Nadia couldn't beleive her ears. Was the little noble girl trying to save their lives? It puzzled her. What could be the reason for this? Nobles did not speak up for the lesser ranked citizens. THey were supposed to condemn them and take away their hard earned money. This one did neither. She was pleading on their behalf. She did not care if she was arrested. Nadia was not here at this place at this moment out of the kindness of her heart. She was there because she couldn't stand to see injustice, whether she was noble or commoner. But now, maybe she would not regret this as she thought she would. Maybe this strang young woman was worth saving.

The Rogue saw the plants take root and grow suddenly, knocking many guards out of their paths. A mage? And alchemist? No, it didn't concern her at the moment. She had watched the other larger man fight. It was intriguing to her. The man's arm should have been sliced in many places but it held firm. Amazing. What an honor to stand among such powerful, amazing people. And the Chevalier, was also and interesting person. A chevalier was usually a dog for the rotten nobles. But this oone stood firm, her eyes strong and honest. The eyes of a kind person. Nadia grinned ferally as she felt a surge of energy, her mage blood was finally kicking in after years of being locked up deep within her being. Whenever she had felt this power, she had shoved it back down, fearful of what would happen if it was unleashed. But now, she welcomed it. The magic consumed her, and she laughed loudly as the power grew out through her being.

"What is she doing? Get her immeidately!" THe Duke's booming voice cut through her exhilaration and a jet of fire leaped out from her hands, eagerly attaching itself to the armor of the soldiers that advanced on her.

"You've caused so much pain," Nadia's voice was quiet but clear and cold. "I think it's time you stopped,"

Her fiery eyes sought out the Chevalier's. "Go and take her to the village, The small town of Beetle, an hour north from here, Tell them The Rogue sent you and they will shelter you,"
