As Celina reaches the bottom of the stairs she turns around looking up at the dimly lit stairs and scoffs. "For as ominous as it looked it really was short," she turns back around a door in front of her. As she slowly opens the door she can hear the sounds of chattering voices. Within a second of her fully opening the door a lance flies towards her. Swiftly she shifts her back to the side dodging the lance.
"We've been caught! Prepare to defend ourselves!" a voice shouts in the direction the lance came from within a second a man runs towards Celina wielding an axe.
The sounds of rushing feet fill the room as the clattering of weapons follows. "Sounds like there are roughly fifty. Retreat or else I may have to intervene," the voice from within Celina speaks again giving her an order.
"Yeah right I'm gonna fall back," Celina quickly rushes towards the axe wielder carefully watching as he swings the axe. As he swings Celina catches his arm with one hand quickly ripping the axe from his hand. She throws the man against a wall throwing the axe down the hallway. The axe makes a loud thunk as it embeds itself into an emerging rebel, seconds later Celina swiftly unsheathes her sword cutting the man's head off as he hits the wall.
Two more rebels emerge from the corner jumping over the body of their comrade. Celina swiftly moves traversing the tight hallway noticing the branching paths. An arrow is fired at Celina as she knees one of the rebels directly in their abdomen. As the arrow flies it grazes Celina's cheek drawing a small amount of blood. "You won't survive this Celina," the voice from within Celina seems worried as Celina avoids a strike from a sword slipping down another hallway.
"Shut up," Celina dodges an arrow as she seemingly passes through a rebel leaving his body cut in two. "This is under control," as an axe is brought down towards Celina she deflects the strike yet it grazes her right arm. An arrow flies towards her. Without hesitation she catches it before jamming it into the rebel's neck causing him to drop his axe.
"It is forty-six versus one you are going to die," Celina disappears down another hallway slitting an unaware rebel's throat. "This will turn into a battle of attrition that you will lose," the voice grows louder. Celina grabs a dagger off a dead rebel as another arrow barely misses her as she appears and disappears into different hallways.
Another rebel falls dead and the remaining grow more fearful, visibly shaking. One of the rebels brings their sword to their throat. "What in the hell are you doing!?" one of the rebels sees him quickly grabbing the sword's handle and throwing it to the side. "There," the rebel points down a hallway. "Go to Tayan and warn that section of the rebellion that we've been caught."
The rebel nods still shaking as another rebel is killed in front of them. The rebel turns around running down the hallway. "They have an escape route Celina," the voice speaks again. "Give me control so I can make sure no one escapes."
Celina delivers a fierce punch to a rebel's gut before quickly jabbing the dagger into their throat. "If I give you control then you're gonna refuse to give it back till we see Godwine," Celina notices the rebel who ordered the one to run wearing significantly more pristine armor and wielding a guandao.
"Yeah and if you don't give me control they'll get out and warn their other rebels," the voice gets aggressive causing Celina to get distracted leading to her getting hit with an arrow to her left arm.
"Shit!" Celina shouts as she slyly goes down another hallway.
"Just let me have control Celina," Celina growls as she pulls the arrow from her arm and cherry blossoms form covering the wounds of her left side.
"Hell no," a smile forms on the right side of Celina's mouth as she quickly moves, stabbing two rebels.
The rebel in more pristine armor begins to walk looking down the hallways searching. "Retreat to Tayan and inform them that we must evacuate!" he shouts as he catches a glimpse of Celina followed by a rebel's corpse falling to the ground. Slowly the rebel closes his eyes and takes a slow deep breath. Celina sees him as she stabs an arrow into a rebel's eye. As the rebel exhales the air grows cold. Slowly ice forms covering the rebel's armor. Celina scoffs as she begins to run at the rebel. As she gets closer the air begins to return to a normal room temperature as slowly a smile forms on the rebels face.
"Shit! Celina quickly get out of his line of sight!" Cracking fills the room as Celina's left arm begins to cover with cherry blossoms behind her. Celina's eyes widen and she skids to slow down as she jumps into a hall. Ice is shot from the rebel in every direction at a speed that no one could react to. Dust fills the hallway as the ice impales the walls. Several chunks of ice lodge into Celina's legs before she gets her whole body into the hallway. She lands on the ground hard as dust fills the hallway. As Celina coughs the sound of the ice lodging into the walls ceilings and floor stops, yet the sound of clattering armor fills the hallway slowly getting farther away. Cherry blossoms begin to cover her left eye as her right leg bleeds from the lodged ice while her left is covered in cherry blossoms. Slowly her eyes close as she loses consciousness.
