When she saw the purple storm that was more than five, full-sized Night Elves come either falling, flying or tumbling towards her and Bella; Sathrielle had no problems whatsoever leaving her hostage on her own.

[i]"Every woman to herself!"[/i]

The shrunk battlemage would let go of the terrified Bella, and disappear in a white glimmer and mystical mist! Reappearing a couple of feet away, she'd immediately hide behind a small rock to glance back at her previous position, just in time to see a desperate and confused Bella scurry around in confusion before suddenly disappearing beneath the large rear end of the Sentinel Aleena as she slumped down on her with a crash; the apprentice then nowhere to be seen!

[i]"Don't think I'll ever be getting that hostage back anytime soon." [/i]

Sathrielle thought to herself as she studied the chaos, before eyeing the elevator where there was now a cloud of smoke steaming out from between the gate doors. 

There was, however, a dangerous amount of open ground between her current hideout and the elevator doors. She also noticed a rather rare sight, a Night Elven mage, Vashi, in the midst of the pile of Night Elves that was now sprawled nearby. Even though she was unsure exactly how lucid or aware the particular Night Elven Magi was, she did not want to risk alerting her with any sudden teleportations. 

In fact, standing behind her rock, she was pretty much invisible from the rest of the people in the cove unless someone were to walk all the way up to the cave wall! 

Rather than risk it in a sprint to the elevator, or a teleport that could be intervened by Vashi, perhaps the most prudent course of action would be patience. The intruders did, after all, not have the luxury of time to go search for her behind every rock and in every nook and cranny in the cove. If she waited, hopefully they would leave on their own accord...

Taking a deep breath, Sathrielle would crouch down to further reduce her visible size behind the rock and remained completely quiet - staying as motionless as possible.
