Blood dripped from Zedya's darksteel fighting gauntlets as she threw herself at the white-furred nightmare that had arrived to reinforce the column of soldiers attacking Nyrielle's people. Her movements were stiff and clumsy and without heavy use of Mist Walker Dance, she wouldn't have been able to stay upright to keep fighting against the savage vampire before her.
At first, Zedya's strategy of keeping Captain Lennart and his men out of the battle worked brilliantly. Because the only people around her were enemies, Zedya was able to move freely without concern for how her movements might impact her allies. In her mind, even the Golden Eyed soldiers who had fallen under her spell were expendable as long as they kept the battle from reaching the people she had promised to protect.
