Hunting a bounty.

Scarlet's eyes went wide when after she fired her missile and shot them towards Trisha's body the girl ducked in under them and managed to avoid being hit by her attack, all before the girl came towards her quite quickly and threw a sword slash at her. The red headed witch wasn't sure what to do for a mere fraction of a moment all before she would tap into the power of her left bangle and channel magical energy through it making it glow and within and instant create a shield in front of her out of magical energy blocking the sword though the mithril blade would leave quite a crack in the temporary magical shield.

" Whew...didn't think I'd have to use the rings on someone like you. but since one has been used. I might as well go a bit serious on you." Scarlet said as she would have two other bangles light up, she would jump back and with a flash of light she would create a mirror image of her, looking like the real Scarlet and when she did that she also used the power of another of the four rings, the ring that made her clock herself, making her near invisible and from that the real Scarlet would move away from the mirror image whilst the clone would stand and gesture for Trisha to come at her.

As Trisha maneuvered under the missiles, she was sure she would catch Scarlet off guard. Those widened eyes and the fact that Scarelt did indeed seem quite surprised would cause Trisha to crack a small grin before that would quickly fade when she realized what had happened. "..What!?" She let out as she saw the magical shield suddenly appear in front of the girl, her sword colliding with that instead, though leaving a nice crack in it, unfortunately that wasn't going to do her any good. It was clear the shield was made of magic and she didn't really damage any sort of physical armor, causing her to click her tongue in frustration.

"You shouldn't take me so lowly. I may not have magic like you do, but I'm sure I am a better fighter than you are." Trisha would say, narrowing her eyes as she stood up straight. She would watch the girl's bangles light up, gritting her teeth a bit as she tried to attack her before she could launch any sort of magical offense. Not noticing the instantaneous mirror image that Scarlet made through the flash of light, Trisha would sidestep a bit, quickly lunging her sword forward, going seemingly right through Scarlet, though seconds after realizing that she had impaled a mirror image, hitting nothing but air. She would widen her eyes, quickly trying to readjust herself and go on guard.

Scarlet smiled a bit when it seemed as if Trisha fell for her trick and with that she began to quietly move in behind the girl, stepping behind her as her arcane seals were gone and magical energy would charge to her right palm making the edge of her hand glow which thankfully couldn't be seen through the clock. She would watch as the girl moved back into her guard and finally when the attack was ready she would let out a light laugh before moving her palm up and pressing it against Trisha's back.

" Blow away~" Scarlet said teasingly as just the light around her palm would be scolding hot against Trisha's back, and after her words escaped her mouth she would release the energy for her most powerful attack, The Arcane Fury. An attack that has leveled villages when Scarlet added enough power to the attack, for now it wasn't that powerful, first because Trisha's bounty was for the girl coming back alive and the other that she hadn't had enough time to charge it up to such a degree. But a point blank hit of a low charge arcane break was more than enough to shatter armor and put some serious hurt on someone.

Trisha had to be as cautious as she could when she found out that she had just stabbed through nothing but a mirror image. The girl had to be prepping something, but unfortunately for Trisha she couldn't scope it out in time. Scarlet had been able to make her way behind her, Trisha suddenly feeling the girl's palm press against her back, causing her to let out a little gasp, looking over her shoulder before she would hear the girl's words.

"Gh..you-GAAAAGH!!!" Trisha would feel the impact explode onto her back, the scorching heat from the girl's attack quickly disintegrating the straps that held her chest and shoulderplates to her, causing them instantly to fall off as well as scorching a good part of her dress, her back nearly completely exposed down to her waist other than her black bra strap that had survived the scorching. She would immediately fall to all fours from the blast of arcane energy, clenching her sword tightly and breathing heavily, trying to deal with the intense stinging pain on her back. "Haagh..god....what..was that??"

Scarlet let out a little laugh as she watched the girl seemingly squirm a bit as she would then step up to the girl as she was on all fours and said what she did. Scarlet was no visible for Trisha as she had to disengage the clocking spell. Scarlet out move up to Trisha's body and press her foot down against the girl's back and attempt to press her down towards the ground and grind her boot against the area that she had hit Trisha with her Arcane Fury before.

" Well that was easy enough. " Scarlet said as she wasn't about to take any chances right now, but she wanted to bask in the moment of glory that she had without seeming to be all on guard. So what Scarlet would do was that she would let her magical energy channel through her body and absorb the magic around her and enhance her body using her Arcane Enchantment power.

Trisha would breathe in and out heavily, trying to regain herself as she saw Scarlet reappear. She would shake her head, looking down at the ground as she did. "You...can't beat me without your..cheap tricks?" She would let out before she felt the girl's boot dig into her back on the area her arcane fury move had hit before. Her back still stung from the move and now feeling her boot grind in there was excruciating. She let out a loud yell, clenching her fists and eyes shut tightly, being forced onto her front, flat on the ground.

Hearing Scarlet's words, Trisha shook her head, gripping her sword even tighter than before, not knowing at all that Scarlet was enhancing her body. Her body was aching in pain from the grinding, knowing she had to act. She would try to pull her arm back, trying to maneuver her hand to try and slash a circle behind her back, trying to cut at the girl's leg.

Scarlet looked down on the girl and kept pushing her foot down against the girl's back, keeping her pinned to the ground and probably pained the girl a little bit as she did, which seemed to work a bit in what she was doing to her. Scarlet though now had managed to finish her enhancement magic and was ready to tussle with this fighter, since she had chosen now to stay so close she would need to keep herself protected. Scarlet would then feel how Trisha pushed her off a bit and the swung her sword towards the red headed witches body.

She slightly jumped back a bit only letting the blade glance her body but left no mark on her skin or clothing, thanks to the magic she was protected and it was the magic armour around her that got damaged from the Mithril blade. " Ow...that wasn't very nice." Scarlet said as she would attempt and throw a punch down on the ground to send a slight tremor in the ground, maybe shake the ground up a bit for Trisha in an attempt to make the girl see just what she could do.

As Trisha slashed her sword at Scarlet, she would watch and see the blade go across her body, skimming it. She was sure that the blade connected with the feel of the slash. Somehow though, she saw not a scratch on the girl, as the blade was only able to damage her magic armor. "Hm.." Trisha would start to try to formulate some sort of plan to take her on before she would see the girl slam her fist into the ground, feeling it shake underneath her.

"What??" She let out at the feeling, pushing herself up to her feet with her eyes widened, staring at the girl in near disbelief. "What..in the world...are you?"

Scarlet would grin a bit as she would watch and hear what Trisha said and would then started to laugh a bit all up to the point when Trisha asked what she was, Something that prompted Ish'thar to speak up. " Well that's not polite ! " Ish'thar called out and then Scarlet shook her head a bit, and shrugged her shoulders. " Sorry Ish...I guess I got carried away." Scarlet spoke to her necklace as she then would walk up a bit closer to Trisha.

" My name is Scarlet Evendale! I'm the Scarlet Witch, Bounty hunter and wielder of the Arcane forces, bearer of the four rings of Evendale and the host of Ish'thar!" Scarlet said as she introduced herself fully to Trisha, " You forgot her.." Ish'thar spoke and that was something that made Scarlet's spine shiver. " Do not mention her! Shhh...mentioning her might wake her up you stupid necklace!" Scarlet let out as she would stomp hard on the ground, with her enhancement it would make the ground shake quite a bit.

" Fine...I'm also the host of Morrigan..." Scarlet said with a low tone of voice as she looked on at Trisha for a few seconds, " So there we go. You're turn."

"Tch.." Trisha couldn't help but get slightly frustrated as the girl laughed at her words. It was nearly humiliating having this girl seemingly ridicule her so much before that voice would scold her. She watched as Scarlet talked back to her necklace, Trisha putting herself on guard as the girl would start to walk towards her.

She would hear her talk about who she was, causing Trisha to look her up and down. The girl was definitely something big, and Trisha couldn't help but find herself quite unlucky to having crossed paths with her in this sort of way. A girl like her is definitely someone that Trisha would much rather have fighting on her side. However, when she seemed to not like what the voice from her necklace said, shaking the ground with her stomp, Trisha would tilt her head, interested quite a bit as she held her ground.

"Morrigan?..Care to explain what that is?" Trisha let out before she would say it was her turn. Sighing, Trisha felt it was only courtesy to introduce herself back. "I am Trisha Birkin, the daughter of The Theresa and Nathan Birkin..I am a topclass warrior from..their town. I would love to explain to you whoever put that bounty on me is mislead, but I doubt that would influence your decision to take it now would it." She let out, choosing intentionally to leave out her town's name, knowing the reputation the town now had with the rulers that took over.
