"They are hard to miss." The spirit master spat out. "Damn bastards. Guess you are not part of them?"
"Well, I was just pursued out of every inch of my life by them. If you hadn’t noticed." She pointed out. "And no, I am not with them. I am a friend of Yu Hua and a Student of the Grandmaster."
"Yu Hua? The Grandmaster?" He sounded confused.
"They are mbers of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. " She admitted. "Not very high ranking, but my friends nevertheless. Now would you stop pointing a weapon at ?" She pointed at the blade he was holding. "Because I think you might need it otherwise." then she pointed upwards at an angel feather floating from the sky. "Seriously. Bigger problems. Priorities."
The man in front of her was already running, though. She shook her head, unfolded her wings, and flew next to him, stretching out her hand.
"Take my hand and tell where I...." he took her hand.
"Straight ahead. Left when I say so." He said, and she nodded. Keeping him close, as she noted his arms curling around her. Well, yes, she guessed that the lack of one arm made the lack of stability for a passenger a thing.
"Left." He thundered, and she folded her wings, twisting and doing a sharp left turn. Her wings were still low on the ground as she curved her way through the forest.
"Let go." He said, and she did. He stumbled on the ground, and then a gong echoed through the forest.
"Attack! Warning!" He thundered, and hell broke loose. The stranger turned, eying her. "I don't know who you are, but I guess you wish to know that most lower-ranking mbers are currently being evacuated in the western part of the forest. I your friends are probably with them, if you say they are low-ranked within the clan hierarchy."
"Thank you. You are very forthcoming." She noted. "Surprisingly so."
"Usually I wouldn't, but desperate tis need desperate asures. You seem to be an ally, maybe you kill a few of them." He grit his teeth. "My parent are there as well. I am keenly interested in my family having every inch of extra protection they could need." He pointed out, and she nodded, taking her arm out of storage and standing in front of him with her coat dropping to he ground as she used her teeth to secure the chanical arm. Nimbly wrapping the connection with black fabric. Then she spreads her wings and put her coat into her storage before setting off.
"Should be around 1.500 or more people." She told him between clenched teeth as she changed her mins and covered herself in her coat again. "From what I scouted and saw above."
"Thank you...?" He tilted his head, and Yin opened her mouth, and for a mont she almost answered truthfully, but then changed her mind.
"Tang San." She said.
"Thank you Miss Tang" He said, and she shrugged.
"There are many great mysteries in the world. The least of them two people with the sa na." She said, then headed west. The green flew past her as she heard voices and stopped running, only to encounter families with their valuables on their shoulders. Babies. Children. A handful of younger spirit masters. Her gaze wandered to a familiar face. Or rather, it was much like Yu Huas, just more aristocratic and male, less pretty and feminine.
A mother told her baby Shooting words as she walked forward to a tense row of spirit masters that stared at her. A young, blond, tall man holding them back. Hissing, "If she were here to harm us, it would have happened already."
"My na is Tang San." She said, and the blond man's eyes opened wide in wonder as he took in her appearance. "I am here for the families of Yu Hua and the Grandmaster."
"Uncle? Yu Hua?" He sounded confused. "I have to admit I have never...."
"A...are you my brother's friend?" A shy voice asked, and she turned to see a father with his arms tightly wrapped around a frail-looking, beautiful young girl. In fact, it already showed that once she grew up, she would be devastating.
"Yes, I am." She said and walked to the little girl with a smile on her lips. "You look much like him."
"He said, when I show you this, you would help. He said his friends were very, very strong." She held out a wooden token; a blue river grass sprouted behind it, a hamr and a sword to protect it. Yin took it, wondering. When had she made this?
This was her work, but when? Had she forgotten? Was this one of the many things she had forgotten?
"A Tang Sect Symbol." She muttered. "It has the power to ask anyone from Tang for help."
"Tang?" The blond young man said. "I have never heard about them before." Behind the evacuation was going on as fast as possible.
"Bro said it's a very, very small sect." The little girl coughed. "But very powerful. Brother said."
Her hands glided over the emblem as she handed it over to the little girl. "Your brother is not entirely wrong. We are a very small sect, but sadly not that powerful." She told her. "But I will do what I can. Go with the others....I will accompany you to make sure all of you are fine."
Putting the token back into the girl's hands. "You keep this. Go to Shrek, ask for Tang San, and if he is not available for Ning Feng or the Grandmaster."
She muttered and then took a deep breath. "How far are you?" She turned to the blond man, nodding at the evacuation ongoing.
"Far enough. We have several routes. But we have a severe lack of ti." He explained. "Every minute bought is precious..."
"Then, as far as it is within my ability." She said, spreading her wings on her back. "I will help buy ti."
