Vidaar rolled, luckily not being knocked out by the impact with the ground.  Silas came trotting up to him and licked his face.<br/><br/>"I'm fine!  I'm fine," he said as Silas continued to lick him.  He got up and pull his bow, which miraculously hadn't been damaged, from his back and drew some arrows from his quiver, which was also on his back and unharmed.  He then called to the earth and plants in the elven tongue. "<span style="font-style: italic">Olvarim tukalia!</span>"  The plants in the area grew rapidly, bursting through the stone streets, and began wrapping themselves around the legs of the guards, effectively immobilizing them.  He then pulled back on his bow, set with three arrows, and let fly.  He caught one guard in the head, another through the heart, and the third arrow whizzed past all of them, heading straight at the guard that had stopped because of the flying man.  However, it missed and hit the wall of the building behind him, shattering the shaft and sending the head careening into the alley.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Not bad</span>, he thought.<span style="font-style: italic">Could have been better though.</span><br/><br/>"Nice job, ranger!" exclaimed Mhenlo.  "Well done!"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Senpai noticed me!</span>thought Vidaar.<span style="font-style: italic">...STOP!  NO!  STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!</span><br/><br/>"Now," Mhenlo began, smirking, "let me show you what<span style="font-style: italic">I</span>can do!"  He began to run towards the remaining guards, and, holding his arm aloft, he spoke the incantation. "<span style="font-style: italic">Guang mao!</span>"<br/><br/>With the words spoken, a shaft of brilliance formed in his raised hand, creating a spear of pure light that he threw at one of the guards in the middle of the group, catching him in the center of his chest.  He then stopped short of the front of the group, and dropped into a quick fighting stance, speaking a quick prayer.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-style: italic">Yuan Huo Zhan yindao wo de quantou ji da wo de diren...</span>"  His hands and feet began to glow with brilliant, holy light, and he began to flow among the entrapped guards, hitting each one on a point that, coupled with the immense amount of energy being sent into them, caused them to die almost instantaneously.<br/><br/>When he got to the other end of the group, he stopped and pulled himself up, hands flat together in a praying gesture, and whispered a quick prayer of thanks to Huo Zhan.  He turned to look at Vidaar.  "How did you like<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>?"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Take me!</span>thought Vidaar.<span style="font-style: italic">I'm yours!</span>He shook his head, deciding that he'd need a cold shower later.  Mhenlo then did all sorts of acrobatics, back flipping and jumping over the corpses of his enemies, all the way back to where Vidaar, making things just that much worse for the ranger.  Silas nudged his "master" as if to say "Oh, just ask him out already!"
