The Black Robe had thought this would happen. he streched forth his hands and chanted pyrokiomen zakhrramin, and a magical fire burst forth from his hands, engulfing a few of the horses and their riders. With that, he strode towards his horse and mounted.

Rumour steps forwards, changing as she moves, her skin rippling as she goes down on all fours as a huge black sabertooth. She takes a running leap at two of the armoured men, smashing into them with the force of an NFL linebacker. The crack of the mens' backs breaking can be heard echoing throughout the forest......

Knyn let go of his reins and slashed at the nearest soldier with Mortality. The ebony greatsword sheared through armor, bit into flesh. Its cursed blade pumped icy death into the enemy soldier. The man was dead instantly. Not accustomed to fighting on horseback, Knyn slipped and nearly fell off when two cavalrymen charged him with lances. One lance missed; the other struck a glancing blow against his chainmail that managed to knock the wind from him.

The mage, now securley on his horse spread his hands forth once more towards two horsemen that were charging towards him. The Lightning forked and struck them both with a force that blew them off their horses and onto the road.

The captain was yelling for his men to retreat. After a few final blows, the cavalry regrouped. "I'll be back," he promised. With a last venomous glare, he wheeled his horse around and cantered back for the city walls, his men behind him.

Meanwhile, Knyn decided it was time to leave. Fleeing the kingdom was impossible, as the Tomb of Kings lay on its northeastern edge. Nonetheless, he urged his gray stallion into a gallop.

Rumour sprints after the fleeing men, her shape changing again into a poisonous green mist that gets down their throats and constricts their breathing passages, strangling them effectively. Without a word, the green mist turns back into the human-like woman and she watches the mens' horses run off. Rumour turns back to the others and smirks.....

The mage turns his horse and gallops after Knyn.

Rumour wtaches them gallop off, thinks about her decisions for a moment, then shifts into a black war charger, and follows them, overtaking them a few minutes later......

They journeyed until daybreak, when ahead Knyn glimpsed a small village. He dug his heels into the flanks of his exhausted horse and trotted forward.

Rumour stays in her horse form, snorting slightly as they come up to the village......

"Provisions," Knyn said in answer to the Black Robe's question, nearing the outskirts of the thatched cottages.

The Mage rode after Knyn, stopping in the centre of the village.

Turwaithiel was in the middle of the group, riding with swift speed.

"It'll be better if we split up." He gestured at the Black Robe. "Meet back here in an hour."
