"Not far!" The fae squeaked. In the distance, you see a shimmering light...
--------------
Any nervousness or apprehension Ysonne may have shown before was gone now. She seemed to relish in the combat she found herself in, gracefully dispatching one faerie after another. Before long, you could see the shimmer of the portal in the distance.
Knowing that Brigid was busy fending off the Fae, Xen called out to her saying, "The portal is just ahead! We're almost there! Once through on the other side we should be able to fend them off until help can arrive."
Then mustering up energy Xen set himself into a dead sprint for the portal...
Reed slashed through one of the fae going for Xen's hamstring, dropping him to the ground with a cut off squeak.
"They were trying to help us, and you idiots are going to kill them for it?!"
"Oh boy," Vera grumbles, "Now you've done it."
In recognition of this help, Brigid shoots an arrow through a fae coming up behind Vera with a menacing look on its face.
––––––––––––
Ysonne leapt into the air and swung around, her blade slicing through three fae, and hitting a fourth as she landed in a roll, coming back up to a full run in a fraction of a second. A serene smile has appeared on her face, as she shares a glance with Aramil.
Tayal, meanwhile, is looking a bit scratched up, but is following Ysonne, being half-supported by Ashling. The battle is not faring well for her, and only her proximity to Ashling's protective flame is keeping her from being stabbed to death by the fae.
Xen panted out a thanks as he slapped a few more Fae to the ground. He was getting closer to the portal, close enough that he could spare a glance back at the throng of Fae following them. He needed to know what he would be facing when he got on the other side. A quick glance should do it...
Xen had waited but just a second as his companions went through the portal. Then with a final look at the swarm of Fae closing in he thought,
Please don't follow us... I don't want to hurt you...
Please.
With that final thought he turned around and stepped through the portal. Inside he looked around to make sure all of his companions were with him. If the portal was still stable then they should be arriving in Dominaria shortly...
Xen can hear a shout behind him from one of the two fae. "And STAY out!"
Brigid is gulping in big breaths of air, and she looks scratched, but unwounded.
——————————
Ysonne is into the portal right after Aramil. Ashling throws a little fire onto the nearby brush, warding away the pursuers, and they jump into the portal as well.
Xen thought with dread as he turned around expecting to see Oona and perhaps an army of her Fae...
As Xen turns to look at the source of the voice I'd like you to provide a description of the scene along with any of his companions... *cough*Aramil*cough*
Xen and Aramil, united once more, turned to see a very irate Oona. "You will not leave. Not yet." She fumed. "Your blood will help me complete the ritual.. And if that fails, it will consecrate Glen Elandra."
"Your ignorance is frustrating, Oona." responded Xen with just a hint of irritation in his voice as he continued saying, "Had I known just how foolish you were then I would NEVER had handed over that mirror to you. The damage you've unleashed can only be imagined. I had planned to return home to see what I could learn about the harm you have done, chased by your children who blame your incompetence on me. Now I find myself stopped by the very person who is responsible for all of this."
Xen shook his head in frustration saying, "Normally I am a patient man and willing to forgive. For you, there will be no forgiveness, no respite. You I will send to the Blind Eternities!"
Aramil looked at Oona with a fire in his eyes. Then, he drew mana to himself and said, "You made a mistake using a spell you have no idea how to handle. You made another not letting us leave. Don't worry, though, for that mistake will be your last."
OOC: Aramil's pissed off and he's rearing to go. So, I see no reason for him not to kick things off.
"What they know or didn't know is irrelevant. Because of their meddlesome involvement, the ritual has failed!" Oona fumed. "And for that, they shall pay!" In the silence of the aether, you hear a hum. "We're here to help, mother!"
Xen let out a sigh of frustration before focusing his mind. Then calling upon the tranquility of the forests, he summoned forth his primal mana and channeled it into a creature summoning spell. Green vapors of mana darted into the portal vortex around them conjuring forth one of his elves. This was soon followed by an elvish spirit flying into the 'ground' before him summoning a second elf.
Then concentrating his mind, Xen began to focus on his inner core in preparation of drawing further mana to himself thinking,
I am the forests. I am tranquility, primal, and powerful. Mine is the power of nature!
He then tapped into himself as one would with a land and drew mana from his own body summoning a third elf from the Eternities.
Gasping from the conversion of his body into mana Xen said, "Stay tight together and support each others' spells."
Posting for Ysonne's first turn as Red didn't update since he was last on.
Ysonne steps slightly in front of Aramil slicing her blade in a downward arc causing a phantom image of an elf to appear, as if heralding it's arrival. As the image faded a new one appeared, this time a solid elf gripping it's own blade.

Perhaps backing out of the Glen was not the best choice. Then again Vera and Reed didn't think it was a good idea to stick around and they're Fae.
A mental image of the cloud of Fae he had just seen flashed in his mind as he thought,
I really hope they give up pursuit when we make it through the portal. I truly do not wish to harm them over a misunderstanding...

OOC: Assuming we make it to the portal as the chase hasn't been interrupted at all.
Finally, you all reached the portal. In the swirling aether, all seemed quiet...
