[RPG] [AT][Darka] Bad Day

[Kylie]

Beside the dusty road that meandered into the small town, Danzi lay 
motionless in a ditch watching a black shadow slipping across the rooftops,

<i>"Ivore!"</i> she muttered.

<i>"The guards are down"</i> Edwin whispered

<i>"No, we need to leave.  But we are on the axis of three realms, one 
we are allowed in, one we aren't... what of the third.  Dare we go that 
way?"</i>

She slipped onto the roadway and moved into the town to contact Yasha 
for advice.  Attaching the request to a pigeon, she waited sullenly in a 
nondescript inn for permission or word on which way she should go.

Danzi's head began to droop wearily onto the table, eyes fluttering 
closed in a weary slumber.  The rest was short though, a floorboard 
creak behind her brought her to instant alertness.  Leaping up smoothly, 
she twisted effortlessly and used her dagger to parry an attack directed 
straight to her back.  The attacker, his hands tied to the failed 
attack, kicked her powerfully in the stomach, knocking her back over the 
table.  Her breath rushing from her body with an involuntary groan.  He 
leered at her, his dagger poised to strike when the townguard clamoured 
nosily through the door.

<i>"Cease in the name of Dictator Lister!"</i> they shouted.

Danzi rolled forcibly to her left as her assailant lunged for her belly, 
his blade cut along her waist before hitting the table with an audible 
vibration.  The cumbersome guards, flailing and running awkwardly 
through the room, were almost at the battling infiltrators, so her 
attacker yanked his dagger free and slipped out the window.  Danzi's 
felt the warm gush of blood from her side and her head swum as she 
slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
