"Fall back!" echoed a voice in Nel's mind, which by now she learned was Cyr's, "Falling back? we're done already?" she said to herself as she continued to run towards everyone. She could see that Niola was exhausted, and that Cyr had a couple of wounds, but she knew that she could help them once they got to safety; the slash wound on her arm would have to wait as well. Thankfully, the enchanted fire helped stop the bleeding a little, enough for her to get to safety before properly addressing it, but she still had to be careful not to move it around too much.
"Are you guys alright? Once we get to a safe place, I can heal everyone, so just hang on, okay?" Nel said as she approached Niola, Cyr, and the others. Her mind was racing, "Oh god...I actually killed someone! I didn't want that to happen, but he left me no choice! But still...I don't want to take another life ever again..." All she could think of while she retreated with the others was the final moments of her battle with a fire user; Her dagger sinking into his back, touching his heart, and freezing it, then him just falling over lifeless. "I really...really need to rest when we can..."
