[b] [u] Alaira Taenn [/u] [/b]

Alaira shot forward. Those bandits thought a smoke bomb would be enough? Ha. They seemed to expect Alaira would be worried about the caravan, which would be their downfall. She grabbed one by the collar, pulling him back and smacking him full force in the side of the head with her shield, which was a more or less instant KO, needless to say. He let him fall to the ground like a sack of bricks, prepared to go after the other one (she only knew the general direction he fled to, the smoke bomb was now in full effect) when she heard quite possibly the worst sound she could hear. 

[b]"Lyn!?"[/b]

She whipped around, the bridge was very much visible as she did indeed see Lyn... falling?! She instantly forgot about the bandits and sprinted forward. Even with her magic it wouldn't be enough... Then Meirin tossed her. She used more magic, dashing to the side and falling to the ground. Before though, she used some more of her magic to give Meirin a bit of a boost up, it wouldn't save her, but perhaps it would give someone the extra second they need to help her. If she died... Anyway, Lyn would have a much softer landing than on the hard gravelly beach. She caught Lyn, the impact knocking the wind out of her. [b]"L-lyn?... Wh-why are you..."[/b] She was shaking, the overuse of her magic having a very prominent effect as she held the girl. She turned her head, coughing up a fair amount of blood as she faded in and out of consciousness.
