Udyr struck her staff, the bones in his fist reverberating from the strike. His Tiger aspect would have cleaved Aurus in twain, but the Starchild's staff was made of some sort of metal far stronger than steel. The beast man raised an eyebrow at Soraka's intervention. "That would be the point, yes. He challenged us to a fight, he lost, he will die. That is nature." The beast man growled at her, "Stand aside, Starchild. This is not your fight."
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

Meanwhile, in a completely different section of forest...
So is THIS a GOOD spot???
...
WELL i dont KNOW!! you said ANY FOREST would BE FINE!
....
Then here SHOULD be GOOD!! lots of TREES, good LIGHTING...and THERE'S berries EVERYWHERE!!
...
yea OK! i'll PLACE the MAT down, can YOU get THE Picnic BASKET? what DO you WANT to EAT first MR. PIGGLES?
gaaaaooooooo!
THAT should already be IN the BASKET then! I'll START a FIRE.
From the inside of her hat, the sorceress pulls out a large ice cube and sets in in the middle of a ring of stones. With a few taps of her wand, the ice cube bursts into flames with a warmth similar to a properly prepared campfire. Lulu then pulls a large apple from her picnic bag and places it on top of the ice cube to slowly roast.
well NOW that THATS settled, YOU two can START eating!!
You find us funny, do you not? A source of amusement. Is that not so? With our pretty clothes, and our convoluted circumlocutions and our little silliness of manner and behavior. And perhaps we are funny... But you must never imagine, that just because something is funny,it is not dangerous.

The Starchild shook her head. She had finished her assessment and found woulds all over the man's body. There were many cuts and bruises, even some broken bones. He desperately needed medical treatment.
"Not everyone's definition of a fight is to the death. Some are friendly, or for training."
When Udyr growled she stood and walked in front of Aurus.
"Let me take this man out of here Udyr. I do not wish to fight you, but I will if I must. Please, I will take him from here and he will no longer be a problem."
The cruelty of one will not blind me of the suffering of many.

The beast man growled at her, "He clearly said he wished to fight us, to gauge the strength of the Hirana martial arts, if it were worthy enough for him to learn. If it were not, then he would have slain us instantaneously."
Udyr's eyes narrowed, boring into the Starchild's as he lumbered over to her. He straightened himself to his full height and glared at Soraka, flames flickering about his body. "If he wished to live, he would have asked to spar us. Even if you save him now, he will not learn. He will return, and ask us for the Hirana arts again, which we will tell him once more: Go to the Hirana monastery. The Hirana arts is not our technique, as you know well enough. It is the focus of one's spirit into one's fists, into their every movement. It is to use your aura and push it to the pivot point to exemplify one's natural technique and skill."
The bones in his hands cracked as he balled them into fists. The beast man pumped one of his hands upwards, flames shrieking out from it and created the fiery image of a phoenix in the sky above them, singeing the top of the cherry tree. "He did not face the Hirana arts, he faced our rage."
Udyr's nose twitched. He looked around and growled in annoyance. He lowered his fist, the fire died out but he continued to stare at Soraka. "Count yourself lucky that you are one of the children of the stars, Soraka. Take the quivering insect with you. If he returns and we see the same foolish man as before, not you, not the Kinkou, not even Lee will stop us. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the fate of every man who challenges our fists."
His nose twitched once more, and he started to walk away. "Something beckons us. Do what you wish."
The beast man rumbled towards a seemingly random direction, not saying one word more.

Lulu's Section of the Forest
Despite the distance, the Yordle would sense something, someone, or rather, a group of somethings and ones advance towards her at a modest pace.
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole.

Aurus almost did't believe that the Starchild herself had come to save him. He almost mistook her for some hallucination from the intense pain of his wounds.
Aurus listened to Udyr's words carefully. He knew that crossing him again any time soon would lead to his demise.
At the monastery, the monks taught him that a true warrior should not underestimate his opponent or overestimate his own skills and now he would suffer for it. But he had forgotten the many lessons of his youth after he had defeated the grandmaster. He had allowed himself to be overcome with hubris, that he could fight champions on equal footing. And now he would suffer for it.
But from suffering comes learning and Udyr had taught him the greatest lesson of his life. He was strong, but not nearly as strong as he thought. How can I hope to avenge my family if I cannot even protect myself? I cannot even fight one champion, let alone multiple. He only had one answer for himself. Train, train as hard as he could. As he watched Udyr leave, he made a vow to himself. I will meet you again one day Udyr. And on that day, I hope I am worthy enough to learn from you.
He looked up to the women who's lap he rested on.
"I thank you for your intervention Starchild. I will not trouble you any further." He tried to stand, but his body protested. Pain coursed through him, especially his chest. He fell back down, into Sorakas lap

The Sorceress, The Pixie, and The Baby Dragon were all happily enjoying their meals without distraction. That is, until Mr. Piggles suddenly dropped his steak and growled towards the trees. Pix gives Lulu an inquisitive look while continuing to munch on his berry.
....
yes YES i know SOMETHING is ON its way! that DOESN'T mean ITS gonna BOTHER us!
...
hmmmm, IT seems LIKE local ANIMALS...or MAYBE local GODS!! one is a TIGER; the other is A bear; THE third is a Bird..no, PHOENIX; and THE last ONE is a TURTLE!!
......
yea YOU do HAVE a point! Turtles DON'T move THAT FAST on land....
Mr. Piggles continues to growl at the trees
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....
oh DONT be RUDE Mr. Piggles!! maybe THEY, or RATHER he, is JUST hungry!! Did you EAT all the STEAKS already?
gao...
*sigh* oh WELL!! I hope HE likes FRUITS and VEGETABLES then!
In a matter of seconds, The Sorceress conjures a simple plate on the picnic mat. She then plunges her hand in the fire to retrieve the apple that was roasting and places it on the plate while Mr Piggles and Pix piles various roasted and raw vegetables and fruits on the plate. Lulu hums out a tune as she waits for the creature to show itself

Soraka says nothing to Udyr. Instead she bows to him to show her respect. She watches as he leaves, relieved that something else has caught his attention. Once he is out of sight she kneels back down to attend to the injured man. She gasped as he tried to stand.
"Stop, you must not move! You are hurt very badly."
She brings her hand over his chest, where the worst of his injuries are. Her hand glows as she begins her healing magic. His ribs snap back into their proper place and mend back together.
"My name is Soraka, The Starchild. May I inquire as to what your name is sir?"
The cruelty of one will not blind me of the suffering of many.

Lulu's Picnic
The trees rumbled. One of them groaned as its branches were pushed aside. The beast man loomed in view of the Fae Sorceress. Udyr's eyes narrowed, flicking every which way as he studied the scene.
"...What are you doing here?" The beast man's nose twitched every which way. "These are not your glades."

Aurus felt like a child as she tended to his wounds. There was something about Soraka's presence that made Aurus fell calm. His whole body felt warm and tingly, but he put that off as her healing magic. What would have taken weeks to a month she healed in minutes.
Her magic is truly powerful.
He sat up after she finished healing him. His ribs ached slightly, but they were as good as they were before. He looked at her as she asked his question.
"I know who you are Starchild. I don't think anyone in Ionia wouldn't recognize you. I am Aurus, or Kitai if you prefer that. Any other day I would have told you I was a great warrior, but today I am but a humbled man."
He adjusted his sitting position, so he was sitting on top of his legs.
"You have saved my life today. For that, I am in your debt. Ask me anything, and if it is in my power, I will help you."

Lulu looks up at Udyr and simply smiles at him while enjoying her meal
you're RIGHT!! THIS isn't THE GLADE but it is A GLADE, AND thats all that REALLY matters now DOESN'T it? AS for what WE'RE doing, weeeeeell WE'RE having a PICNIC!!
Lulu points to the plate full of roasted vegetables and fruits.
I'd GIVE YA some BEEF but the PORKY dragon OVER THERE ate ALL of the STEAKS.
Lulu gives Udyr an amused looked as she finished speaking
you DO eat Fruits AND vegetables, RIGHT?

The beast man stared at Lulu, his brow knitted and a displeased expression on his face. He eventually replied, "We do."
Udyr rumbled over and sat down in front of the plate. He looked over at Lulu, trying to gain a better handle as to how this Yordle was not fearful of him. She was in his territory, after all. "Why...'picnic', here? You do not look to be a hunter or poacher, nor does your aura read of an intent to fight us. Why come here of all places?"

Lulu takes a sip of water from a flask

Lulu points at Udyr for dramatic effect
YOU'RE madly IN LOVE with ME and you chose THIS TIME to CONFESS to ME after STALKING ME for two MONTHS!!! well you SHOULD be very happy TO KNOW that I am SINGLE, you LUCKY person YOU!!
Lulu smiles broadly at Udyr after finishing her statement

"No," the beast man grunted. "We do not love anyone or anything. We do not love you." Udyr tapped the side of his nose as he spoke. "We could smell you. Hear you. An unfamiliar presence in these woods. We were seeing who would come here and for what purpose. That is all."

Lulu chuckles aloud at Udyr's refusal
ahahaa...what YOU need is a SENSE of HUMOR!!!
Lulu finishes up her fruits and places her, Pix's, and Mr. Piggles', plates in the picnic basket. The sorceress eyes the beast man for a good thirty seconds before her mouth splits into a wide smile.
you know...I'M don't have ANYTHING PLANNED for the rest of THE day...or the for the WEEK! i ALSO dont have ANY matches PLANNED for me EITHER so....
Lulu plants her wand into the ground and crosses her arms. She gives Udyr a challenging, but playful, glare and smiles maliciously
you SAID that i DIDN'T want to FIGHT you EARLIER, right? well WHAT DOES my AURA say nooow?~
Pix flutters around Lulu's left shoulder while Mr. Piggles hovers around her right. both givig the Beast man the same playful stare.
would YOU MIND to DANCE with ME?
