.... I wait, anticipation and battle lust racing through my veins. When Aulus approaches Her I can barely restrain myself from cutting him down.

"Over?" my mind wonders. "No need to fight longer?" I look around and it is true, there are none left. My first concern is Wind Dancer. On checking him I find a score on his left and right shoulder. I reassure him that he is well and look for water to tend him.

"My lady, I must care for Wind Dancer. Are you well?" As I gaze at her my mind turns to another direction all together and I firmly rein in. She nods, too tired to talk.

As I bow to her, a strange battle roar comes to my ears, I jump erect and spin to face this threat. Oddly, the world goes dark as though a cloak has been thrown over the sun. I ready myself, I know I must fight, what ever this is. I feel myself sinking into the ground, being pulled under the earth. I know not what is happening to me.
