"Niece!" Kirla screamed, throwing herself at Kahlen. In her fury, she smote his arm, and in a burst of mana, hewed it off at the elbow. The blade demon growled in anger, slinking back and upward, taking to the air. Silver blood dripped from the stump until it stopped altogether, sealed by his regeneration.
"Marge! Heal her!" Rochelle screamed.
The Rabbitkin ran to the fallen archer's side, dropping to her knees. She pressed her hands into her blood-soaked tunic, summoning the power of life. Niece twitched, her limbs spasming, but before the magic took hold, Luxxa swung her sword. A wave of power shot out, striking Marge from behind. She was sent sprawling, tumbling over Niece and slamming into the cliff face. Niece jerked once more, and then went still.
"Why you! We'll kill you!" Jill growled, launching arrows in rapid succession.
