"To the gate! We cannot allow any more of them to enter the city!"
A familiar voice could be heard giving orders to Hao Xuan's right. Head still ringing and waves of pain continuously coursing through his body, Hao Xuan grit his teeth and stood up.
He leaped over a nearby structure and landed on the roof, seeing a group of 15 or so individuals. They were running through the streets towards the south side of the city where the only entrance was.
On the way they dispatched several skinless crimson beasts before burning their bodies to cinders.
Hao Xuan recognized Princess Inara who was in the lead. Next to her was Ma Jiang, and the two female guards that always followed her around. Kart, black wolf demihuman was also there but Hao Xuan didn't recognize him since they had never met before.
But from the ones he was familiar with, they were much different from what he remembered. Princess Inara for example wasn't the meek little kitten she had been in front of Hao Xuan.
