Mana Ties, Part Seven

Side by side, Lianna, Enverna, and Zura followed behind the Shields of Saren members. 

Lianna's eyes were tugged to the water. She watched the waves push and pull, knowing this serenity was doomed to be brief as, apparently, there were Fiends here. 

Almost as soon as Lianna remembered that fact, someone ahead called out: 

"Everyone, on guard! Fiends!" 

The tranquility of the beach shattered, replaced by an immediate sense of tension. Shields of Saren members moved with practiced coordination, their weapons drawn and eyes scanning the shoreline.

Lianna shared a look with Enverna before they too hopped into the fray. 

Zura beat them to the punch. The Paladin-class fighter took her shield and raised it in front of the Fiend, covering for one of their mages. 

The chaotic dance between the Shields of Saren, their guests, and the Fiends began.
