While with the rest of the group and discussing the goblin fight, Lily felt somewhat stiff from sitting for a while and decided to take a walk. However, her leisurely stroll was short-lived as she caught wind of the situation and hurried to see what was happening.

Lucius took a deep breath, the pain from his wound still evident. He closed his eyes and concentrated on his energy, syncing with his heartbeat. A surge of mana coursed through his body, flowing from his heart to his legs. The blade of his sword began to emit an eerie, dangerous blue glow.
As the situation intensified, the group's leader wore a grave expression, realizing that things had taken a turn for the worse.
He yelled, "Weapons out now!" He unsheathed his sword, preparing to defend himself with the shield companion standing close by. Just as he was readying himself, he saw Lucius open his eye, and in a swift motion, a head rolled to the ground.
