Daisy paused a little at the spectacle as surprised as we was, the pain in my side intensified as the feeling of the dagger pulled out of me . . . . my body involuntarily crumbled into Daisy's arm . . . . . I can feel the blood gushing out of my body like a hose on full blast, but thank God Daisy was here .
"You'll be alright . . . . " Daisy looked at me smiling the feeling of her healing touch bringing my vision back and making the pain fade away .
Quickly lifting my wand turning around back to the Dark Elf, "Sorry it took me so long to wake up . . . . . " Paul was kneeling down on one knee holding out a hand smiling .
"Is she . . . " I asked still worried how she appeared behind with no warning .
"I've dealt with her . " He smiled holding my hand and helping me up .
"Daisy are you still good? . . . " He asked holding out his other hand .
"Yeah . . . . sadly I'm spent on my healing today . . . " She admitted .
"That's okay thanks for helping . " He smiled with absolute no worries for the two Dark Elves we just engaged . "How long was I out for? . . . " He questioned .
"Maybe 5 or 10 mintutes . . . . are you okay now? . . " I asked worried for his condition .
"Hmmm to be honest could do with a longer rest . . . . . But duty calls . . . " He smiled straightening his coat .

"Daisy get your weapon . . . I need to update the Deputy Headmistress on the plan as soon as possible . " He asked . . . his nonchalant attitude was extremely unnerving .
"There were more Dark Elves . . . I notified him . . . . . " worried for the others .
"They are fine . . . . . I can sense them . . . . and there's no Dark Elves nearby . " He smiled, "How are you feeling? . . . still in a lot of pain? . . . " He asked looking and feeling my wound .
"Just a little . . . . " I admitted him . . . . .
"Hmm sorry I came here in a hurry . . . so I can't really heal you at the moment . . . . " He apologized .
"Sorry for making you worry . . . " I apologized .
"I will always worry . . . . but you've grown so quickly soon you won't be needing me anymore . " He smiled sincerely .
"What happened to the Dark Elf? . . . " I hesitantly questioned .
"Nothing to worry about . . . . I've dealt with her . " He smiled .
"Umm Paul . . . there was one more that we attacked is she still alive? . . . " Daisy questioned arriving back with her maul .
"I can't sense her so you two must have dealt with her . . . . Well done!!! Next time remember Female Dark Elves are extremely deadly more deadly than their counterparts . . . so engage Female Dark Elves with extreme caution . " He answered .

"Come let's meet up with everyone else . " He smiled leading the way stepping around a small pile of grey dust .
Exiting the tent . . . . the others defiantly had more on their hands then we did looking more weathered then we was . "House Leader!!!" Sven shouted out to Paul .
"Hey Sven . . . . What happened here? . . " He asked politely .
"We engaged six Female Dark Elves dressed as city guards . . . . . Lucky over watch helped us or we would have been done for . " Sven answered him .
"Any of you need healing? . . . I'm afraid I didn't bring my spell books with me so you'd have to rest up in the Triage Centre . " He smiled .
"No I think we can push on . . . " Jay said dusting off his robes a part of his sleeve was torn off to bandage a wound he received on his arm .
"I can help you with that . . . " Helen said helping Grace up on her feet .
"Umm hold off for now . . . . I'm sure we have some Medic Division students on the front line . . . . . So save your spells for now . " He instructed her .
"Sven I want you to send a message to the Deputy Headmistress . . . we need a few students to guard the wounded . . . . and make sure to include one Sensory student . . . . . Tell her that Dark Elves are willing to use dirty tactics targeting the wounded" He instructed .
"Yes House leader . " He nodded and began sending a message with his fingers like sending a morse code message .
"Anyways well done you all . . . I'll be sure to let the teachers know the lives you saved today despite being up against six well trained Female Dark Elf Assassins . " He smiled to everyone with a nod of respect . "Let's go end this battle . " He said and began making his way to the frost line .
"Ohh my God . . . . I'm sorry I didn't take you to the Deputy Headmistress . . . . I remembered in shock . " I apologized to Paul .
"Ahh don't worry about . . . just a minor setback . " He answered with no sign of disappointment in his voice .
"So what's the status report on the wall? . . " He asked .
"As you asked… . Guards are ordered to retreat through teleporters when they start getting overwhelmed, Atlantis students have already fallen back… . . And the wall has been laced with bombs and traps . We've set up defensive position on the inner wall and bottle necks in several locations . " Sven answered .
"Ahh that sounds good . . . . have any of you heard the wall traps getting set off? . . . . . " He asked .
"Not yet… . . But… . Ummmm House leader . . . . what did you have already planned? . . . you must still be pretty spent . . . . " Sven asked politely .
"You're right . . . . ideally I would have preferred being in a better condition and they also have around five priestesses and an High priestess which could render my spells useless . . . . but you know me Sven I always have a plan . " He smiled .
"And what plan would that be? . . " He asked .
"I'm gonna rain Hellfire on top of them . " He replied, "By the way . . . anyone of you seen Scarlet? . . . . . She could have easily forced to retreat . . . . " Paul asked .
"But you said they would render your . . . . " He stopped himself finishing the sentence . . . . . "Ummm… . No one has seen her since the left with guards on patrol . . . . and the artificial darkness has made it hard to see past the city outer walls .
"And I haven't been able to reach her with our communication badge either . . . . and the darkness also caused some static . " I answered .
"Odd . . . . if they were stupid enough to try and ambush her she should've been back by now . . . . . Maybe she's busy doing something . " Paul pondered not even showing a bit of worry for her .
"How many casualties? . . . . have we received?" Paul asked .
"No fatalities so far for Atlantis students . . . . City guard has lost a good number . . . . and some key higher and middle class families have lost members . . . . But that all happened before we arrived . . . " Sven informed him .
Paul stopped in his tracks suddenly . . . . "Ohhhh . . . what you'll witness is going to be extremely inhumane . . . . . . if you're not ready . . . please . . . . look away . . . " He warned us, but it felt more directed to me . . . . . With a stern caring tone like he had no other choice and began leading the way again .
"Ummm . . . . Commander Paul . . . . Dark Elves are fierce loyal fighters . . . . " Helen tried to notify him .
"I know . . . that's why I need to show them extreme excessive force that they have no other option but to retreat . . . . . " He agreed in a sombre tone . . . "I need to show them a force so overwhelming so this will never happen again . . . So they'd never try and attack a city within the borders of Atlantis . . . . . . . Stop the killing of innocence and mindless deaths of soldiers… . . " He added deeply saddened by the role he has to perform .
"Is he gonna unleash the black flame on them? . . " Jay whispered me like I would have a clue .
"I . . . . don't know myself . . . . . " I replied staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of me . . . . .
