Daelyn came into the clearing where he could hear Ser'deni yelling for him. He sat the unconscious Daryn down, moving over to inspect the prince. There was a lot of blood, and it made his heart race. It seemed to be all over the two of them. Ser'deni looked weak, but whatever wound Triver had gotten was healed up. Daelyn saw the bloody arrow laying on the grass and assumed poison. He looked around at the horses. Two of them were severely wounded, show through the chest. They would be dead before morning. He stood, going after the other two horses, who were hidden in the bushes.

"There's a healer in Port," Daryn muttered, as he walked past her with the horses. She was moving around, although the wound on her leg throbbed steadily. She didn't even try to get up. Her head spun, and she felt like she might vomit. Daelyn nodded down at her, picking her up and putting her on her horse.

"That's where we will go then," he said, situating her against the beast's neck. He seriously doubted that she would be able to stay upright. He tied the horses reins to his own horse's, going to pick up Triver. The boy was a dead weight. Whatever poison was on that arrow had severe paralyzing effects. Daelyn put the boy on the back of Daryn's horse, right up against her. He wrapped the boys arms around Daryn, and she held on to him as tight as she could. Daelyn moved and swept up Ser'deni next, knowing she could probably walk. But she looked dead tired. He sat her up on his own horse, and swung up on it behind her. She was much smaller than him, and it was easy to reach around her.

"I promise we will make it," he whispered to her, touching her upper arm, "I won't let anything happen to him." He had noticed how close they were. Daelyn didn't know how they were connected, but they reminded him of Daryn and himself. He knew how much it hurt her to see him hurt. He felt it now, looking at Daryn with her still bleeding, fist sized hole in her leg. Daelyn kicked his horse into a run, jerking the other horse into movement.

The path was black. He had to rely on the horse's senses to get through the overgrown path. He forked to the right when the time came, hoping he remembered the way. Hours seemed to pass as they pulsed forward. Daryn could feel the horse's heart racing under her, its muscles pulsing on her pained legs. The air began to smell like salt, and she perked up, knowing they were close to home. Already, if she looked up, she could see the gates.

The horses slowed down as the gates came into view. Daelyn brought them to a stop, staring down at the two guards.

"Your business here?" the older man asked, crossing his arms.

"We are looking for a healer," Daelyn said, "My sister and I were born in Port. We have friends in the village." The man looked at him with hesitation, glancing over at Daryn, who struggled to hold her head up. The man raised his hand at his partner, who went for the crank. As soon as the gate was open wide enough, he lead the horses through.

Port was exactly how the twins remembered. It was on long line on buildings facing the cliffs down to the sea. The natural cliff rocks made roads, and the horse's steps clattered across the sleeping town. They passed the town center, where a fire still burned. Animals roamed around the village unattended, eating whatever had been left out for them. Daelyn led the horses down to the last house in the line and began banging on the door. When no one answered right away, he began to hit louder and faster, until the door swung angrily open. An old, disheveled lady stepped outside, glaring at him. She had a mountain of white, wild hair piled up on her head, and her skin was covered in black markings, making her look threatening. The twins knew better.

"Daelyn Lyker, what brings the likes of you to my doorstep at this hour?" Daelyn smiled at the old lady, who was talking louder than normal. She looked around the street.

"Please, Amaria, we need a healer," Daelyn said, nodding to the three people still on the horses.

"Boy, that man is on the brink of death! And that poor mage looks like she could faint walking," she scolded, "Hurry bring them in, before you wake up the entire village." She disappeared into the house, leaving the four of them on the doorstep. Daelyn grabbed Triver up, taking him into the house and setting him down on the large wooden table that sat in the middle on the front room. He went back and got Ser'deni, laying her down on one of the many cots that lined the room. Amaria had been one of the best healers within 100 miles, but he didn't know if her business still thrived. He went back to get Daryn, who jumped down into his arms. Once inside, she did her best to stand, leaning against the door frame.

"I'll stand guard," she muttered, brushing her long hair away from her face. Amaria rushed over to her, shoving a wet clump of leaved in her hand.

"Pack that into the wound, and don't let anyone in until morning," the old woman said, leaving her to tend to herself.

Daryn stopped the horses, staring ahead at the trees. Daelyn came up beside her, looking at her face. She was deep in her own mind, flipping through her options. They could continue, take the chance of losing the fight and losing the prince. They could go around them, safe but cowards. If they fought the group, there was always the chance that they would be discovered for who they were. Whatever the final choice, they needed to keep the prince hidden. Daryn scaled her surroundings, wondering if there was a way to fight from a distance, so the birds could help.

"We can't go around," Daelyn said, quietly beside her, "Night is falling, and we would be lost in minutes if we strayed from the path."

"We can't confront them," she said in agreement, turning on her horse to face him, "Or else we risk Triver's safety." They just looked at one another for a second, sharing the same thought. How do we fight them from this distance? An owl sounded overhead, like a hint. Daryn looked around in fright, thinking of the birds in the arena. An idea hit her, and she jerked back to look at Daelyn. "What if we fight from above?" Daelyn's face lit up, and he nodded with a smile creeping across his face. They both dismounted, tying the horses to a tree.

"Daelyn and I will ambush them, since they already know we are here. We can't hide from them, and night is falling too fast to go around. I will climb up the trees and over to where they are. I'm a pretty good shot," Daryn said, tapping her bow, "I can knock the first three out before the other four know what hit them. That's where Daelyn will come in. When the other four uncover themselves, he will catch them off guard and knock those four out." She paused, looking up at the trees. "Ser'deni, we need you to stay back and protect Triver. We can't risk them seeing him, or else every bandit in the area will know we are here. From here, if we need help, you can send some."

Then, Daryn looked down at her outfit. She was wearing that stupid dress. Daelyn caught her looking at it and drew his sword. With a swift movement, he chopped it off at the knee, yanking the rest of the fabric away from Daryn. It was embarrassingly short, showing most of her leg and boots. Daelyn didn't like that so much skin was showing, but she seemed to like it as she disappeared into the nearest tree. She'd always been much better at climbing that he had. Daelyn gave the made and prince a nod, moving forward in the shadows of the trees. Ser'deni had been right. There were three men with jagged, worn swords drawn waiting on the path. They whispered amongst themselves, eyeing the bushes behind them every so often. Daelyn assumed that was where the rest of there crew hid.

Daelyn heard the whistle of the arrow right before it struck the first man. It hit right where Daryn had aimed, the heart. The dead man looked at his two partners and collapsed on the ground as another arrow struck the second man. By now, the third was checking the trees, sword at the ready. These bandits were unaccustomed to confrontation. While he turned himself in circles, Daryn shot her final blow, hitting this man in the back, clearing through to the front. He gave a guttural cry and collapsed beside his friends.

Silence spread over the small path. Daelyn held his breath, hearing Daryn moving overhead. If the four were hiding behind the trees, they weren't coming out. Daryn stared down at Daelyn's hunched figure, waiting. Nothing was happening. She cussed under her breath, putting her bow back over her back. When she led out a long breath, the arrow sizzled through the air, landing in her thigh. It was all she could do not to scream, ducking further into her shadows. They knew where she was. Tears formed in her eyes as she jerked the arrow out, feeling the warm blood flow down her leg. She had to get down to Daelyn. Already, though, she was light headed.

Daelyn saw the bloody arrow land on the grass beside him, and he jumped up. The source of the arrow was a man clad in black, hiding right in the shadow in front of the bushed. When Daelyn stood, the three other men did the same, swords drawn. The black dressed man disappeared, making Daelyn cuss. It was all he could do, though, to keep the other three men at bay. Panting, he drove his sword through their stomachs, pushing them into a heap behind the path.

Overhead, Daryn watched the man in black run towards Ser'deni and Triver. She fought her numb leg to move, eventually crashing to the ground in an unconscious heap. Daelyn heard her hit hard ground, following the sound to her bloody body. He picked her up and raced back to where he was sure the man was heading.
