Tahlavain clenched her jaw and nodded slowly, but each step brought pain, though she did her best to ignore it. She unsheathed her sword and opened the door slowly. Glancing back at Darrell with a determind expression, Tahlavain walked down the passageway swiftly, and came towards the outer door. She stopped, however, when she went to push it open, then turned around, walking the opposite way. Not pausing to tell Darrell where she was going, Tahlavain ran down the longer passageway and the path turned into stairs, which led up to a roof. It took all her will power, but she managed to block her thoughts from the Maiean as she came up to the roof and made her way over to the edge, looking down at where the Maiean had Deawen at sword point.

Deawen who could talk telepathicly as well spoke up
do you really think she will come out alone? Deawen made sure that Tahlavain and darrel both heard this in their mind
killing me will only bring your death sooner she said and she ment it no matter how fast he struck she could match it.

Deawen's hand slowly wandered to the poisoned blade then with lightning speed she twisted around missing the point in her neck then slashed at her captor she missed but managed to pin him. 8)

(aaahh! *pulls hair out* Tahlavain goes through all that trouble and you manage to pull it off ... sneak... lol)

The Maiean attempted to react to Deawen's swift movement, but she outmatched him that time. He retaliated by forcing his full weight on her, avoiding her blade, and knocking her down. He would have run, but was stopped when Deawen tripped him. The Maiean kicked her collar bone hard to get her to let him go, then scrambled to his feet.

As gaurds within the city were alerted to the commotion, he let out a shrill whistle. His horse galloped up to him, and a few Maieans appeared in various places, retreating, though one on the roof caught sight of Tahlavain and Darrell and delayed his retreat long enough to unsheath his blade and challenge them.

Deawen scambled to her feet she ran to the others and went behind them she did not want to be seen by the city guards.

"This one's mine" Darrell muutered as a maiean stopped in front of them, sword draw. He unsheathed his sword, immediately taking the 'on guard' position. The maiean closed in, slashing across darrell's chest. Darrell blocked the slash, and quickly followed up with a thrust towards the maieans shoulder.

Deawen's breathing went short as she recovered from the pain.

Tahlavain watched closely, ready to jump in at any moment. She hadn't noticed, however, another shadow not far behind the first Maiean, and brought her sword up only just in time to prevent a slice to her shoulder. His follow up blow was too quick for Tahlavain to focus on, her head still pulsing with pain, but luckily it was only the flat of his blade which came in contact with her side. Tahlavain stumbled back, barely catching her balance as she held a hand to her forehead. The blood was still there, and it had begun to slip into her eye. Wiping some of the blood, she forced her focus back on the Maiean attacking her, and put in a few quick slices, before grasping the hilt of Corasar with both hands and bringing it around to slice the Maiean's throat.

The Maiean by Darrell dodged the thrust then ducked low, striking for his legs, then drawing a dagger to block any blows he might recieve in the process of his strike. (I'm always having daggers drawn on you, Darrell lol)

Deawen sprung into action she drew her sword and with a fluid motion she sliced the Shadow before her

(4th!!!! thats a long time. Urgent business it is, although this is pretty urgent if you ask me. lol.And daggers don't bother me or my charrie Silm, so don't worry about it.)

Darrell skipped out the way of the maieans thrust and brought his sword down hard on its dagger, knocking it lose in the maieans hand. Quickly he brought his sword up through the dagger from the opposite direction, knocking it out of the maieans hand. He saw the maiea nchop with his sword almost too late, but managed to get his sword up in time.

The Maiean made a dive and a strike, but also made the fatal mistake of raising his sword too high for too long, exposing the prime target area of his midsection.

Deawen didn't like this at all she yelled "DUCK!" as her companoins did so she lifted her arms then sent her arms straight forward a single stream of fire then she moved her arms apart and two fire streams. she sent them towards the Maiean 's.

The Maiean scattered instantly, a few of them getting fried (*snicker*) before retreating. The guards of the city were now quite alerted to the situation and they pursued the Maiean out of the city, as they indeed looked very much like suspicious characters.

Tahlavain had ducked when told to, or more so fallen, a hand on her bowed head while she remained on her knees and one hand. As the Maiean left she let out a sigh of relief and staggered to her feet, managing to steady herself with the assistance of her sword.
