After escaping the main gate, the girls vanished into the distance. Selene risked one last look as she noticed the fox woman Aiko joining Elara, they stood alone against the tide. She met Selene's eyes across the carnage, winked, and leapt into the fray, using her eastern magic to kill the school guards.
They all noticed the two women became mist and fury, a storm of magic, claws and steel that swallowed the pursuit whole. The last thing they saw was Elara's silhouette, swords high, enemies breaking against her like waves on obsidian, before the mist closed and she was gone.
Drakenwood fell silent behind them, save for the distant clash of a lone warrior holding the gate of hell itself. The group was resting in a secluded clearing just outside Willowbank Village, catching thier breaths. Sasha and Mirella had joined them on their escape, the purple eyed twin sat up.
