Meren, in his haste, did not notice the solo guard that was in front of the two of them. Before he could act, it seemed that the girl had already began doing so. She used the same magic as before, stripping off the warrior's armor and apparently disabling him temporarily. Quickly noting that she was counting on him to finish the job. He sprung forward, running the short distance to the guard and putting him in a weird headlock where one of his hands was positioned over the guard's mouth. That particular hand was glowing blue at this instant.<br/><br/>"If you struggle or scream I will turn your insides to snow..." he said, shooting a warning blast of cool air down his throat "Do you understand me?"<br/><br/>The man nodded, eyes wide with terror. Meren herded him into an alleyway that was only a few yards away.<br/><br/>"Why are you attacking this town?" Meren asked, removing his hand from the man to allow him to speak without too much trouble. The man coughed, possible from the freezing wind that was shot into his insides and then spoke.<br/><br/>"I.. I don't know. They just told me to come in here and kill anything that moved. Please.. please don't hurt me."<br/><br/>Meren put his hand back over the warrior's mouth. From what Meren could tell, the man was being genuine with him, but unfortunately he could not let the man leave the alleyway, for fear that he might bring reinforcements to dispatch of Meren. Meren grabbed the man's chin and jerked his arm to the right, and the guard's body went limp after a soft snap filled the air. Meren put the body softly on the ground and dragged it into the shadows. He knelt in the shadows for a moment, calculating his next move.
