Lance finished eating another of the miners before the miner could be resurrected by Cia. Cia herself was having a bit of trouble just trying to keep up with Lance. "You need to slow down you know." Cia said taking a breath as she tried to keep up with Lance. Cia and Lance were eventually stopped from behind by what seemed to be elite Guardians. Cia signaled something to Lance who quickly grabbed a hold of Cia like she was a hostage. Once the elite guardians were able to see them all they saw was a hostage situation. "Don't come a step closer! Or I will kill her!" Lance threatened as he held a knife he had gotten from one of the miners against Cia's neck. Cia then started to act as the Damsel in distress, this was a ploy that they commonly used to lure an attacker in. Thanks to Cia not even looking like a necromancer she always looked like she could play the damsel.

One the elite guardians pulled out a bow however and shot Lance right in the shoulder making him drop the bow and fall backwards. "Are you ok ma'am?" One of the guardians asked as he brought Cia towards the other guardians. "I am now." Cia said with a smile as the ground beneath come rose up and kept their legs still. At this point Lance stood up again after taking the arrow out of his arm. He smiled as he ran at one of the Guardians. The others were attacked by the undead miners, and while they did take a few of the undead down with them they themselves were eventually brought down by the undead. Lance meanwhile tore one of the Guardians apart. "You need to learn that not everyone is what they seem you know." Cia said with a smile while winking at a Guardian as he was torn apart by Lance.

One of the guardians was able to escape though and quickly ran off towards Azai to go warn him.
