Akara laid leather to the horses hind quarters urging her on. Clods of dirt flung out behind the horses hooves as she tore into the ground tearing down the last of the path. The battle was in front of them too many to count swarming the lone fighter as he cast spells trying to hold them off to give the army time.<br/><br/>Akara's cut a glance at her companions who each nodded in turn to her. Griffin and Aurthur pealed off from the pack taking each a side. Fighting from atop the horse they plunged into battle, sunlight glittering of their blades as they hacked and slashed their way threw the hoard. Their faces were in grim lines of determination.<br/><br/>Evain caught a glance from Akara and dismounted with her and the two females plunged into the battle headlong. While Evain would normally be termed graceful next to Akara she looked like an ill practiced child. Akara moved with ease making a target out of herself drawing the attention of the hoard while trusting Evain to be there if anything too bad happend and to keep any from getting away from them.<br/><br/>Akara caught the gaze of the lone fighter for a moment and gave him an encouraging smile as she twirled sinking her blade into the nearest opponent. The battle field was lost, this wasn't just a skirmish easily won by a few good worriers but a battle field. An army spread out before her and Akara though extremely hard headed in most regards knew without help she didn't have the endurance to win this.<br/><br/>The admission even if only to herself tweaked her temper and had her fighting more aggressively then needed. She slashed her blade and took a cut to her midsection across her ribs. She hissed in pain and narrowed her eyes parrying and stabbing the dead who dared to strike her to spill her life blood.<br/><br/>The clash of steel against steel could be heard all around as Griffin, Aurthur and Evain fought their own opponents. Akara's face was alive with determination, it wouldn't be long now. They'd passed Ravus on the road solders would be coming soon to aid them, it was only a matter of time now. They just had to keep the hoard away from the city till they could come.
