Following the man around the corner, Azlant quickly ducks a jet of flame sprayed from the man further down the street.<span style="font-style: italic">"I'll give you points for persistence, if nothing else, but you fools need to learn when to give up!"</span>Dropping down near the ground, Azlant flicks his tail out in front of him, tracing along the street.  A ripple in the ground itself begins to form, and continues on after he rises back up, speeding up as it goes.  As it gets closer to the man, it suddenly expands and rises up, forming a literal bow wave that is close to a foot high when it slams into the man's legs, knocking him off his feet.  As he lands, the earth under him surges up, effectively holding him down.<br/><br/>Darting towards him, Azlant stops about five feet away, hovering in front of him.<span style="font-style: italic">"You know, I'm honestly a little sorry for you.  You've been chasing us long enough that you had to have known that just sending in one person isn't nearly enough to be a danger."</span>Looking up at Azlant, the man seems to get a strange glint in his eye before replying.  "Why are you assuming that I'm alone?"<br/><br/>Backing away from him, Azlant narrowly dodges another hurled blast of flame as a pair of men advance on him from down another street.  Both are wearing the same type of armor as the first, as well as carrying the same small balls of fire in their hands.<span style="font-style: italic">"So it seems you aren't quite as stupid as you first looked..."</span>Hearing a shout from far off, Azlant looks up, and smiles.<span style="font-style: italic">"Unfortunately for you, though, that won't be enough!"</span>As the cargo box flies overhead, Azland sends another blast of fire towards it, turning it into a hail of burning chunks of wood.  Taking the opportunity, Azlant heads straight up, flying over the top of the building until he drops down near the ship.  Seeing Arkain up on the deck, he quickly joins him on-board.<span style="font-style: italic">"Not to put too much of an emphasis on this, but we really do need to be going.  Those fools will be coming after me soon, and they won't hesitate if you or Jaku get in their way."</span><br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>As Suri explains her gift to Tamara, Kellus looks on with a curious look on his face.  "Interesting.  It took me being bonded to Azlant in a rather unpleasant ritual to gain an ability like the one you'e describing, and even then it doesn't function in quite the same way.  Although I don't want to sound like a broken record here, you all continue to surprise me with what you're capable of."
