Curtain of Light (2 of 2)

/Alpha: Wind: Incoming! There's another group to the south of us.

/Alpha: Nix: Shit... Get ready to fight.

The new group had already spotted them, evident by the way they changed their course. They were all heavily armored, eight of them on horseback.

/Alpha: Semmi: Trifecta.

/Alpha: Nix: Gigs up. Let's go.

Before Alpha could move toward Trifecta, an ear-splitting screech sounded from above. Chupa swooped down with the entire raid's Bone Crows in tow. The Raven's claws closed around an armored figure and, with several powerful flaps, bore him into the night sky.

Nix sprinted toward the group, but the entire group was gone before they could catch up. Screaming armored fighters fell from the sky like raindrops, splattering on the cold hard ground of the Dawn Burrough. "Check for survivors. Lilac! Get your ass back under cover!"

Lilac and her group had moved toward them, but Nix's shout was all they needed to retreat.
