<br/>Tiberius disliked interruptions of any kind; this intrusion of flying assailants was no different. He watched as two of his knights fell and the others struggled against the mercenary horde. With a growl, the knight ran towards two of the intruders and sliced them in half at the torso. Suddenly a man appeared across the clearing and yelled a greeting to him. At that pint two more arrows sped at him. Dodging one of the arrows the large knight caught the other in his hand. Snapping the arrow in half he tossed it aside and began to run towards the obvious leader. At that moment, he heard groans as two more of his men fell “This is ridiculous… You are trained knights how dare you fall.” He hissed stopping his advance. Sir Tiberius turned and saw that his victim was gone to his detriment. With another snarl he gaged his odds of winning. “Zero… Survival is assured but the men’s is not..” He growled once more turning and running to his horse “Retreat!” He ordered his remaining four men that leaped onto their horses and ran behind their leader.<br/><br/>Tiberius swore that he would have his revenge on the intruder and have the princesses head or her hand. However, first he had a little matter to take care of at the palace.<br/><br/><br/>Elaine heard the loud whistling sounds of arrows flying past her and above her in the sky, moving her hands she saw a confused Sir Tiberius looking round bewildered and angry. Within a few moments twenty men came flying out of the woods attacking and killing many of the knights. The lead knight moved killing two men in a most grotesque fashion as the princess stood swiftly and began running into the wooded area, holding her dress up tightly with her muddied hands. In the distance, she heard a voice call out but she did not know or what to stop to know what it said.<br/><br/>Running for her life the brunet dodged under branches and climbed over rocks. The brown dress received rips as she continually turned to see if anyone was fallowing her. A branch scratched her face, causing blood to trickle down. Another loud voice came from behind and she looked back, tripping over a stone and falling down a small embankment. At the bottom were thorns that became twisted in her dress and around her feet. Elaine was trapped and receiving more and more wounds as she struggled. At this rate, she was sure to be caught.<br/>
