AshamAshari Asham's long strides take the lead down the hallway which slowly forks to the right, leading the way, RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion follows just at his left, smiling the whole time. There is a tingling as both men draw their powers up in a steady manifestation. RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion's eyes shift from white pupils black eyes to the opposite as his power draws to him, his power feels like a coiled spring, not very powerful, but precise, he is in total control of it.

AshamAshari Asham's power is stronger than the other mans. The humidity in the room goes up by a ton as the water in the air is almost being drawn to him as he strides forward. His power feels like a gentle stream at first, then fills him, like a torrent, his power is very very strong.

Miyen Mi-yen is following stride for stride with RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion right on AshamAshari Asham's back. Her sword is still drawn. Her strides are long and steady, her face full of determination and calm, in a way that seems to suggest she's used to this kind of thing.

Behind them comes ZinRaishin Zin and Alaistar Rolo. ZinRaishin Zin's power flicks about him like a dark cloud, he has not drawn his weapon and his power is only partially in him. He looks pensive and is holding back. Alaistar Rolo keeps pace , his face a mixture of amusement and nervousness - but walk steady and calm - no change in posture. He occasionally glances back toward the direction of Winter, Alexi Tessa and the Child. At the very back comes WuWong Wu, looking concerned, but determined, his orange robes flowing around him.

They come to a junction, where a circular hallway meets another circular hallway, and branches off in another direction. The place seems to be laid out roughly like the Olympic symbol, with large ring sections connecting with other rings. Each ring appears to have a center area to it, the first entryway had the garden in it, the others that are closed off by the square doors, and the inside of them is blocked off.

As they leave the first ring Alaistar Rolo glances at the roof of the garden, shakes his head briefly then joins the group as described.
As they round a corner they are joined by a young man, Caucasian, in leather armor with a long sword at his hip. He has light brown hair and a long scar running down the side of his face. He nods at AshamAshari Asham, and glances about the group, looking concerned. He falls into step by WuWong Wu, and begins to speak to him in hushed tones in Latin.

“You should have woke me earlier. What’s the situation.”

WuWong Wu says, “I’m not sure. There’s been an explosion”.

VirgilBelmont Virgil, “And these people?”

“Guests”, WuWong Wu responds.

VirgilBelmont Virgil cocks an eyebrow and looks at Alaistar Rolo and ZinRaishin Zin and says, “I will take it from here. Go wake the others”.

WuWong Wu breaks off and VirgilBelmont Virgil sprints to the front rather effortlessly, smoothly drawing his blade in the manner of one used to using it. As he runs by one notices a small notch in his left ear.

As they continue, they start to hear the sounds of battle in front, coming from behind a set of doors that VirgilBelmont Virgil is about to bust though. As they approach the light, coming from torches set into the walls, dims, as if they are running low, a sense of dread fills the chamber and the magical heat seems to be sapped away.

VirgilBelmont Virgil breaks though the doors with a battle cry rumbling deep in is throat with RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion and AshamAshari Asham right on his heals, both drawing weapons as they come through the doors with Miyen Mi-yen at their side. The doors open to reveal a huge open balcony where a pitched battle is taking place.

13 wraith's stand on the battlements evenly spaced out their shadowy auras at full strength. Around them are warriors in orange robes, who look like they hurriedly got there, of the maybe 50 soldiers only 10 or so remain, the rest are broken, dieing or dead.

Alaistar Rolo stays at the back with ZinRaishin Zin.

VirgilBelmont Virgil leaps for the wraith in the center, a blur of motion as the wraith turns his attention to the new combatants, and pulses out his shadows towards him. He dodges left and right at blinding speed avoiding the wraiths attacks but unable to get close enough to strike. His sword glows with a deep white light as he moves, and the shadows seem loathe to touch it. AshamAshari Asham heads for the right flank, out of nowhere a torrent of water floods past him flowing out of no where as sweat pours off of his body, the wraiths pull back from the water dodging and turning. Hissing the wraith spins and drives a sword into AshamAshari Asham’s shoulder and he goes down screaming in pain.

RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion takes the left flank, as the shadows come for him two glowing disks one pure white and one pure black spring into existence, they spin around him like a combination of buzz saws and shields blocking and attacking as he drives forward, he slashes at the wraith in front of him, in a pitched fight with the wraiths human body as their powers mingle.

ZinRaishin Zin, turns completely black and lets lose a cry of power one of the wraiths seems to be struggling with something invisible pushing back and forth. ZinRaishin Zin's forehead beads in sweat.

Miyen Mi-yen leaps over AshamAshari Asham’s body driving off the counter blow with her sword, blocking and whirling with practiced skill, trying to push the Wraith off the edge of the balcony. The wraith for all its strength cannot seem to counter her skill with a sword. She lets lose a dagger, lodging it in the wraith’s leg and slightly unbalancing it but not sending it over the edge.

Alaistar Rolo throws his hand forward and a wave of concussive force smacks the wraith that VirgilBelmont Virgil is engaged with, he spins and cuts the wraith with the sword thanks to the opening, the wraith screams in rage, and his shadows eyes refocus on Alaistar Rolo. The wraith next to Alaistar Rolo turns to engage VirgilBelmont Virgil, when suddenly cuts begin to appear out of nowhere on the wraiths shadowy form. The face of the shadow looks first surprised then in pain as it staggers backwards throwing hands about as if it is trying to assault an unseen assailant. For the first time ever in their experience a wraith looks afraid. Two wraiths, recovering from AshamAshari Asham's attack spin and forming their shadows into blades drive forward towards Miyen Mi-yen. She dodges with incredible deftness but the wraiths are faster. One drives its shadowy blade though her leg, the other punches though her chest. For all the pain it must be causing her, she does not cry out, if anything she just looks more angry.

The wraiths near RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion spin and cut him off. He pulls back from the edge and they drive him back towards the doors. The few remaining orange robed guards fall back defending themselves and trying to save the wounded.

VirgilBelmont Virgil cries out. "There are too many, fall back to the doors, get behind the threshold!"

AshamAshari Asham stands holding his shoulder and with a glance sends out a gout of water which the wraith's dodge easily but it gets them back away from Miyen Mi-yen. He backs a few steps backward, defensively moving towards the doors.

Miyen Mi-yen shouts "Go!" and turns to cover the retreat.

RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion pulls back towards the center, his disks of energy whirling in front of him to defend his back. He pulls up next to Mi-yen and AshamAshari Asham.

VirgilBelmont Virgil blocks an attack from behind with his sword and leaps pushing back orange robed guards who scramble up and though the door. He drops into step behind Mi-yen and AshamAshari Asham using the water to defend his flank.

The injured wraith pulls into itself and screams grabbing at something, there is a terrible rending noise and the wraith seems to drive its shadowy hands inside itself yelling in rage. With a shout, and a ripping noise the wraith pulls Miyen Mi-yen's companion out of nowhere, darkness trailing all about the hole in the air from which he came. The wraith tosses the mans body down near Miyen Mi-yen’s feet. The wraiths all focus their effort towards the small knot of people left on the balcony. ZinRaishin Zin screams in effort and 6 of the wraiths hold in place, struggling against an unseen force.

Miyen Mi-yen steps over the body of her companion fire in her eyes. The wraiths turn to engage her as her companion struggles to his feet as they slowly try to pull backward.

Alaistar Rolo yells, “ZinRaishin Zin! - get back here you Son of BITCH - you can't fight the whole battle yourself!”

ZinRaishin Zin backs though the doors, blood dribbling down his nose with effort, his total will focused on holding the wraiths.

Two Wraiths drive forward at Miyen Mi-yen, she blocks the first, the second sees an opening and drives forward, cutting her deep down the shoulder. Surprisingly there is no blood as he drive his sword deep in. Another two come in, from her left flank, she spins and blocks the next, but the other is too close and swings a blow that will take her head off. RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion gives out a shout, and his disks whirl in to block at the last moment, the blade refracting off the black disk, as the white goes lengthwise like a blade and cuts though the wraiths shoulder.

The ground around Alaistar Rolo shakes as he builds up a blaze of power, ready for release. The three remaining wraiths move to block the doorway. AshamAshari Asham blasts one of them with a geyser of water from his hand burning a hole directly though the wraith's chest, it screams and falls back but the other fall into place, blocking access to the door.

Miyen Mi-yen, eyes on the five wraiths in front, sword at the ready leans down to steady her companion who has still has wisps of black energy peeling off of him like smoke. VirgilBelmont Virgil turns and leaps on one of the Wraith's behind, with an arc his blade swings though the wraith's arm the shadowy form evaporating as it is cut though, and the wraith falls back.

The wraith with a hole in its chest, spins to attack AshamAshari Asham, who instantly evaporates into mist and crosses the threshold, focusing his power again to blast a wave clearing the other wraith out of the doorway.

RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion dodges back towards the stronghold. At the last moment before he can cross a wraith in the front drives his shadowy fist into the ground, it reappears at RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion's feet and snares his leg, he goes down with a crunch, and the wraith turns to bring a sword down on his throat.

Miyen Mi-yen falling back, turns and intercepts the blade with her body, the sword pushing though her shoulder but deflecting the blade, with her free hand she shoves her companion though the threshold, and RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion rolls to safety.

VirgilBelmont Virgil grabs Miyen Mi-yen’s coat, and tosses her across the doorway, he turns and leaps though the doors. They land in a crumple at the other side of the hallway.

AshamAshari Asham and RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion swing the doors shut as Alaistar Rolo yells in rage from deep within his throat. Just as the doors snap shut on the wraiths there is an earth shattering explosion, the whole world goes sideways as the walls quake and crack a bit but hold, there are screams and the sound of snapping stone from the other side of the doors, but all is quiet.

Everyone but Alaistar Rolo and VirgilBelmont Virgil lose their feet in the rumbling and shaking.

Alaistar Rolo cracks door and looks out.

Miyen Mi-yen stands and offers her companion a hand to rise as well, then offers it to anyone who also might need help up. "Are they gone?" she asks Alaistar Rolo

Alaistar Rolo stands to the side and pushes the door fully open. There is no balcony, and no sign of the wraiths. There is just smoking cliff face. She nods and continues to make sure everyone else is ok and on their feet. “We're about to have company” she says.

Alaistar Rolo says, “friends, I hope.” Alaistar Rolo turns to the hallway on the right - and raises his staff.

The rest stand, RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion's seems no worse for wear, VirgilBelmont Virgil looks to maybe have a broken rib but is otherwise unhurt.

AshamAshari Asham's shoulder is still bleeding and he grimaces as he stands, he closes his eyes and draws in water from around him and you watch as the wound closes. Miyen Mi-yen’s companion stands, and pulls back, behind and to the right of Miyen Mi-yen, he looks shaken but okay. ZinRaishin Zin slumps, and wavers on his feet.

Miyen Mi-yen looks straight at head of them, to the East and into a wall. "There is another battle being fought", she points with her sword in that direction and looks back towards the group in a manner of expectation. Just as she says this WuWong Wu rounds the corner into sight. "She is right, the wraiths are attacking the front gate! The alchemists are holding them there, along with MustafaOmarMohammed Muststafa, DeviWong Devi, Raven, Chen, NeruKazi Neru, and TomoLuKang Tomo. But they cannot hold!"

"Lead the way", Miyen Mi-yen says.

Alaistar Rolo closes and bars the doors then moves to ZinRaishin Zin and supports him.

RenjiYoritomo Omi’s companion smiles and takes off after WuWong Wu, "You scholars really know how to throw a party." Alaistar Rolo supports ZinRaishin Zin, Miyen Mi-yen supporting her companion follow, VirgilBelmont Virgil takes the lead, sprinting down the hall broken rib and all. AshamAshari Asham takes the back once again gathering his power to him.

WuWong Wu leads back through the halls to the front gates, which is a sea of red and black.
