Tiberius veered to the side as the beam of light shot passed him.

-we need to get out of here.- He thought quickly. throwing his hands up into a defensive possition, He caused the wind to suddenly blast forward toward Kaleb. He turned then and grabbed Clad around his torso and pulled him back down to the ground. "We have got to find Tirou, and get out of here! That insane woman is too powerfull, and we're too new at this! Now go!" He dropped Clad and ran to find Tirou, He saw her laying on the ground, obviously in pain. He ran forward and scooped her up before darting down an alley. He shouted to Clad before dissapearing. "Meet me at the west gate!"

Kaleb saw the wind manipulator's frantic attempts to get his companions away from the threat she was posing. At least one of these idiots has some sense... But no matter how fast they ran, they wouldn't get very far...

The Neegmas stone was destroyed, as so the veil had lifted. Her animal minions were probably ripping through the outer parts of town at this very moment, merciless and hungry. She summoned small flecks of light, looking like shards of a broken mirror, and sent them flying toward the fleeing group.

"Sorry to tell you I'm not going to give up my chance to crush the opposition, people," she announced lightly. "I'm not taking any risks, no matter how useless you are."

Burn...

Yelling towards Tiberius, "Wait, you may need me." Still I kept my eyes vexed towards Kaleb, "You think your so great now because of your army out side of town, eh?" I turned to face where the monsters were. As high as it was it was easy to see where the monsters were. I looked back at her. "Wanna see a magic trick? Look at your monsters. Hehe, Well wanna see them disappear?"

I raised one hand balled into a fist. I jerked it open and at that same instance, an earthquake rattled the town. The ground split where monsters was. I look back at Kaleb still hold my right arm up. "You think thats all?" Still staring at her I closed my fist and ground closed back together with the same force and quickness as it had opened.

At that instant, The marks on my face and arms gave out. They were still there they just quit glowing. My brillant green light had vanished from the sky. Everything was getting cloudy, had I used up to much energy. I started to fall back, the pillar of dirt fall to rubble very slowly which eased me to the ground. When I finally hit the ground I stared up at the sky, I closed my eyes for a second. Opened them again to find Kaleb standing over me.

Then I blacked out.

Im not sure what was going to happen next I didnt want to die. I had to get to my sister. I had to find the other Chosen.......................I had to live. So many things ran through my mind. I could feel heat but I didnt know what was going on. Was it Kaleb had she finally gotten me. Was I going to have to endure this torture until i die and not be able to do anything about. I felt a pain in my shoulder. I wanted to grab it but couldn't. I was stuck, in my own unconcious mind had I just listen to Tiberius. None of this would have happened.

Tirou didn't look so good, she was rather pale, her eyes and mouth were clenched shut. "What's going on?" She knew she was being carried, but by who or to where, was still a mystery. "I'm gonna get that bitch..."

The songstress had been enjoying her quiet time at the inn, a bottle of wine to herself.
All the loud and rowdy soldiers were out fighting, defending the perimeter of the town, and as usual, people assumed she was just a flower. Some helpless female that should just sit and not worry her pretty little head, because the big strong soldier-boys would save the day.

So she did, and actually enjoyed it a little...

Then the veil came. The townspeople learned it was protecting them, and the soldiers started to pull back.
The inn became full of noise, and just as she was about to take a drink, someone ran into the inn yelling

"The barrier's down! There's tons of monsters attacking the t-"
The ground shook. Red wine spilled down the front of her blouse.

"OHH that's it. What is going ON! I thought this was a quiet little place when I came here!"

The violet-haired bard marched out of the inn, toward the west side of town. She untucked her amulet from her wine-soaked shirt, looking rather furious at all of this.
She was going to find out what all the commotion was.

Tiberius ran through the alley, he had to get madical attention fror Tirou. Sure he could patch her up, but he needed supplies. He burst through a door off of the alley that led into a house. Luckily there was no one home. He set Tirou down on a bed and began rummaging through the cabnets. He soon found some brandy in a large bottle and some cloth. He washed out the burns with the brandy and gave Tirou a drink.

"Normally I wouldn't aprove of children drinking, but we've got to go and this will help the pain." He said as he tore the cloth and began to wrap he leg. He finished there and began to feel he side, discovering two cracked ribs. Bound her up and lifted the girl back up. Running out of the house, he heared the screems of people and the roar of monsters. He began to take off down the street, but ran into a violet haired girl, nearly knocking her over. "Sorry miss, I'm just trying to get out of here."

Tirou cringed "That brandy... is terrible... cheap crap..." She managed to force out a grin through all of this. "Watch where you're runnin' Tibby..." Tirou chuckled and opened an eye, "Any water nearby?"

She started to say something snide, then her eyes told her to think better of it.
"Go on, I will keep the way safe."
Pulling a bow from her back and stringing it, she took a good look at the elf she ran alongside.
He didn't look like part of the clan of elves her father came from, but that didn't make it certain he wouldn't realize who, or rather what, he had just ran into.
Maybe if she started things off on a good note, this elf wouldn't turn his nose up at her like most others.

"Just what I thought," Kaleb said, snickering to herself. She was running off toward the edge of town, where the massacred corpses of her animal army lay. It really was not that bad - she could always create more; plus, that snot-nosed earth wielder had not taken out the strongest members in the army - they were stationed farther away from the town.

"They need a lot more training to get to my level. Little emotional outbursts like that are not going to be enough to defeat me. Not now, not ever."

(How tall is your character? The girl with the violet hair.)
The girl he'd ran into said she would keep the way clear for them. He looked over at her and saw that she was very pretty, but not only that, she was an elf. He smiled a little at this realization.
"Wow, I would never have thought to meet another elf here!" He shouted over the commotion. He looked ahead to see scores of monsters ahead of them. Though he did not doubt the violet haired girls archery abillities, he knew there were to many. He raised one hand toward them and his sign glowed. A blast of wind rushed past them and hit the monsters, sending them rolling backward. "Hurry, we have to get to the west gate!"(

"Wha...." I awoke to find that I was lying on a pound of dirt. I had a gash on my left arm, I didnt realize until i tried to stand and when I moved my arm to support my body to sit up I quickly fell down. Leaning over on my right, I stood up and looked at my arm. Standing still looking at my wound, rip a strip of my pants cloth and wrap my arm with it. Looking around i tried to see if Kaleb was still around. "Well it seems she battered off." I looked for my sword, no sense in walking around unarmed. I picked it up and quickly dropped it, "I dont even have the strength to hold this."

Looking towards the direction Tiberius and Tirou ran. I started to run which lead to a slow jog. Which slowed down to a quick pace limp walk. I had no idea how bad i was really hurt. I had to get to Tiberius and Tirou. The next town was only a couple miles away from that direction then you enter a cave. After that cave its only a day's walk away.

After about five to ten minutes of running, I noticed I had saw a blast of air coming from down the road, I saw Tiberius and Tirou, and another figure. Who was this mystery person. Another survior no doubt, but it wont matter anyway.

"Tiberius!!!" I yelled out towards them. Still coming forward, I tripped and got back up. I picked up a stick to help me walk I walked with a more brisk pace towards them. Tiberius had turned around and Tirou raised her head to look at me, and a violet haired girl stared at me arkwardly. I saw her lean over to Tiberius, she said something my only guess would be that she said "Whos that guy?"

I need to find some water... I wonder... Do I still have my flask? She reached around her person, finally finding the flask. It felt about half empty, but it would be enough... She hoped. "Tibby... Put me down..." She looked up at him, the look on her face quite serious.

Tiberius obeyed Tirou's request and set her down, accepting the nick name she'd given him. He turned back to Clad who was limping up. Tiberius sighed and looked at Clad's cut.
"You two cannot keep out of harms way can you?" He looked back at the violet haired girl and motioned to the boy. "This is Clad." He looked down the street to see the monsters starting to get up. "People, we need to go."

Tirou pulled out her flask and poured some of the water into her hands. The water became much clearer, and almost seemed to sparkle. Tirou drank it all, the liquid seemed to seep into her body, the pain washed away. She poured some more into her hands, and poured it on her leg, the burns began to diminish and heal. "Heh..." She hopped up on her feet, feeling brand new. "Go? Why go? We've got plenty of monsters here for fodder." She grinned and looked around, realizing just how many monsters there were, "Well... I guess we should go... But maybe after a little fun, don't wanna disappoint our lovely guests!" She gestured to all the not-so-happy monsters.

The violet-haired songstress winced as Tiberious voiced his amazement at thier being another elf around. Boy, was he going to be dissapointed..

A sharp *twang* sounded from her bow, and an arrow thudded into the forehead of one of the awakening monsters.

"I agree with him." The still-nameless girl nodded to Tiberious, then started away from town at a hurried pace.
If they didn't move, she was going to leave them behind.

Tiberius shrugged to the violet haired girl and motioned for her to follow. Running down to the street corner he saw that the west gate was not far. However, a great number of monsters stood in the way. He looked around and saw a well not far off. "Tirou, I can't handle them all! But there's a well over there, You think you could take out a few with that water?!"

Tirou looked over to the well, taking a deep breath, "I'll try..." She moved over to the well, "Lessee here..." She began to concentrate, a glob of water floated up, she smiled. "Ok... Easy enough... Let's try this..." The water froze in a jagged shape. "And now..." She looked up at one of the monsters and grabbed the jagged ice, and threw it, just like the throwing knives from earlier. The piece hit one of the monsters square in the head, "I wonder..." She concentrated again for a bit, and the piece shattered. "Haha! Now lets speed it up." She repeated the process, increasing her speed each time. "This is fun and all... But let's get movin' soon, yeah?" The whole process was a lot more tiring than she thought it would be, but she was enjoying it thoroughly. Watching the monsters fall as the pieces of ice shattered inside of them, the grin on her face grew. The ice didn't feel cold when she held it, it felt natural, an extension of her will. She noted one of the monsters she had missed getting closer. Hehehe... Why not. She got her whole arm wet and froze it over, extending the ice into claws. She left the well and sprinted over, something else took over her, she drew moisture from the air, and ever from her own body, forming another piece of jagged ice, she threw it into the beast's leg, and shattered it. As she approached, the beast lunged at her with an arm, she dodged it easily and effortlessly. Tirou jumed up, straight at the beasts head, she drove the claws into it's neck, she pulled the claws out, and pushed them right back in. The blood began to seep over her forearm as she continued to stab into the monster. She finally pulled away and walked back to the group, grinning wickedly. "Ok... I'm ready to go now."

Tiberius was speechless, that girl was.... violent, to say the least. He took off running and soon reached the gate, but Clad was no where to be found.

-Where is that boy?!- He thought frantically. Summoning up his power, he lifted himself into the sky on a pillar of air. Looking over the city he tried to find Clad. -I hope he's alright.-

I had decided to run threw the back alleys of the town, I mean as hurt as I was I couldnt hold my own against any monsters. After going down at least two alleys, I came across an intersection down a huge road. I felt a huge gust of air flow past me. I looked up to see, Tiberius in the sky. He looked down to find me. If it wasn't for the stick I was using to lean on I would have been blown over. When our eyes meet, I looked up and yelled, "I'll meet you at the west gate, find me there and I'll lead you away from here. After annoucing that, I ducked back in behind a back alley. We really had to get out of here, So i pray they hurry too.

Tiberius floated back to the ground and shouted to the others.

"Alright, Clad is almost here, we need to hold this area!" He turned and saw several monsters comming through the gate. His signs began to glow. "Oh, you picked the wrong day!" He shot a blast of air and knocked a couple monsters against the wall.
