Although the expression on the Captain's face had for a moment been one of sympathy as she heard about Rae'liel's loss, however subtle; Serphia's face soon turned into a more serious expression as her eyes shifted back and forth between the large, new crater that had carved out a big chunk of the castle and the very reef itself, and back to the Blood Elf in her arms.

"You WHAT?" Serphia suddenly exclaimed as she looked down at the Blood Elf.
"You could have blown us to pieces! There was no way for you to know,-"

"Who's there?!"

Suddenly sounded the voice of one a chevalier as a patrol of two White Hand mercenaries had been just passing under the archway. One of them had apparently heard the beginning of Serphia's rant, and was looking towards the corner in which the trio were hiding.

Serphia bit her tongue, her eyes glaring out to her side as she spoke softly to Rae'liel.

"We will speak of this later... " She said with a foreboding tone, before the Captain would rise to her feet and rush out from her hiding. The chevaliers reached for their swords when they saw Serphia suddenly emerge from the shadows, but couldn't draw them in time before Serphia had already ran right into the first one! The eight feet tall Night Elf, carrying Rae'liel in her arms, easily ran right over the chevalier who tumbled back and fell into the pavement. The second one drew his sword, but by the time he could swing it, Serphia had already dashed ten feet ahead and was sprinting away!

"Alarm! Alarm! I found the intruder!" Shouted the chevalier, but soon lost track of Serphia as the agile Night Elf dashed around a corner and up a set of stairs leading to the walls surrounding the castle.

Seconds passed as Serphia stormed across the battlements. Voices could be heard below, but no White Hand mercenaries could be seen. That was at least until the sound of musket fire filled the air as bullets whizzed past Serphia and Rae'liel as the former sprinted along the walls. Out of the guard tower ahead, a chevalier emerged wielding a halberd. Spotting the incoming pair of elves, he rushed forward to meet them. But as he swung it to strike at Serphia, the Captain jumped to the side and atop the merlons, balancing between the wall and the steep drop below. The halberd swing missed, and before the chevalier could swing again, Serphia had already passed him and jumped back on the wall behind him as she continued running!

It was not until she reached the south eastern end of the castle that Serphia rushed towards the edge of the wall, where one could gaze out across a gorgeous view of the harbor and the canal separating the reef from the mainland, and more importantly; an extreme drop straight down!

Without hesitation, or listening to any warnings, complaints or objections from either Rae'liel or Sharon, who could only sense what she was about to do; Serphia dashed forward, jumped onto the merlons, and jumped straight off the wall of Honor's Watch, leaving solid ground behind in favor of a drop more than two hundred feet straight down.

"You said you had a spell in case I fell." Serphia yelled to Sharon who was holding on to her cowl, as the trio began to fall at a steadily increasing velocity down to the smaller reefs and canals below.
"I hope you weren't lying, or by the goddess I swear, I'll kill you before we hit the rocks!"

Rithrynn had no sooner gotten a glimpse of Sherpa as he stood in the hallway, pointing his Runeblade at the group, before Liaena had promptly decided to blow up the entire corridor!

As rocks and dust flew in every direction, Rithrynn was left coughing in the thick cloud of dust that now filled the corridor. By the time she could see anything, there was nothing but a heavy wall of rubble ahead of her where Sherpa had once stood.

"Elune!" Rithrynn emitted with a shock and covered her mouth in dread with her hands, though quickly changed her tone when she realized that others were listening.

"Look! Look! Look what I found!" Sounded the cheerful voice of Aleena, as through the dust, the Sentinel could be seen holding up the Death Knight's runeblade triumphantly in the air over her.
"I killed a Death Knight! I killed a Death Knight!"

"Well congratulations... " Rithrynn muttered as a reply to the celebrating Aleena, who had wasted no time in taking all the credit for the kill. The tales of Alissah's dart or Rithrynn's help had apparently long since been forgotten.

"And no one take his head; it's mine!"

Aleena warned as she picked up the Death Knight's head that had fallen out of his helmet, which she began to strap to her belt as a savage trophy. This was all of no consequence to Rithrynn however, as the Sentinel's attention had long turned to Liaena and her peers that were standing closest to the rubble.

"Li, are you alright?"

Rithrynn asked as she neared the group. Despite looking a little disoriented, Liaena seemed to be in one piece, standing next to Kathlin, Liam and a floating Alissah. The Night Elf cast a quick glance at Alissah, remembering how little she actually knew about the human female. In fact, Rithrynn couldn't even remember her name, but the fact that she now laid wounded made her feel a little bit guilty for forgetting it!

"Li, we need to,-" Rithrynn said as she approached Liaena, but just as her eyes fell on the girl, she also noticed something behind her. A pair of ghostly arms were approaching Liaena from behind, carrying a set of scalpels, both aimed at Liaena's unsuspecting neck.

"GET DOWN!"

Rithrynn shouted, stabbing a hand forth to push Liaena down just as a set of scalpels sliced above her head in a scissor-like movement. Not taking a second to even contemplate the near-death-experience of her friend, Rithrynn had already taken her arms around Liaena as she pulled in the human with all her strength to release her from her own gunk that was tying her to the floor.

The process of releasing the human from the gunk was anything but pleasant to the girl, and probably not much more for Bella who was squeezed into Liaena's chest by the Night Elf's arms. A series of cracks could be heard coming from Liaena's skeleton as her feet were torn out of the gunk, a process in which Liaena also grew by a couple of inches in height as well!

"Ghosts! Ghosts! Move it!"

Rithrynn screamed as she succeeded in pulling Liaena out of her own self-made gunk, and no later began sprinting down the corridor in the opposite direction of the incoming specters, leaving Kathlin and Liam in the dust behind! Aleena had no sooner seen Rithrynn storm past her with the gunk-covered human in her arms, before the sentinel also followed suit, carrying her saber in one hand, scavenged Runeblade in her other and with the Death Knight's head hanging from her hips!

"Wait for me!"

The rest of the Night Elves were already ahead, and soon found Rithrynn rapidly catching up with them at an alarming pace!

ALSO: will Li steal Rae'liel's credit for destroying half of Sherpa's evul castle?!

Serphia raised a brow at the suicidal Blood Elf, studying her grime covered face with her silver eyes. But soon a grin formed around the Captain's mouth, meeting that of Rae'liel's own.

"That would have been too easy." Serphia answered as she reached down to pick up the tiny High Elf next to her, before placing him on her shoulder and reaching out towards Rae'liel.
"Besides, the one providing us with free food and drinks asked you be saved. I wouldn't want to do anything to sabotage our good arrangement."

Serphia explained as she motioned with her head towards the tiny High Elf, Sharon, who was now standing on her shoulder. Reaching out for Rae'liel, the Night Elf would pick the smaller Blood Elf up and hold her in her arms before standing back up on her feet.

"You can get a new set once we get out of here." Serphia mentioned as she looked at the remnants of Rae'liel's armor that lay on the ground.
"Right now we need to get out of here alive first!"

And with that, the Night Elven Captain, with Sharon on her shoulder and Rae'liel in her arms, continued her sprint up through the numerous and maze like set of corridors and hallways of the reef. She had little clear idea where she was actually going, which lead her to take some awkward decisions into dead ends and decorative rooms that forced her to turn back.

Finally however, she reached a familiar corridor; the one leading up to the spiral staircase to the barracks that they had used to enter the reef. But as she approached the stair room, she suddenly heard the clattering of feet as a small squad of White Hand mercenaries were heading down towards them. Without a second of hesitation, she swung into a corner behind a small statue. The chevaliers passed her, none of them turning to look behind to see the Captain. They were apparently in a hurry, perhaps to join the battle at the ritual chamber.

Waiting for them to turn a corner and disappear, Serphia emerged from the shadows of the statue to run up the stairs, passing through the barrack which was empty and out onto the battlements outside.

Perhaps the first thing she noticed as she passed out onto the battlements of the fort was a distinct smell of burning wood and scorched metal, and a couple of large, dark clouds rising from fires across the fort. A number of the battlements, towers and bastions also carried deep scars, with chunks of rocks having been blown away or collapsed in certain places. The entire castle did indeed look noticeably much worse for wear than it had done previously.

Serphia noted the devastation as she ran in the shadows of the battlements, passing through the smoke of remaining fires to stay concealed and dodging the occasional White Hand mercenary or castle steward that ran around in the courtyard and on the battlements.

"It almost looks like the Fourth Great War just started right here." Serphia commented while crouched in the corner of a hallway as she waited for two white hand mercenaries to pass her, as she glanced at one of the towers; part of which was charred black.
"It wouldn't surprise me if this was the work of that midget Rithrynn keeps dragging around."

As her blade gained a red tint in the fires of Sharon's magic, Serphia would lift the blade back up and hold it up to her face to inspect the now glowing red blade. The heat that now filled the blade radiated through the air to the point she could already feel her skin becoming warm as she merely held it close.

"This will do." She concluded after inspecting the blade, before turning to look to Rae'liel.
"Now be a nice girl and sit still!"

Serphia said, before the Night Elf reaffirmed her grip around Rae'liel's mouth with such strength that her head was effectively pinned back against the wall.

Without a shed of remorse, Serphia brought the searing hot blade down to Rae'liels abdomen where the gashing wound still played host to a stream of blood. But as the super hot metal of the blade came in contact with the blood, a loud hissing sound could be heard as an excruciating pain shot through the Blood Elf's body. Though whatever the Blood Elf's instincts may have urged her to do, she still found herself unable to move her head as Serphia still held it pinned to the uncomfortable stone wall behind her!

The torment continued on for an agonizing ten seconds as Serphia prodded around on her wound with her glowing hot blade, during which Rae'liel produced at least a dozen of different facial expressions! Finally, Serphia released the Blood Elf's head as she retreated her blade back.

The bleeding had stopped, as Rae'liel's wound had been seared shut. Resting the searing hot tip of her sword against the floor next to her, Serphia sat on her kness in front of Rae'liel as the Night Elven Captain gazed down at the Blood Elf with a curious gaze.

"Feeling better?" She asked with a smile, not looking sorry in the slightest for her recent medical procedure. If anything, possibly even proud!

Serphia will now give a demonstration of the efficiency of brute medicine ^_^

" ... I would at least have expected a ´thank you´, let alone ´my hero!´or something like that." Serphia commented between her breath as the Night Elf raced through the numerous corridors and hallways that littered the belly of the reef below the castle. The Night Elf ran with long strides, covering a large amount of ground with each step!

"Typical Blood Elves!"

...

However, after having sprinted for almost almost an entire kilometer through the ascending corridors and stairs, the Captain became suspicious of the lack of noise or complaints coming from either Rae´liel or Sharon!

Finally, in a more darkened hallways, Serphia would slow down to a walk. Although she was in top physical shape, the constant interval running up through the ascending corridors had made her start to pant a little.

"What´s going on with... oh." Serphia asked as she turned her head around to look at Rae´liel, before she realized that the wet and warm sensation she had felt all the way from her arm was in fact due to a stream of bright red crimson blood that ran all the way down from her shoulderplate and down along her arm and to her side. The Blood Elf was bleeding like a stuck pig!

"That´s... a problem."

Although Serphia knew little about Blood Elf anatomy or biology, she knew that as a general rule, all living things could only lose a certain amount of blood before passing out - permanently.

Looking in every direction to make sure that they weren´t being followed, or that there were no more White Hand mercenaries coming in their direction, Serphia would lift Rae´liel off her shoulder. In that process, she also found the missing High Elf, Sharon, now plastered to Rae´liel´s armor and clothes around her belly area.

"So that´s where you went." Serphia said with an almost a-hah expression as she noticed Sharon, the tiny High Elf now literally drenched in Rae´liel´s blood. It was a rather macabre sight, or at least could be considered to be. Though it seemed more or less to simply amuse Serphia, who was no stranger to blood.,
Turning around after unplastering the disheveled High ELf from Rae´liel, she placed Rae´liel along the wall in a sitting position. Finding a dagger, the Captain went down on her knees next to the Blood Elf and quickly went through the buckles and leather strips holding the Blood Elf´s armor together, cutting them apart before she started to tear off her plates and ripping the padded clothing beneath apart until she found the bleeding wound in the Blood Elf´s upper abdomen and lower chest.

"She definitely took a hit!"

"Fire, I´ll need fire... " Serphia muttered to herself, before she looked to Sharon whom she had placed on the floor next to her.

Putting her dagger back into her belt around her hips and unsheathing one of her large, curved swords instead; she held the side of the metal blade down towards Sharon who was standing on the ground.

"Heat it up, High Elf. I need to close her wound before we lose your fel addict!" Serphia instructed Sharon as she motioned towards her blade.

While waiting for the tiny mage´s response, Serphia would move the palm of her hand over Rae´liel´s mouth, realising that the pain her planned medical procedure would produce would probably produce a painful scream as well!

"You will thank me for this later!"
