Ciara ran to follow the man. She had a card in her hand, a tiger, though she had yet to summon it.

Three large men, each with violet tunics with a silver raven stitched onto them rounded the corner, tackling Ciara to the ground. They held down each of her arms and one held her mouth closed.

Ciara struggled against the men, though they were too strong for her to fight off. She tried now to summon the tiger, trying to let her power reach the card.

"Dammit!" Aleksi said from inside his metal prison. He wanted to help, but had no way of breaking the seal Ciara had placed on him.
The man with the robes glanced at Ciara's arm as if following something from the base to the hand, then looked at the card in her hand. With a flip of his wrist, he threw a dagger at the card, pulling it from Ciara's grip.

"No!" Ciara tried to scream. She struggled more, trying to get free. At least it hadn't been the card with her brother sealed inside...

Aleksi cursed again. he wished he had known magic, but he only had the ability to shift forms. He glanced around at the men, knowing that they were the ones he had been searching for, and was tormented by the fact that he could do nothing to get to them.
The robed man picked up the card and examined it. He grunted with anger at the fact that he had destroyed such a beautiful piece of magic. He nodded to the three men on Ciara, who began chuckling.

"Release me!" Ciara tried to scream, though she was still silenced by the man's hand.

"Ciara! Release me!" Aleksi screamed silently, his voice echoing in the void he was contained in. He gazed out of the blade at her, pounding on the metal window in front of him.
The three men pulled out their weapons, and began to search her clothes for worthwhile items.

Ciara sent as much power as she dared to the blade in her hand, trying to free Aleski. She knew that to free him she had to use a verbal spell, but this was worth a shot.
Ciara carried a purse of coins, a tiny dagger, and, of course, her cards. If they were taken, she would go insane trying to get them back.

Aleksi cringed at the massive burst of energy. The seal placed on him was nigh obliterated. His darker personality took over, and the strange grin returned to him.
One of the men found her coin purse, and smirked while cutting it away from Ciara.
A massive burst of light came from the weapon as Aleksi freed himself. He materialized crouched next to Ciara, holding her hand. "Thank you madame." He said grinning. He pulled her hand up despite the man holding it and kissed it. Then in one motion, he dropped her hand and punched the nearest of the bandits, knocking him off Ciara.

Some tears ran down Ciara's face onto the ground. Her heart felt like it was going to explode, somewhere between the shock, the magic usage, and the pain that was sent to her when the card was destroyed.

Aleksi wrapped his arm which was now a chain around the man covering Ciara's mouth's neck. He pulled him to him and slit his throat when he turned his other hand into a blade. A gore shower covered Aleksi's face, as the stream of blood was held inches from him. Aleksi dropped the man and wrapped two chains around the last bandit. He pulled on both of the chains until the man's bones broke, and then left him on the ground to die.

Ciara whimpered in agony and tried to get to the card. She might still be able to save it.

Aleksi looked to the man in robes and quickly launched a chain at him. As the chain wrapped around him, the man turned to look at Aleksi. Aleksi pulled on the chain, to bring the man to him, but he felt no resistance as only the cloak came to him. The man had disappeared.

Ciara reached out for the card. "Where is it?" she asked herself. Then she saw the man had disappeared. "Where did he go?"
