Nanashi xx/xx
She was winded. She had taken a few scrapes but it was nothing. She did not even feel the cuts. They looked worse than they felt. However, this was the most challenging fight she'd ever been involved in. First, it had been the voices, the question as to whether her Master were here, and if Echo was helping or tricking her. There was the invisible assailant with the poisoned blade, the bodyguard of Silverfall with the Silver tipped rod, and the threat of shadow magic being used against her. Larry Silverfall has full control of his shadow magic again or somehow he and the Master have merged back together and they are now trying to get rid of her! She'd not go down without a fight, however. She was good...she knew this. She could win this battle, even if these fighters were magically enhanced in speed...
Dodge, duck, slide to the left, AHA! These foolish humans could not keep up with one such as her very long, even with the help of shadow magic! Even using the shadows, the invisible assailant is too slow for her might! She had not been able to land a blow on either of them yet, but they were human...they were already showing signs of weakening, weren't they?
But just then...another has come. Another to join in the fight...and the two humans are backing off? She transforms herself into her full tiger form, her true form, and prepares for this new arrival. No human nor even elf could stand against her. Even the Master had been human once. But why were they suddenly backing off? Had this been a trap within a trap to set her up? Was the real challenger yet to come? She began to worry who would demand such respect from the others...
Echo xx/xx
Echo had worked hard at containing all the sounds that were bouncing about the room, and suddenly, they were just not there. They had vanished and he was left alone in a quiet room. He sent out another distress signal to Andrion and Nanashi. He also had need to follow the intruders and so his incorpeal essence whisked away down the corridors, searching for the voices.
What he found was astonishing. At the top of the stairs, Nanashi battled for her life against two men, one of them playing about in the Shadows. Larry Silverfall was speaking in the voice of the Master, commanding the scene. The whole thing was amazing to behold, for never had the Echo seen humans keeping up with the speed of that Were-tigress, yet they were keeping pace seemingly tirelessly. Just then, something else was forming behind her, as though it were emerging from the very shadows like one of the Master's beasts. Echo tried to alert Nanashi to this presence by amplifying its oncoming sounds of motion.
He also continued to call for Andrion.
