"What interesting lives you guys have. They sound exciting." She was off to the side tapping her foot lightly and waiting for the results of the piece of armor. Unfortunately, it didn't do much good. But boredom hit once more and she stopped carelessly breaking the objects in the house. After Lesley started explaining a little on backstories, the pink haired person all of a sudden went into a fit of...rage? Frustration definitely. Ace raised an eyebrow as Lesley yelled at the mermaid. Inadi started to calm the pink one down, but then he too was upset. "Well, shifty or not, they've been helping us for quite some time. So, we can prosecute them later. Right now we have other things to worry about don't we?" 

She didn't have to push the two out of the way of the guides because everyone else was doing so, but she gestured towards the house. "We have other things to worry about now. Yell at them later." And things further continued to escalate- meaning Haku took a hit to the face by none other than Harper. "HA! Nice hit." She was sure that he had wanted to do that for quite some time. But still, things started escalating and now the guides were defending themselves. 

"What is wrong with you all, all of a sudden?" 
She whistled to get everyone's attention. Ace crossed her arms and looked at them. "I don't know what's gotten into you guys, but everyone just calm down! We have things to do before we go crazy...Everyone is tired and grumpy, but that doesn't mean start lashing out-" Ace didn't point fingers at anyone. Surprisingly, she was being pretty sensible too instead of getting angry. Suddenly the unicorn came crashing. She shielded herself from the flying debris before eyeing the limp form. "...at each other." She finished the sentence, only to be knocked backwards by some sudden force. Ace hit the bookshelf as well, only to cause dust and torn books to fall. 
She started coughing and waving away the dust, only to see the witch. Alive and seemingly perfect condition. "That old hag..." Why was she still alive? Ace rubbed her head when one of the books fell on her. She could only watch as Riley tried and failed to save Leila- only for Birdy to intervene. Ace sat up quickly, but noticed he moved. Good, he was still alive. But once again the witch faded away. The swordswoman caught sight of the talons first before she saw the witch. 

"W-Watch out!" But it was too late. She winced at the sounds of the swords impaling not Lesley, but Avian... Ace watched as the blood dripped from the dragon rider's body. For a moment, she did grow cold. The witch killed Avian... The hag could've easily killed her friends as well... The guides, they sacrificed themselves for them. Some random humans that they were told to watch over. All because the Queen told them to. The girl's fists clenched and she grabbed the nearest book by her side. As the witch tossed Avian aside, she hurled the book at her head while she was distracted. 

"Avian... He had a wife... And wanted a family." Ace stood up and her sword sparked to life. "This is what your [i]queen[/i] instructed you guides to do? [I]Die [/I] for complete strangers?? You guys have lives too! Families even, but you are being thrown through hell to keep us safe! And you see what that causes?" Ace kept her eyes on the witch as she continued. "And to think, we could ever be so ungrateful and to accuse you guys of anything. They've been nothing but loyal... and this is how it ends up.... With an old hag trying to get rid of us all. So, if you all are done with your petty arguing, as I said before we have other things to worry about. One being, to avenge the dragon rider." 

Ace didn't rush up to attack the witch. She knew that was complete insanity. There was no use dying with him, so they had to come up with some other ideas. And her first idea? Well, what harm could go to burning down the place. But she couldn't do that if the witch was blocking them from their destination. [I]'If we can't go forward, how about going backwards... If I can't burn the building down, we should at least break the back wall to get out. That means we need some way to slow the hag down... [/I] She couldn't voice her opinions out loud, so she decided to just act on them. Ace's sword disappeared and she moved towards the bookshelf. "Out of the way." Ace waited till they moved in order to grab the sides and pull it forward. Unfortunately, it wasn't large enough to flatten the witch, but when it fell it did come close to hitting her. "Knock down the back wall!" She pointed out as the shelf collided with the ground. In every escape, Ace learned to always find more than one exit. And if you could find only one, you had to make an exit. That was the plan at the moment. She was making it up as she went, after all, planning wasn't her best.
