[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

[Well, Dairine is armed and doesn't technically count as a child (or at least she doesn't think so), so she doesn't fall back. Or perhaps she just didn't hear Galadriel over the loud shouts and clamor of battle. It's hard to tell.

Either way, she can be seen off to the side, shooting aliens as they approach. But she only has so many arrows and the enemy is gaining fast.]

Dairine!

[Galadriel is making her way over to forcibly move her back, never fear. She has to fight her way there, though. She moves with her usual grace and, here, on the battlefield, it translates to quick, fluid movements. No sooner has she brought her sword down, than she's withdrawn it and moved forward.]

[wizard_redfive]

[OK, she heard her that time. Dairine looks towards the shout just as she shoots another foe in the helmet. ...Or was it eyes? At this point, she wasn't sure.]

Galadriel!

[She's here? Was she safe?!

But then another attacker charges to her left, distracting Dairine. Have to keep herself alive too. A well placed arrow brings it down, but more keep coming. As she shoots those attacking from the front, she fails to notice one sneaking up from behind until it's clawed hand grabs her quiver and the shirt underneath. At the pull of fabric, Dairine lets out a shriek.]

NO!!

[inafadingcrown]

[No, no, no. Galadriel rushes forward, closing the distance between them swiftly. A swing of her sword severs the creature's hand at the wrist, freeing Dairine and splattering them all with fresh blood.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine was already fumbling to reach the knife in her pocket when suddenly the alien lets out a terrible scream and the hands drops down. Literally drops, with blood everywhere. It takes her precious seconds to regain her balance, but when she does, adrenaline takes over. She whips around, her hand snagging an arrow and firing it right at its chest.]
