"We're in the middle of a festival, dear. " She says

"We must!"

She tugs on the knight's hand and stretches up to whisper. "I saw..."

At the phrase "I saw" Dame ash grows somber, then listens , then says "Stay here, I'll handle this"

Fret.

And Dame Ash heds off.

And it is Vaeltilde who says "Who of you can veil?"

Ellie shakes her head.

Adalia holds up her hand "Yes? "

"Good." Vaeltilde says "Veil me.. or if yo ucan do more, us.. I am going to help Master Jum" She commands in a whisper so the thane cannot here.

"You can't go alone!"

"Then you and your friends may come with me, in the fires of battle, true comrades are found!" The Aesisn 's eyes flare with certainty "Or do n't, but I AM going"

"You can't go alone..." She looks at Salma and Ariel.

Ariel says "I'll go"

"I have Fire-heart..."

yup

Ellie WANTS to go

but she's pretty sure she's not allowed

Salma takes Adalia's hand (assuming that the new girl doesn't pull away, and Ellie's hand in the other. "New amigas are important, too."

The Piskie sighs and then chants something in Spanish.. and a veil falls over them all

And Vaeltilde heads past the unsuspecting Thane to make her way after Ash! And towards Master Jum! The others can come or not

Ellie follows, her hand in Salma's!

A glance back at Ariel and a smile - she doesn't have enough hands, but she doesn't forget her friend.

Ariel puts a hand on Salma's shoudler and they GO!

...slipping out isn't that hard to do. Everyone is guarding to keep undesirables OUT!

And it appears the little Piskie is good at veiling

Had they a sluagh at the court, that sluagh MIGHT See through the Chicanery, but Varich courts discourage sluagh. The irony is lost on everyone except, dear reader, perhaps yourself and the writer at this moment

And so, the childlings go!

Unseen and unheard!

Short legs suck! They really do...

but they do lead through the streets and then past some tourist traps

and fine near a laundrymat a small shop, where sounds of battle commence!

Ellie draws Fireheart, the metal glowing purple as the flame within yearns to burst free!

Vaeltilde takes out her own viking sword "You shall not harm a hair on that dear old Boggan's head, or else I shall make blood eagle with your entrails! " And she kicks the door of the small shop

And a GOOD kick (For a kid) it is...for the door swings open to reveal Dame Ash fighting hard against two thallian and some sort of ..thing that might be a thallian and mkight not. An old boggan groans , looking pale

Ellie... no... Countess Eleanour, for all that she might be small.. dives into the fight. Fireheart bursts forth into glorious flame!

Salma dives - AWAY from the fight. She skirts the edge of the battle, ears flat and threatening to cover her eyes, and she heads towards the boggan. "Señor, apóyese en mí para que pueda ser su bestia de carga..." And a moment later, en ingles, "The help is come to help?"

"Gracioas " Mister Jum mutters in Spansih weakly

And Ariel moves to him as well... chanting "By the Honor of the Rice Krispie treat, I am ... HEAL RA..." Spring magic flowing

The little sidhe is small, which puts her in below comfortable reach. Where she lacks strength, the fire provides damage - and she does not lack for speed!

And no one expects the Childling sword incision!

As her blazing sword tears and burns... Vaeltilde's blade SINGS a song that the chldlings do not know, almost merrily as it goes in battle.

Ash sees them appear as if out of nowheere, and wounding a Thallian or not, she says "What are you girls DOING HERE?"

"Helping!" STAB.

One ear half-perks up at the song, but the other remains down where it cannot be lopped off. "No hay nadie aquí, salvo nosotros gallinas!" Ducking under one of the boggan's arms to support his weight, and edging him further from the fighting.

And the piskie assists with the pulling...

As the childling Double team takaes down one Thallian, another hisses, and stabs at the Beaumayn with an ice pick! Not a good strike, for it but grazes her skin!

...Which Beaumayn?

The LITTLE One..cause Thallians is cowards!

She lets out a little cry, but she stabs him back!
