The Amazons 2 Chapter 7 part 2
Racking up distance from her prior destruction PoiCyn finally enters the construction of the brigade headquarters. No loitering for this green miss she immediately began into a tryst with the remaining guards. Forlorn from a clue of what they were supposed to do they laughed out loud as a hideous green cat creature came into view.

Guard #1: "Ha Ha Ha!" "Who knew we would be visited this night by such a horrid sight." "A bright green cat?" "Did someone begat intercourse with a feline?"

Guard #2: "Ha Ha Ha!" "My mind's define of combining Amazon blood with something that shoves itself into trash?" "I cannot get past this ghastly sight."

Then, as if a light went off in the second guard's head the scars embedded on PoiCyn's face made her retrace her memory. The sentry then yelled out "Major Cyn?"

PoiCyn didn't acknowledge who she was before. Any memory stored in her brain to Cyn's acclaim were long gone. Now donned in the dragon's eye's bond her absconded mind was only inclined to do what it wanted so she responded to their verbal descents only with maximum lethal intent.

Unrelented she immediately jumped in the air and with claws hitting square against the first guard's neck inflicting a wound soo gruesome it loosened her head from her body as if made from shotty craftsmanship. Slipping to the ground it rolled around and found itself at the feet of the guard who could see PoiCyn's true identity.

The intensity of the situation was of a nightmarish imagination but this creation was all too real so she thought an appeal was in order.

"Major Cyn I don't know what horror you ensued to become one of two parts but to start a war with your own kind?" "You are still a sister of Athena's desi-ggggnn..aaaa....

No incline for mercy PoiCyn abruptly stopped her plea by proceeding to rip her vocal cords out. The guards devout words now gurgled and churned in blood with PoiCyn's claws shoved into her throat. Then as if nothing but a minor tote she was thrown to the side to die. Lying on the ground a loud gasping sound is now all that you hear as her death comes nearer with her every failed attempt at breath.

Content with her handiwork she shirked off the blood from her hands and began to scale the exterior surround of the most impenetrable compound ever built by Amazon hands. To stand at its base looking up you would be faced with a five-hundred-foot climb of the largest stones ever seen by human eyes. By our PoiCyn's saber cat claws ensured she took no pause from such a perilous climb in fact her design made short work of an ascent that would have sent ones of a less enthused heart walk away without even a start.

Imparting her presence on the rampart she began looking for a clue of where you would hide a Generals reside. But she was soon provided with more guards armed to the tooth so she felt it would behoove her to distract them rather than waste more time. Her prior crimes would soon wain surely Hex and Min are currently gaining ground back to town they would soon bring more so she decided to unlock their front door.

The drawbridge chains stored in the barbican retained the door locked so she immediately shot over to unlock the massive fifty-foot door. The remaining guards spared up to her sure she couldn't get away but once she cut the chains away their stay with PoiCyn was short-lived. Considered a security breach the guards were taught foremost to keep the door closed no matter what other perils they behold.

Now sold that she had bought herself time as her pursuers incline was now redesigned. She was free to find General Liz's quarters. After exploring almost every room she soon came across a heavily locked door shored with steel bars. With no guards to stop her, she uttered an insolent purrrrrr and the next thing heard were hinges being sliced in two. The door quickly askew PoiCyn let herself in to begin her spying on one of the biggest Amazon military designs ever attempted.

A dimly lit interior was presented and in the middle of the room soon a miniature model of their city was seen. An obscene attention to detail was on display they even made every single tree sit as though it would immediately start to grow with the show of the morning sun. Not undone in the least by this replete mock-up PoiCyn discretely started rummaging through secret documents only meant to be seen by the Amazon Queen. Quite keen to see what exactly was planned. After scanning through numerous papers she finally came to the fruit of her labors.

The surveyor's papers showed the boldest build ever attempted by the battalion's engineering guild. A giant hydroelectric dam that spanned the paper. Its labor would take the entire brigade to lay such a massive array of bricks and depicted on the corner were the dates the brigade would be away. Just the info she needed to slay Lyn and her kin to win the dragon eye's favor. Though it was her enslaver the eye didn't deny PoiCyn's ample apply of violence. It just stood silent far off to the East waiting to once again be complete.

Then, very discretely our cloaked figure appeared in the room and stepped out of the darkened gloom. FUMING with anger it was General Liz quick to quiz PoiCyn on her reasons to kill her guards and let herself in past yards of locked steel.

General Liz: " Beast!" "Reveal your intentions with our Amazon inventions!"

PoiCyn: "My contentions are none of your concern." "I only yearn to take the Amazon crown down."

General Liz: "Well, I am honor bound to protect whoever sits on the throne so you now hold my attention beast to see you are bequeathed a timely death before you set foot next to my Queen."

PoiCyn: "Between you and I?" "Ha ha ha!" "I swear you will be the one to die."

No further implies of violence needed, Liz heeded her gut and knew this nut needed to be taken down before she could touch the crown. Reknown for her cunning Liz felt stunning this beast would be the best way to beat it.

She quickly unseated PoiCyn by grabbing her feet nearly missing the sweep from her deadly claws. Her paws were then flung into the air from Liz's daring toss landing her clear across the room bestrune amidst broken furniture. Liz further lured her in by intentionally coming within her range if only to attain an edge. She intentionally lead PoiCyn on to donn her nails into obsidian chain mail. She struggled to no avail and then Liz wailed a battle cry.

General Liz: "Die you horrid creature!"

Attempting to be PoiCyn's reaper she ran with sword brandished in hand outward to stab her attacker. Never the slacker PoiCyn saw her daring move and utilizing her saber cat improvements by somersaulting in the air daring to land behind Liz and jamb her claws into her back.

After a loud gasp, Liz's body went slack and fell to the floor. Blood immediately poured from her chest. It seems PoiCyn had cut straight through to her breast. Still possessed by the chain mail she finally curtailed their take of her hands by dangling from the rafters.

Just a matter of minutes later our other traitors Hex and Min let themselves in and immediately start to stare at Poicyn's heinous sin. Herein laid Liz's dead body spread open by her claws. A pause, no word uttered but just shock to see one of the greatest Amazon warriors freed of breath at their cohorts' behest. Finally, pressing for more information Min stations herself next to the fallen Amazon knight and recites an ancient last rite. Hex, excited at the scene knowing one less Amazon stands in between her and her obscene plans she quickly scans for the keys on Liz's belt. As if no further insult could be dealt she promptly felt where they were kept and rips them away off to find her playbook of spells.

PoiCyn's ego now swelled by felling one of the most formidable Amazon foes she shows Min where she stood just before Liz attacked. Min's lack of interest in PoiCyn's game perhaps makes her a little more sane but there is one inside Min's brain that wants to claim more information. Vek, stationed hundreds of miles away patiently watching this play out ever devout to the Vrill he takes control of her soul once more to see what is in store for the Amazon Brigade.

Min immediately made a bee-line for the plans and the intricate model standing on the table. Unable to fight her brain might as well sit this one out as paper after paper was dealt through her hands as if a computer was scanning every detail. Her hand flailing about at high speed it keyed Poicyn into something wrong she donned an aire of doubt and promptly shouted.

PoiCyn: "Out of all those scrolls you did hold for but a moment are you going to give me enrollment of your plans?"

Min began to stand erect from her scans her hands immediately stopped as if blocked by an invisible wall it seemed all too robotic for PoiCyn to fall for it.

Suddenly the emit of the Amazon conch horn tore through the air warning them that reinforcements dared to male their way to the Brigade Headquarters. Both knowing that every second they loiter meant that they might be caught, they immediately sought the exit though disparate in mind neither of their kind needed to be caught and sought for retribution of General Liz's premature conclusion.
