Aure of course got no reply to what she said about needing room to move, not that the elf girl expected much of a reply.  But she was able to find herself a place near the edge of the templar line, away from their shields and their line.  She would not be able to fight effectively there in the front line where she wouldn't have the room to move around.  Instead, the elf girl fell in line at the end of their line and drew both her blades from their sheaths, brandishing them both into the open to gleam, ready to strike.  She twirled each one around one in a slight display while the militia was cheering, that part she didn't join in with.<br/><br/>Instead of the roars and cheers, Aure just listened to the music and took some steadying breaths to get herself ready.  She didn't have long to wait though before the impending charges came, led by the templar, their Knight Captain Jaeron leading the charge followed by Alex and the rest.  Them all letting out their battle-cries, and their roars.  After one last long breath, Aure lept forward suddenly, her blades trailing behind her.  She didn't have any more time to think about what she was doing anymore as the second half of the battle began.  The yell from Aure's mouth mixed in with everyone else as the two forces approached each other quickly before breaking against each other.<br/><br/>Both blades came forward from behind her as The two armies approached, the short sword leading first in her defense against the first attacker to approach her, or more likely the first she approached.  Using the shortsword to sideswipe the first strike, a spear thrust from a lightly armored bandit.  With the sideswipe, Aure kicked with her feet to spin around the man and bringing her thin longsword across his back, and biting deeply into his flesh.  His momentum at trying to attack Aure sent him into the militia that had been behind her, the pain from the cut in his back making him drop his guard.  Past that, Aure paid no attention to that one, there were more coming.<br/><br/>Continueing her spin, Aure ducked below an oncoming strike of an axe that just mussed Aure's head, it only getting a couple strands of her hair as she went low with a spin to the right.  As she came back around and up behind the bandit's arm and axe, her swortsword was leading again, but this time coming up from below and into the bandit's stomach deeply.  He dropped his axe and coughed up blood as Aure stepped back, her sword slipping out of the bandit's gut.  She paused a moment, trying not to look at the blood on her blade while looking around at the battlefield and the chaos around it.  The templar were wrecking havoc among the bandits, while the militia fought desperately against the bandits.<br/><br/>Aure wasn't given much more of a chance to observe the battle or look at who was where when a bandit wielding a sword came at the elf.  It still wasn't a fair fight for him as Aure dodged his strikes easily and returned them with her own light blades.  It was during this tradeoff when she heard the yell about the fires, that someone was supposed to burn everything down.  Sending the man she was trading blows with off balance, she spun around him before laying her longsword across his neck and pulling.  Finally she got a chance to look at where Ser Katharine was, and follows her eyes to where the larger bandits were charging.<br/><br/><span style="color: Magenta">“Alex!  We need to get to those torches, now!  I'll need some help!”</span>Aure called when she spotted the redheaded woman among the Templar, and close enough to hear her own yell.  She pointed at the statue and torches with her blade before taking off in that direction.  Of course the crowds were in the way, including some bandits between her and the militia.  Perfect.  As she ran, Aure leaped up with all she had onto one of the bandit's shoulders and using him as a springboard to get herself on the other side of the line.  And her little move gave the militia man that had been engaging the bandit the upper hand because of the Bandit's lack of balance.<br/><br/>Of course by the time she would get to them, they would be through the crowds, not good.  As soon as Aure had a clear line of sight, she sheathed her longsword and drew her dark dagger and flipped it into her hand.  In a quick moment she winded back and let fly the dagger at the leading Bandit that was heading towards the torches, hopefully that would give them a distraction, and make them look at her.  Having nothing else to do, she redrew her blades and continued her run towards them, her ebony hair streaming behind her and her blood covered bladed gleaming beside her.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
