Alex blushed deeply, brushing her lips against Naisha's ear. [color=red]"....I might take you up on that offer."[/color] she whispered. It really did feel oddly good, it was quite weird really. Was it just a vampire drug thing or was Alex really just a masochist? Either way, the thought still made her face hot. Still, Alex couldn't help but smile as her lover curled up against her, purring cutely and peacefully.

[color=red]"Awe finally."[/color] Alex sighed in relief before perking up at the site of soldiers and gave a irritated growl. Really?! [color=red]"God damnit! Don't these assholes ever learn?!" The red head spat irritably as she unsheathed her demon sword, but used her other hand to hold Naisha and the reigns closely while slashing any soldier that dared to try and stop them. While Naisha cleared a path with her magic while the Amazons guarding the gate and defending by using arrows and spears from the wall started opening the giant gates for the two. 

After riding inside, Alex glanced back to see the gates slam shut, the soldiers cursing loudly and shouting.

[color=lime]"Lady Naisha and Lady Alana! Thank the Mothers you have returned!"[/color] Alana shouted as she came out to meet them, utter relief and joy on the elf's face.

Alex dismounted, helping Naisha down and looked to the elf, face twisting in both concern and annoyance. [color=red]"Have those bastards been here the entire time? And how's the Queen?"[/color] she asked.

The elf sighed and slowly nodded as she glanced toward the gates. [color=lime]"Yes. They seem to be trying to defeat the Amazons while Lady Krieli'nas is away and Queen Karette is too ill to fight. Our walls are strong though and the Amazons by themselves are still not easy to defeat even without Queen Karette. Queen Karette.... she's been hanging in there, but she's been feeling worse by the minute."[/color] she said softly.

Within the Queen's chambers, the ill Queen layed in her bed of furs, gasping a bit and beads of sweat dripping from her tan skin. Crimson hair sticking to her face as she struggled to breathe and her body writhed slightly in pain. [color=plum]".... Kri..."[/color] she whispered out the witch's name. She was feeling a bit delirious, and her thoughts could just focus on her lover. Even if she wasn't here, the thought of her was comforting. Amalthea was beside, the elf's gentle hands over the large amazon, hands glowing with a holy light as she continually used her healing magic. Her frail body shook a bit, obviously struggling from keeping this magic up.
