"No...Rachael." Vagile said shallowly as she saw her fall to the ground, fearing the worst. Studying Rachael's body closely Vagile discovered she was still breathing, but whether she was unconscious or barely clinging to life was still uncertain.<br/>Vagile's mind began racing on what she should do now. Her powers were completely drained, the bruises and wounds she carried were making themselves more known to her, and not to mention she was once again facing the mermaid alone. Right now retreating seemed like the best bet, but if she did she would have to take Rachael along as well, however the mermaid would probably killed them both before they got very far. Heck, there wasn't anywhere safe to run to anyways.<br/>Option two would be to continue fighting and hope for the best.<span style="font-style: italic">&lt;But that would be suicide.&gt;</span>Vagile thought,<span style="font-style: italic">&lt;Even if I gained the upper hand I wouldn't put it pass her to put Rachael's life on the line to gain leverage.&gt;</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">&lt;Which leaves me with option three. It's a shot in the dark, but it could turn the odds in our favor...&gt;</span><br/><br/>"Alright, I'm done. I'll go with you peacefully to the Queen if you leave my friend alone. She's innocent in this entire matter. I'm the one who's been causing all the trouble in your city. I've ended two lives so far. While she's done nothing but try to protect me. I'm sure if you take me to your Queen there will be a nice reward waiting for you. Perhaps a promotion even. I just ask that you leave my friend alone and then I'll just walk with you quietly or we can continue fighting and continue swapping battle wounds. The choice is yours."
