Going To Base

[Midnight]

Ok lets go then.

*With a quick look behind her Midnight follows the rest of the group towards the boarding school. She was exhausted and filthy and achey before a rest she'd need a wash and change of clothes. Hopefully the mages would turn up tomorrow if not tonight.*

(OCC: Going to the Boarding School: The Allience.)

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom emmerged from the bushes a half an hour after the others had left. His head was down looking at the floor something was oviusly troubleing him.*

"Those Wraiths where/are not the only ones tracking us."

{He says to himslef not realising the othere have gone.)

"It's in the area I know it is, that poor dear must have crossed its path."

*Shudders*

"Only a monster could tear a innocent creature like that appart for fun."

*Looks up,*

"OH.....Oh How Kind of them"

"Just leave me to catch up why don't you's"

*Tom sets off after the other Alliance members.*

(OOC: Continued in "Sneak Attack.")

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom hurried along the path to the school unaware that as night fell and the shadows dnace through the trees of the forrest surounding the path, that one Shadow in perticular was moveing diffrently it was tracking him.*

*Exept it was't a shadow.*

[The Assassin]

*The Assasin kept Tom in sight as it darted through the trees. Every so oftern a forrest creature would be startled by it but before it could cry out and possible alert Tom to The Assasin presence some tenticals would whip ot and the poor creture would be ripped appart.*

*The Assasin was waitning for its chance to strike.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom came to across road. But the sign post was dammaged and was not easy to read.*

"Bother now which way to The School???"

*Tom had never walked to the school his last 2 visites had been by magic that had brought him directly to the school grounds.*

"Ahhh The Direction Spell should be of good use here."

"SPELLCASTING"

"D...I...R...E...C..T...I...O..N

*A Goldned Arrow apper din the air in front of Tom. It Hummed what apperd to be a greating soudning like a butiefully played Harp*

"Oh, Helo there yourself. My What a polite Arrow. Would you be so kind as to point me in the right Direction for The Boreding School, theres a good Arrow."

*The arrow hummed a replie and started to spin in a cricle, gradulay it stopped and pointed down the road to the left.*

"Thank you very much."

*The Arrow Hummed again and started to fade.*

"I will and the same to you. Fairwell & Fair chance."

*Tom said as he waved to the arrow. He was just about to set off again when he heard the hissing sound from behind he swung round quickly but not quick enough.*

[The Assassin]

*The Assasin seeing Tom distracted had quiatly slitherd its way to right up behind him.*

*When Tom heard it and tried to turn round to face it The Assasin had been ready. One of its deadly tenticlas swung out and caught him right on the shoulder knocking him down to his knees.*

*The Assasin hissed with glee and some of its tenticlas snaked there way around his body squeesing him like a aderconder. While others flade away at him leaing cuts and welts on his face and arms.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom had not had a chance to recover from the first blow when he felt the teticals wrap around his body and strat to squeez the life out of him. He struggled to breave while he took the assult of the Assasin other tenticals.*

*How ever after a few minutes Tom's struggles became less ferices as the lack of oxygen begin to affect his brain and the sherre visiouness of the beating he was reciveng began to take its tole on his body.*

"I have one last chance."

*He thought to himself and he closed his eyes. For a minut it looked like Tom may have blackout but sudernly his eyelids shot open but instead of the twinkealing mischefious brown eyes, his eyes where now a bright radiat mixture of purpel and crimmson.*

"Let me go you abomination."

*Tom said loudly his voice also now unrecoisable it was deeper, more majestic and commanding.*

"Let me go right.............NOW!!!"

*As he said this he looked at the Assasin and breams of energy came from his eyes and struk the Assasin, there was a smell almost like burning rubber.*

[The Assassin]

*The Assasin again screamed in agony. It relaes its grip and took of back into the forrest. It's screams echoing through the trees like a banshee.* [ModNote: It would return here.]

*Tom looked after it for a few moments before he actualy did blackout and colapesd on the path.*

[Tom Troughton]

*Tom awoke about 2 hours later. He checked himself over. Well he was deffinatly alive because his body hurt like hell.*

*He looked at his arms. The white blood was still trikaling out slightly. Slowly he got to his feet and limped down the road that lead to the Boarding school.*
