Brevine put her hand on her sword hilt. She picked up Horens sword as well.<br/><br/>"Then we will fight and protect him." Brevine motioned to the few warriors that had managed to follow them from the safe house to here.<br/><br/>"You men will fight with me. No one gets through us to reach Katie or Horen." She pulled her own sword and stood in the doorway only moving aside as mages arrived and took away the other wounded. Soon only Horen, Katie and her Elven companion remained. The healer returned to speak with Katie just as Horen groaned.<br/><br/>Horen groaned and wheezed as he clutched at his chest. The last thing hed remembered was being thrown through the wall and a piece of the metal from it piercing his armor and chest. He opened his eyes and gasped trying to focus his blurry vision. He was too weak to try and sit up so he stayed down as he gasped for air. His lungs hurt, every breath sent needles of pain through his chest.
