Hehe. -- Anthony ================================================================ Electric jolts of pain flashed up and down Kelanen's sword arm. Thin rivulets of blackening red blood crusted his forearm down to his wrist. Wincing he thought, I need to try a healing spell before the coldfire's taint spreads any further. His weak knees wobbled unsteadily as he lurched towards a wood paneled wall be- longing to a bread baker's storefront. He leaned against an un- lit window, his ragged breath leaving frosty shadows of moisture on the glass pane. Lines of concentration wrinkled his brow as he worked a healing spell that purged his body of demon taint and knitted up sword torn flesh. Slumping, he sighed, I'll have to trust the newcomers to finish off the Dread. Kelanen glanced back up at the embattled Dread. There were only two left now. A beam of focused light had struck down like lightning from the heavens to annihilate the third. Looking up, Kelanen saw that the energy burst had come from an upper story window at the wayfarers' inn across the plaza. The door to the same inn banged open revealing a diminuitive fe- male figure wielding two wicked long bladed daggers. Using his magesight, Kelanen glimpsed glittering patterns of mystic energy like half formed runes surrounding the female in an aura of fire. "Ahhh...more reinforcements I hope," Kelanen murmured to the night air. A haze of exhaustion and strain clouded his vision making it hard for him to keep his ocean blue eyes steady. ================================================================ -- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Anthony Ignacio :: Old Dominion University :: :: ignacio@cs.odu.edu :: Norfolk, Virginia, USA :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
