dare you try to kill a little girl!" Triska roared.
    "Shut your mouth, brat, you don't know anything!" one of the men barked back.
    Again the young girl's scream came from the burning carriage, with everybody looking to it.
    "That's right, burn you little-" one man yelled out before Triska lunged forward and struck her blade into his gut, then swiping to the side through his body and knocking the pitchfork out of the hands of another man. The villager jumped back with surprise while the two other armed men struck at her with their weapons. The other villager however dropped down screaming and coughing out blood as his stomach was bleeding severely. Triska whipped her blade up and blocked one pitchfork from striking her face then darted back to avoid another.
    "How dare you, kid!" one of the men yelled as he swung at her while another tried to thrust his weapon towards the girl. She darted back then swung her blade, knocking the weapon shooting towards her off to the side with great force. With a fierce yell she then swung around again, slicing through a man’s skull with a crunch. As he dropped dead the other two raced at her with their weapons. One of them jabbed forward with his pitchfork, the girl holding her blade out and stopping the ends from striking her as the steel clashed against each other. Before she could move the man turned and thrust his weapon down, the forked end pulling and yanking the sword out of the girl's hands and into the ground. Triska growled then unsheathed her dagger, watching the two men with anger as she held her blade up defensively.
    "You'll pay for that, girl, you're dead!" one of the men yelled as he ran towards her with his weapon held out. Suddenly he was tackled to the ground by an extremely heavy duffel bag. Triska watched with wonder then over to see Daniel nearby as he glared at the men. He unsheathed his dagger from his shirt and held it out shakily with both hands.
    "Daniel?" Triska asked with surprise.
    "Holy shit… what the hell is in this thing anyway? Oh god, get it off me!" the man yelled out as he struggled to get the heavy bag off of his back. Triska whipped her dagger at the other man, the human dodging to the side as she raced towards her sword. She rolled onto the ground and grabbed the handle as she passed by, jumping back to her feet and holding her sword once again. With a fierce yell she then raced towards the armed man while Daniel held his blade close to the face of the one that was pinned under Triska’s bag.
    "Why are you doing this? How could you try to kill an innocent girl?" Daniel asked with anger as the man just looked at the blade near his face. Triska swung her sword and whacked off the end of the other villager's pitchfork, then swinging to the side she sliced across his chest. He screamed in pain while dropping back as the other villager looked over to the burning carriage with fearful eyes.
    "You don't understand, kid, she needs to die," he said with frustration. Daniel shook his head and stood back up, holding the blade towards the man still.
    "How could you?" he said with disbelief.
    "Daniel, get the girl out of there!" Triska cried out as she ran over towards them. He jumped a bit then looked to the carriage.
    "Ah… right," he said before he headed over to it. Triska ran over to the pinned villager and held her blade towards his head.
    "How dare you try to kill a little girl, for thieves you've sunk to a new low," she hissed out. The man looked at her and shook his head fearfully.
    "You don't understand, we're not thieves, she's-" he started before the girl yelled and swiped her blade through his head, blood and bits of the skull splattering out near her bag and across the grass. She growled with anger then looked to the carriage that was engulfed in fire. Daniel was eyeing around at it with worry as he sheathed his dagger. He shook his head as he backed up a bit, shielding his face from the heat with one arm.
    "Hey! Are you alive in there? Say
