Re: Dreams of War (SilentSilth, sturm, and Tsuki)
The Kitsune's ears popped up as she heard a crunch coming from the direction of the orc, stopped in mid-sentence. She looks up, her blue eyes wide with horror as the knight's armor and ribs pressed inwards on his body. She took a few nervous steps towards him, jumping back as the second bolt strikes his chest, a yelp escaping her lips at the wet sound of his body crushing itself. She watched, hopelessly, as whatever vestige she had of not being torn dribbled away with the blood of the knight.
Looking over the surging attack force, and the destroyed walls, the absolute carnage, the Kitsune couldn't help but feel completely hollow; this all happened because of her - her failure and inability to lead. The people who had become slaves - or worse - were now in their current predicament because of her inactions. Surveying the carnage, and the loss of a battlemage who only wanted to help, Kiera couldn't help but make this decision on sheer selfishness:
"We need to run," She says, quietly. Ripping her eyes away from the scene, she looks down at Linara and Alhora, calling out as she starts towards the burning forest, "We need to go before we end up like the others. Follow me!" She'd only stay if the two refused to leave - but not for long. Waiting for the orcs to get them seemed... Not intelligent.

Run and shit, towards the forest.
