The Hell hound spots Xena  from a distance and charges, leaving Adelaide's  side. She watches it gallop off and leap into combat with Xena, snarling and snapping as they clash, crashing into a ruined wall and knocking it down....

Asja leads the group down a ruined street, hurrying as they weave their way through the fallen buildings. She speaks as they go.

"It's all the way to the west end.  I saw that Conrad of which you spoke enter it, and he has yet to emerge, so I imagine he's still..."

The group comes to a side street. They look down the main road, and see Hound, Praetor, and Adelaide.

Asja pauses. She points down the road.

"Keep going.  All the way down, it is the only one.  I will distract Adelaide so you can continue, and I will inform Mr. Jaghund and Sir Praetor to follow you.  Do not stop.  If you do, they may not be able to catch up to you.  Hurry."

Praetor and Hound see the group from a distance, and see them all continue on their way, except for Asja. She breaks from the group and rockets towards the three, landing close by.

She stays at the Regent, and her hands begin to glow.

"My apologies, Lady Adelaide.  I cannot allow you to interfere." She looks at Praetor and Hound. "The others are continuing down the main road.  You should hurry.  I will watch after Jeiel and help the others take care of them.  You have my word."

Adelaide's smile turns into a sneer. "You...you again.  I told you that if I saw you again, I would rip you apart."

"Be that as it may," Asja says, raising her hands, palms open and forward, "As much as I...regret doing this, I cannot allow this, my Lady.  Please, don't force me to." Even as her hands are beginning to glow, her voice remains even.
