Jin didn't stir as Korlash picked her up, and was soothed by the ride on wolfback. She didn't start waking until they made it to the gates, and Korlash's scream spurred her body into action without her mind being fully conscious. She dropped off the wolf and into a low crouch, pulling her daggers out. Her mind didn't know what the danger was, until she saw Korlash in the midst of a battle. Were they never going to have any peace?

She didn't have time to think about that now. The guards were fleeing back to the city, and Korlash was fighting alone. She darted forward, and instead of engaging directly in battle, she sped past close to one of Korlash's attackers. She called a touch of wind to speed her steps, and slashed the back of the enemy knight's knee, right at the tendon. A spray of blood told her that her strike had hit home, as the enemy started screaming in pain. His leg buckled, unable to withstand his own weight.

Jin knew she couldn't stop. She made a wide circle and picked up momentum, before striking the next guard high. She sliced a high speed gouge into the side of his neck. Not enough to kill, not from the side, but it would be painful, distracting, and would slow him down with blood loss.

She didn't wait for Korlash to yell at her. Instead she moved away from his fight. There was a woman in a dress on the ground, which confused her. The dress wasn't like the elf women's dresses. "...are you hurt?" She could smell blood on the woman.

"Please... help me." The woman said, her head lowered. "Please help." She reached up and gripped Jin's arm with surprising force, enough to make the girl stagger. 

Jin put away her daggers and started to help the woman from the ground. "Yes. I will help. What is your name?"

"My name..." She smiled, and Jin didn't see the predatory look in her eyes. "Is Alice."
