‘-here I come, ravish for I shall bath in thy blood,’

Lightning strikes, electricity charges through the growing mist. Intherna, restricted by the sudden rush, waits, the expression borders between anger and fear. The wounded warrior, stricken with an immobilizing wound claws to a stand – the poor archer tasked into standing guard had the outfit pulled. 

 "Why would he rush in?" 

 "We don't have time to ask whys," she replied, "-there are more coming."

Surely enough, the mist encompassed their position, no sky on an upward glance – vision, only a few meters to the front, had the path vanish. 

 "Stick together," said an archer.

 "Let's make for the tree," said another, "-tis a better vantage point."

 "Understood," the figures leaped into the foliage, growls, and snares scattered below.

 'Igna, what in the hell are you thinking?' she gritted. Beside sat the first warrior against the tree trunk, the injured leg dangled, the pain tightened the tense facial features.
