Pippa smiled at the man and then looked aorund. "We should get moving, wouldn't make sense to stay here for very long."
"I agree with, Pippa, my father will know your free. We should move." Meer replied.
"How would he know?" Lane demanded. Pippa frowned, she knew Lane had problems when it came to humans, but she never snapped. She's tired! Pippa laughed inwardly. Lane hadn't had sleep in a few days, no wonder she was snappy.
Fyra watched with interest as Joran readied herself for flight. The transformation always looked odd to her- her species could not walk amoung humans like dragonkind, nor had much wish to. Those who had strayed too close to humans too often were often caught and kept chained in a rich man's house as a showtrophy for wealth. They never stayed long, however, being able to charm open most locks and pick others with their claws, but nevertheless it was an unpleasent experience for all.
Once Joran finished, she stretched her wings and peered back at the firedrake. "Can you keep up?"
Fyra laughed. "My dear, this little frame is built for speed. I'll be fine."
Lethero carefully mounted Jo, taking a secure handhold. Joran lifted her wings, and pounded the ground in a leap, gaining air and taking flight. Behind, Fyra almost stepped into air by comparison, not carrying a burden as well as being tonnes lighter then her new aquatience.
The air was cooling, and Fyra pounded her wings to keep up. She may have claimed to be built for speed, but this was more difficult then she expected. It's been years since I've flown with dragons. I wonder how Adje is. The sun was growing dim in the sky and Fyra's wing muscles were beginning to faulter when Joran started a leasurly descent, mindful of her cargo clinging to her back.
Fyra followed, wondering if Lethero had brought any hotcakes.
It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
Okay so if you're like me you are a little... confused with all that is going on. Mostly because there is a LOT of characters. Usually you expect half of them to drop out... but none have so I have compiled a list for all of our sakes so we know who we are with and what is going on. I didn't even REALIZE how many there were till I started, WOW. There are 15 of us who have rescued Scado, a small army in many regards
Here is a quick Synopsis of the Story as far as I can tell: So those of us below went to Rescue Scado. Whether you were with us in the beginning or not we set off to rescue Scado who had been capture by Lord Crayas, Meer's Father. Lethero - Scado's Father - asked us to because a threat has once again risen against Magical creatures and we need his son's help to stop it. Along the way we picked up an... assortment of magical creatures. Now back where Scado was being held another human named Adam, who is a companion of the Vampire Peace, was also captured so Peace sought us out so we could help rescue him as well. Meer went to visit the Prisoners because he didn't believe they were being held rightfully. With his influence he managed to trick the guards to "transfer" the prisoners. While they were on the road they ran into our party, and after a short skirmish (Let's be honest they didn't stand much of a chance), we killed the guards and freed the prisoners. Now we have to move, because Lord Crayas had wizards who will be aware that the prisoners have been gone and freed. We need to head back to Lethero to find out what to do (which will be hard because he is gone). So that is it for us in this section. Now I labeled things in this order Race - gender - Name - Age - Whether they are new to the story or a Legend (Someone who was part of this all before) - and who writes for them.

Okay so there you all go, hope it helps. Lethero I would love it if you could give us a brief synopsis of what happened before. Who the priest is and all that good stuff. Also I am making another character, I know, like we need another one. But this one will be a bad guy to keep us all on our toes a bit.
History: Korah works for the King of Scado. A man who has very little... love for Magical Creatures. Things are changing and moving however and Korah has been released by his dark master to hunt down and destroy any magical creatures who might threaten the "Progress" of things. He is a personal advisor of the King, and answers solely to him. He hates Magical Creatures, and magic itself, but he uses it as a means to an end, he uses it to destroy all magical creatures.
Abilities: Korah can summon and raise the dead. Everything about him is death, the very ground he walks on turns dry and cracked, plants shrivel up and die in his presence. His main magical power is death itself, he can undo or kill things. Swords will rust and turn to dust, clothes will dissolve, flesh will rot. That whole type of thing. He can summon/control the dead, as well as bring demons and other demonic forces forth from the underworld. He is VERY hard to kill, mere swords and such will not work on him, he doesn't bleed or really feel pain. He can be killed, you'll find out how eventually. He is also a very skilled sword fighter, and will often use his swords instead of magic when he can. His sword is something like a Morgul blade from LOTR. When it stabs you it is poisonous and begins to eat away at your flesh.
Korah
Korah strode through the dark halls of the castle. The torches that lit the corridor went out as he walked past them, the flames dissolving in the air as the torches turned to ash and fell, scattering along the rocks.
Approaching a pair of double doors Korah flicked his hands and they burst open, parting before him like willing servants as he strode into the dimly lit chamber. "Lord Crayas," Korah said, his booming voice echoing off the cold stone walls. "Things have gone as planned."
"They have rescued the prisoner?" Crayas asked as he glanced over at Korah, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Yes," Korah smoothly answered. He was used to dealing with Nobles like Crayas, men who craved power and authority, who would do anything to gain more. They were like greedy rats, nibbling at the crumbs that tumble off the King's table, and all the while looking for more. "Your wizards confirmed it only a few moments ago, the prisoners have been rescued and not to far from here. The Magical creatures should have waited a bit longer, till they were at least further away, foolish, but it shall work to our advantage."
"Good, good," Crayas murmured as he greedily rubbed his hands together. "What do you need then my Lord?"
"I need fifty of your knights," Korah answered without hesitation, "And your four wizards."
"Fifty..." Crayas asked, surprise evident on his face. "But that is nearly all I command."
"Indeed, I took the liberties of ordering them to be prepared for me, I leave at once," Korah said, as he turned and headed out of the room.
"Remember what you promised," Crayas called, "You will return my son to me, unharmed."
"That is no longer possible," Korah answered without even turning around. "He is a traitor to the crown, and will be killed as one."
"But you promised," Crayas stuttered.
"I lied," Korah answered as he turned and disappeared. Moments later he was down in the courtyard. A black steed waiting for him to mount. The other knights and Wizards were already there, ready to leave. When Korah realized all was ready he slowly raised his hands into the air, arms rising toward the moon as he began to chant and whisper. "Calash kool devar, sethar ne veto! Mother of the moon, daughter of blood, be born and brought forth the seeker, the one who breathes fire and sings over the bones of others!" As the words left his mouth Korah brought out a dagger, raising it upward he sliced at his hand and waited. No blood came out, instead a dark black liquid began to form. One drop fell, landing on the ground with a hiss as smoke rose slowly into the air. Then the ground opened, fire spewing from the hole as a large clawed hand rose out from the ground.
Another hand appeared, clawing at the earth as it pulled itself out. The creature was large, cloaked in fire and smoke with eyes like burning embers. On its back were two gigantic wings that rose into the air, blocking out the night sky. In one hand it clutched a whip made purely of fire, in the other a flaming sword that hissed in the cool night air. Two horns protruded from its skull, and its large mouth was rimmed with rows of jagged teeth. The beast was at least five times taller then a human, and as it rose forth the horses in the area began to scream and shake with fear. The knights back up, many turning white as they back away.
"Go," Korah ordered, "Find the magical creatures and delay them for my coming."
The beast roared, its bellow shaking the earth as it leaped into the air. Two powerful wings pounded the air, blowing dust and debris as it took off into the night sky. "Come!" Korah called as he swung upon his horse's back, "We ride!"
****
Yay for bad guys! Okay so Korah is coming after us, and imagine the Demon as the Balrog from LOTR, basically similar!
"Four of them." He continued, "He uses them specifically for tracking what he always told me were criminals among your kind." The fairy girl gave an irritable sniff at his last words, but Meer couldn't help it. It was the way he'd been raised to talk, "But he'll have been using at least one to watch me transporting Scado and Adam, so now he knows what's happened." He hung his head a little, "Which means he wants me dead as well. It has to."
One of the other creatures scoffed, "Join the club."
A pained look crossed his face, "You're right, my father isn't a good man, but how would any of you feel if you were disowned by your own parents?" He sighed, "But we have to get moving as soon as possible. Where to is the only question."
Traystal - Spirit
Having been seemingly dismissed by the woman standing on the water, Traystal took refuge close to the group he'd seen area. Dangerous as it was for him to be around them, he was curious. What had caused a convergence of such a group of powerful creatures?
The idea of being caught with them by the humans didn't really appeal to him. The humans were wise enough nowadays to bring along trinkets that could stop him changing form and simply running away.
But then, as long as these people didn't notice him, he wouldn't be compelled to take his other form, and he'd still be able to run away when the humans arrived. And really, who was going to notice an extra shadow lurking about in the middle of a forest?
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt. - Yossarian, Catch-22
Wide-eyed stupid.
If you're gonna rule the world, you've gotta get up early! - Joel S. Dickens
Altu sat back, away from the large group of creatures as usual. He listened to their bickering as they all decided what to do next. The other griffin sat a little back from the others also. He got up and trotted happily over to him.
His mood had greatly lifted after the fight. Fighting was what Altu was best at. He was brave and strong, so it came naturally that he was a born warrior. Talking and communicating with others, well, that was a problem. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to people, he just never knew what to say.
"Ironclaw, isn't it?" he said to the griffin, who looked at him and nodded.
"You're an exeptional fighter. I just noticed that."
Ironclaw smiled ands thanked him.
"They got what they had coming."
Altu turned his head to the others, who were still bickering. "But what now?"
“Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things. So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.”
Lane fluttered in the air landing on Pippa's shoulder. "I don't care where, but we need to leave!" She said. "Enough gaping with our mouths open. We know we'll be watched and that they'll know where we're going, but if we can find somewhere that can block off the tracking it would make life easy. I've not power over hiding from wizards, only hiding from the eyes."
"I agree, we should go." Pippa shifted beneath her and shook her wolf head then streched a little.
*okay I'll speed stuff up oh yeah and DSF not in this fight but eventually can Korah be the one to kill Peace*
Adam
The venom coursed through my body. It burnt and hurt like hell, making up for time it won't have I thought. I couldn't help but let out a scream as I felt all the heat zone out of by body replaced by biting cold. Through the cold I felt a hand brush my face. Probably Peaces hand. Peace had mentioned that the transformation was fast and sure enough after a few more minutes the pain faded away and I could open my eyes. They glided open with a grace that I'd never known. People were all around Peace one of them, smiling. I jumped up and people quickly backed away, I hadn't realised that I had done it very quickly.
"wow" I said.
"welcome into the world of vampires" Peace said and Ra nodded.
"nice work Peace I guess really old vampires like you have very powerful venom" Ra said and I looked down at my self. My skin was flawless and had a slight golden glow to it. I pushed it and it was hard but soft at the same time. I could see and hear to far off it was amazing. I could see why Peace was so quiet I could of stood their and listened and looked for days before moving. In the distant their was a roar and the beating of wings.
"do you here that Peace" I said in what I though was normal level but was actually a whisper, even so Peace heard it.
"I do" He said in a normal voice. People perked up their ears and the werewolf pack howled in anger. Ra's eyes turned to daggers.
"demonaisa, demon to the rest of you" He said. Peace nodded and stood back but was smiling.
"time for your first fight as a-" he was cut off as a large beast landed on the floor followed by three more. A griffin leaped into the air followed by a phoenix the beast was much larger than them and the beast knocked them aside, Peace jumped high and was whacked in the stomach he crashed into the floor making an impact crater.
"don't worry we have this" Ra said to the werewolves as he started to glow and turned into his god form he was followed by Altu and Ironclaw as well as the fawkes who had healed. Peace got up and us both hearing the roar turned to the horizon were a large group of knights was running at us I turned toward Peace but he was busy helping Ra. So like the rest of the group I got ready for Battle.
"Hi" I said to April as I stepped back with her.
"now really" she said and I nodded.
"sorry I'm use to getting my ass kicked and having Peace come save me but I've had my moments" I said and decided to try out my crazy vampire powers. I ran at the army Scado close behind me. I weaved under a charging horse tearing open it's ribcage making the rider fall off. I grabbed the rider and drained him. I filled me with warmth and power. I killed three more skilfully weaving in and out of the crowd soon I was hoping from horse to horse, they occasionally disappeared beneath me as a werewolf attacked. Suddenly a blast of black magic hit me and I felt my self losing my balance but I quickly regained it.
" I'm Korah and I'll be killing you to day" Korah said he was a few horse up on a black steed. I grabbed a sword from one of the guard as I danced toward him. My sword clashed with his and he did a back flip onto another hourse. I did the same and we exchanged a few more blows. He went for my legs but I saw it coming and stamped on the sword I tried to swipe for him but he caught my sword and it rusted away to nothing.
"dam" I said realising it was a necromancer. He pushed me away and I almost fell off the horse. Luckily I caught on to his sword and swung around kicking off the rider Korahs sword dropped to the floor and he screamed in rage and hit me with a glowing black fist. I soared through the air before landing in a deep impact crater.
"ass" I said pulling my self out as the battle raged around us.
The battle happened so quickly, where did they all some from and just plain why? April's thoughts couldn't register because she was making sure everyone was doing okay the only thing she could do was Shield, heal, shield heal heal. She stood unnoticed at the top of a nearby tree, humans could never find her here and at that she smirked at that their inability to perceive.
She didn't notice the movement below her.
"Hey Ms. April," A voice came from a nearby branch.
"Hi-" April then was pushed off the tree from a gust of wind.
"Damn it!" She cried as she landed in a shrub, it wasn't thorny but blood gushed from her elbows and anybody part used to break her fall. She staggered up to find a face smirking at her, "Peter?!"
"Hiho April," The teenager lifted up his wand and smirked a mad man smile.
"Peter what are you doing?!" She tried to reach for her bag, but it had parted from her during the fall.
"You left me, to them," He motioned toward the battle scene, "You bloody left me to die!"
"No I didn't Peter!" She then noticed a silver ring around his neck as she backed up. It couldn't be, no. She had tutored Peter in the art of magic atleast three years ago, she needed cash back then so that's why April took the job of teaching the young sir, and here he was trying to kill her.
She was so busy on memory lane that she didn't notice Peter's mouth move and the flick of his wrist.
She was hit with such a pain she crumpled to the ground in sheer pain she attempted to crawl to her bag but the pain came back even stronger. Peter kept chanting...
*someone come save her from her evil student!*
The one who smiles the most has something to hide.
..i'm lonely...message me..some how add me on your social networking site (unless you are some creepy weirdo who stalks girls for their organ harvesting company..i personally like them inside of me thankyou )
Altu was seeing red. One minute he was casually chatting with a beast similar to himself, next a horde of zombies and a necromancer where upon them. He was loosing it. His civilised side has surely been slightly coaxed out of him by the other creatures, but now he was acting like a caged animal, red froth gathering at his mouth.
Foul breathed, rotting corpses were appearing everywhere. Mauled hands clawed and raked at his feet as they burst from the dry cracked earth.
He threw his head back and screeched, the harrowing scream that caused every living being in the battle to flinch in pain. He reered, using one heavy claw to bat a headless corpse from his way. He roared as he felt something smash into the back of his neck, a sharp set of rotted teeth tearing straight through his cobbled skin. He beat his wings furiously, not caring he was clawing at his own skin in the attempt to throw the thing off.
It fell to the ground with a thump, and the last thing it saw was the flash of colour as Altu's beak crunched on it's torso.
They were everywhere. He was trying to be everywhere. They were swarming him. The necromancer was laughing evily as creature after creature seemed to be buried alive it living corpses. He waded through them, using his wings, tail and claws to beat them out of his way.
Lane flew by him screaming as a massive horde chased her across the camp. He roared, grabbing the nearest one by the shoulder ans flinging it backwards as hard as he could muster. He butted another out of the way with the bony horn-like stumps on is beak.
Pain.... pain... The necromancer threw Peace to the ground. The vampire lay gasping on the ground. Not sure if he was dead or not, Altu stood on his rear legs and said in a horrifyingly clear voice, "You will die for that, necromancer!"
“Poetry is old, ancient, goes back far. It is among the oldest of living things. So old it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.”
Lane groaned when she saw more. She sliped near Alice wihtout being sene and she yanked dirt up around the other wizard. Slightly confussed his attacks stopped him long enough for PIppa to jump him from behind.
"What is going on?" She hissed looking around. "Someone come help Alice!"
***I'm just as confussed as my character, when did so many beasts show up? Or did I read it wrong?***
Ahhh okay CHAOS!!! Let me explain since I must have done a horrible job before!
First off I like the idea about korah kill Peace, jok, will get to that eventually.
Second off Ra can't turn into his God form at night and he won't do it yet, since no one knows he is a God, except maybe some of the legends.
Also there aren't any beasts Mad_Moo. Korah the necromancer arrived with 50 knights, 4 wizards, and the one giant demon. Maybe he summoned something to attack Atlu, I am cool with that, or maybe it is an illusion he is seeing to make him go crazy.
**I think Jok brought in Korah's army while we were all just sitting around. His balrog-like demon came first, and is still hanging about somewhere. I think Ra and a couple of others were attacking him. Peace has been hurt pretty bad by Korah, Adam's lost his sword and the rest I think you know.**
Meer
Things had managed to get out of hand very quickly, and Meer now realised he was way out of his depth. An enormous demon who'd tossed an ancient vampire aside like a ragdoll, a necromancer he didn't recognise but who had to work for his father, a horde of zombies and his father's wizards.
A charging knight brought him around. This was just ahuman, this was something Meer could fight. Metal sang as he drew his sword and raised it to block the knight's attack. Meer staggered under the force of the blow, and then took a few extra steps back. Crouching, Meer ducked across in front of the horse. Now on the rider's left side, Meer was at a significant advantage. His father's soldier hastily started turning his horse, twisting in the saddle to try to attack Meer again. But the boy was out of reach, and as his opponent drew back for another swing, Meer darted forward, stabbing at him. His sword slid between two plates of the knight's armour, then through his ribcage at a steep angle to graze his heart.
Meer jumped back, seeing blood gush from his enemy's side. Drawing a dagger, he grabbed the saddle and swung himself up, using his momentum to drive the dagger into the knight's neck, finishing him.
Traystal
The spirit wet his lips nervously as the fairy and the werewolf girl called for someone to help April, who he could only assume was the witch girl who was writhing in pain. They were asking for a attack on a wizard. Could he do that? They had magic that was meant to kill and enslave spirits like him. He would have sighed at his own stupidity, were he able to draw breath.
Traystal flitted around behind the wizard, then took his other form. He jumped forward, one arm wrapping around the wizard's throat while his other hand grabbed his wrist. Hopefully his opponent wouldn't be able to use magic on him now.
He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt. - Yossarian, Catch-22

*Ok, thanks for the explanation of everything that's happening. It was done very well, except for the characters. Some of the characters you mentioned were not Legends. When I talk about the Legends I am speaking of the people who were in the very first Sada: Lethero (Me), Ajle (Maybe), Nicarga (TNCowGirl), and Fyra (Nutty).

Okay these are the Legends of Sada. I have adjusted their age to fit the current setting. Anyone who wants to can claim these. As for me I will claim Lindsaroo's character Telayna, the Alan. I will bring her in later.
-Scado-
Scado lunged and stabbed at the humans, removing many heads and limbs. The human's swords glanced off harmlessy on his armor. Soon zombies has started to appear and he knew that a Necromancer had arrived. He sliced the zombies, but knew that it would take more than that to kill one. The human soldiers he killed rose from the dead to try and take his life again. Slowly the Magical Creatures were being pushed back by the overwhelming force of the undead. *Can't make it too easy. *
-Lethero-
Lethero felt the wind flow across his face. He had long shifted to his Werewolf form to combat the cold air. His old bones were starting to become stiff from cold and his uncomfortable seat. "Are we almost there?" he asked Joran.
"About one more hour," Joran answered.
"We need to hurry. If this evil is as bad as you say I need to figure out how Ajle thinks I can stop it."

Sounds good jok101, just one note though, Ra can't turn into his God form at night. And since that part of his history is still secret he won't be doing it any time soon.
Ra
Ra watched Adam stand up, his face turning in wonder as he stared at everyone around him. His skin glowed softly with a pale yellow light as he turned, listening and watching the world around him. "Welcome to the Vampire World," Peace said as he reached over and patted Adam on the shoulder.
"Peace..." Adam whispered, "Do you hear that?"
"Yes," Peace simply answered. There wasn't really anytime to say anything more as a large shadow appear in the sky, blotting out the stars as a fierce roar shattered the quite night.
Ra's hawk like eyes looked up, and instantly he felt a small shiver work its way up his spine as he glanced the giant best in the sky. "A demonia," he whispered, "Or a demon to you humans." The next few seconds seemed to flash by as the giant beast landed on the ground. It let out a howl of fury as its giant first swung through the air, connecting with Altu who had risen to fight it. The basilisk was thrown in the air with a screech as it plowed through a nearby tree with a loud crack. Fawkes and Ironclaw rose into the air next, both of them streaking towards the demon as they attacked it. The demon was hardly phased by their movements, with a downward swing his smacked them both, sending them hurtling to the ground below with a loud boom that shook the earth.
One of the Werewolfs from Lethero's pack leapt into the air, trying to distract the demon from his rampage. It was short lived, the demon let out a bellow of fury as it swung his sword with terrifying speed. The fire blade sliced through the werewolf like it was cutting through butter. The poor creature didn't even have time to cry as it was hewn in two as a spray of blood cascaded over the area.
"My God..." Meer whispered as he stepped back, staring at the giant thing.
"He's hardly a god," Ra answered, "But he is a problem. Peace, with me, I will need your help!"
The vampire nodded as Ra and him turned and bounded toward the demon. Ra reached it first. Flipping in the air a wooden staff materialized in his hands as he flew by the creatures head. With a grunt Ra swung the staff, his muscles clenching as the stick smashed into the demon's head, shattering its horn and sending the giant beast stumbling to the side as it turned to face this new threat. Peace took the distraction to attack next. Jumping high he flipped in the air, bringing his leg down hard on the creatures back, sending it stumbling forward now as Ra raised his hand and waved it into the air, drawing intricate signs as he called, "RETURN!"
A sudden shock wave swept through the ground, toppling trees and men as the ground shook and shuddered. The demon stumbled, but didn't fall, instead it charged forward to Ra with peace at his side. "Ra..." Peace said, "The demon is still here." Turning to Ra he demanded, "Why is the demon still here!"
Ra just shrugged, "Not sure, I thought that would take care of him!'
Peace didn't have time to answer as the Demon arrived. Swinging it's sword down it nearly chopped them in two as they rolled to the side. The flaming whip lashed out of no where, wrapping itself around Ra's leg as it tossed him high in the air, sending him crashing to the ground far away. "Shit," Ra muttered as he slowly scrambled to his feet and began to make his way back to the battle, "This guy is no joke."
He looked up to see Atlu go down. The great beast was writing and snapping, almost as if he was being attacked by some illusion he couldn't see. Cursing silently Ra could see the dark magic encircling the beast, tricking it and taunting it like some cruel master. Up ahead the demon circled, its giant sword swinging as it knicked peace and sent the Vampire hurtling to the ground, his body flopping like a rag doll as he collapsed.
They had to retreat, or at least start getting organized. They were getting picked off one by one, and things needed to be brought to order, and fast. Muttering about how it always was up to him Ra quickly waved his hand, pointing at Atlu as the weird magical chains on him fell off, releasing him from the illusion curse. But trouble was still coming. The ground began to shake and split open as corpses slowly dragged themselves forward, their rotting bodies filling the air with a stink as they stumbled forward, moans of horror echoing from their rotten throats.
Things had just gotten worse. Ra turned to see the giant demon being attacked by Ironclaw and Fawke. The two were working together, but he doubted they could keep it up for much longer. This beast wasn't a simple summon, it was something that only those with the strongest magic could command. Whispering a spell Ra floated up into the air as he quickly surveyed the battle. The werewolfs, Adam, Meer, Keenan, and Rhett were fighting with the knights and the wizards, but they were slowly being pushed back. The arrival of the zombies weren't helping either as Atlu and Lane plowed through them, striking to and fro as they worked endlessly to destroy the monsters. April lay on the ground, wounded from a wizard, Peace was wounded as well. He suddenly saw Adam go flying, a hit from one of the beings on horse back. They were loosing.
"We need to regroup," he muttered. Quickly whispering a spell he telepathically linked himself with the others and called, Fall back, were loosing, and were to scattered. Come together in a group, put the wounded in the middle and draw back. We should be able to hold them off
Suddenly a thin ray of light appeared over the horizon as the sun began to slowly rise. Ra let out a welcoming breath as he felt the power course through him. Finally. As the magical creatures pushed back Ra raised his hand into the air, summoning the fire from within. The flames leacked from him, spiraling up around his wrist and forming a small ball in his palm. Then he through it. The fire ball crashed into the earth, exploding like a large bomb, landing in-between the magical creatures and the humans. The humans were tossed back and sent flying as the magical creatures turned and fled.
Ra quickly formed into a hawk and took off after the Magical creatures. The humans were wounded and distracted for a while. They had some time to escape, hopefully it was enough.
