Marci nodded as soon as she'd finished recording the information and pocketed the notebook and joined them only for Marcus to place a paw on her shaking wrist that was holding a short simple dagger. This caused her to calm a bit but was also confused as to why he was forcing her paws down. Didn't he want her to help them?
"Sophie I need you to protect Marci at all cost and get her to the safety of the temple guard." ordered Marcus as he stepped forward and with a burst of Ariforce he opened the door sending whoever was on the other side of the door.
"Yes, stick with me." called Sophie as she took one of Marci's paws in his own before pulling her down the hall slashing through a few cloaked figures along the way.
"Wait we can help him." pleaded Marci as she was dragged away.
"We'd only get in the way." replied Sophie deflecting a few arrow shots and even a couple sword slashes.
