Lins was not sure what happened. More people randomly showed up, He was ordered to cover with his bow, and then a shout, a burst of light then a elf wizard appeared. Things happened as fast as they would of done in a real battle. And yet he was still left stunned. All he heard was the elf shout follow me to the group. But lins needed to get his spear back. Or at least go home to replace it. He Got up off the floor and thanked Kai for the swift healing. I must go home before i move anywhere else. I have to check on things there. Also im sure my spear is still stuck in that wall inside the Candle.

Lins moved towards the door still in embers and ran through, he looked through his visor trying to notice where his spear had landed. He looked up to the first floor landing and it was there stuck fast in the wall. He made a run for the stairs but as he went to step on them they collapsed. Lins was not about to leave his spear in such an inferno, it had been through every battle with him. it was more then his weapon, it was his comrade, his freind. Lins looked around for a way onto the 1st floor without using the stairs, but to no avail. He looked up aboce him to see a beam and had become dislodged and had broke a hole in the landing above him. Lins took a few steps back from the wall and in a dash of madness ran at it, attempting to run up it and gain enough hieght to jump of it and get through the hole. He reached the wall, ran up one, two, three, four steps and then jumped with all his might just managing to get through the hole, but this came with its own effects as he twisted his ankle on landing. Lins moved on none the less and ran to his spear, stuck the too wall ahead of him. He put his hand on the spear and ripped it off the wall, and made a run for it. Now how was he ment to get back down. The only thing he could see was the hole in the wall which his pear made earlier. He started sprinting at that and threw his entire body at it breaking through the weakened wall, littering debry under him, He landing not fair from one of the warriors nearly toppling them over as he landed.

You all carry on without me, there some things i gotta do at home and other things i gotta collect. Move now. Lins ran down the street and turned to the corneron his right. He headed down thi street before taking a left and another right before he slammed his way through a door, to entrance to his home. Lins's home was only small, 3 rooms in total. Bathroom, bedroom, kitchen/living area. He ran into the bedroom, small as it is, fitted a single bed with red sheets, and a small red wood cabinet. Lins ran to the cabinet and picked up a belt with several pouchs attached to it. He ran back into the living room, only thing in there was a small table and a sofa big enough for two people while the attached kichen only have a small storage area and a small cooking fire. Up agianst the walls was another quiver of arrows rested between two spears. Lins picked all of these up and placed them in the area on his back. His back now accompanied 4 spears in the x shape, and 2 quivers on his right shoulder, His long bow was now rested on top of the quivers. I must be catching up with them now. Lins walked out of the door and headed back to the Candle.

Erk descended the stair beneath the trapdoor none-the-less, all the while cursing the spearman and all his ilk. He would have to come on his own. He was not about to risk the safety of this town or this party over a spear!

He didn't bother looking back to check if the others were coming. He could sense the last of them, the tag along, entering the stairwell. The bowman would just have to find his own way back.

Things were looking pretty down for Mikael, despite his best efforts, the bees kept coming like an unstoppable force. He was forced to use quick evasive attacks to keep up with the amount flying at him. Left, right, left, slash, jump. This was what was going through Mikael’s mind.

As Mikael drew his right arm back to slash yet another bee, he was stopped in his action. Mikael didn’t even turn to look at who had stopped him, only keeping his eyes on the attacking bees. The other man went back-to-back with Mikael, he instantly knew this man wasn’t intent on getting him killed, but wanted his help.

“Stop running, you'll just get us killed. Slowly spin with me and we'll cover each other. We have another man on the long range so we have to focus on what comes to us.”

“I’m not the one who would usually take orders, but in a case like this…”

Mikael was cut off as he slashed more bees that were aiming for his face.

“Alright, but you have to repay my kindness, I normally wouldn’t let someone order me around like that”

Mikael and his new ally slowly turned, killing bees that were attacking from any direction near them. Mikael became a little distracted as he found out that his new ally used more than just his weapon to kill bees.

Both of Mikael’s daggers were drenched in the bee’s blood and mucus. His attacks were slowing down, but he stayed at the same pace as the other man. Two bees tried to dive bomb them both, but as they swooped to hit Mikael’s head, they both ducted and swiped the two bees clean out of the air.

“I hope you're holding up. I can go at this for maybe another half hour, but we're going to need some more help at some point.”

“Is that all? I could continue until all these bastards are dead, but there’s no telling how many that is.”

As Mikael went to swing at more bees dive bombing, he heard the other man swear, followed by a quick order.

“My man, open your stance, make it a bit wider.”

Mikael looked back to see a girl at the other man’s feet. This was the first time Mikael had a proper look at his new ally, now knowing the true physique of him, and his mighty sword.

“A wider stance will only lead to more problems, let her defend herself.”

Mikael still followed the order, since he knew the other man wouldn’t think twice about leaving the girl to defend herself.

Mikael could feel the presence of another bee dive bombing at him, but he was too occupied with bees who were coming in from the left. He ducted a little, trying not to leave his stance too open for more attacks. Mikael felt the wind from the other man’s blade whiz past his head, as he heard the bee get completely disembowelled and split.
Mikael heard the girl shouting at the other man and was getting aggravated at the shouting.

"You guys left without me, so I had to run all this way and you greet me by sliding me..on....the.....what the hell is that?!"

“Little girl, shut up! We’re saving your life here!”

As Mikael said that, he slammed his dagger into an oncoming bee that was heading straight for the girl. He spun his dagger in his hand and brought his hand back to meet his other hand, which was heading for two oncoming bees. Both bees meet a painful death, with a dagger skewered in each bee.

“We’ve got to think of a better plan, this isn’t going to get us anywhere”

As Mikael said that, there was a burst of white that light the night sky up. For a couple of seconds, Mikael though he had been stung and killed on the spot, but after he realised the man and the girl were still standing behind him, he knew it was someone using the black arts.

A roaring sea of fire came from a elderly man standing outside one of the inns. Mikael leapt to the ground as the fire became more apparent, but he quickly realised the fire wasn’t going to consume him, just the swarm of bees. He quickly stood up so he didn’t look like a fool.

“Well, that was unexpected.”

Mikael spun his daggers in his hands before sliding them back into their respectful places. One on each side of his hip and finally relaxing after a long battle.

"FOOLS! Hurry! The longer we stay here, the more danger we will be in! We must escape the town immediately, before the main forces arrive! Dally, and you and the citizens of this town will pay the price!" Erk shouted up out through the tunnel.

"coming!" she said running over to the capped man

"why wont you let me see your face... i bet you have pretty eyes and your keeping them all to yourself!" kai smiled standing next to erk ready to go her own blue eyes shinning with excitement

'i hope that everyone isnt so tense all of the time...' she thought and smiled

'well i have been trying to ease the tension a tad bit but i dont think it has been working...of course this battle didnt help much in my fight against the tension but....' she thought and smiled

'there is always hope' she thought and waited for erk to respond

There was nothing but silence from the aged arcanist as his silent steps carried him down the stairs beneath the road. But finally...

"I hide my face, young one, because I must. It is too dangerous to let it be seen." Erk offered more as he climbed. Soon, however, the light began to grow dim. The air became more stale, and foul as they descended, and the torch began to shrink and sputter in the still air.

Talia had gotten out the back and saw the bees swarming over head at the front. The smoke in her lungs made her cough harder and her head feel light. "Uggh," She groaned staggering over to the front of the building dazed. She saw everyone fighting and her eyes widdened as she watched. A bee flew over to her and she gave a small gagging noise at how nasty it looked. She pulled out her sword and sliced it into two and staggered oer to the alley where shouts were coming from a trap door. "Where's this lead?" She wondered aloud but leaned to far in and went tumbling down the stairs landing on her butt on the flat terrain at the bottom. "Ouch!" She grumbled rubbing her soar head.

she looked over at erk

even though the air smelled she didnt let it show on her face even though her throat was itching to cough

as she got deeper it became harder for her to control and the smile began to fade

she looked nerviously at erk and then straight ahead

she didnt dare say anything that would make her sound weaker that she already was

she started to hold her breath not able to help a small 'ahem' but that was a big mistake

as soon as she took a large gulp of that air she started choaking on it and she nearly fell over

"sorry..i.." she coughed and then covered her mouth "im..sorry" she repeated

'i feel so weak and he looks so normal! i must be the weakest girl on the planet not to be able to breath in some nasty air!' she thought and felt warm

"im fine...lets keep going" she said cough less and less

she she finally caught her breath she looked over at him

"im sorry that im weak...im really trying to prove myself... its proving harder than i thought... i dont think anyone thinks i will make it... but i know i can... i have to" she said and looked back at erk with his hood up

"the way you wear your cape is in a way like how i wear my smile... its to dangerous for me not to..." she smiled slightly then looked at the ground as she walked

'...its to dangerous to my heart...' she thought not able to finish the sentence out loud

Ialdo slashed at a few more of the bees with his daggers, now stained with blood.
"Well, it's kinda hard with all these bees around!" Ialdo said to the man and started to retreat down to the trapdoor. The second he stepped inside, the bees stopped attacking him and started to go for the civillians. Ialdo sighed with relief and then gagged - the air down here was dirty and it would be unwise to breath it in. Ialdo pulled his hood over his head and used some of the material at the side of the hood to cover his mouth.
"So, where does this lead to?" He asked the man.

*Yumiiko started panting due to the stale air, then she twitched as if something slapped her in the face, she stood motionless, not breathing, not blinking, surprisingly not talking*

*she then started walking the stairs again, but slowly she took steps as if she were no worried of the danger that trailed behind them, she walked at the back of the line, falling behind, but not screaming or pleaing, simply walking slowly as if she had turned zombie*
