Karisse's Point of View:
An arrow whizzed by my head, catching Kiraak in the shoulder. She gasped in pain, but then the other elves closed around her and I couldn't see her anymore. I heard a noise as if something had been summoned, and then the elves launched back at me. There were still over a dozen of them left, so I knew I couldn't fight them on my own.
"Kiraak! Where are you?"
"She's gone," one of the elves hissed, "And now we're going to kill YOU."
I teleported away and back into the camp.
"Fall back! I repeat FALL BACK!"
Both sides of the battle retreated, and Rigmor came to stand beside me.
"What about Kiraak? Is she alright?"
"I don't know," I told her, "I believe she's been abducted and taken somewhere else but I have no indication as to where that somewhere else may be."
"We need to get her back then," the girl said, "How would you propose to do this?"
"I want to take a small group of my soldiers out searching. When we find a location that seems to be a prison facility we'll sneak in, liberate her and any other prisoners and take it apart from the inside with their aid."
"Would you like my assistance?"
"No. I'm most comfortable with my own men and too large of a group would attract unnecessary attention."
She nodded.
"Very well," she said, "Good luck."
"Ilmdur, Lorussa, Enron, Nennte, Fanar, Celrine" I shouted, calling to the 6 most skillful members of my retinue.
"Yes, General?"
I glanced at the sky and noticed it was getting dark.
"Get some rest," I ordered them, "We're hitting the road at first light tomorrow."
"What? Just the 7 of us?"
"Yes. Just us. We're going on a rescue mission," I explained, "I'll explain when we're on the road. For now get ready."
Our mages kept a steady bombardment of fireballs that prevented the New Order troops from attacking as our company, which Rigmor had nicknamed The Fearless Seven, rode out through the gates of the war camp and away from the battles.
"General, you said you'd explain once we were on the move."
"Aye. General Kiraak was abducted by the New Order," I told them, "We're going to locate the prison facility where she is being held, then we are going to infiltrate it, free the prisoners and help them dispose of the guards."
"How do you intend to find the facility?"
"That..I have not figured out yet," I admitted.
Ilmdur groaned, and I guessed he was not happy with my answer to his question.
Sorry for the short chapter again, but I wasn't sure how to drag this part on smoothly.
