"What are you on about? . . " He asked turning around .
"They have hundreds more in the darkness!!! Paul said we need to retreat to the inner district . " I explained to Sven .
"Dear lord . . . can't be? . . " the Guard captain uttered in complete shock .
"Captain . . . . . You need to send word to pull back the front line . " Sven answered .
"Wait a second . . . this is suicide . . . . if we lose the wall and the front gate there is no way . . . . . We'll stop them taking the city . " The Guard Captain argued .
"I've already sent word to out Deputy Head Mistress . . . . . No doubt within a few minutes we'll be retreating to the inner district . . . " Sven explained .
"You are all insane . . . why would giving up out most defensible position be the right move . . . . " He questioned .
"I can't be certain what the plan is . . . . but Paul said we need to retreat… we need to retreat . . " Sven said to him very seriously .
"And how would you propose such a feat?? . . . . The moment we leave the gates or the walls unattended they will scale and flood the city faster than we can retreat . . . . . Not to mention there are still guard units securing the city . " The guard Captain explained as if it was impossible .
"Emilia we need to go and find Jila . . . . . She's gonna be the only way to bring back the injured . " Yuna reminded me
"Paul is here? . . . " Daisy gasped in shock .
"Yeah he's out there with a few soldiers holding up a barrier . . . " I explained to her .
"We must hurry!!" Daisy insisted .

"Hey Sven . . . . do you know where Jila is? . . " Yuna asked .
" . . . . . . . head of transportation division? . . . . " He asked .
"Yeah . . . . . " Yuna replied .
"She somewhere in the lower district helping evacuate anyone who stayed in the lower district . " Sven answered .
"Of course . . . one problem after another . . . " Yuna cursed . "So shes anywhere in the lower district? . . . " Yuna asked .
"Yup that's what I'm told . " Sven answered .
"What's the situation in the lower district? . . " Yuna asked .
"I think almost all citizens and non-combatants have been evacuated deeper into the city . . . . so she and a few other students and a guard unit are checking for anyone left behind . . . . It should be safe but be on your guard . . . a few small contingent of Dark Elves did make it into the city with tunnel worms . . . . . Over watch has been keeping an eye on the city . " Sven informed us .
"You don't have a pin point location on her? . . " Yuna asked .
"Of course not . . . she's relatively safe . . . . . " Sven answered .
"Damnit . . . okay . . . . Tell Deputy Headmistress we need to retreat to the inner district . . . And we need a large open empty area for an emergency teleporter . . . . . Message us once a suitable location is found and tell Jila to meet us there . " Yuna informed Sven .
"Okay . . . I'll let the Deputy Headmistress know . . . " He smiled .

"Let's go we need to find Jila . " Yuna ordered us .
"Wait . . . Aren't you gonna wait for her at the location? . . " Sven asked looking confused .
"No . . . . we're gonna need to try and find her . . . . in case she needs help or she decides to put off the order to rendezvous with us . " Yuna replied .
"Ahh . . . you're right . . . . . " He nodded . . . . . "Good luck . . . . if I receive word on where she is . . . I'll try and let you guys know . " He said
"Okay . . . thanks for the save . . . . Priscilla Stay safe . " She thanked Priscilla and nodded to Sven .
"Ohh and don't forget your friends . . . . . " Sven said pointing at the wall towards what looked like Jay, Helen and Grace . "OI newbies!!!! Get off the wall and reunite with Emilia . . . . " Sven shouted to them and with his head issuing an order to Priscilla .
Priscilla picked up her sniper rifle, giving Yuna two pats on the shoulder and began making her way towards the wall .
"Let's get going . . . . " Yuna ordered us and began making our way to meet up with Jay, Helen and Grace .
"Emilia!!!" they all shouted with giant smiles running towards us .
"Hey guys!!!" I shouted back as the feeling of relief and happiness filled my soul .
"Thank goodnes you made it back!!! We were so worried! Lucky we saw the flare . " They smiled checking if I'm okay .
"Ohh yeahhhh!! That was so epic . . . . . Umm this is Yuna she's also a student of Atlantis she helped me get back ion one piece . " I smiled introducing her to them .
"Hi Yuna . . . nice to meet you!!! Thank you for saving Emilia . " They all smiled .
"It's no problem . . . . " Yuna smiled in return .
"Yuna this is Jay, Helen and Grace . " I introduced them to Yuna .
"Nice to meet you . . . . . Emilia brief them on our task as we move . . . . . It's nearing 10 minutes I don't know how long Paul will last . . . " She insisted and began hastening her pace into the city .
"Paul's here? . . . . " Jay asked in shock .
"Yes . . . he's out there currently trying to protect those who couldn't make it . . . . we need to quickly find another student called Jila so she can teleport him out . " I explained .
"No way . . . . " Jay sked in shock his jaw hung open .
"Yes there's still hundreds in the darkness . . . . . " I explained quickening my pace to catch up to Yuna .
"Keep your eyes open . . . . we've been informed there may be some Dark Elves skulking around . " Yuna informed them as they caught up .
"Ummmmm . . . . . . . I think I can do something to help . . . " Helen politely asked Yuna .
"I'm up for any suggestions . . . . . We're in dire straits right now . " Yuna accepted .
"I can shift into a bird and get better view . " Helen suggested .
"That would be great!!! Can you communicate to us in bird form? . . " Yuna smiled .
"Ummm . . . . I'll squawk once to tell you if I see something . . . . then followed with another squawk if they are friendly or a second squawk if they look hostile or Dark Elves . " Helen answered .
"That will be great . . . if you can do that for us . . . . " Yuna smiled .
"Okay!!! . . . . " Helen smiled closing her eyes, her form began to glow green . . . and began to shrink slowly her arms began to change form into wings and her feet shrivelled into avian talons . . . . her nose and mouth elongated into a beak, shifting into a big Hawk . The transformation looked elegant, peacefuland natural . . . unlike the common depiction of transformations like werewolves or other monsters in movies and stories . . . .
"Ohh before you go off . . . " Yun asked holding her arm up for Helen to land on, Helen squawked landing on her arm . "This is just for safety . . . . " Yuna smiled pulling out a gold pendant from her pocket with the symbol of an octopus on it and tied it onto Helen's talons . "Be safe don't do anything risky and don't fly too far from us . " Yuna informed her and raised her hand to let her go . With a squawk Helen beat her wings and began soaring into the sky .
Grace stopped for a few seconds muttering something and pointed at Helen . "What was that? . . " Jay questioned .
"I marked her so I will know where she is at all times . " She smiled .
"That is great . . . " Yuna smiled .
"Jay is there anything we can do to help? . . . " I questioned wondering what spell we could perhaps use .
"Hmmmm none that come to mind sadly . . . " Jay replied .
"Don't worry we'll find her . " Yuna smiled leading us .
"Daisy you're a little quite . . . " Grace asked noticing that she hasn't spoken in ages .
"Huh . . . yeah . . . . I'm just a little worried… . " Daisy said looking back at the city gates .
"Don't worry . . . He will be alright . . . " Yuna tried to reassure her . . . . in the back if my mind I knew we needed to hurry . . . . . We don't know how long his barrier will last or even if it's still up . . . . . and I'm sure he would be overwhelmed instantly once it drops . . . .
"Is there any word on Scarlet and how she's doing? . . " I asked worried for her .
"Sadly . . . We haven't heard anything sadly . . . Grace and Jay replied frowning .
