Rithrynn barely had time to interpret the sudden look of surprise and wide eyes on the face of the tiny High Elf in her hand as a bad sign - before the fake Silje-Serphia just flew in from nowhere to crash land right onto Rithrynn!
*CRASH*
“Noo! Stay away from me, I’M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I DID NOT MEAN TO STEAL YOUR WARBAND! YOU CAN HAVE IT BACK!”
"Ow-ow-ow.... " Rithrynn groaned in misery as she lay face first down against the carpet at the bottom of the stairs, only hearing Silje-Serphia's terrified voice as the frightened girl retreated up the stairs with all due haste! Despite being a fake, Silje-Serphia had proved that she weighed just as much as the real Serphia!
"Rii, come on, you gotta wake up!" Sounded the familiar voice of Vashi as the Night Elven Magi approached Rithrynn from behind, gracefully avoiding the all-out brawl that had since consumed the atrium through employing a variety of slow-fall spells coupled with jumping maneuvers, timed dodges, teleports, and general luck.
Hoisting Rithrynn up by the back of her belt, Rithrynn ended up on her arms and knees instead, only to finally stagger back onto her feet after some time.
"I... there was, a meteor. In the house? Whaaa?" Rithrynn mumbled, still disoriented as she gazed up to the roof to see where the meteor that had just hit her had come from, but alas, there were no burning meteor holes in the roof.
" ... what juz"
"Ri! We have to help mistress, she's going after the fake imposter!" Vashi would shout, shaking Rithrynn and causing the elf to wake up somewhat! Rithrynn's silver eyes eventually went from being entirely confused to 'I-think-I-know-the-difference-between-up-and-down', and she looked back at the Magi.
"Oh, right! She chased after the fake! Let's,-"
"Who's that?"
Rithrynn had been about to try to rush past Vashi, having already grabbed Kathlin, when the Magi suddenly pointed at a tiny piece of regal looking blue cloth that poked out from deep down in Rithrynn's cleavage. Pausing, Rithrynn looked down, momentarily confused, before realizing.
"Oh, right!"
*Pop*
"Sorry, Shaw!" Rithrynn said as she pulled the disheveled High Elven Mage out from his entrapment, and instead placed him back onto her shoulder and turned to look back at Vashi.
"We have to go, our sisters can handle themselves down here!" Rithrynn then said, offering a quick glance behind at the giant brawl that was taking place behind them, which was like a sea of purple bodies falling or flying in every direction! It was at that point almost impossible to tell the difference between the fake Night Elves and their real counterparts without asking them, but something told Rithrynn that the fake ones had lost pretty much any hope for victory by then. It would not surprise her if most of them had already been defeated, and the rest of her sisters were simply continuing the brawl against each other!
"Yeah, everything looks normal down here... "

*KROOSH*
The doors to Sharon's study would suddenly be slammed open with such violent force that one of the ornate wooden doors would fall completely off its hinges!
Appearing from behind it would be none other than Captain Serphia, slowly lowering her leg as she glared into the study with her silver eyes that glowed through the raised dust that filled the air! Scanning the room, she immediately spotted the large person of fake Silje-Serphia as she huddled in terror behind a large Draenei who wore the armor of the White Hand, holding none other than the midget Liaena in a tight grip.
Another pair of hurried footsteps could be heard from the corridor as both Vashi, Kathlin and Rithrynn came sprinting into view in the entrance to the study, appearing at each of Serphia's side, with Sharon sitting on Rithrynn's shoulder.
"Wait, Li... you're here?" Rithrynn would suddenly exclaim when she saw Liaena being held by the Draenei, squinting at the black haired human girl with her eyes. At first she seemed surprised, but then, almost annoyed.
"I can't believe it, Li! How could you get kidnapped AGAIN?! This is like the third time in a month, at least! I mean, by the goddess!"
"I will not fault her for playing the role of the bait. She has done that admirably!" Serphia simply muttered as she stepped into the room, her eyes focusing on Malizia and Silje-Serphia.
"For the prey has taken the bait."
Suddenly stopping mid step while cracking her fists, the Captain would look directly down at the tiny High Elven Magi, Valion, who now stood at her feet, simply gazing up at the large Night Elven Captain who from his perspective must have looked like a titan. Noticing this new intruder, Serphia grinned.
" ... and it seems they even brought a small appetizer."
