Mana nodded and took off running. Zhara gasped as she held her wound and said “it’s nothing a cleaning and rewrapping won’t fix…I can handle it…I don’t want to look weak…not after all I did to prove myself…not after everything I did to get here…” she glared at the shadow and said “stop helping him, Shadow…I can handle this…” the shadow moved like it was shaking its head and moved up and undid her cloak. It fell to show cuts all over her and an arrow wound in her shoulder. She had been a battle not days before. She cursed and moved to pick up her cloak. “Please ignore this…I can handle this…”

Mana came back and said “they are on their way…what happened to her? Should we go help the pharaoh?”

Duke limped out of the room as yugi said “we almost lost everyone…” Tristen said “yugi…we almost lost you”
