[@Delta44]:Spencer did finally manage to break away free and run away into the dark streets, devoid of people at this hour. She'd run for a while without realizing where she was or how much time had passed since she escaped the priest's hold.

 Finally she'd be torn away from her panicked state and stopped in her tracks, when she found herself bumping into a rather warm embrace of someone. She could feel long soft silvery hair gently caress her face.

 “Are you alright, child? What are you running away from?” A melodic voice ran in her ears as she'd finally see who had stopped her. It was a very young woman, probably around her early twenties. She wore leather armor or some sort and on her back could be seen a pair of long elegantly curved swords made out of black metal. Clearly not from the city guard, church or any organization the vampire would have seen in the past.

[@ONL][@Sam12435]: The captain of the guard raised an eyebrow when Vamon introduced himself, almost as if she knew him. The woman said nothing, but nodded with some respect before smiling and nodding at Guthrie too. Nevan appeared quite pleased by the two men as her expression softened somewhat. The guards then spread around, starting to gather all the torn flesh from the man, before two other guards returned with what appeared to be a coffin of some sorts.

 [color=c4df9b]“We are...” [/color]The twins started presenting themselves also to the captain, before the woman waved her hand to stop them. The witches were left speechless mid sentence as the guard ordered her men to scatter and search for traces of the beast.

[color=f7941d] “I know who you two are... You have my thanks, Sala and Vala Falere, and you also have my apologies. Because I too was part of the royal guards of Belizarius, but sadly your situation happened before my time. For what it's worth, I'm sorry for how you two were treated. I can only promise that things will change soon and cases like yours won't happen again.”[/color] The guard captain said, bowing her head to the witches who were still left speechless, but their hands were trembling quite strong.

 Sala and Vala didn't know how to reply to the woman in front of them. They had heard of her, the black sheep of the Belizarius Royal guards as she was called, a traitor, heretic and many other names. They didn't blame her, but her words did affect them, making them remember the past, but the strange meaning of the second part also didn't elude them.[color=c4df9b]” Won't happen again... you promise?”[/color] They asked in confusion. Such words could only be taken as declaration of war towards the church!

 She didn't reply to the twins, but instead turned to the two men[color=f7941d].” Yes... indeed these beasts require magic to be made... forced into existence. Arcane... or 'holy' one works fine. This is the fifth one that has showed up in the last month. 2 attacked me on the streets a while back, one tried to kill me in my sleep and one while I was taking a bath.”[/color] The guard captain replied with angry expression.[color=f7941d]” This is the first time they attack civilians...”[/color] She stated, throwing looks around, eyes narrowing before returning her gaze to Guthrie.[color=f7941d]” Yes... we've had priests show up, traveling merchants that don't usually pass by here, you all, also believe it or not we even had an Archbishop show up a while back. Officials from Belizarius and Astaras... Anyhow enough is enough... we waited for confirmation on the missing people, but no more. Every time some of these things show up, we get reports of simple travelers who vanished around Shezze... All of them have the same in common... the local priest went to 'guide them'...” [/color]

 [color=c4df9b]“You mean...”[/color] The witches asked in horror, moving behind Guthrie almost as if they were afraid of everything now.

 [color=f7941d]“Yes... if they want war, they will have it.”[/color] The captain stated and looked at the small group.[color=f7941d]” I suggest you all either head home or as far away as you possibly can from the union. The Church of Light has been doing whatever it pleases for too damn long...”[/color] She stated and called one of the guards.[color=f7941d]” Send messengers to Astaras and our friends from the Order of The Black Sun. Tell them all I agree with their conditions, I will join their forces.”[/color] She stated before turning back to the group.[color=fdc68a]” I can provide you all with some assistance out in the tunnels, I will give you all supplies you will need if you so chose. Won't ask you to join the upcoming war... you all do not deserve to be pulled into the madness.”[/color]
