Hotaru did not take the news to well that they would have to retreat ,but she figured that it was necessary. She could not kill all the demons nor save everyone in the city. However, she could at least save all that she could. He mentioned that the sewers would be the only way out now and that they were located in the market district. She wished the kind people there had escaped through them already. The fire storm made matters worse for she could not do anything about the balls of fire raining down on them. She could already hear the screams from those within one building as they her engulfed in flames. ------------- Nova, Elendil and Dorian the remaining three elves here in the city,... well they were the three remaining ones. I suppose now that you think about it Kyalia was a elf too. She did not like the news she was given. Avalon and Ariol died for nothing it would seem but she did vow to her self that she would get vengeance for their deaths. The demons of the mountain will suffer her wrath someday. Maybe not today but someday they will.
