<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 26px"><b>Annie, The Hero</b></span></span>​</div><br/>Annie grimace as she ducked behind the cart, goblin arrows whizzing by and striking the cart. Her arms were burning, and the heat in her chest was beginning to become uncomfortable. The Enhancement spell she had cast upon herself wasn't a very long lasting one, and she would have to re-cast it every few shots. The archer girl threw off her pelt coat, drawing another arrow from her quiver. This goblin girl she was fighting alongside was good. It made Annie wonder why Mr. Asterro hadn't allowed her to be tested. But now was not a time to become distracted.<br/><br/>Something reached them behind the cart, just as the goblin archers began to retreat and reform. It was Val, covered in blood.<br/>"Hi. Anything exciting?" Val asked.<br/>"Val!?" Annie said, grabbing her friend and quickly looking him over. Whatever the blood on him was, it wasn't his. There was a whirlwind of activity,  as Dayyan ran in and pulled Val away to help him.<br/>"Wait, no! He ain't-" Annie called out, but it was too late. A trio of goblin arrows flew around Annie, one landing in the snow, another sticking into the wood of the cart, and the third one actually passing through Annie's hair. Annie dove back behind the cart, clutching her bow. Way too close.<br/><br/>Another scream rang out. Lady Silvid! Annie grabbed one of the goblin arrows, when suddenly the goblin that was attacking her, it's head exploded. Mue. Annie glanced over, watching the goblin girl fall out of the wagon and collapse into the snow.  The rancher girl ran over to Mue, helping guide the goblin girl back behind the cart.<br/>"Stay strong, okay?! Be careful!" Annie said to Mue. With that taken care of, Annie ran over to Astrea and grabbed the noblewoman, dragging her to her feet.<br/><br/>"Come on, come on!" Annie said, dragging Astrea towards the cover of the cart
