Until the End

Izlude and Meliodoul looked at each other. She turned her head and Izlude sighed. "The god stone is said to be the last remnant of the ancient gods on earth. It's power is supposed to be limitless. If one is to touch the stone one would die, being flooded with power. Only the guardian stones, when placed in a pattern, can contain it's power. Guardian stones are made be a ritual spell and them offering the blood of those closest to you. I think Thorn freaked out because the stone hadn't been offered enough blood to fully grow."

"Wait, what you're saying sounds like a fairytale to me," Tysa said.

"It's true," said Nate walking towards the middle of the room, "I've read the story, but no one is supposed to know about it. How do you know Izlude?"

Before he could answer they heard an explosion outside. Many ran out to see fires beginning to engulf the town. "Draconians!" Izlude drew his sword, "I need a few to stay here with Bella and Thorn, it won't take them long to reach here. Meliodoul, stay here, those who are coming, follow me."

I looked at the two girls on the bed.

"I'll come." I said. "I can probably be of some use." I unstrapped my bow.

"But if I'm killed," I said, pointing at Izlude. "You had better avenge the deaths of the people in the forest."

I looked out. The town that had just this morning seemed like a haven, of new things and beauty, was same old, same old, raw and ugly.

And burning.

Kaoli-

Kaoli snarled and leaped out the door after Izlude. She hated Draconians and it didn't help that whenever they saw her they freaked and attacked en masse. Once she was clear of the door frame Kaoli unfurled her wings and jumped ahead of him. Her wings reflected the light of the fire and the setting sun, shining like a beacon.

Her eyesight had enhanced itself too, even from this distance Kaoli could see the Draconians were already attacking people. Almost like it sensed a fight the Rage stirred inside her. Kaoli struggled to push it to the side as she arrowed through the sky towards the town.

Thorn-

Thorn watched some of the people leave the tent, but some of them stayed. To protect Bella, Thorn and the healer.

"Great. Why do I have to be injured right when a battle it about to happen?" She moaned.

Nathan-

I looked at Zip. "Stay here with Bella."

Reaching for the door, i heard a laugh and felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned.

"Yeah right." Zip said. "Like I'm going to let my baby brother, who i just got back, go off fighting draconians without me. We're together until the end now, Nathan, whether you want it or not."

I sighed, knowing there would be no argument. Though i could not remember most of my past, i did remember Zip to be stubborn.

"Fine, but stay close." i said, then turned to Bella. "We'll be back."

Then we ran from the hut without a backwards glance.

Ninette~

Ninie turned to Blind Seer. "Stay here and protect them." Blind Seer nodded and Ninette ran after the other out the door, drawing her sword.

Blind Seer~

Blind watched as Ninie, his best friend, ran out the door. He looked at the Bella girl, the Thorn girl, and Hazel. Hazel looked down at him and patted his head, smiling slightly.

Bella--

I watched the others go, and immediatly got to my feet. My side hurt, badly, but I was not being left behind.

"Wait up!" I shouted, making sure all six four daggers were in their proper sheaths, as well as grabbing the other two and shoving them in my hair (which was conveniently a bun).

"Bella, are you mad?" I asked, looking at her as she approached.

"I'm not being left behind," she said defiantly.

"Is she completely mad?" I asked whoever was next to me.

"Probably," Zip answered. "I think she's got a thing for my brother."

"Congratulations on finding him by the way," I said, just before the draconians came into view.

I notched an arrow into my bow. My brother had taught me how to shoot.

With a quick blow, I set the tip flaming, took aim, and shot the creature cresting the hill.

*is Blind Seer a dog?*
Thorn-


Thorn looked at the Blind seer after Bella left.

"Some how I think this is all my fault....yet...." She stopped.

Hazel gave her a smile." Do not fret, you cannot know the future. Things like this happen to us all."

Thorn smiled. The blind Seer sat next to her, allowing Thorn to pet him. RRRIIIIPPP!!!
The 3 in the tent saw a draconian rip open the tent. Thorn( she's not tied up anymore) ran to grab her bow and arrows. But the draconian was in her way. Blind leaped onto it tearing its arm. Thorn used this destraction to grab her weapons.

Taking aim she releaced a poisoned tipped arrow and it struck the beast in the neck. Blind Seer instantly released it. The draconian fell to the ground- dead.

Thorn gazed outside to see more of them." How did they get here so fast?" She wondered.

*He's a giant wolf that comes up right above Ninie's waist (Huge)...sorry i shouldv'e said that earlier. Hehe.*

*ok atleast I made him sound wolf like ^_^*

***Is very lost, where are my people?***

*TN I believe your people went off to fight, unless one of the them stayed with Torn. Hope this helps a little.)

Kaoli-

Kaoli had beaten the draconians in the middle of town, but there were so many she was outnumbered 10:1. Quietly she took to the air again and circled the town, searching for the others, she found them cresting the hill just at the town entrance with a bunch of draconians already there.

With a grin Kaoli folded her wings and dropped landing on one of the draconians heads. Quickly she slit his throat with her sword and then flipped off his body to land beside the others.

Izlude cursed under his breath as he cut down another enemy,Where are they all coming from? He cut down another only to see that Bella had followed them. Behind he were two Draconians and he drew his bow felling both of them, but he lost track of his surroundings. Another one came up behind him. He tried to Dodge, but was slashed in the arm. He spun around clutching his wound, but the monster was slain by Bella.

"Consider us even."

Melidoul cut one of the monsters nearly in half, "We can't stay here."

"Where do we go then?" Asked Thorn.

"The wood, my brother an I decided if anything went wrong we would go there."
