Serus danced around the room, fighting with the Head of the Council. "Xander, I honestly expected more from you. I didn't expect you to be so weak after almost 1500 years." She twisted to the side, avoiding his short sword's blade. Using her momentum, she brought her arm down, dagger out, and cut deep down his chest.

The man grunted, jumping back away from her, "While I am not surprised you are behind this whole thing, the fact that you're alive and directing it does. I knew Jaelynn would follow your plans regardless, but knowing that you're still alive and orchestrating every move is just plain amazing." The cut quickly healed up and he lunged at her, driving his shoulder into her chest, sending her back into the wall.

Serus crashed into the wall, smashing her head on one of the old-fashioned looking lights on the wall. She fell to her knees, holding the back of her head, "Can I not go two hours without getting all bloody again?! And if you ruin this dress Xander I will not be pleased. It's my last one!" She jumped forward, her knife penetrating his heart, sending him to his knees, "You should not have held back on me boy."
