Friends and Foes

Gra'akast

Voah ran through dark and narrow alleyways, under arches and corridors of the abandoned part of the city. She still didn't know how the Dark Robe had found her but that was a concern for another time.

A long drawn out duel would only benefit him, people or guards were bound to come following the sound of clashing steel, and if they did despite their obvious mistrust she had witnessed his kind could elect, her disguise would not hold against deeper scrutiny.

No, better try and run and live to fight another day. She was not about to through away her life for having stolen a map. Although the man hunting her down proved she was right and it was as important as she had assumed.

She could not hear any footsteps behind her and prayed that she had lost him.
~Foolish woman.~ she thought at the notion that her prayers would likely go unanswered now she had turned away from her past life.

The former Arbiter turned a corner and ran into a scene she was not expecting to witness this night of all nights.

A bright blue-blueish flash flared the darkeness of the narrow street. Time seemed to stop as she saw a man be hit by two blasts of power and thrown in the air. Her teeth itched liked they usually did in the present of magik and the Maleficium. The heckles in her neck rose.

She saw a woman bathed in a strange blue mist walked to the man lifting her dagger. She immediately reminded her of Evanora Frost.

A life time of instinct took over and Voah Sahnsuur rose her holy blade and charged at Shalia Nix.
