[Damian]

Damian didn't get a chance to reply before Karn had bounded off, so he looked towards the three approaching mages he could sense. [color=FireBrick][i]At least A rank, and high A at that. I can probably handle it, buy Zero time to get to his...I don't know that I can say that. Guess it's a side effect of being raised by my birth parents. Right then, focus.[/i][/color] Talking over his shoulder, he faces the on coming mages. [color=FireBrick]"I'll buy you guys time from here. Keep the more powerful mages focused on me so you can reach this Hemlock."[/color]

Following suit in with Karn's abrupt departure, Damian takes off up the mountain, waiting until he was in range before slamming both swords into the ground and summoning a wave of rising swords. [color=FireBrick]"You will go no farther. This village is under the protection of Phoenix Wing. You cause anymore damage, and I'll repay it to you ten fold."[/color]
