Hiding in the shadows of the street Roxanne caressed her kitchen knife that she held. The blade kissed her finger and blood trickled down. She looked at the blood and smiled before licking it. The taste of blood, it was good. There was not really much hunting yet for her that night, but soon, she would find something. Perhaps some runes would be good for her, but she didn't feel like it tonight. Tonight was going to just be some fun. Putting away her knife Roxanne, walked towards a local convenience store. It was late, but it was still open. Walking through the door, she headed straight towards the cooler with ice cream in it. She grabbed her favourite ice cream bar, threw some money on the counter and go to walk out, despite the workers protest. "Sorry sweetie, but that should cover it. Keep the change." She said before laughing a crazed laugh and walking out, eating her ice cream. She walked down the dark streets, looking for a demon, or something, anything to kill. Tonight sounded like it would be a fun night. Slavko stretched out his stiff limbs as he walked through the dark allies of New York. It had been a while since he walked this earth after last time someone killed him. Sometimes he loved being a demon. He came back time and time again in order to cause hell. He loved making things go terribly wrong for people, it was the best thing in the world... well besides flirting with unsuspecting woman while in some humans body. Actually that sounded like a lot of fun. Perhaps it was time to go find some unsuspecting ******* to go possess and then he could have some fun. In his pure demon for it was hard to get too close to people, he touched them and could destroy them. However it didn't matter, that was fun as well. The young demon began to make his way through the ally. Soon he would find someone, then, let the games begin.
Runa heard a sound outside her cage. She looked up slowly from the ground she was staring. There was suddenly a small light that she could see. The light illuminated a girl who was holding a flame. The girl didn't look like a threat to her. On top of that the girl spoke to her, quietly, asking if she was the same. "I-I don't know. I am not quite sure what is going on. It all happened so fast. Where am I?" The girl asked, scared, disoriented. She tried to move towards the door of the prison to get a better look at the girl on the other side of the door, but her chains prevented her. "Can you help me?" She asked in a shaky voice. She had never considered herself weak before, but this was just getting too much for her.
Adelina took another drink herself. The wine was hitting her slightly harder than it hit Zack, after all fairies were not meant to be drinking much alcohol. They were considered small, fragile creatures and this seemed to cross over to alcohol as well. Though the fairy didn't mind, the distraction was nice. Adelina sat down next to Zack and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Did you snatch it one day from the kitchen when in there trying to woe me with your fabulous hair and oh so mighty charm?" She said with a giggle. She cuddled in close to Zack, wanting all the love and comfort she could get in this time. Her mind might have started to get a little fuzzy from the wine, but she still knew what she was doing for now. "On a scale of one to skittles, how much do you love me?" She then asked jokingly. Flame looked at Kala. "Rise.... please. I am not ready for that. Lets just.... lets just get this war finished with so we can go home... Then well I will have a lot of things to deal with." Flame did her best to keep the sadness from her voice as she helped Kala up. Once she was on her feet Flame turned from her and the rest of her group, firing off her 3DMG. She began to swing through the streets of the city, towards and to the top of the wall. She waited at the top for everyone to gather before addressing them once more. "Griffin, Akari, and Hunter. You three are in charge of finding a way to fix the hole in the wall and keep the Titan's out. The rest of you are with me. We will kill the titans that have gotten in. Stick close to each other and work as a team. It is our best chance at survival and I would rather us all walk out alive then lose another person. Ready. Lets go."
Seth departed from Zack, heading the direction in which he was instructed to go. Seth picked up a run, searching from street to street trying to find any sign of Bryce or Tessa. As he ran he heard a familiar voice commenting about being cold. Seth wasted no time running towards the voice, to find himself standing in front of a soaked Tessa, and a man in front of a fire. "Michael! Are you okay. Damn it I was an idiot, Bryce will have my head for this." Seth commented, clearly slightly stress. "Thank you sir for helping her." Seth said facing the man.... That was when he noticed the eyes. They were the eyes of a witcher. Damn it, it was a trap wasn't it? Seth gritted his teeth as he slowly stepped between Tessa and Vecslav. There was no point in getting too defensive yet until he knew the entire story, but he wanted to be safe and just make sure that he was between Tessa and the witcher so he could at least give Tessa time to run if required. "I am sorry if my friend caused you any trouble sir, but I really should get her home now." Seth told Vec in a kind voice. Annabelle looked around her at the grandness. "This is amazing!" Annabelle exclaimed before realizing she spoke when she shouldn't. The girl immediately started to cower slightly and back off. "I am sorry I didn't mean to speak. Please don't hurt me." She spat out as she gripped her bunny tightly. On top of speaking when she believed that she shouldn't one of the woman seemed displeased that she was there. However before she could apologize Bramwell spoke to her and seemed to calm the situation. In the end it seemed she was not going to get punished for speaking out of turn. On top of this he even offered to show her to her room. She was just invited here and there was a room for her? That was amazing. Annabelle felt very excited, an emotion she hadn't felt in a very long time. A wide smile crossed the child's face as she anxiously followed the mage that had rescued her. Aaron paced as he sipped on his tea. He wouldn't call what they had been having luck, but that was just his opinion. Veera seemed to think everything was going splendid. Aaron might have respected Veera, but he was full aware when she was trying to pull some bullsh*t on him about Vec not going to be able to find them. This was not good. However he had enough mind to keep his mouth shut and not follow when Veera stepped outside. Instead he remained in the house, pacing and sipping his tea, nervousness written all over his face.
"I don't think it matters how officially you were invited. You are here and they allowed you to be here, so why question it." He told Tessa, clasping his hands behind his head. "As for me..." Laurentinus hesitated for a moment before attempting to explain why he was there, without telling anyone anything. "Well I am here because I wanted to be stronger in order to help more people.... And perhaps find someone along the way." He was referring to his father who disappeared while looking for his mothers murderer, but he didn't want to tell anyone that. Chances were he was dead anyways. Ren's attention was then turned towards Kara as she spoke about them all. He kind of chuckled at some of the comparisons, however when it got to him, he shifted uncomfortably. He didn't know what he thought of being called an animal who preyed on the animals she had called the other two girls. Though in that aspect Conrad didn't have it much better. Well at least they were in the same boat. For once Laurentinus did something seeming almost friendly towards Conrad. He looked in the mans direction and rolled his eyes with a slight smirk on his face, like he was silently saying "woman." He was sure Conrad was in the same boat as he was. At least there was one good thing about the man... and that was well having another man around when surrounded by so many woman. For most guys it would be a dream, until you had to actually talk to them. Then they prey on you like a cat on a mouse.
Thea was trying to follow Conrad, but at first it seemed like he didn't even notice. That was until they started had got to a hole that it seemed everyone was down. Of course they had to descend down another damn rope. Thea took a step back, it sounded like a very bad idea to do that, especially after what happened last time. Yet Conrad insisted they go, and his words were so calm and gentle. Thea clung to Conrad as tight as she possibly could as he grabbed the rope and prepared to bring them down. As they descended Thea did her best to hold on and not look down. Though the not looking down thing was not going well for her. It wasn't long after she looked down that they came to a stop, this too worried Thea. However instead of falling soon after she heard calm, kind words of Conrad. She couldn't get herself to speak, but she nodded at the man as her tight grip loosened slightly so it wasn't as painful. She might not have liked it, but let Conrad take her the rest of the way to the bottom, despite how scary the decent was. Once on the ground, Thea looked around at everything around her. She gasped when she saw Florica and the state she was in. After that her eyes drifted to Vance, standing a little too close to Shani in her opinion, forgetting she was there, again. Thea took a step behind Conrad and glared at Vance. Currently she wanted very little to do with the man, but she was also convinced that he wanted little to do with her. That being said, she didn't want to be alone, so she stuck with Conrad. Trevor crossed his arms and paced as a man started to make some sort of announcement about some sort of hair growth thing. He would have walked away, not caring less about what was being said if it wasn't for the person they were supposed to talked to watching. Trevor sighed and let things play their course. He was skeptical about shaving two of his members heads, but in the end it was up to them. He would wait till after to figure things out with The Beadle. For now he sat back and watched.
Annabelle was not thrilled with the idea of going to a school to learn about how to use magic. She had spent a lot of time "learning magic." And that was what lead her to this life that she hated. So instead of following the man, or really listening to him, or answering, Annabelle followed the well dressed man. He had opened a portal for them, leading to the palace. Annabelle made sure she was beside Bramwell when she entered. She was nervous of what would lie on the other side of the portal, but she hoped for a better life. "I don't see her. She must have gone outside, onto the streets. Damn, it is going to be near impossible to find her now." Seth muttered. But he wasn't going to give up. He would keep looking for Tessa because it wasn't safe for her to be here. Bryce wasn't safe either. "I am sorry, this is my fault. Lets keep moving though." Seth said as be got out to the street and began to run desperately to find them. He didn't care if Zack was being left behind. Zack could look after himself as long as he didn't run into Veera. He had to find Tessa before it was too late. "You didn't drag me away from her, I left willingly." Aaron told Veera as he turned around and headed towards the table in which Raymond had tea waiting for them. "You sent out a call to witchers... Vec will surely have got it you know. What are we going to do when he shows up?" Aaron asked quietly. He was worried about the situation he had got himself into. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't bring Vec's attention towards them as well as the entire doppler situation. Things might not go well now given their situation. Aaron just hoped to live to see the end of it.
So it seemed like they were going with this man. That would be quite an experience, one that Anthea was not the most thrilled about. Though the girl supposed she had not choice but to follow everyone on this mission. She made a mental note to stay away from Balomar and Kellan though. They just seemed like the kind of people that were not good to get close to. Either way she would keep away. The problem with not getting too close with them, meant there was few people she could. That being said she didn't know if she wanted to. Perhaps it was best for her to just stick back and only do what she needed to when it was needed. After all she was a little nervous about what everyone would think of her... abilities. Her master seemed to really like them and build on them, but would everyone? She did not know but she would use it when needed. Despite what he wished in the back of his mind, Conrad listened to what he had said to the two girls. Not only did he listen in to it, but he felt the need to comment on it too. "Of course you didn't know. I didn't want you to know. What does it matter to you what happened in my past." Laurentinus said. A defense mechanism, a way to keep people away from him. He wouldn't let people in, in fear of losing them like he lost everyone. If he told them what happened in his past then they would believe they could get close to him, and that was not okay. Soon after that comment Kara ordered her and Tessa to switch seats and try treating others how they thought they should be treated. On top of that another person spoke up about treating others how you would like to be treated. "I plan too." Laurentinus mumbled his response to the girl before finally paying attention Tessa, as the girl introduced herself to him. He took her hand and shook it. "My name is Laurentinus, Ren for short if it is easier for you." He offered before retracting his hand and sitting quietly. Luckily there was no time for awkward conversation since Conrad decided to speak up, being as calm as ever. Damn he hated that. "Fine." He responded trying not to sound as annoyed as he was.
http://i66.tinypic.com/2lbnehv.gif
This guy was impossible to reason with and the calm he had, it was almost scary. He didn't trust people that calm about things, they always had plans... Well there was always the fact that he didn't trust many people, but he wouldn't admit to that. He had a very good reason for not being trusting people, they didn't know it, but why should they know it if he didn't trust them. Either way this conversation with Conrad seemed to be getting him nowhere and it was probably about time for him to drop it. Dropping that conversation however didn't mean dropping everything. There was still the issue of Tessa and Kara. Kara who was trying to make the accusation of him being jealous, and Tessa questioning his motives. "As I stated, I am not jealous, I am simply looking out for her. As I said before it seems like he is trying to move in a bit too quickly." Laurentinus explained, making a motion towards Conrad to clarify who he was referring to. With a sigh he decided to hint to what was going through his mind for the sake of the females, not Conrad. "Look I have a damn good reason to not trust people, especially ones like him who seem rather friendly. I am just trying to look out for you, even if it doesn't seem like it. I am sorry. Just don't mind me. You guys go back to being friendly with each other, I guess I am just making a big deal over nothing." Ren stated as he turned back to the window. He heard Shyra ask about questions to do with where they were going, but at this point, Laurentinus could care less about that. He just had to get out of the damn carriage.
As Zack stroked her head, Adelina continued to sing. "Sing for reluctant heroes, give me your strength, your lives are too short. Sing for reluctant heroes, I want to be brave like you..." She sang, tears in her eyes. It was near the end of the song that Zack stopped hugging her, but he held onto her hand even still. It seemed he was as unwilling to let go of her, as she was unwilling to let go of him. She gladly followed him to a tree, wiping tears from her eyes as she watched Zack reach into the tree. When he pulled out a bottle of wine, Adelina couldn't help but crack a small smile. Was he planning this or something? Who kept wine in a tree just for fun. "Yeah, I will take some." She said as she took the bottle and took a swig herself. She let out a slight giggle. "Where did you get that? Or how. You shouldn't have been able to get your hands on it." Adelina said, no sign of anger in her voice, only amusement. She had to find the entertainment in this time after all. Besides it was hard not to smile at least slightly when around Zack. Flame was pacing when she heard Gale ask someone if they were alright. She turned to look in the direction when she felt Kala's hand on her arm. There was a warning in her voice as she told to prepare herself. Not knowing what for Flame turned and looked directly at the scouts that were sent out. They had returned... and then.... The entire world stopped as Flame was at a loss for breath. Nothing seemed to be moving around her as she walked forward towards her father. The blood dripping from his body pooling on the ground below. "Put him down... now. Place him down." Her voice shallow as she spoke. Tears filled her eyes. Flame let her knees go weak as she crumpled to the ground staring at the body. They killed him... First her mother now her father. There was no one left, not anymore. And even worse Drake had left too. She had just agreed to help these people, the humans, but they just took everything from her. Despite this Flame knew she had to get her people out. She knew that they wouldn't be allowed to leave alive unless they completed their task. "Move him inside with Veera and Karen. We will bring the body home when we return. For now..... For now we have to fight as to not share the same fate." Flame's voice was shaky and sad but still leaderly. She stood to her feet and looked around. She was shaky but she knew she had to make her father proud. She was now the queen and she had to act like it. There would be time for morning later. "We won't let this stop this, as your queen I order us to stand and fight. When this is all over then we will sort it out. But if we spend too much time worrying about this now, we will all share his fate. Lets go." Flame ordered.
As Samuel stepped back and started thinking about how to go about things, the thing they were fighting seemed to ignore him. That was good, though he could think and plan on the move, he would rather not have to. With his planning done, Samuel took his next step in the battle, actually fighting. He needed to keep on his feet, keep moving and that way there was the least chance of taking damage. That being said Samuel decided to use his skills in martial arts over anything else. It should be an effective start, and maybe later he could settle back to using his throwing stars or something. Samuel used martial arts Alexis did nothing because she is stunned.
Laurenitus rolled his eyes at Conrad's reply. "There are ways to awake her politely to move." He replied. There was no excuse for holding a random lady like that. It was inappropriate in his opinion. However his opinion seemed to mean very little here, no one seemed to care what he had to say on the matter. But what could he do, there was only so much he could do to attempt to protect the girl from a bad fate. Of course in the midst of this conversation someone else had to stick their nose in and wake Tessa up. Now things were even more awkward than they already were. The girl who Conrad had been holding seemed to be uncomfortable and awkward about it, a small victory for Laurentinus. However her words sent him into a blush. "Uh, um no. We weren't... I wasn't nothing like that. I was merely telling Conrad here that it seemed a little inappropriate having his arm around you, being so close so soon. I wasn't implying... I didn't mean it to seem like I wanted... er... that." Laurentinus stammered. He was usually pretty collected, but he had not expected anyone to say anything like that to him. He quickly turned his face away to look out the window, attempting to regain his demeanor. He noticed Conrads apologetic smile but didn't bother returning one of his own. He was feeling far to awkward for any form of niceties.
Conrad, so that was the name of this man that he had seen in passing. Laurentinus mumbled his name in reply, not really caring to make much conversation at the time. His head was spinning with nasty thoughts and memories and he was rather annoyed at this Conrad guy, though the reason wasn't totally 100% clear to him. That was when Conrad seemed to meet his gaze. Sh*t, that was never good, that always meant talking... and sure enough he spoke. "No, no problem." He said turning away. He remained looking a way for a moment before taking a deep breath and looking at Conrad again. "Just don't you think you seem to be taking things a little quick with her, getting too close too soon?" He asked in a rather accusing tone. The whole situation seemed fishy to him. This man getting so close to Tessa, yet not bothering to be friends with anyone else. As much as he didn't want to think about it, it reminded him of what happened to his sister. That being said this strange man had no right to know that. All he needed to know was that he didn't agree with it. Perhaps he was wrong about Conrad and he wasn't a bad guy, but Laurentinus couldn't afford to let those thoughts in his mind. As soon as he dropped his guard was when someone else died. Though he was out of people he cared for that could be killed so the blow would be slightly less. He had no plans on making friends here just to watch another person he cared for die.

However protecting it was not all it worked up to be. On occasion she was forced to kill someone that she didn't want to, including a couple not human males that she had taking a liking to. Over the years guilt built up in her heart until the day she snapped. Instead of killing those she needed to and just because she had to. She began killing those she had to just for the enjoyment of it. She started to learn more ways to kill things that would make it hurt more. Each new thing she learned, the more fun she had.

The conversation went forth about what they were going to do. It seemed like one of the people in their group knew the man that had walked in too. There seemed to be a lot happening at once but Anthea did her best to keep track of it all. It got hard when the man started rambling about how not pretty they were then how pretty they were then taking it back. Over all in the end he just made her very, very uncomfortable. Anthea stepped back away from the group for a moment, almost trying to hide herself. She was doing her best to try to fit in here and be like the rest, as she was sent to aid them. The rest had come to help too, so as Sanderson pointed out she wasn't any less than the others here, and yet she still felt like it. Anthea picked back up on what was going on when Aston began talking. So it seemed that they agreed to go with this crazy man. Well that was no comfort to her. Either way what choice did she really have? Anthea simply gave a nod of agreement as she waited for them to start heading out. She didn't understand what was so important to steal from the tomb, but she felt she had no right to question it in the end. "My confidence has nothing to do with this. The job I left to be here however does. You act like you pulled random beggars off the street, not a city guard." Laurentinus stated to the woman. However it wasn't worth it, he wasn't going to argue about it anymore, and it seemed she wasn't willing to either, as it was almost time for them to head out. He watched as Shyra took the front seat before he climbed into the back of the carriage. Laurentinus sat across from Conrad and Tessa. He was slightly annoyed that not only did they defend his point, but it seemed to completely ignore him altogether. Laurentinus turned his face to the window and watched the city go by. When he turned back to them he noticed the girl was sleeping on the mans shoulder and the man holding her. Ren glared at him. From what he noticed he just met the girl and he was getting this friendly with her. However no one cared to talk to him except that one drunk. He had also never had a close female friend. That mixed with the fact that they didn't back him up earlier just angered Ren. He couldn't help but glare at Conrad as his mind circled with thoughts of the man who was oh so friendly with his sister before he murdered her. A distrust settled in the back of his mind, he would have to keep an eye on Conrad, make sure he didn't try to hurt Tessa in the end.
The woman had deflected her attack but was now down a weapon, that would still work in Rose's favour. As much as she would have loved to finish it off then and there, a little longer battle was not ever a bad thing. Carissa tried to run from it, however Rose was not about to let her. With Blood Rage set in, all that Rose could think about was killing Carissa.That being said it ended up working to a disadvantage here. Because she had been in the state for so long and got so focused on killing, she failed to observe everything around her. She had failed to notice David. Rose was about to charge at Carissa as she felt her feet being pulled out from under her by an unknown force. Before Rose could do anything about it she was falling. Rose hit the ground but she was well on her way to recovering and being back on her feet when an arrow pierced her shoulder and her entire body froze up. A paralysis arrow, of course. Even still Rose tried to fight back, despite the fact that her body wouldn't react at all, her mind demanded it. The more she tried the more angry she got. Blood rage was not wearing off any time soon it seemed and the fact that she couldn't fight didn't help anything. Rose didn't have any choice but to give in as Carissa picked her up off the ground. Her body wouldn't obey. Her duel blades slipped from her hands as her body was lifted from the ground. Rose could still see everything that was going on around her, hear every word that was being said. She might be able to use that to an advantage later. As soon as she could move she would find a way to escape, kill Carissa, and return to Jayce. But that had to wait till she could move, for now she was helpless and she hated it. Aster continued his assault on horse back. He enjoyed it a lot. It was definitely an efficient way of cleaning up. Aster took another sweep of the battle field on the now, much more calm, yet still wild horse. He took the horses wild, unpredictable behavior as an advantage. As long as he could hang on and aim his lance then it would be the hammer heads at a loss. Soon enough four more went down. "That is another four for Aster and I haven't even seen Car in a while. There is no chance I am going to lose now." Aster said with a slight smirk as he rode in another circle, letting the wind blow his magnificent hair back. Bet kill count Carissa: 37 Aster: 29 Rng just hates me.
Seth kept his fist clenched tight, so his knuckles were white. They didn't understand, this was all his fault. However he didn't expect them to, he wasn't about to tell them just how he pissed off a witcher and why she was probably here to kill all of them. Guilt rippled through Seth as he followed Zack in silence. The silence just made things worse, but he wasn't about to say anything. Reaching the door he noticed it was open. It seemed that Tessa had come this way after all, however given she wasn't there now, it left a sinking feeling in his stomach. "Hurry." He said to Zack as he pushed past him and grabbed a sword of his own. He was just as worried as Zack was about this and felt the need to move as quick as possible, even if it could end up being reckless. He didn't wait for Zack as he picked up a jog, heading into the passage, he hoped they were too far behind... or too late. "We appreciate the hospitality." Aaron thanked again as he walked into the home. It seemed so familiar to him. Aaron had almost forgotten what it was like to be home, his own home, the one that he left to become a witcher. Sure Kaer Morhiem was his home too now, but nothing was like the one that him and Tatiana lived in. Sure it was old and falling apart but it was where his family was. He couldn't help but reflect on Tatiana for a moment standing in the house. "It reminds me a bit of my own home." Aaron stated his thoughts before wandering to the window to see who might be watching or passing by. He could never be too careful when it came to the idea of Vec being after them. Aaron had noticed that Veera had somewhat separated herself from them and gone quiet. "Are you okay?" He asked not bothering to approach her or force her to talk. He just wanted her to know that he was there for her. Witchers stuck together after all cause many had no one else. He was fortunate to have his sister. However thinking that he began to kick himself. He had finally seen his sister again and he left her. She was safe at Kaer, he knew that but he still left her. He had everyone at Kaer to help him, she had no one. She hadn't since she let him go. How could he have done that to her? Still he had to focus on Veera right now. She may not have been his actual sister, but a sister to him none the less. Tatiana let Derrick guild her, she didn't say much as he did. In the end she was feeling the tiredness set in and there wasn't much she could do about it. The only option was to do her best to stay awake until they got riding. As Derrick tied her down to the saddle and her arms around him she began to get a bit uncomfortable. She understood why he was doing it but her mind was flashing back to what had happened before, the doppler when he tied her down. With everything set Tatiana rested her head against the make shift pillow. She could not sleep with her mind running through the horrors that she had experienced. "Please... use..." Tatiana realized the name of the sign had slipped her mind again. This only made things more upsetting because it was never that bad before. "Use... that thing... help me sleep. Please." She pleated. She needed something to calm her mind and the witcher signs seemed to be the best option.
Karina turned to Mortimer when he showed up. Her knuckles turned white around her keyblade as she wanted to cut his head clean off right there and then. After what happened last time she ran into that damn mouse, he wasn't going to get away so easy, or at least she thought. Karina however didn't get the chance to fight the mouse, instead she had a bigger task and she knew that. She was one of five that had to take out the bigger threat, she didn't have time to worry about that arrogant self centered mouse that sat on his high and mighty throne. Karina turned to take the lead in leaving. It seemed that so far that was what she was good at, getting people moving. That being said it was difficult for her to leave this battle, she waned to help kick that mouses butt. Instead she couldn't so before she left she walked past Stratos, stopping to speak to him quietly. "You better tear that mouses head off for me. I will handle the blot, you get him. Is it a deal?" She asked Stratos before stepping away. For some reason Statos seemed like one of the few she could trust, and after the thousand heartless battle, she knew that he could do what she asked. With that Karina took her leave, no wishing anyone else luck or anything like that.
"A palace?" Annabelle questioned as she slowly moved out of hiding to look at the mage better. He seemed nice, he was being friendly towards her, how could she refuse? Besides she had no where else to go, no where was safe. However a palace? Perhaps that was just the place to be to keep safely away from Yana, when and if she returned. Annabelle looked around and found her ragged stuffed bunny and held it tight. She wasn't going to go anywhere without her bunny, there was not a chance. She slowly looked up at the man before her. "I am..." She admitted to being tired and injured, but then she looked down. "Are you sure it is okay for me to come? I am not really fit for a palace, not with the way I am." Annabelle admitted. She hadn't known much about palace life, but she knew she wasn't even fit to be seen around a normal person's home. How was she ever supposed to fit into a palace. However if it was alright for her to go, she would go. ooc. Sam you are allowed to move Annabelle after this if you want. No sense making a post of her following later. Terra nodded as Zephyr pointed her in the right direction. She took no time heading into the ally way. Terra had not made it far when the attacks started. First an arrow was shot, but missed, and this was followed by hands reaching out from the ground and undead popping out. "Zephyr, inside now! I will handle this!" Terra instructed as she began to work her magic. A roll of thunder echoed through the ally as it began to storm. Bolts of thunder struck the earth and the undead, though controlled enough not to strike her or Zephyr. The mage woman knew that this was a bad idea, using her powers in the open like this, but she didn't have much choice. As the undead came around her she would create barriers of pure energy around her, forcing the skeletons back before they could get too close. This was followed by blasts of energy. Terra kept her eyes all around but Sara was all but gone. She would track the girl later, perhaps even hire a witcher, but now more than just a single child was in danger. Given the situation the entire orphanage was in danger of being attacked, all the children killed. She needed to stop this now. The storms were doing wonders for helping. Soon she even created a tornado to help with the clean up as well. "Stay away from my children, and out of my life." She screamed in anger assuming this was another thing to do with one of her former employers. Damn people wanted to ruin everything that she had created. They wanted to drag her back to the life she escaped, but she would not let them. She would never return. She had become someone different, someone Eric was proud of. She would not lose that.
