(HP: 10/44)<br/><br/>A cry wrenched from Delphine's lips, as she was struck from behind! She didn't bleed, not truly, but her substance wept from the wounds she'd sustained...Black feathers puffing from the impact, as her wings were struck a glancing blow! It didn't stop her, however - Her claws wrenching him away, hurling him aside...Even as incoming arrows whistled,<em>thunking</em>into the wood!<br/><br/>"Haaa, haaaa..."<br/><br/>Her chest rose and fell, rose and fell as she panted, drained - She could still fight, but (For the first time in a long while!) she hoped she wouldn't have to!<br/><br/>And then - When she heard the battle-cry, her heart leapt! The others were joining the fight...But the bandits were scattering in all directions! Gritting her teeth, she beat her wings...Landing next to Cedrik, with a<em>thump</em>- Swaying to her feet!<br/><br/>"S, Sophie's up in the tree, Master," she said, wincing at the effort - "There<em>were</em>eight of them...But I think I killed their Wizard!"<br/><br/>She just needed a moment to catch her breath - A moment, before she could give chase!
