Shadow sat in silence for a little while after she had told him about what they did. his face slowly turned from the calm that he normally had to one of anger. his breathing became more ragged and then it returned to normal as he calmed himself back down. he stood up and then said " lets get out of here. we need to go and get some supplies before we leave. the group left but they didn't take everything with them. i know a way that we can get there with out being seen." as he finished talking he heard the sound he had hoped not to hear for a while. the sound of armored men coming up the stairs. his eyes flicked to Aery and he made up his mind. he helped her to her feet and then lightly pushed her towards the window. " jump out and aim for the ladder. its about 10 feet from the window. i will be right behind you. i didn't think they would get here this fast." he flicked his wrist and two daggers showed up in his hands. he backed up so that when she was out the window he could follow her. " when you reach the ground turn left and run down that ally." a guard's head showed at the top of the stairs. Shadow flicked his wrist and launched his dagger at the mans head. it hit him in-between the eyes and the man fell back down the stairs and took several others with him. shadow would buy them time for as long as he had to. but even here he would be overtaken in about 3 minutes.
