Having chosen to leave a handful of warriors posted at the back entrance in the event they tried to sneak in. She was smart, and he hated that. Fighting quickly broke out, knives flying, swords stabbing, controlled chaos enraptured them. So much was happening that Maddie had barely registered the soldier coming at him, moving a bit too late as a tear ran across his shirt and a thin red line appeared against his fair skin. The only sound he let out was that of air rushing past clenched teeth as he sucked in air. He didn't want the fight to go noticed, so he needed subtler spells. Maddie shifted his feet, following the same motions he had back at the Tower when he practiced his magic. Static forming at his fingertips as he focused on the blade of the sword that slashed him. Lightning arced from him to the sword, shooting up the hilt and into the soldier's arm. A tingling sensation ran up it before the guard shrugged it away. He tried once more, summoning the lightning and thrusting it through the weapon but the arc went wide and struck a nearby branch that was embedded in the dirt path. Frustrated, Maddie bottled up that emotion and sent a larger surge than the two before, managing to knock the guard back with a grunt of anger.
