Looking around for anything suspicious and using Ari's emotions to see what he cannot, Cyrus' eyes suddenly widened. As fast as he could, he reached over to Damien and pushed him to the forest floor. A single dagger whizzed on by and grazed Cyrus' arm in the process. The dagger landed a little behind them and had a piece of paper with a single water symbol written on it.
((Gotta go now. Ma needs to get on and Naruto comes on in 30.))

As soon as the dagger had passed her also,she had snapped out of it,looking to the note then looking over to Damien.
"Damien, quick, have half of your army face the side they are heading,the other on this side...I think they may be coming from both sides but they want us to be more into the clearing before they attack..." She looked down to the stream she still hadn't crossed, a shiver running down her spine,causing her to hold onto her sword even tighter," Send messengers to the other armies and let them know..."
Damien looked to Ari,wondering how she could know such a thing, he looked over to Cyrus for a moment to see if he agreed with her, himself having not seen the direction the dagger had come from.

"Hurry Damien." Cyrus comanded. "Get up and warn the others. If you dally, they can get the upper hand." Cyrus was getting a weird feeling about the dagger. The symbol on it wasn't the same as the one on Ari, but it also didn't look like a normal character of the water tribe.
((You ever hear of paper bombs? A ninja tool that's simply a piece of paper with a single character on it. It's designed to blow up a little while after sticking to something. I was thinking the same for this thing, only it being a water attack instead of a fiery explosion.))

Damien nodded and went to the rest of his army and yelled out orders,instantly two messengers were riding out to the other armies to let them know.
Ari looked to the dagger,she seemed to be frozen in place,still unable to cross the river. Though she flinched as she felt a sharp pain in her neck right where her mark was.
"GAH!" She knelt down, the sharp pain had caused a chain reaction and a head splitting headache had begun tormenting her.
((lol ok))

Cyrus has learned to force his armor to absorb his mental and physical pain, and he did just that. He transfered the pain that Ari was making him feel to his armor. Then, something that he didn't expect at all happened. The paper on the dagger slit itself open and a torrent of water flooded out of it. The high speed water quickly turned itself into a raging whirlpool focused in the clearing. The weakest of the warriors were immediatly dragged to the eye of the whirlpool.

Ari was able to pull out her sword and stick it into the ground an kept her grip tight as the whirl pool started.

Cyrus wasn't so lucky. The whirlpool caught him and dragged him slowly to the center. He knew that at least one of the water tribesmen had to be near to control the water. So, he lit both of his arms and charged one of his stronger attacks as he was being dragged towards the center of the clearing.

Ari looked up to see what was happening, pulling out a dagger, she took a second to aim and calculate what would happen with the water. The next second she threw it with all her strength, sending it whizzing through the water, right past Cyrus and hitting the paper bomb almost dead center.

Water stopped pouring out of the symbol, but the water already out was still cycling about the clearing. Enhanced by his new power gifted by his legendary armor, he shot blasts into the trees, creating an intense heat caused by a massive explosion. His aim was poor, however, since he completely missed the hidden one who controlled the water.

Ari cursed, calmly staying in place as she observed their surroundings, waiting for that perfect moment where the water user slipped up and gave up his hiding spot without knowing it.

Cyrus knew he had little choice in his attacks. If he used too much power, it could overload and possibly kill the others inside the vortex. His armor let off a soft red glow as the air around him heated up. With enough heat, the water will evaporate, but too much will harm his comrades greatly.

Ari cursed as she still couldn't pinpoint where the water user was," Where the hell is he..."
In a sudden moment a pair of strong arms wrapped around Ari, a sword to her neck,as he gave a sly smirk.
"Stop your armies and surrender or she shall die...or close to it..."
He kissed the mark on her neck," I can always give her another one of these,even you can't handle that mark...."
Ari's eyes went wide open," Cyrus..."

"I'm sorry, but I cannot do that. You see, I have never been able to back down from a fight. I've followed a certain code my entire life. 1) protect my lord and king. 2) treat ladies and others, with the exception of meathead here, with respect. 3) never run away. This is known as the knight's code, or Chivalry. I cannot surrender. I don't even know what that word means. Even if I die, I will protect my lord and all those under his jurisdiction! So prepare to die you water scum!" He shot a stream of fire at the water tribesman, but apparently missed entirely. Instead, the fire went behind and to the right of the water assassin. He made an expression on his face as if he really needs to work on his aim.

The water user laughed," I guess you need to work on your aim."
Ari's eyes turned blood red for a moment as the man kissed her neck again," You're gonna pay for what you have done."
In a quick moment she had pulled out a knife,jabbed it into the user's stomach with her blue fire then flipped him over.She let out a cry as she took her sword and jabbed it right into the water user's heart, the water user had been to shocked from what had happened to respond.
Ari kept her hand on the hilt as she breathed heavily,staring down at the water user as he died.

Good job Ari. Cyrus thought. Not exactly how I planned it, but not bad in the least. Cyrus was wanting to use his opponent's prideful moment as a tool. That fire stream was actually supposed to allow him to travel behind the water assassin and take him out from behind. But, it seems Ari had a different idea. Cyrus looked around to see if he could find anymore water assassins.
