It was silent at first. The individual Velelu would kill an unaware soldier, then groups would be attacked and soon the entire coalition encampment was in the midst of a bloody battle for survival. Ashaad had been on his way to the blacksmith to have his weapons repaired but was ambushed by a lone Velelu. The creature knocked his off balance but Ashaad quickly got back on his feet. His blades were dulled but their tips were still sharp, as the Velelu readied itself to attack again Ashaad held his blade up to his chest with the tip facing his enemy. There was a moment of silence though despite being for only a moment felt like minutes as Ashaad's senses heightened due to the massive amounts of adrenaline in him. The Velelu charged the sandman and he did the same. Just when he was within striking distance of the creature Ashaad fell to his knees and slid under the Velelu. Before he passed under Ashaad stabbed the creature just below the sternum and as he slid his shamshir sliced open the Velelu's torso allowing blood, guts, and the pieces of its previous victims to come gushing out. With the Velelu slain, Ashaad thought quickly of his next course of action. There was no point in securing the limits of the encampment as the enemy had already overrun their position. All he could do now was to try and save as many men as he could while taking out as any Velelu along the way. [color=fff200][i]"They would rally to the center of camp, I should aid those I find along the way. Once I'm at the rendezvous point we can try to push these abominations back"[/i][/color], with a plan now in his head the nomad made his way through the camp, enroute to the camp center he found a few, five in total, coalition soldiers who were in need of assistance. After putting down what Velelu they were engaged in the men followed Ashaad towards the rendezvous point. On the way their Ashaad saw a strange sight, a woman who looked relatively familiar. He wasn't entirely sure who it was but in the fraction of a second Ashaad felt as if his past had come back to haunt him. Hopefully it was just another one of his flashbacks, and with that Ashaad continued on with his troops.
