Seneli banked to the left now and followed the wraiths as they ran deeper into the forest.  To her the beings of shadow were bright lights in the night as all sources of magic were and it made them easy to track.  When they finally stopped she figured that they had indeed reached their destination and potentially the prey that the other two mortals had been trying to prevent them from reaching.  So, she carefully banked up away from the trees before turning and diving straight through a hole in the canopy.  She landed carefully only a few yards behind the wraiths.<br/><br/>The runes upon her violet scales began to flare, a stark contrast in the night compared to the almost black scales they were etched upon.<span style="font-style: italic">"Magic weaves its way through everything and the elements are no exception."</span>She muttered the spell in draconic and at its end a bolt of blue lightning flew from her mouth straight toward the rear most wraith, hopefully catching him off guard.<br/><br/>She would not stay still after, however, as she ran forward to finish the one off that she had sent the spell toward.  She could not have these beings of foul magic harm those who had perked her interest.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Amei blinked as their enemy finally revealed itself.  Horsemen she had experience fighting, but these things were different entirely.  She could not actually see any riders a top the horses, only black robes that seemed to cling to the frame of something sinister.  She was sure that they were a manifestation of some dark magic.  She took up a defensive position beside Morys, bracing with her Nodachi before her in case they continue to charge straight at her.<br/><br/>And then the world became a light with magic and fire.  As Morys called divine favor down against his target her eyes took a second to recover from the sudden burst of fire that now consumed the dark rider.  But what was most disturbing was the sight of a dragon landing behind the riders with glowing lines all over its body.  The dragon wasted no time in casting a spell that looked like lighting straight toward the rear guard of the riders.  Amei's eyes were not suited for such sudden changes in light levels and so she stood their, dazed for a few seconds.<br/><br/>Seconds enough to give her enemy time to advance unhindered toward her.  Her eyes cleared just in time to see a dull grey longsword being thrust toward her chest.  She redirected the sword with her nodachi while stepping back, cursing as she did.
