A Quick Way To Kill A Centaur

'Sha! Another battalion is on our tail.' Raven informed the others, cloaked in a dark rag as a slave and walking by Amelia's side. Wearing dark armor from the murdered centaurs, the once princess was pretending to be a guard taking Raven down the streets with a chain around his neck. 

Touching the passerby, the mage had already managed to alter many minds to be his slaves but kept the brainwashing behind a common trigger. He even slipped ethereal dark fairies into their clothes, just in case he needed to get rid of them or simply wanted to cause chaos through the streets. 

His attempts to stay discreet, however, have clearly failed as the people began to subside to make room for the approaching soldiers. Led by a lance wielder, the entire group was headed for Raven's head. And so, letting down the mask of pretense, the mage slipped Amelia back into the gem and took a swift turn into the alley to his left.
