*Looking back, Dralen could see the large amounts of soldiers lined up and cannons ready and waiting. Relief spread through him as he whirled his good hand through a series of parries. That is until the first of the cannons lanced fire and an explosion ringed in his ear.*<em>Damn, did they forget about us?</em><strong>Everyone, damn these beasts! We need to fall back NOW!</strong>*Even as these words left his mouth, more cannon fire sounded. This time it landed all around, closer.*<em>How convenient, they're getting their range, which means, any second now, one of those things is probably gonna blast me in two.</em>*He turned as his blades protected him and "tried" to run, he had forgotten about the blow to his arm. Potions only do so much about blood loss and he had run out a while back anyway. So as his first few strides landed, his head seemed to float in the clouds. Didn't take long for his vision to go black and for him to collapse either.*
