Thanos kicked a man that tried to come up behind him while someone in front of him distracted him. He stabbed the guy and went on to the next man that had one of the amazons in a choke hold. He hit him on the back of the head with the butt of his sword, dropping him like a sack of grain.Chesa charged at one of the raiders that had one of the children, trying to make off with him. Seeing her, the guy dropped the boy and ran like a coward. Chesa led him away from the battle and into the woods where they were all told to run and hide if the village was ever attacked. It was full of hiding spots. Arianna managed to get the little girl who clung to her and ran into the woods. She stood there for a moment watching what was going on as if it started o become slow motion and deja vu set in. She realized it was just like in her dream. She could hear the horses and not only that the hoofbeats of the centaurs. She watched as her mother and many others who were still standing and around fight. AS the fire spread t he girl in her arms gave a whimper and she held her tighter " its ok sweet girl it will all be ok" she whispered as she took her somewhere to hide. She needed to go back but the girl did not wanna let go

Thanos watched as one of his fellow centaurs took an arrow in the shoulder then in the chest. As he went down Thanos gave an enraged cry and galloped towards the archer before he knew what happened. Thanos literally ran over the man which didn't kill him but would definitely leave him crippled for the rest of his life.
Chesa blocked a low cut to her forelegs and punched the man in the face then kneed him in between the legs. He went down in pain and shock, making Chesa smirk.
Two amazons were being carried to some horses and Chesa watched helplessly as two men galloped away while she was held back by three more attackers. This wasn't just a raid it was a kidnapping.

Arianna managed to get the girl off her and hiding quietly and ran back to the villiage picking up a sword. She ran at 2 of the raiders screaming as she did her sword clashing with one of theirs. He kicked her in her wound and she yelped but held her ground. She refused to let them get away she would be damned if she stood there and did nothing.
Gavin tried to help chesa out he threw a dagger at one of the raiders who was blocking her escape

The man went down gurgling as blood came from his mouth. She reared up and came down on the last two whose eyes went wide with shock as they were crushed beneath her hooves.
"Thanks," she said to Gavin. She was now free to use her bow and took aim at one of the men trying to escape with the two unconscious amazons. She let it go and hit her mark. The man fell and the horse stopped as it had no orders of where to go. She jogged over and almost made it before she was tripped by someone or something and went crashing hard into the earth.

Gavin took off with the remainder of the children that were still around leaving Arianna there with whoever was still was fighting
Arianna turned just intime to see Chesa fall and went to help her when she was knocked in the back causing her to fall and drop her sword. She tried to reach for it when someone stepped on her arm pinning her.

Chesa felt like someone ran her over with a chariot twice over. She went to get up when her forelegs were chained and a sword stuck in her face with the pointed end at her.
"Dont move," growled an ugly man that needed a bath and to brush his teeth.
Chesa glared at him as her quiver of arrows and two throwing knives were stripped of her.
Thanos whipped around just in time to block an over head swing but also see his sister at sword point.
"No!" He yelled and sliced his attacker across the belly. He was on the other side of the village and couldn't reach her in time before she was herded off with others that were taken.

Arianna heard thanos and watched as her best friend was dragged off and she started to struggle. " you wont get away with this" she growled.
The man laughed " im pretty sure we are" he with help of a few men pulled her up to stand and got a elbow for his trouble. He growled and went to hit her and stopped just looking at her a moment " bound her and take her away" he ordered.
Arianna struggled as she was chained " you are so dead!" she threatened

Thanos was so concerned about getting to Arianna and Chesa that he didn't see the tree branch that someone grabbed and hit him on the back of the head. The next thing he knew he was kissing the dirt and then nothing.
Chesa was led behind a horse, seperated from her fellow amazons, and one other centaur, a few years younger than her who was also tied behind another horse alone. She was yanked and pulled forward to move faster but it was hard when her front legs were bound. It was beginning to really piss her off.

Arianna followed unwillingly behind a few men who yanked every few minutes making sure she was still walking. She looked at everyone counting how many men there were and how many were captured. She noticed in the corner of her eye that thanos went down and they tried to put restraints on him. The man who she had elbowed kept watching her as if she would be growing another head or something. She felt abit uncomfortable and glared at him till he turned around and walked on.

Thanos had no idea how long he was out but when he woke up he found his father standing over him while his mother tapped his face to make him come to. He had a splitting headache and didn't move very quickly because the world was spinning and it made him feel a little on the sick side.
"Easy," Lyssa said softly.
"Wh- where-" he stammered. "Where's Ari and Chesa?" He rubbed the back of his head to feel a large lump but no blood. After making sure his head wasn't split open he looked to see his mother had been crying by the red puffiness of her eyes.
"Those bastards took both of them along with a few others not to mention half our supplies!" His father spat with vehemence.
"We have to go after them!" Thanos shouted and struggled to get up without falling over again.
"Don't worry we will," his father swore.
"Where are they taking us?" Someone whispered. Not to Chesa herself but she over heard it anyways.
"I don't know," was the answer.
"We have to get away or they'll kill us."
"If they wanted to kill us they would've already," someone hissed.
Chesa wouldn't look to see who it was.

Arianna could hear some of the talking and was working on her bound hands. She pretended to trip and grabbed a rock and tossed it at one of the men on a horse who looked back " who threw that?" he demanded.

One of the men, the leader because of his nicely, well fairly nice, decorated body armor, stopped everyone. He got off his horse and shouted. "Who threw that?" When no one answered he got more angry. "Beat them all just don't kill 'em!"

The leader laughed at Arianna's pleadings and threats. "Punish them all." He didn't care who it was, he wanted their wills to be broken one way or another.
Chesa took it in the face and her gut. They even took out a whip and beat the back of her lower torso. It wasn't the kind that would cut but it sure as hell stung like the fires of Tarturus.

Arianna fought the restraints as they all were beat down. She took one in the stomach and her head and went down dazed. She was roughly made to stand once again feeling awful for it it was her fault. A few of them cursed her out while a few others stayed silent and took it. She was worried about chesa.
