Cynn EllimeCynn was confused when Annabeth rushed out of their room, but when the girl stabbed a demon in the mouth, she got a pretty good inkling as to what was going on. Rushing to close her door, she quickly got dressed, putting on her
leather breastplate and a simple pair of pants before picking up her rapier and reopening the door.
Apparently, enough time had passed that no more demons were lurking about her hallway. Something told her they'd all run off to the areas of concentration, places where the students would be present in large quantities. Despite her best judgement, the elf, too, found herself doing this, running towards the dining hall. Anyone who could fight would probably be needed in there, helping the students at the feast. In a little over a minute, Cynn found confirmation of her fears when she stepped through a hole that had been smashed in the wall, presumably by a demon of some considerable strength. She stayed close to the wall as she searched for someone that she could take care of.
The room was chaos. Students were fighting demons, demons were fighting students, but soon, the white-haired elf's eyes settled on one man. He wore a mask, which wasn't very sneaky, and was slashing through anything on his way to people who appeared to be fairly important people. Cynn figured the mask was supposed to send a message, but it also made him very easy to pick out in the crowd. Cynn ran toward him, making sure her route wasn't impeded by any unoccupied demon.
This man embodied all she hated in the world. He didn't care about who he had to hurt as long as he killed the people he was paid to kill. Unfortunately for the man, he'd chosen to use two knives, which were things the elf girl knew how to deal with. She might have forgotten a lot of her training, but how to defeat a person wielding knives wasn't one of them. She made sure to keep that tidbit of knowledge retained, for the weapon of choice for most common cutthroats was the knife, after all.
As she approached, Cynn drew her rapier. She arrived just in time to see him about to cut own a student, and she jumped forward, parrying his strikes in the process. The student wouldn't have even seen his attacks coming. It was despicable. She slid into en garde position, obviously challenging the man to a duel.
