Adeline's sheath repelled an attack as she sawed through her foe with the steel of her sword, weakly stumbling forward as the target fell onto the ground in pieces. Her breathing turned into heavy, sequential gasps. Just when she thought all hope was lost, a strange sound cackled in the distance. Soon, the lady that was filled with despair assumed a fighting stance once again as she could hear a slithering sound snake past her; her despair turned into confusion as a large snap was heard, and the sound of the horrid ice golems crashing into each other echoed in the distance. The barrage of noises was met by the sounds of a whirling blade, scraping and shattering the constructs into bits.<br/><br/>Was it one of the hunters returning? Had a silencer found their way here? If so, why would they destroy the beings meant to kill them? Adeline's answer was soon found as the man spoke up, her blade dropping into the snow as her knees buckled onto the ground.<span style="font-style: italic">It'sss purple! It's Sir Purple!</span>Tiresias cried. The sightless maiden patted the ground reaching her hand over the lethal-end of her cane, assembling her ebony walking stick back to its original state. She leaned heavily on her walking device as her head turned upward to speak.<br/><br/>"Glad to have you back in the world of the living, Death. Or should I say, Ayl Taveirn?" she stated, taking a breath between every other word. "We've heard no word from any other group aside from Sam's, I fear the worst may have befallen them..." Her thoughts turned to the dying hunter from earlier, how sudden and painful her death was. "I am grateful that I was placed with Hatsu, else I may have joined their ranks. I... thank you all."<br/><br/>Adeline's head was cocked downward as she leaned on her cane; with her condition leaving her eyes almost always closed, it seemed as if she was asleep. Her breathing was heavy, but more relaxed than it was earlier. The injuries she sustained and the cold weather almost seemed like a distant memory as the adrenaline from the battle was still in effect.<br/><br/>The battle-worn woman spoke up again, "Hatsu created a beacon for the others to return. If any remain, they will come here... if they aren't pursued. We may just have to form search parties for the search parties, I fear."
