Ahnva frowned at the idea of someone with a shade on their side. She doubted anyone associated with the creatures to be up to any good. However, she supposed that she would technically fall under that category now, with the mark on her. She tried not to think about that and ran down the roads back into town. The town square was still crawling with shadows- it looked like they were all appearing in the center of town and moving out from there- but they were all immediately heading one direction. The centaur from earlier was cantering beside her. “Do you think this is a good idea?” Onnu asked her. “I mean, heading straight toward the danger?” Ahnva didn’t answer, but she changed direction and headed into a side street. It might take them a bit longer to reach wherever the shadows were heading, but if it kept them from dying, she was all right with that.<br/><br/><br/>The two of them rounded the last street corner, they saw a dark elf wielding a sword, with shadows  drawing close. "We need to get out of here!” Onnu shouted at him. He whacked one of the shadow monsters back with his staff. It wasn’t a terribly effective attack against these kind of monsters, and he stepped back anxiously. If he had to, he could use magic, but he didn’t want to damage the town.<br/><br/>Ahnva ran up to Tevyn. “If you stay,” she informed him. “you’ll be in danger. We all will be.” She glanced over at the shadow monsters. The added presence of two marked was drawing them to this location even more. It was only a matter of time before the attack grew worse.
