I...Im sorry master...my thoughts are insolent...I will try to calm down. Lillia responded, though Alex had just scored another blow to her. She wasnt even free in her thoughts, though she held no resentment for Alex for that, it made her even more jealous of the elf she was pinning down.

"B-But...my things..." Sarah said softly, but she was no fool, or at least not one that couldnt get a point. "I...I will lea-Levitatis!" she yelled. Suddenly Lillia, Alex and Neko were all airborne, levitating above the ground. Sarah was also lifted up into the air and screamed "Look out!" Alex would only have the few floating black arrow heads that now drifted in the air with them for warning as one of the three assassins in the room began to reload and am another arrow for the back of his head.

"Shildara!" Sarah yelled, but her magic was untrained and the spell which should have shielded them, blew up in her face, sending Lillia into the wall hard, Sarah into the pillar and Neko and Alex into the pool. Although she had not shielded them, she had knocked them out of the levitation zone and normal gravity was restored for all of them. She had also pushed them all out of the way of another swarm of poisoned arrow heads.

The three assassins drew blades and one went after each of them, one for Alex, one for Sarah and one for Lillia. Sarah was groaning and obviously knocked out of focus, Lillia was only wearing a light robe and was otherwise unarmed, but Alex was the master of magic, and although he had landed in the water, His small angel had skimmed out of his arms and hit her head and back against the stairs. She now lay in the shallow water unmoving and silent. IF all that had happened already wasnt enough to bring out Alex's wrath, then this would probably due it.
