think a jab to the temple was the appropriate method." She looked flustered, feeling responsible - not to mention guilty. It's certainly not the first time something of this matter occurred, yet this was a child; in her eyes at least. "In the meantime, come with me. I'd like to show you something."

Clifford just sighted at the call out that Shyvana give him for punching Alyssa it is true that it had been a rough method but he was an expert on many other nonlethal methods of capture. “Yes Shyvana” he said to her in a respectful tone as he followed her while she guided him to their destination. Truth to be told he was a little curious to find where the draconian lady was guiding him.

The pair walked past the gates of Demacia. The lands were scarred with remnants of the once unknown threat, the barren landscape, a grim reminder recent encounter. In the distance, countless bodies were spread across the charred battlefield. Shyvana coughed slightly from the stench the area gave off. She looked across the horizon. "...We thought we were prepared for anything. Demacia was indeed shorthanded.." The Half Dragon seemed to be shimmering under the sun's glow. Her skin looked moist, as it always was due to her constant heat emission, but even more so at this moment. She wiped the opposite of her palm across her forehead, easing her uneasiness. Shyvana's lips parted gingerly. After a small pause, she managed to speak, "I apologize that you had to return to... this. But I appreciate all the help we receive."
Shyvana turned around to face Clifford. Her eyes were tired, yet gentle. "The Prince agreed that assistance from Piltover would help greatly. Although... I am not familiar with much of the land outside of Demacia." The Half Dragon sighed, unsure of the next venture she should pursue. "Clifford... was there something you had in mind before we head back into town?" Shyvana spoke, Feeling at a loss.

The stench of charred lands coupled with the recently spilled blood filled Clifford’s nose, it came as a frightening realization that he was already too goddam used to the stench of war and death to even grimace at it. “My regret is not coming to a city in this state, but not have been here when this occurred to help my brothers and sisters in the defense of it… All I can do now is help to reconstruct it.” He said with a glimmer of sadness on his eyes.
“But now is not the time to mourn over past regrets but to strength ourselves in preparation for whatever comes next.” He said on a more resolute tone of voice and straightening his figure.
“Well truth to be told one of the first places I wanted to visit after my return was the Crownguard state, as the newly appointed head of one of the branch families I need to pay my due respects to the main family.”

Shyvana nodded. She let her hand rest beside her. Lingering in past actions won't move anyone forward. And Clifford must be feeling the guilt of not being present at a dire time such as this... Shyvana agreed that he was not at fault. The Half Dragon closed her eyes and tilted her down, exhaling a relieved sigh. She was glad more help had arrived. Alyssa and Clifford will definitely be handy assets in the future.
"I will escort you. It's the least I can do at the moment." She gave Clifford an assured smile. "Miss Luxanna should be at the estate. I hope she doesn't mind company." Shyvana walked back toward the great Demacian gates beckoning for the soldier to follow.

Clifford smiled back to Shyvana and followed her to the Crownguard state where he had business to attend to. ((Continues here: maelstromlol.freeforums.net/index.cgi?board=demacia&action=display&thread=1174 )) ((Time skip to an undetermined amount of time later)) Clifford came back to the healers tent after some time to see how Alyssa was doing and to return her tome. “May I come in?" he asked in the tent he was told Alyssa was resting in.
