There was only one more to deal with and it came up on Riena from behind a shout from one of the soldiers alerted her and she turned quickly and blocked it's strike with her blade. It's fangs locked with her sword she kept it pushed firmly back.
"You aren't getting me so easy."
She spoke through gritted teeth as it writhed and let go of the blade and lunged towards her right arm tearing off the right sleeve of her coat.

Banrei put his arms around it and squeezed doing an odd scizzor like motion and snapping it right in half.

There was Serpent blood splattered over the ground and the corpses of the creature lay in pieces. Riena immediatly covered her right wrist with her other hand and gave out orders.
"Get the wounded to the slums and the burn the bodies of the plague spreaders."
She said and took a look at Banrei still hiding something on her wrist.
"Your no amatuer, well done."
She said before turning to walk away.

He bowed deeply to her "Of course I'm not Ma'am, I'm a martial arts professional" He said with a smile.

Riena turned back to look at Banrei her hand firmly shoved inside her coat pocket which no concealed her wrist as well.
"Riena to you it's Riena."
She said before walking back to the compound.

"You've earned my respect we'll leave it at that."
Was her only response, she seemed eager to get away her professional attitude seemed to be crumbling for a moment. Riena Belltower had something to hide.

Riena tried to overtake Banrei but he clearly wasn't giving up as she was almost at jogging pace heading towards her room gripping her wrist tightly as if she was frightened some secret would spill out like blood.

He smiled to her and walked off to his own room, he walked in and sat down on his bed.

Riena ignored Banrei's expression and slammed the door to her small room shut. She sat down at the desk and placed her coat sleeve underneath the faint glow the sea crystal gave off to examine the extent of the damage. In the faint blue light her blackbirthmark was visible, the black Raven on the back of her hand and the symbols of the prophecy circling her wrist. She looked at it for a moment before pushing thoughts about it to the back of her mind and began to fix the links on her armoured coat. As she was finishing someone knocked on her door, she finished the last repairs to her sleeve and answered. It was Nina one of the Tempest subordinates.
"Are you alright Captain?"
"I'm fine, listen those plauge spreaders came out of nowhere the Serpent Riders may have changed their patrol course. I'm taking out a patrol to track them, you're coming with me."
"Yes Captain." Nina said rushing off to her room to prepare.
Riena pulled a black hooded cloak on over her armoured coat and raised the hood. The other two troops that Nina had rallied followed Riena to the mouth of the Labryinth as the made their way into the darkness.

Banrei had been talking to soldiers and heard this news so he desided to go help them out and made a run for the Labirynth.

Riena leant against one of the black walls almost completly concealed, she flicked two fingers in the signal to move forward and the other troops immediatly obeyed as they headed south east stopping occasionally to conceal themselves in shadows. The Serpent Riders had set a trap in waiting for the Silverspring Captain. As they entered a large Cavern they surrounded them from three sides. Riena clashed blades with on and shouted to the troops.
"Go!"
Nina stood still shocked by the situation.
"That's an order Nina! Take the troops and go!"
She shouted at the top of her voice as another Serpent Rider approached and slashed her brutally with it's poisoned blade as Nina ran. She hit someone.
"Lieutenant? What are you doing here?"
Nina's voice was laced with panic although she tried not to show it.

Riena's cloak hid her more serious injuries as she stabbed the wraith in the heart and it writhed on the ground as she delivered the last blow. Before dropping her blade and falling to the ground, her cloak had a dark stain spreading over the material and her gloves were slashed to ribbons by the blades of the Serpent Riders. In between the shreads of material the black Raven on her hand and wrist was visible.
