"Actually we're raised to think of all non-Rayans as tyrannical. bloodthirsty barbarians hell bent on gathering nothing but wealth at the expense of all that's lovely in this world, but close enough," Alulim couldn't help but correct the masked fellow. "Furthermore, a basic principle of Auranium teaching is an animal is most dangerous when cornered, like this situation here. That last one was probably a walking corpse or a failure to the family- expendable, from here they'll do 1 of two things, wear us down with walking dead or send in an elite strike team,which I guarantee you haven't faced before. They're only sent in when failure is not an option, such a mission hasn't happened in over a decade."

He shrugged,"If we're REALLY unlucky then we'll have to deal with both. I'm dead to them so if I either death awaits me or if I have enough time to talk I can play a hero to them. In exchange I will become known and my family will hunt everyone here until the end of time if that's what it takes to wipe out your bloodlines."

He had to voice one matter that really bugged him though,"You in the mask, Charrusi? This has bugged me for a while but why do you use the wind to speak for you through the mask, are you unable to talk anymore?"

He really didn't like the situation, 2 people who are wanted dead and himself. At this rate they might wind up with 2 elite strike teams on their trails, maybe more. At best they had 15 minutes before the real events began.

"At any rate we have less than 15 minutes to get out of here, if they're using undead then the entire city is in danger. If we can sneak into the stables, I can hide us all, and if someone else is willing to channel the magic for me I can make an illusion of to ride out as if to run away. Then we ride out on horseback while they follow the dummies and we'll have a head start."
